Long Range Rang

==Tips==

*Long Range Rang ~~relies on excess Gold and~~ is ~~subpar without it~~, ~~dealing only 70 damage for 3 Gold. Its~~ only strength compared to any other card is ~~its~~ infinite card generation. ~~Use it sparingly after building~~ a ~~stable Monkey defense~~, and ~~don't spend too much or else it's harder~~ to ~~afford expensive cards and combinations~~.

*Long Range Rang's damage is inefficient for the cost, and its only strength compared to any other Power card is having infinite card generation. However, if the opponent cannot make a sufficiently big or fast push, the player will always have a way to slowly chip health of enemy Bloons and use excess Gold during max Eco to keep spending for guaranteed damage.

**Most cards for 3 Gold do more burst damage (e.g. [[Sniper Monkey (BCS)|Sniper Monkey]] does 90 damage), long-term damage (e.g. three [[Barrel of Monkeys]] does 60 damage per turn), or protection (e.g. [[Wall Of Trees (BCS)|Wall Of Trees]] protects 120 health).

**Against opponents who can properly manage resources, Long Range Rang is not a strong card. Long Range Rang has many weaknesses; it falls flat to aggro, can lose tempo due to the constant investment, and it encourages a full hand, making the user vulnerable to opposing tempo and control decks.

*Long Range Rang has many weaknesses; it falls flat to aggro, can lose tempo due to the constant investment, and it encourages a full hand, making the user vulnerable to opposing tempo and control decks. Competent players who can properly manage resources will be able to outpace the slow damage and high spending requirements of this card. Additionally, it is helpless against instantaneous damage.

**Against the early-game and mid-game, Long Range Rang cannot keep ever up with more than 3 high-health Bloons at a time without additional support such as [[Super Monkey Storm (BCS)|Super Monkey Storm]] or placed Monkeys.

**During the late-game, Long Range Rang users may continuously use it on [[Storm (BCS)|Storm]] Bloons, such as the [[Double Ceramic Bloon]]s. If your deck focuses on late-game, add cards that bypass it with cards such as [[Eerie Lifeforce]] and [[Quick Ready]].

*Avoid overspending on Long Range Rangs, or else it will become difficult to build long-term resources. Use it sparingly after building a stable Monkey defense.

*As a Power, it is not affected by Bloons with [[Must Pop]] (especially [[Target Practice Blimp]]) or anything that affects only Monkeys (e.g. [[Stun Gas Bloon]], [[Weakening Gas Bloon]], [[Toxic Bloon]]).

*To keep it, ensure it never pops a Bloon; the reverse is true.

Line 37:

*Equipping multiple Long Range Rangs are usually not necessary, as this card can return infinitely under the right conditions. That is, unless Long Range Rang serves as a wincon, such as Deck Manipulation [[Dreadbloon (BCS)|Dreadbloon]].

*Assuming max Gold, 6 Long Range Rangs deal up to 420 damage in a single turn.

*Assuming max Eco, 3 Long Range Rangs can be afforded in a single turn, which deal up to 210 damage per turn. Every 3rd turn would allow an extra Long Range Rang, depending on Gold left over.

*Cycling through Long Range Rang usages is time-consuming, about 5 seconds per use, which includes the time needed to grab the card and pick a target.

*Although it can target your own Bloons, there's little practical reason to do that.
