Bloons Card Storm glossary: Difference between revisions

:The process of immediately and constantly applying pressure to an opponent with Bloons before their defense is established. Aggro usually sets out to kill the opponent before they can establish control of the board, and tends to use low-delay Bloons like [[Yellow Bloon (BCS)|Yellow Bloon]] to put on immediate pressure.

:A play that forces or goads the opponent to respond in a specific way, such as playing a weaker Bloon to get the opponent to use all their ammo on it, then playing stronger Bloons on the next turn to make it harder for the opponent to defend. This term does not describe an archetype, but can describe the purpose of specific Bloons in decks (Such as a tempo deck running [[Swarm Yellow Bloon]] to bait [[Super Monkey Storm (BCS)|Super Monkey Storm]].)

:Cards which are held in hand for an extended period of time without a way or reason to use them, thus taking up space in a player's hand. Bricks are often categorized for having either very conditional ways to play them that are infrequent, costing loads of money, or having high charges combined with high prices.

:A playstyle that focuses on chipping the opponent's health with cards that are difficult to prevent damage from, like [[Bloon Strike]] and [[Pink Bloon (BCS)|Pink Bloon]]. Burn decks often can be similar to Aggro decks, but are differentiated due to their higher focus on cards with instant damage.

:The process of eliminating as many opposing threats as efficiently as possible to ensure they are unable to react to threats in later rounds, or run out of cards in their deck. Control decks often have many Monkeys and Powers to ensure their opponents cannot kill them before or while in the lategame.

:Short for "one-turn kill", meaning reducing the opponent's health from full to 0 in one turn. OTK decks commonly run Bloons such as [[Double Yellow Bloon]] with cards like [[Quincy Action Figure]] to set up OTKs. OTK decks also are not necessarily slow; as some OTK decks will go faster than others.

:The process of getting high value out of offensive and defensive cards to create a snowballing effect and win the game by having higher stats than the opponent. Cards like [[Banana Farm (BCS)|Banana Farm]] are often used to gain gold and stat leads on the opponent.
