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.

The card artwork depicts the ARBITR flying above a mountain range, blocking the path of three [[Pink Bloon (BCS)|Pink Bloon]]s.

==Tips==

*If the ~~opponent is about to win next turn,~~ ARBITR ~~can prevent it, assuming the opponent lacks burst damage or removals against the ARBITR. Use it~~ to temporarily stop the opponent's board, gain turns to defend, and send your own counterrushes if possible.

*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 do not run other Bloons to serve as additional targets.

**Don't get complacent with the ARBITR; the opponent may still try to pop or remove it. ~~For instance,~~ [[~~Sticky Bomb (BCS)|Sticky Bomb~~]] is a ~~cheap counter, and~~ [[Robo Monkey (BCS)|Robo Monkey]] with ~~damage buffs can~~ pop it in ~~one~~ turn~~. [[Long Range Rang]] can chip its HP gradually but consistently~~.

*Don't get complacent with the ARBITR; the opponent may still try to pop or remove it.

**Some decks, including aggro decks, may add ARBITR as an anti-aggro Bloon. Have some Monkeys in a deck to avoid losing all aggression.

**[[Return to Sender]] is a common removal against this.

**~~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~~.

**[[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 has health buffs.

*Bloon removers versus ARBITR include [[Return to Sender]], [[Bloon Redirect]] (150 HP 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.

*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.

*HP 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 a Bloon removal.

*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.

*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.

**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.
