'''Triple Threat Bloon''' is a [[Bloon (BCS)|Basic Bloon]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|4.0}}. It starts with 60 [[Shield (BCS)|Shield]] and gains 30 Shield each time the player plays a [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]] or [[Power (BCS)|Power]] card after playing it. It [[Double Attack#Triple Attack|attacks three times]] if it hits the opposing [[Hero (BCS)|Hero]].

The card artwork depicts a Triple Threat Bloon in a boxing ring, brightened by a stage light above, and various Bloons in the crowd. In-game, Triple Threat Bloon is three small [[Green Bloon (BCS)|Green Bloon]]s, while in the card artwork these three Bloon scratched and their skins are desaturated green.

==Tips==

*Triple Threat Bloon ~~should not be ignored~~, as it ~~can do~~ 240 damage ~~to your Hero with its base stats~~, and ~~has a~~ dense shield ~~and 2 delay~~.

*Triple Threat Bloon synergizes extremely well with Health boosters such as [[Fortify]] and [[Zany Juice]]. With its base stats, it does 240 damage, and the dense shield makes it much harder to pop, especially if taking advantage of its extra shield per friendly Monkey or Power.

*~~This card pairs well~~ with cheap Monkeys and Powers the player can spam to maximize its Shield (notably [[Barrel of Monkeys]]), as ~~well as~~ [[~~Target Practice Blimp~~]] ~~to force~~ the opponent's ~~Monkeys~~ to ~~avoid damaging it~~.

*In Aggro, Triple Threat Bloon can be combined with cheap Monkeys and Powers the player can spam to maximize its Shield (notably [[Barrel of Monkeys]]) to force out a response and make it tough to pop. Beware when using it in aggro though, as drawing too little Monkeys or Powers can make it very weak for its cost.

*~~Health boosters such as~~ [[~~Improved Fortification~~]], [[~~Fortify~~]], [[~~Booster Bloon~~]], and [[Zany Juice]] ~~are helpful~~ to ~~improve~~ this Bloon's ~~damage~~.

*OTK decks can use Triple Threat for OTK if health boosts are added in advance or during the combo. Pairing Triple Threat Bloon with two [[Quick Ready]] costs 18 Gold. Ensure the opponent's health is low enough, has no 0-delay stoppers (e.g. [[Druid of Peace]], [[ARBITR]]), and keep in mind that Triple Threat Bloon’s shield can soak up a [[Defender]] or a non-maxed [[Adora, High Priestess (BCS)|Sun Shield]], saving you a use of a card like [[Return to Sender]] or [[Ability Ban]].

**Two [[Fortify|Fortifies]] can kill when used on Triple Threat Bloon, doing 540 damage. Since Fortify is a common Power, there is no tutor for it, which makes using [[Pick]] cards essential.

**[[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]] is a good choice for Triple Threat Bloon, having [[Zany Juice]] and his own passive to surpass the default health of the opponent minus shields. Two [[Zany Juice|Zany Juices]] and his passive makes the Triple Threat Bloon kill, dealing 510 damage.

**[[Quincy (BCS)|Quincy]] can work in Triple Threat OTK deck, as [[Archer's Instinct]] is the easiest way to cycle through a deck for [[Fortify]].

*Since this Bloon has [[Triple Attack]], it can kill weakened opponents with [[Hero Protection]] up as 2/3rds of the damage still will hit them.

*If the opponent tries to stack multiple [[Defender]]s, uses 0-delay stoppers, uses [[Hero Protection]] or other OTK counters, [[Quincy Action Figure]] can help afford removals in a single turn.
