'''Defense Prep Bloon''' is an [[Bloon (BCS)|Advanced Bloon]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|5.0}}. It starts with 15 Armor, and at the end of the player's turn it will reload a random friendly Monkey if they have 0 Gold. This On Turn End effect always occurs after Mortars.
'''Defense Prep Bloon''' is an [[Bloon (BCS)|Advanced Bloon]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|5.0}}. Its [[armor]] reduces damage taken by 15, and if the player has zero [[Gold (BCS)|Gold]] and any [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]]s at the end of their [[turn]], it reloads a random friendly Monkey. This On Turn End effect always triggers after Mortars, but before [[Temporary]] Monkeys disappear.
 
The card artwork depicts two shy monkeys hiding behind a Defense Prep Bloon. Surrounding them all is a lot of barbed wire at a desert.
