While in play, it prevents the opponent's [[Bloon (BCS)|Bloon]]s from attacking at the end of the opponent's [[turn]] when they have zero Delay, and Bloons at zero Delay stay at zero Delay.

It is [[immobile]], and while in play, it causes the opponent's [[Bloon (BCS)|Bloon]]s at zero delay to remain at zero delay at the end of their [[turn]] instead of attacking the player. Affected Bloons have a red hand sign icon on top of them.


As this Bloon has infinite delay, it cannot be affected by delay modifiers (e.g. [[Quick Ready]], [[Slowing Bloon]]), but can still be targeted by delay modifiers, and always stays towards the back of the queue.
The card artwork depicts the ARBITR flying above a mountain range, blocking the path of three [[Pink Bloon (BCS)|Pink Bloon]]s.

*If the opponent is about to win next turn, ARBITR can prevent it, assuming the opponent lacks burst damage or removals against the ARBITR. It can be used for anti-aggro.
*Use the ARBITR to temporarily stop the opponent's board, gain turns to defend, and send your own counterrushes if possible. Control decks don't run this card due to its inability to stick on the field for long periods of time, since they often run very few Bloons and cannot afford to use them to distract the opponent.
**Don't get complacent with the ARBITR; the opponent may still try to pop it. For instance, [[Robo Monkey (BCS)|Robo Monkey]] with at least one damage buff can one-shot an unbuffed ARBITR,<!--40atk*2attack*3shots=240d, but 250hp bloon--> and [[Sticky Bomb (BCS)|Sticky Bomb]] is a cheap counter.
*Don't get complacent with the ARBITR; the opponent may still try to pop or remove it.
**In a pinch versus the [[Storm (BCS)|Storm]], you can use ARBITR just before the round that many [[Pink Bloon (BCS)|Pink Bloon]]s would spawn.
**[[Return to Sender]] is a common removal against this.
*[[Improved Fortification]] and [[Lead Casing]] allows the ARBITR to withstand more damage, but watch out for a Bloon removal.
**[[Robo Monkey (BCS)|Robo Monkey]] with at least +25 ATK with all shots is enough to pop it in a single turn, unless the ARBITR is buffed.
*Bloon removers versus ARBITR include [[Return to Sender]], [[Bloon Redirect]], [[Gwendolin (BCS)|Gwendolin]]'s [[Extreme Heat]], and [[Bloon Master Alchemist (BCS)|Bloon Master Alchemist]] (though Monkey-specific Bloon removers can be countered by having [[Target Practice Blimp]]). [[MOAB Eliminator (BCS)|MOAB Eliminator]] can also work in an emergency.
*Some decks, including aggro decks, may add ARBITR as an anti-aggro Bloon. Have some Monkeys in a deck to avoid losing all aggression.
**[[Ezili (BCS)|Ezili]]'s Hex ability is an easy way against an ARBITR, removing it outright.
*Bloon removers versus ARBITR include Return to Sender, [[Bloon Redirect]] (150 Health or less), [[Gwendolin (BCS)|Gwendolin]]'s [[Extreme Heat]], and [[Bloon Master Alchemist (BCS)|Bloon Master Alchemist]]. [[MOAB Eliminator (BCS)|MOAB Eliminator]] can also work in an emergency, but ensure [[Must Pop]] Bloons are out of the way first.
**[[Dreadbloon (BCS)|Dreadbloon]] has [[Wrath of Dread]] to remove ARBITR.
**[[Dreadbloon (BCS)|Dreadbloon]] has [[Wrath of Dread]] to remove ARBITR.
*ARBITR can be added in a deck as a bait to force the opponent to use up their board clears (especially [[Super Monkey Storm (BCS)|Super Monkey Storm]]) and Bloon removers.
*Health buffs (e.g. [[Improved Fortification]] and [[Booster Bloon]]) and [[Armor]] buffs (e.g. [[Lead Casing]]) allow the ARBITR to withstand more damage, but watch out for Bloon removal.
**Adding [[Target Practice Blimp]] and multiple standard Large Bloons (e.g. [[BFB (BCS)|BFB]]s) can force the opponent to mutually exclusively focus on getting rid of either or the ARBITR.
*Not having a board clear may cause certain Bloons with On Turn End/Start effects (e.g. [[Steady Growth Bloon]], [[Lead Coating Bloon]]) to actually benefit from the opposing ARBITR. This is rare in a PvP match and more often occurs when playing against Dreadbloon or an [[Adventure (BCS)|Adventure]].
*Not having a board clear may cause certain Bloons with On Turn End/Start effects (e.g. [[Steady Growth Bloon]], [[Lead Coating Bloon]]) to actually benefit from the opposing ARBITR.
