'''Slowing Bloon''' is an [[Bloon (BCS)|Advanced Bloon]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|2.0}}. When played, a selection menu prompts the player to reduce ~~the selected other~~ Bloon's delay by 1. It can ~~slow bloons from~~ either side, but not itself. If no Bloons ~~are~~ on ~~screen~~ other than itself, this effect does not occur.

'''Slowing Bloon''' is an [[Bloon (BCS)|Advanced Bloon]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|2.0}}. When played, a selection menu prompts the player to reduce another Bloon's delay by 1. It can target Bloons on either side, but not itself, and the player is forced to select a Bloon if possible (even if the only Bloons on the board are friendly Bloons). If there are no Bloons on the board other than itself, this effect does not occur.

==Tips==

*The Bloon itself ~~does~~ not ~~attack~~ particularly ~~fast~~. However, the slow effect ~~on a targeted Bloon can temporarily stall a bloon that may leak otherwise~~, ~~while~~ also ~~generating Bloontonium compared with~~ [[~~Return to Sender~~]]~~, and 2 charges~~.

*The Bloon itself is not particularly threatening, essentially being a [[Yellow Bloon (BCS)|Yellow Bloon]] with more delay. However, the slow effect is useful for stalling the opponent's Bloons, and unlike other stalling cards, it also generates some [[Bloontonium]].

*~~Using the Slowing~~ Bloon ~~on a friendly Bloon can~~ be used to ~~push it back along the queue if there are other bloons~~. For instance, it ~~could be used~~ to ~~let~~ [[Hero Protection]] ~~prioritize a different 0-delay bloon,~~ or prevent ~~Bloons~~ going to waste versus [[Dreadbloon (BCS)|Dreadbloon]]'s [[Immunity (card)|Immunity]].

*Like [[Booster Bloon]], this card may be used on the player's own Bloons to change their ordering. For instance, it can move stronger Bloons to the back to allow a weaker Bloon to hit [[Hero Protection]] first or prevent them from going to waste versus [[Dreadbloon (BCS)|Dreadbloon]]'s [[Immunity (card)|Immunity]].

*Computer opponents may ~~still send~~ Slowing Bloons if you have no Bloons on your side, forcing them to slow their own Bloons. Competent human opponents will never do this.

*Computer opponents may play Slowing Bloons if you have no Bloons on your side, forcing them to slow their own Bloons. Competent human opponents will never do this unless they are changing their own Bloon ordering.
