- The Strengthenator is a cheaper and stronger Aura of Strength Bloon that can buff many Swarm Bloons and cheap Double Attack Bloons, but is reliant on drawing early in an aggro deck to succeed. Once established with Bloons on the field, it is very difficult to stop without losing value.
- Strengthenator works best with Bloons that spawn other Bloons after being destroyed or leaked, like Precursor Bloon or Blooming Bloon, as the Strengthenator will have more targets to buff the following turns. Strengthenator can also make Double Attack Bloons harder to pop and deal more damage to the opposing hero.
- Against it, Bloon Redirect is essential to stopping it before it buffs a rush, as otherwise Monkeys have to make a choice to either target the Strengthenator to prevent it from buffing many Bloons, or target the Bloons placed to prevent value from being extracted out of the Strengthenator.
- On Dark Castle, Strengthenator must be damaged first before using Bloon Redirect, as its HP on this map is just over the threshold to steal it.
Update history
Immobile property added- Delay increased ― 7 → ∞
- No longer increases its own delay at the start of each turn
Description changed ― "On Turn Start: Increase delay by 1. Other friendly Bloons gain 20 Health" → "On Turn Start: Other friendly Bloons gain 20 Health"
- Now animates when receiving a buff
- On Turn Start effect now adds an animation when buffing Bloons (undocumented)
Health reduced ― 150 → 120
Development
During Version 6.2 playtesting, community playtesters argued that Strengthenator was a powerful anti-aggro card that was also very luck-dependent depending on how early it's drawn, particularly with the Storm, but less so in competitive gameplay due to anti-aggro control cards like Super Monkey that have strong burst damage.[1] The Health of the Strengthenator was reduced on the basis that Strengthenator becomes easier to burst down while still having above average Health for the cost.[1]
