Hastening Bloon is an Advanced Bloon card in Bloons Card Storm. When played, it reduces the delay of a random other Bloon on the player's side by 1, to a minimum of 0. The affected Bloon moves towards the queue in order of recentness (i.e. oldest go first). It cannot target Bloons that are already at 0 delay, and if there are no Bloons it can target, it does nothing. It cannot target Immobile Bloons.
The card artwork depicts a Hastening Bloon creating a whirlwind near a green-colored Bloon at a desert. According to the development sheets from Aimee Cairn's NZGDC presentation of BCS, the Hastening Bloon was based on the Yellow Bloon.

- Like Quick Ready, Hastening Bloon can reduce a bloon's delay to 0, but costs 1 less Gold. The tradeoff is that the bloon targeted is random, while leaving behind a bloon that generates 6 bloontonium, so this Bloon should preferably be used when it can guarantee a win no matter what bloon is affected.
- If there's exactly one possible candidate, Hastening Bloon will guarantee to reduce delay of that Bloon.
- Some players may use tactics specific to the consistency of Hastening Bloon. For disruption, the opponent may leave a few of your bloons at low HP (e.g. Reds from Red Bloon Apopalypse). On the contrary, a Bloon Melter can remove some unwanted targets, but can be hard to justify in a deck unless it's for a burn deck.
- If looking for reducing the delay of a bloon with two delay to zero, such as any 1 delay bloon with Improved Fortification, or Double Ceramic Bloon, it is recommended that only one Hastening Bloon is relied on before using Quick Ready, as playing more than one Hastening Bloon may end up reducing the delay of the first Hastening Bloon instead of the desired bloon.
- The Hastening Bloon itself is hardly a threat, and using multiple Hastenings for pressure can be unreliable.
