Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) I think that's all the BCS 3.0 stuff, but still need help judging the core differences between the BMC+BP type (which is what I seem to define a "long-term currency", but does not make sense really) versus in BCS where it's more of a "gameplay resource" and isn't like a long-term one or something. also where do we put overload and mass detonation which do cost bloontonium |

'''Bloontonium''' is a resource found in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', ''[[Bloons Pop!]]'', and ''[[Bloons Monkey City]]''. In ''Bloons Card Storm'', bloontonium is used for [[Hero (BCS)|Hero]] abilities, some of which activate passively, while others consume bloontonium. Bloontonium can be earned from playing bloons or from certain card effects. In ''Bloons Pop!'', bloontonium is used for creating [[Bloonstone]]s, while in ''Bloons Monkey City'', bloontonium is used for sending [[Monkey v Monkey]] attacks. | '''Bloontonium''' is a resource found in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', ''[[Bloons Pop!]]'', and ''[[Bloons Monkey City]]''. It often serves as an in-game currency, except in ''Bloons Card Storm'', instead as a gameplay resource.<!--possibly better wording needed, "long-term currency" for BMC and BP just doesn't cut it, and the BCS one is a bit dubious--> | ||

When the player plays a [[Bloon (BCS)|Bloon]] card, that player's [[Hero (BCS)|Hero]] gains Bloontonium equal to the amount of [[Gold (BCS)|gold]] spent to play the Bloon. This is affected by card effects that alter a Bloon card's Gold cost, such as the [[Discount Bloon]] | When the player plays a [[Bloon (BCS)|Bloon]] card, that player's [[Hero (BCS)|Hero]] gains Bloontonium equal to the amount of [[Gold (BCS)|gold]] spent to play the Bloon.

Unspent bloontonium carries over between turns, and maximum bloontonium capacity varies between heroes. The player cannot have more bloontonium than their hero's max amount of bloontonium no matter what. Bloontonium is not consumed if an ability cannot be used manually, but it will be consumed upon using an activated ability. | Unspent bloontonium carries over between turns, and maximum bloontonium capacity varies between heroes.

Bloontonium is a currency earned by completing levels, by clearing bloons and popping [[Bloontonium Bloon]]s in [[Golden Bloon Time]], completing certain [[Goal]]s, or from certain [[Adventure (Bloons Pop!)|Adventure]] rewards. Bloontonium's sole purpose is filling up Bloontonium canisters, which upon reaching 500 bloontonium, will take 4 hours before producing a random amount of Bloonstones. One canister is unlocked immediately, another requires 400 [[Monkey Money]], and the final canister requires a purchase with real money. | Bloontonium is a currency earned by completing levels, by clearing bloons and popping [[Bloontonium Bloon]]s in [[Golden Bloon Time]], completing certain [[Goal]]s, or from certain [[Adventure (Bloons Pop!)|Adventure]] rewards.

Bloontonium is a resource required for sending attacks in Monkey vs Monkey, and like other resources can be refilled with Bloonstones.
