Striker's Adventure: Difference between revisions

'''Striker's Adventure''' is an [[Adventure (BCS)|Adventure]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|4.0}}. It consists of a single campaign, '''Striker's Battleground''', a roguelike mode where the player plays through a series of randomized matches while collecting [[card]]s to build their [[deck]] between matches and items and potions to apply modifiers. This campaign is available to all players, but most features and rewards are only accessible to players who purchase the Striker Adventure, Striker Mega Bundle, or Lead Storm Mega Bundle from the [[store (BCS)|store]].

The player begins a run by choosing a starter deck <!--and opening one blue Supply Crate (this appears to not be functional as of 5.1)--> and three regular Supply Crates. Each run has twelve stages, each with a random opponent, [[map (BCS)|map]], and modifier. Beating the opponent of the stage earns rewards and progresses the player to the next stage, while losing to the opponent causes the player to lose one {{icon|BCS AdventureLives.png}} life. The player has three lives and loses the run if they run out, though some opponents reward a {{icon|BCS AdventureLivesRegen.png}} item when defeated that restores one life. The player wins by completing all twelve stages.

All Heroes have one deck unlocked by default and two additional decks unlocked by accomplishing certain tasks within this Adventure. If the player has not purchased Striker's Adventure, they can only use Unpredictable Arrows. Otherwise, the player can use any Hero, even ones they do not own.

|Affects Powers that cost [[Bloontonium]]. Only discounts one use of cards with multiple charges. Cannot reduce costs below 0. If the discounted card is a power, the player will be able to play a second discounted card that turn. The second discount does not apply to cards drawn after the first discounted power is used. Does not reduce the Bloontonium gained from playing Bloons.

{{Strategy needed}}

Striker's Adventure involves some degree of luck and sufficient knowledge of all of the cards. Throughout the Adventure, choose a balanced amount of Bloons, Monkeys, and Powers, as the randomness of new cards may not often suit a pure deck archetype, and try to pick cards that will help in the long-term, such as group-popping Monkeys, cheap but efficient Bloons, and defensive Powers. Most Ultra Rares, especially [[The Eternal]], [[ARBITR]], and [[Total Transformation Monkey]] are impactful throughout the run, but not always better than less rare cards. Depending on the Hero picked and its starting party, adapt the strategy to suit the Hero better. Additionally, certain items are very impactful, especially Sharpening Stone (increased Attack Power of Primaries) and Creepy Idol (reduced enemy aggro).
