~~The~~ '''Prince of Darkness''' is a [[Magic]] [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]''. Instead of attacking, it summons a [[Zombie MOAB]] when placed and restores up to 50 health for all [[Bloon (BCS)|Bloon]]s on the player's side at the start of each turn. Only one Prince of Darkness can be in the ~~[[Card|~~Collection]].

'''Prince of Darkness''' is a [[Magic]] [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]''. Instead of attacking, it summons a [[Zombie MOAB]] when placed (without generating [[Bloontonium]]) and restores up to 50 health for all [[Bloon (BCS)|Bloon]]s on the player's side at the start of each turn. Only one Prince of Darkness can be in the Collection.

The card artwork depicts Prince of Darkness commanding an army of Undead Bloons.

==Tips==

*~~Because~~ Prince of Darkness ~~heals all~~ Bloons ~~rather than a single~~ Bloon, it ~~is best used for supporting~~ a large rush of high-health ~~bloons~~, ~~namely~~ [[ZOMG (BCS)|~~ZOMGs~~]]~~, so that~~ the opponent ~~cannot easily single~~ out ~~potential targets for its healing~~.

*Prince of Darkness is a powerful support for Tempo decks that rely on high health, slow Bloons to overwhelm the opponent. Combining Prince of Darkness with Bloons such as [[BFB (BCS)|BFB]], [[Golden Blimp]], [[Soulstealer Bloon]], or [[Lead Zeppelin]] can create powerful pushes that are difficult to deal with via damage.

**Unlike [[Healing Bloon]], Prince of Darkness ~~heals continuously every start of turn~~, ~~rather than just once~~ on ~~play, and is a Monkey, however~~ the ~~Healing Bloon also heals the same amount~~.

*Prince of Darkness's continuous healing allows it to support a large rush of slow-moving high-health Bloons, limiting the opponent from spreading their damage across the Bloons. Having very high-health Bloons (e.g. [[ZOMG (BCS)|ZOMG]]) can further increase the opponent's difficulty of singling out the Bloons.

**Like [[~~Necromancer (BCS)|Necromancer~~]] ~~and Healing Bloon~~, Prince of Darkness can be used ~~to heal~~ [[~~Damaged MOAB~~]]s.

*Compared to [[Healing Bloon]], Prince of Darkness needs more turns for the initial investment, and cannot heal on the current turn. Both cards are commonly seen in Tempo decks.

*Monkey removals such as [[Bed Time]] and [[Shrink]] ~~are effective at stopping~~ Prince of Darkness~~'s constant healing~~.

*Prince of Darkness synergizes with [[Soulstealer Bloon]] well, as the damage to your own Bloons can be negated by Prince of Darkness next turn.

*The [[Zombie MOAB]] that this creates can be used as a shield for [[Camo]] Bloons due to its high health + the healing it receives from Prince of Darkness.

*As a Monkey, it's vulnerable to Monkey removals such as [[Bed Time]] and [[Shrink]], as well as [[Ghost Monkey]] which removes it (because it has no ammo stat).

*[[Damaged MOAB]]s can benefit from Prince of Darkness by raising their Health above their starting amount (after damage), however the Damaged MOAB is not often used outside of fast-paced Tempo, and the initial investment for Prince of Darkness may limit sending these Bloons early enough to gain significant value.
