'''Precursor Bloon''' is a [[Bloon (BCS)|Basic Bloon]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|5.0}}. If it leaks, it summons a [[Ceramic Bloon (BCS)|Ceramic Bloon]]. Leaking a Precursor Bloon will not decrease delay of its summoned Bloon. | |||
The card artwork depicts a Precursor Bloon buried underneath many layers of dirt and rocks, as well as bones and a dinosaur skull. The in-game model of the Precursor Bloon resembles a [[Red Bloon (BCS)|Red Bloon]] with a piece of a Ceramic Bloon attached on it. | |||

*Avoid leaking | *Avoid leaking this Bloon, or else it will summon a [[Ceramic Bloon (BCS)|Ceramic Bloon]] for extremely cheap. Precursor Bloon works best if the opponent cannot afford anything to damage it. | ||
**[[Barrel of Monkeys]] (two on Dark Castle), two [[Dart Monkey Twins]], or a [[Ninja Monkey (BCS)|Ninja]] are easy ways to stop a Precursor Bloon from leaking. | |||
**[[Barrel of Monkeys]] (two on Dark Castle) | *If the opponent only relies on manually targeted Monkeys, [[Must Pop]] Bloons such as [[Target Practice Blimp]] or [[Sentinel Bloon]] may prevent them from destroying a Precursor Bloon. | ||
*If the opponent only relies on | *Any board clear does enough damage to pop a Precursor Bloon in one shot. An exception is if it's Armored, which is resistant to [[Spike Storm!]] | ||
*Any board clear | *In aggro, if you have both [[Blooming Bloon (BCS)|Blooming Bloon]] and Precursor in your hand, sending the Blooming Bloon first is recommended, as the opponent may be hiding cheap Monkeys. | ||
<!-- | *The Ceramic that spawns effectively has 3 delay relative to the opponent. More importantly, a 2-delay Monkey such as [[Alchemist Monkey (BCS)|Alchemist Monkey]] can attack it up to two times before it leaks. | ||
*Precursor Bloon is very reliant on being drawn early. Even in Aggro decks it's unreliable to make an impact on the game due to needing an extremely early draw to get value, making it a below average card in general. If you can manage to leak it, Precursor Bloon functions as a cheaper, less effective version of [[Blooming Bloon (BCS)|Blooming Bloon]]. | |||
*On Game Night, every single Monkey is able to one-shot Precursor Bloon with their base ATK.<!--note: ricochet does 10 back hit damage but obv it's unaffordable--> | |||

During the Version 5.2 playtest, Ninja Kiwi proposed a nerf to Precursor Bloon on Version 5.2 by lowering charges from 2 to 1, which was added to the update unchanged. | |||

*Precursor Bloon is the first Bloon, and currently the only one, that can summon a Bloon that's not in its own class; the Ceramic Bloon is an Advanced Bloon.<!--the main nesteds spawn basics, strikerstun is a power, blooming also basics--> | |||
