'''Pre-emptive Strike''' is an [[Power (BCS)|Exotic Power]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|4.0}}. It destroys the next [[Bloon (BCS)|Bloon]] played by the opponent. If the next Bloon has an On Play effect, that effect triggers before the Bloon is destroyed. It triggers from Bloons played by card effects (e.g. [[Red Bloon Storm]], [[Necromancer (BCS)|Necromancer]]'s [[Zombie Blue Bloon]]), but not by the [[Storm (BCS)|Storm]]. There is no visual indicator while the card effect is active. The player can play multiple copies of this card before the first usage triggers, but only one use triggers, wasting the other uses.

The card artwork depicts a Pre-emptive Strike [[Monkey Sub]] firing a ballistic missile at a [[Red Bloon]]. It is set at a lake with green hills during a partially cloudy day.

Line 31:

*If the Pre-emptive Strike user has many Bloons on their side, sending a [[Volatile Bloon]] will guarantee as a board clear.

**Intercepting with Volatile Bloons is more common when baiting Stage 1 [[Dreadbloon (BCS)|Dreadbloon]].

*Since there is no visual indicator for this card, the best way to ~~check~~ when the last Pre-emptive Strike was used by the opponent is to use the card history menu.

*Since there is no visual indicator for this card, the best way to verify when the last Pre-emptive Strike was used by the opponent is to use the card history menu.
