Lead Bloon with 10 Armor

Armor (referred to as Armored in some card text) is a game mechanic in Bloons Card Storm that applies to Bloons and Boss Bloons. A Bloon with Armor takes less damage from all sources by the amount of Armor it has. If a source of damage is less than or equal to a Bloon's Armor, that Bloon takes no damage. Shields are not affected by Armor.

Some Bloons have Armor by default. Certain cards can apply Armor to other Bloons. The amount of Armor on a Bloon is indicated by a white number on an icon of a metallic plate.

Additionally, none of the Monkey Heroes are able to gain Armor, but Dreadbloon is the only Bloon Hero capable of gaining Armor.

Armor Piercing (formatted as Armor-Piercing in some card text) is a property of certain Monkeys that allows them to strip all Armor from a Bloon or Boss Bloon before applying damage. Of the Monkeys that have Armor Piercing, some have additional effects associated with Armor Piercing, such as the Lead to Gold Monkey.
