'''Extractor Bloon''' is a [[Bloon (BCS)|Basic Bloon]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|3.0}}. It starts with 50 [[Shield (BCS)|Shield]] and gains 10 health each time a Bloon on the opponent's side takes damage. It does not trigger if a Bloon with [[Armor]] takes zero damage from a hit. Self-inflicted bloon damage from the opponent (e.g. [[Damaged MOAB]], [[Quincy (BCS)|Quincy]] using Arrow Shot on his own bloons) also count for health boosting. | |||
The card artwork depicts an Extractor Bloon absorbing energy from a popped Red Bloon through its vents. In the background are a group of bats and a cave of blue crystals.<!--probably not btm; it's not blue--> | |||

Due to its low initial health and difficult scaling method, it is often recommended to use [[Damaged MOAB]] in decks over it instead. | ||

During the Version 5.2 playtest, Ninja Kiwi proposed a buff to Extractor Bloon by adding 50 Shield, which was left unchanged for the update. | |||
Version 6.4 reduced the Extractor Bloon's delay so it can be more consistent in general, as it was hard to scale in all situations, and only stood out when it was properly scaled, resulting in an overall buff to the Bloon in most situations.<ref name="odysseyTOS-6.4">{{cite|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5RCsiqq--s|title=6.4 Tester Commentary - Bloons Card Storm|publisher=YouTube|author=OdysseyTOS}}</ref> While its fundamental mechanics are hard to balance, these changes let it proc the effect more often.<ref name="odysseyTOS-6.4" /> | |||
