*Unlike the ~~more common and~~ cheaper Red Bloon Storm, Red Bloon Apopalypse is mostly meant to be used to summon Red Bloons on your opponent's side to block them from playing and prevent the [[Storm (BCS)|Storm]]'s Bloons. Friendly Red Bloons serve as a downside, however they are able to be played around.

*Red Bloon Apopalypse plays entirely differently from [[Red Bloon Storm]], ~~and should be never used~~ for swarm ~~synergy. Instead, use it to block your opponent from Bloons~~.

*Red Bloon Apopalypse plays entirely differently from [[Red Bloon Storm]]. It's a control card for blocking the opponent's Bloons, not for swarm synergies.

*Although the opponent's Reds may potentially pose a leaking threat, it takes two turns for them to leak, and your Reds can attack first. Regardless, the opponent's Reds are far less dangerous overall, compared to the opponent's own rushes.

*~~Avoiding popping~~ the Bloons spawned on the opponent's side has many practical benefits:

*Leaving the Red Bloons spawned on the opponent's side unpopped has many practical benefits:

**It prevents the opponent from playing any of their own Bloons for two turns, which gives more tempo for the user and stops aggro players (unless it's a swarm aggro deck that uses [[Bloon Embiggen]], which benefits them instead). This can be combined with [[Glue Storm (BCS)|Glue Storm]], [[Powerful Slowing Totem]], and/or [[ARBITR]] to add more turns.

**It can block the [[Storm (BCS)|Storm]] from summoning more Bloons.

**Weakening the opponent's Bloons without popping them (such as by using one Spike Storm), then allowing them to leak, is an easy way to scale [[Heart of Vengeance Druid]]s.

*To avoid killing the stall, avoid cards that automatically attack, such as Mortars and [[Blade Maelstrom (BCS)|Blade Maelstrom]], as well as [[Grand Saboteur]]. Leaving even just one space can allow the opponent to have enough leverage next turn.

*Note that a player can use certain Hero abilities (mainly [[Quincy (BCS)|Quincy]]'s Arrow Shot) or cards (e.g. [[Overload (BCS)|Overload]], [[Bloon Melter]], [[Enhanced Reflexes]]) to open up space for another Bloon. Both players are able to take advantage of this to send better bloons for extra pressure. To prevent some of these, [[Bloontonium Leak]] can be used before Red Bloon Apopalypse.

*Once the opponent's Red Bloons are destroyed, they fill the opponent's graveyard with Red Bloons, which makes [[Reinflated]] and [[The Prestige]] less likely to draw the Bloons the opponent wants (such as [[Pink Bloon (BCS)|Pink Bloon]]s and [[The Eternal]]).
