'''Pre-emptive Strike''' is an [[Power (BCS)|Exotic Power]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|4.0}}. It destroys the next [[Bloon (BCS)|Bloon]] the opponent ~~plays~~ (not the [[Storm (BCS)|Storm]]). ~~If the~~ player ~~plays additional~~ copies of this card before the first usage triggers, it still triggers ~~only~~ once.

'''Pre-emptive Strike''' is an [[Power (BCS)|Exotic Power]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|4.0}}. It destroys the next [[Bloon (BCS)|Bloon]] played by the opponent (not the [[Storm (BCS)|Storm]]). The player can play multiple copies of this card before the first usage triggers, but it still only triggers once (wasting the other uses).

==Tips==

*~~Pre-emptive Strike discourages opponents~~ from sending ~~strong bloons. If possible, send a~~ weak ~~bloon~~ to ~~ensure the~~ card is ~~wasted, or a card with a powerful On Destroyed effect, such as~~ [[The Eternal]] or [[~~Volatile Bloon~~]].

*Against aggro players, this card is best saved until after they have played all their weakest cards first, to improve the odds that it destroys a more valuable target or deters them from sending more Bloons until they draw another weak Bloon to trigger it.

*This card is beneficial to opponents running [[The Eternal]], who can destroy it instantly for free. Against non-aggro decks, it's worth waiting a few turns to see if the opponent has [[The Eternal]] before using it.
