Tips
This section was last updated for: version 5.2
- At 3 Gold, a Volatile Bloon does more potential damage than any other combination of that cost, with exception of a fully grown Steady Growth Bloon or a Blooming Bloon with its offspring. However, it has only one charge.
- In aggro, Volatile Bloon is really strong if its first draw occurs exactly between Rounds 1-2. Unless careful to avoid this Bloon getting popped, any competent anti-aggro strategy would neutralise an aggro player's bloon spam if this bloon is played alongside.
- Bringing Return to Sender can help in later early-game stages, by baiting the opponent to use all shots on Volatile Bloon in attempt to trigger the On Popped effect, and then removing it on the next turn.
- Volatile Bloon in Zee Jay aggro is beneficial; combined with his health buffs, not even four Dart Monkey Twins can fully pop that bloon alone.
- Volatile Bloons can be used defensively. One can unleash instant global damage on demand using Bloon Melter, or Gwendolin's Fireball or It's All On Fire Now followed by Extreme Heat. If the opponent uses Pre-emptive Strike, intercepting with Volatile Bloon guarantees the effect.
- If using a Volatile Bloon, avoid playing Bloons if it is at risk of being popped, otherwise the bloons on the player's side will also take damage.
- Versus Dreadbloon, Stage 3 Dreadbloon (i.e. "Board Destruction") in particular has a tendency to destroy the Volatile Bloon, thus triggering it as another board clear. As Dreadbloon's playstyle de-incentivizes Bloon-focused decks (except The Eternal), Volatile Bloon is suitable for casual decks, with its lower rarity being easier to unlock for newer players than most board clears.
