*With enough Bloons in the graveyard, Eerie Lifeforce on a friendly Bloon can act as an alternative to [[Improved Fortification]] for less cost. Using it on the opponent's Bloons can be done, but the Health gain means that doing so should be only used early or as a last resort to stall the Bloon before a card such as [[Return to Sender]]. | *With enough Bloons in the graveyard, Eerie Lifeforce on a friendly Bloon can act as an alternative to [[Improved Fortification]] for less cost.

Eerie Lifeforce had multiple aspects addressed during its testing in Version 6.2 playtests. The main issue was that stun on friendly Bloons lasted effectively two turns, so it would take forever to the Bloon to attack.

Version 6.4 increased Eerie Lifeforce's Gold cost now that it become one of the best late-game win conditions for control decks while still being a great option in all competitive matches against aggro.<ref name="odysseyTOS-6.4">{{cite|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5RCsiqq--s|title=6.4 Tester Commentary - Bloons Card Storm|publisher=YouTube|author=OdysseyTOS}}</ref> The cost nerf mainly aims to limit its viability as an anti-aggro tool,<ref name="odysseyTOS-6.4" /> but has also made it harder to combine as OTK (despite OdysseyTOS not mentioning this explicitly). | |||
