'''Salvation''' is an [[Power (BCS)|Exotic Power]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|5.0}}. It returns a friendly Monkey to the player's hand, with equivalent mechanics to [[Return to Sender]],<!--I don't have to make a whole essay again on this, bear with me--> gives [[Adora, High Priestess (BCS)|Adora]] 5 [[Bloontonium]], then consumes the Bloontonium to trigger Orbs of Light. If Adora cannot use Orbs of Light (i.e. there are no Bloons on the opponent's track or [[Ability Ban]] is active), the ability does not activate and Adora keeps the extra Bloontonium. It can raise Adora's Bloontonium above her maximum Bloontonium. It can only be added to Adora decks. | '''Salvation''' is an [[Power (BCS)|Exotic Power]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|5.0}}.

Outside of [[Adventure (BCS)|Adventure]]s and [[Boss Battle (BCS)|Boss Battle]]s, this card and [[Return to Sender]] are the only way for most cards that cannot normally be added to a deck (e.g. [[Baby Monkey]]) to be in a player's hand. | |||

*For 1 less Gold than Return to Sender, Salvation allows players to reuse friendly Monkeys, mainly the re-activation of On Play effects of Monkeys or recycling cards that would be automatically removed. | *For 1 less Gold than Return to Sender, Salvation allows players to reuse friendly Monkeys, mainly the re-activation of On Play effects of Monkeys or recycling cards that would be automatically removed. | ||

*If played when no enemy Bloons are on the field, [[Adora, High Priestess (BCS)|Adora]] instead of activating Orbs Of Light just gains 5 Bloontonium. The 5 Bloontonium gain can be used to afford Ultimate Sacrifice sooner, as Salvation effectively acts as a [[Bloontonium Cache]]. This 5 Bloontonium gain can go over the maximum limit of 15 Bloontonium, allowing Adora to hold more than 3 possible uses of Sun Shield on a full bar. | |||

Salvation's cost in Version 6.4 was reduced in cost to make it more viable as a specialized bouncer (return card),<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> instead of having [[Return to Sender]] accomplish that role for not much more Gold.<ref name="odysseyTOS-6.4" /><!--see "rts" notes on video--> The tester commentary by OdysseyTOS states that the improved synergy with the newly buffed [[Thunder Druid]] will also make Salvation stand out.<ref name="odysseyTOS-6.4" /> | |||
