Rare Power is an Advanced Power card in Bloons Card Storm, introduced in version 2.0. It draws a random Rare-rarity card from the player's deck. If the player's hand is full and a two-charge Rare Power is used, or if no Rare cards remain in the deck, the card is consumed without triggering the effect.

The card artwork depicts a Wizard Monkey creating another card, which is glowing yellow.

Tips

This section was last updated for: version 6.1
  • For an Uncommon card, Rare Power guarantees any of the Rare rarity cards, allowing to cycle through vital Rares sooner but at the cost of Gold.
  • Important cards that warrant Rare Power in a card slot include:
    • Finishers, especially Quick Ready. Pink Bloon is also a Rare but not enough to entirely warrant equipping Rare Power, unless going for a midrange deck.
    • Bloons for pressure. MOAB is a solid example of a rushing bloon.
    • Board clears. Almost all the released ones are Rares. Thunder Druid and Super Monkey Storm are frequently used Rares for dispatching high-HP swarms. Spike Storm! and Firestorm are still good draws.
    • Miscellaneous control cards. Hero Protection is a strong candidate because of its capability to tank a dangerous bloon without life loss. Jungle's Bounty Druid's life regeneration is very strong if the opponent does not rush much during the mid-game.
    • Removal cards. A lot of popular removal cards are Rares: Return to Sender, Shrink, Expert Negotiator.
    • Combo cards. Double Trouble is a standout example for OTK decks.
  • Drawing all three Rare Powers in the early-game is bad, because these cards and the drawn Powers will easily get stuck in your hand, wasting the extra draws.
  • Like the White Bloon, if wanting to maximize card draws, make sure to have 7 or less cards in your hand before playing a Rare Power that has 2 charges.
  • Rare Power, like most drawing cards with multiple charges, encourages a full hand. Thus, it's not suitable for The Eternal decks.
