;Against Adora

*Adora can be difficult to deal with if your deck isn't built to counter her in some ways, or if you do not know how to pressure her effectively. The efficiency of her abilities gets stronger the more Adora's Ultimate Sacrifice is used, so going later with heroes not built for Control or OTK can result in Adora becoming too strong to stop.

*Adora relies on gaining a ton of ~~bloontonium~~ to maximize her power like mentioned above. Cards like [[Bloontonium Leak]], [[Haunting Night]] and [[Bloontonium Saboteur]] can harm her bloontonium supply or lower her bloontonium below the range of Sun Shield. Use [[Bloontonium Leak]] on turns where you can OTK Adora.

*Against the miner type cards, you can use [[Bed Time]] on [[Bloontonium Miner~~|Bloontonium miner~~]], or [[Shrink]] on [[Mine Supervisor]], although be wary that Adora can still sacrifice the [[Baby Monkey]] made from Shrink. Alternatively, both miner cards having low DPT means that attacking Adora when she places down miners is an effective way to deal with her while not requiring any removal.

*Adora's Orbs of light deal 30 damage per orb. It attacks random targets, so Adora hitting a strong Bloon can be unreliable if the board is more full. Spamming weak Bloons like Red Bloons can reduce the chances of Adora's orbs hitting what you don't want hit.

*Orbs of Light having random targeting and Sun Shield only attacking leaking Bloons makes high health Bloons like [[BFB (BCS)|BFB]] effective at dealing with Adora when combined with more high health Bloons. [[Healing Bloon]] and [[Prince of Darkness (BCS)|Prince of Darkness]] are also devastating for orb damage output, as two orb attacks can be nearly negated with the healing.

*Against Orbs of Light, a Bloon with [[Armor]] can take less damage from the orbs, reducing the value from the ability. Don't rely on [[Armor]] countering Adora, as smart Adora players will run [[Armor Piercing]] Monkeys.

*[[Ability Ban]] is the cheapest way to prevent Adora from using Sun Shield. Use Ability Ban when you have an OTK set up vs Adora.

*[[Triple Threat Bloon|Triple Threat Bloon's]] shield gain upon using ~~powers~~ can make it easy to beat Adora with. Combine it with a [[Barrel of Monkeys]], and a Triple Threat Bloon can leak through a maxed out Sun Shield without taking damage. Triple Threat Bloon OTK decks are very effective against Adora.

*Ultimate Sacrifice is Adora's strongest ability. She can sacrifice a tower with bad DPT and heal herself for 150 HP and add another orb of light. Attacking her with Aggro decks before she can get an Ultimate Sacrifice is critical, as after one Sacrifice she may become too defensively powerful to beat with Aggro.

*Adora can be outlasted by other heroes due to the variety of cards that can deal with her by either draining her Bloontonium or denying her abilities. Her weak signatures also do not help, with only [[Salvation]] and [[Divination]] being worth noting as cards to look out for against her.
