Strike Bloon

==Tips==

*~~This card~~ can add ~~tempo~~ in ~~aggro~~ decks, offering ~~free~~ healing at the expense ~~the~~ Strike Bloon having 40 less HP than ~~a [[Yellow Bloon (BCS)|Yellow Bloon]], or~~ a [[Green Bloon (BCS)|Green Bloon]] ~~that costs 1 Gold more~~.

*Strike Bloon can add a good source of offensive healing in Aggro decks, offering healing on leak at the expense of Strike Bloon having 10 less HP than a [[Green Bloon (BCS)|Green Bloon]].

*Compared to [[Quick Break]], Strike Bloon heals only up to 90 per Bloon (10 less than Quick Break) but can synergize with health buffs such as [[Fortify]]. ~~It's also an Uncommon, not~~ a ~~Common~~, and ~~effectively has 20 less potential heal per card excluding health buffs. However~~, ~~this also assumes~~ the ~~opponent lacks anything to reduce its HP or negate damage~~.

*Compared to [[Quick Break]], Strike Bloon heals only up to 80 per Bloon (20 less than Quick Break) but can synergize with health buffs such as [[Fortify]]. Being a Bloon, it also gives much more offensive potential and Bloontonium, so although the healing is lower it generally is better for more aggressive decks.

**[[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]]'s passive will let ~~the~~ Strike Bloon ~~do up to 10 more~~ heal ~~than~~ Quick Break.

**[[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]]'s passive will let Strike Bloon heal the same amount of health as Quick Break.

*~~Focus on~~ Strike Bloon if going in a mirror ~~aggro~~ matchup~~, but watch out~~ for ~~other Bloons such as [[Steady Growth Bloon]]~~.

*Strike Bloon if going in a mirror Aggro matchup can be a great way to swing the game in your favor due to the simultaneous damage and healing that you can get for cheap.

*Shield doesn't count for Strike Bloon's health heal, so [[Obyn Greenfoot (BCS)|Obyn Greenfoot]] ~~control~~ decks can cause a late Strike Bloon to heal nothing. [[Mana Shield (BCS)|Mana Shield]] is also a good ~~card to use~~ for negating the ~~opponent's life gains~~.

*Shield doesn't count for Strike Bloon's health heal, so [[Obyn Greenfoot (BCS)|Obyn Greenfoot]] decks can cause a late Strike Bloon to heal nothing via the use of a card like [[Wall Of Trees|Wall of Trees]]. [[Mana Shield (BCS)|Mana Shield]] is also a good for negating the health recovery.

*Strike Bloon versus [[Dreadbloon (BCS)|Dreadbloon]] can be used to recover some lost lives, however many of Dreadbloon's defensive cards ([[Immunity (card)|Immunity]], [[Wrath of Dread]], [[Dread Shield]], [[Armored]]) and Stage 2 Dreadbloon's final ability can negate or limit the Strike Bloon's heal.

*Strike Bloon versus [[Dreadbloon (BCS)|Dreadbloon]] can be used to recover some lost lives, however many of Dreadbloon's defensive cards ([[Immunity (card)|Immunity]], [[Wrath of Dread]], [[Dread Shield]], [[Armored]]) and Stage 2 Dreadbloon's final ability can negate or limit the Strike Bloon's heal. If you must run a healing option then [[Clever Yellow Bloon]] or [[Monkey Priestess]] is typically preferred.

**The only time that the inability to heal on overkill matters is when Dreadbloon is already at low health. Avoid wasting this Bloon when Dreadbloon's health is low, if possible.
