*Compared to [[Bloon Embiggen]]'s health boost, Pack Protection is one Gold cheaper, but gives 40 shield instead of 25 HP. It's less useful for rushes, but still good for general defense for your bloons, even without the resulting damage you'd get from Bloon Embiggen. | *Compared to [[Bloon Embiggen]]'s health boost, Pack Protection is one Gold cheaper, but gives 40 shield instead of 25 HP.

*Pack Protection may be helpful later in early rounds when sending large amounts of bloons, so it's harder to break rushes, especially if the opponent cannot afford a [[Thunder Druid]] or [[Super Monkey Storm (BCS)|Super Monkey Storm]] on the turn after yours. | *Pack Protection may be helpful later in early rounds when sending large amounts of bloons, so it's harder to break rushes, especially if the opponent cannot afford a [[Thunder Druid]] or [[Super Monkey Storm (BCS)|Super Monkey Storm]] on the turn after yours. | ||
**Pack Protection after bloons become On Fire also prevents this effect from damaging any friendly bloon, as it only damages the shield. Likewise applies to Acid Pools. | **Pack Protection after bloons become On Fire also prevents this effect from damaging any friendly bloon, as it only damages the shield.

Version 6.4's buff for Pack Protection makes it more viable as an alternative to cards that directly improve health.<ref name="odysseyTOS-6.4">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5RCsiqq--s</ref> While not explicitly in OdysseyTOS's tester commentary, human players running Amelia would prefer adding most of the universal cards, such as [[Bloon Embiggen]], over Pack Protection, which only indirectly improves their damage to the Hero by cushioning against the opponent's attacks. | |||
