The Eternal

Line 28:

*The Eternal is a scaling Bloon that becomes more valuable the longer the game goes, provided the player has ample space in their hand. It can be used to assist [[Boss Battle (BCS)|Boss Battle]]s, but should not be relied on as the main damage. With its infinite card generation, this card can offer a constant source of Bloontonium, albeit very slowly.

*By popping the Eternal, it gets stronger. Delaying the popping of The Eternal prevents it from scaling too quickly, but letting it leak will have it scale more quickly.

**The optimal way to limit its Health scaling is popping it on the second turn. Having anything that deals the final pop during the opponent's turn (e.g. [[Defender]]s, and lingering effects like [[On Fire]] and [[Acid Pool (BCS)|Acid Pool]]) can delay it further.

**The optimal way to limit its Health scaling is popping it on the second turn. Having anything that deals the final pop during the opponent's turn (e.g. [[Defender]]s, and lingering effects like [[On Fire (BCS)|On Fire]] and [[Acid Pool (BCS)|Acid Pool]]) can delay it further.

**If available, [[Slowing Bloon]], [[Glue Storm (BCS)|Glue Storm]], [[Powerful Slowing Totem]], [[Bloon Impact (BCS)|Bloon Impact]] and [[Red Bloon Apopalypse]] can slow down the opponent from sending more Eternals.

*Self-destruction cards can build up the Eternal's Health quicker at the will of the player, but are generally less useful due to the less health gained. The most popular self-destruction card for this purpose is [[Bloon Melter]].
