Zee Jay is ~~designed to be~~ a hero for ~~tempo strategies~~. ~~By planning each round~~ to ~~accumulate Rad Tokens steadily~~, ~~and utilize~~ abilities ~~with care~~, ~~a smart Zee Jay user will be able to overwhelm their opponent or exhaust their resources~~.

Zee Jay is a versatile hero who works well on aggro and midrange decks. He is also effective in OTK strategies that involve multiple [[Quick Ready]], [[Quincy Action Figure]] for extra cash, and [[Double Trouble]]. Due to his complete lack of direct defense, Zee Jay is not suitable for control decks. Most of his power derives from a combination of his abilities, and maximizing Rad Tokens if possible.

~~He works well with aggro~~ and ~~midrange decks. Due to his complete lack of direct defense, Zee Jay is not suitable~~ for ~~control decks. Instead, most of his power will come from taking advantage of his Rad Tokens~~ to ~~maximize his~~ [[~~Rad~~ Bloon]]s. ~~He is also effective in OTK strategies~~ that ~~involve~~ multiple [[~~Quick Ready~~]], [[~~Quincy Action Figure~~]] ~~for extra cash~~, and [[~~Double Trouble~~]].

The bonus HP from Passive Enhancements improves potential chip damage, and for certain Bloons he can make Bloons harder to pop (especially [[Steady Growth Bloon]] and [[Blooming Bloon (BCS)|Blooming Bloon]]). Use Rad Enhancements to boost Monkeys, preferably those that have multiple attacks (e.g. [[Robo Monkey (BCS)|Robo Monkey]], [[Frag Bomb Shooter]]), and activate [[Rad Bloon]] if the opponent is unable to afford enough to handle your offense.

==Tips==

Most of Zee Jay's exclusive cards are beneficial for each of his loadouts. For aggro decks, [[Zany Juice]] is recommended. [[Zee Jay Special]] is helpful in midrange and combo decks, and [[Fast and Loose]] is optional for card draw and potential Rad Token gains.

*Unlike most Heroes, Zee Jay is not very dependent on Bloontonium, unless wanting to use Rad Bloon very often.

===Tips===

*Unlike most Heroes, Zee Jay is not very dependent on Bloontonium, unless wanting to use Rad Bloon very often, or saving up for Rad Enhancements.

*Unlike most aggro strategies, Zee Jay aggro works best with a mix of health-boosters, non-swarm bloons, strong individual bloons, and Monkeys that synergize well with Rad Enhancements. For powers, [[Quick Ready]] is recommended for a combo with [[Double Yellow Bloon]].

**Certain Bloons are hard to pop if buffed by Passive Enhancements early on. For instance, five [[Barrel of Monkeys]] outside of Game Night cannot pop a whole [[Steady Growth Bloon]] or [[Blooming Bloon (BCS)|Blooming Bloon]].

**[[Booster Bloon]] not only acts like a Power, it's a Bloon, so it also will synergize with Zee Jay's passive.

**Double Bloons are good pick for Zee Jay's aggro decks, because of his Passive Enhancements' boosting HP.

*For Rad OTK decks, send non-Large Bloons steadily to build tokens, and before the OTK, set up a [[Blimp Construction Hangar]] or two, store high Gold, and have [[Quick Ready]]s in your hand.

*If he plays a [[Pink Bloon (BCS)|Pink Bloon]] as the first bloon, it will guarantee +20 (120 face value without Defenders, [[Adora (BCS)|Adora]]'s passive, or [[Hero Protection]]), assuming no [[Ability Ban]]. Hence, Pink Bloons as finishers are effective in Zee Jay decks.

*Unlike most aggro strategies, Zee Jay aggro works best in a pure bloon deck, not with bloon-specific combos like [[Bolstered Bloon]] or [[Bloon Embiggen]]. Swarm and normal bloons should still be part of the deck, plus Pinks as finishers. For powers, [[Bloontonium Cache]] provides a vital headstart at making Rad Bloons.

**[[Booster Bloon]] not only acts like a Power, it's a Bloon, so it also will synergize with Zee Jay's passive.

**Unlike most Heroes, Double Bloons such as [[Double Red Bloon]]s and [[Double Blue Bloon]]s are good pick for Zee Jay's aggro decks.
