*Taunting Bloon is ~~not~~ a ~~strong~~ option, however some players may apply health-buffing sources (e.g. [[Improved Fortification]] and [[Booster Bloon]])~~, as well as healing sources once they're health-buffed,~~ to prevent the opponent from targeting other Bloons for a long time.

*Taunting Bloon is a very weak option, however some players may apply health-buffing sources (e.g. [[Improved Fortification]] and [[Booster Bloon]]) to prevent the opponent from targeting other Bloons for a long time, however doing so will give you less health than [[Target Practice Blimp]] for equal or more Gold.

**Note that health buffs can increase max health of a Bloon, ~~which is why heals can set~~ health ~~above the Bloon's health when first played~~.

**[[Return to Sender]] is a common option against that type of strategy, since a lot of Gold would've been invested in the first place; the opponent would lack aggression without it.

*Low-damage 1 reload Monkeys shouldn't have much trouble against Taunting Bloons without buffs, but this can be effective against high-damage Monkeys with longer reload, such as [[Bomb Shooter (BCS)|Bomb Shooter]].

*Low-damage 1 reload Monkeys shouldn't have much trouble against Taunting Bloons without buffs, but this can be effective against high-damage Monkeys with longer reload, such as [[Bomb Shooter (BCS)|Bomb Shooter]] if they have nothing else.

*For the cost, it's outclassed by [[Target Practice Blimp]], due to Taunting Bloon's high cost per Bloon, despite increased charges. Additionally, [[Mountain Obyn (BCS)|Mountain Obyn]]'s [[Sentinel Bloon]]s fulfill a similar role but better; they don't cost card slots, they can drain the opponent's lives quicker and easier, and can use similar synergies to keep them on the board.

*[[Spike Storm!]] is an easy way to stop a swarm of unbuffed Taunting Bloons. Likewise is [[Mountain Obyn (BCS)|Mountain Obyn]]'s Brambles.

*It is not recommended to run this card. It costs a lot of Gold for extremely low rewards, and is worse than [[Target Practice Blimp]] in practically every way.
