Bolstered Bloon is an Advanced Bloon card in Bloons Card Storm. It starts with 75 Shield when it is played and it gains 25 health each time the player plays a Bloon. Bloons summoned by the Storm do not trigger this effect. Offspring caused by the player (e.g. Nested Yellow, Blooming Bloon) counts, but not offspring caused by the opponent. It does not count if the opponent summons Bloons on the player's side (e.g. Red Bloon Apopalypse).
Tips
This section was last updated for: version 6.2
- Due to its slower speed, Bolstered Bloon generally is a less effective Bloon than other options. Bolstered Bloon can be a threat when combined with many Bloons. Spamming multiple cheap Bloons is an easy way to accumulate extra health for the Bolstered Bloon.
- It is best to wait to have other bloons in your hand when playing Bolstered Bloon to ensure that it isn't instantly popped after it is played.
- Bolstered Bloon is best used in Aggro decks, many of which include lots of cards with cheap, spammable bloons. Generally, the best moment to start Bolstered Bloon is Round 3 (Round 2 on High Finance) and follow up with as many cheap-costing bloons as possible.
- Having at least two other bloons will ensure that double Storm Of Arrows won't guarantee hitting the Bolstered Bloon twice.
- Keep in mind that countering a Bolstered Bloon in the early-game is not very difficult. Hero Protection or Return to Sender can counteract the damage from a highly boosted Bolstered Bloon.
- Bolstered Bloon falls off quickly, as saving up for a turn or two allows players to have better access to expensive board clears such as Thunder Druid and burst damage such as Super Monkey.
- Versus an Aggro mirror, Bolstered Bloon is generally worse than other options. It relies a lot on luck, depending largely on beginning with Reds and Bolstered, and generally has a worse reward than cards like Blooming Bloon.
- Aggro decks that run Return To Sender to counter ARBITR have a major advantage versus Bolstered Bloon.
- Running Zombie Bloons can help Bolstered grow quickly with repeated triggers. Run them over Nested Bloons as they provide more value.
Update history
Starting Shield reduced ― 100 → 50- Health gain per bloon reduced ― +30 → +25
- No longer triggers HP gain from the Storm's Bloons or Nested Bloons (undocumented)
Starting Shield increased ― 50 → 75
Development
During the Version 6.2 playtests, Ninja Kiwi buffed Bolstered Bloon on the basis that it can survive better early on.[1][2]
