*Emboldened Bloon~~, just like [[Bolstered Bloon]]~~, needs swarms of ~~bloons~~ to be efficient~~, the main differences with Emboldened Bloon are that it becomes cheaper~~ as the ~~Emboldened Bloon is sent deeper in~~ the ~~queue, and its health doesn't scale with extra bloons~~.

*Emboldened Bloon, needs swarms of Bloons to be efficient. It is best played as one of the final two Bloons on your track for the biggest possible discount.

**~~However,~~ [[Red Bloon Storm]] stops the Emboldened Bloon from being placed. While still possible with two Arrow Shots from [[Quincy (BCS)|Quincy]] or a [[Bloon Melter]] to pop a friendly Red Bloon, this is impractical.

**[[Red Bloon Storm]] stops the Emboldened Bloon from being placed. While still possible with two Arrow Shots from [[Quincy (BCS)|Quincy]] or a [[Bloon Melter]] to pop a friendly Red Bloon, this is impractical. Using Bloons such as [[Swarm Red Bloon]] instead is more practical and easier to use.

**Having lots of cheap bloons sent before the Emboldened Bloon will save the most money. [[Swarm Red Bloon|Swarm Reds]], [[Red Bloon (BCS)|Reds]], [[Blue Bloon (BCS)|Blues]], and [[Swarm Blue Bloon|Swarm Blues]] are recommended to fill most of the board.

**Having lots of cheap bloons sent before the Emboldened Bloon will save the most money. [[Swarm Red Bloon|Swarm Reds]], [[Red Bloon (BCS)|Reds]], [[Blue Bloon (BCS)|Blues]], and [[Swarm Blue Bloon|Swarm Blues]] are recommended to fill most of the board for cost efficiency. Slower Bloons such as [[Steady Growth Bloon]], [[Camo Blue Bloon]], or [[Lead Bloon (BCS)|Lead Bloon]] can also be used for this due to their slow speed making them easier to stack on your track.

*This card can be used in midrange play-styles to some effect, as the slow Bloons the archetype usually plays naturally stay on field long enough to make Emboldened cheap.

*[[Bolstered Bloon]] can be used to set up a swarm of Bloons, and Emboldened Bloon can be used after to play a cheaper, more tanky card using the swarm that boosted the Bolstered Bloon.

*Some players may use Emboldened Bloon's cost scaling to alter Bloontonium gains from playing this ~~Bloon~~.

*This card can be used in midrange play-styles to some effect, as the slow Bloons the archetype usually plays naturally stay on field long enough to make Emboldened cheap. Do beware that Emboldened Bloon has fairly low value as a card since it is only one charge.

*Some players may use Emboldened Bloon's cost scaling to alter Bloontonium gains from playing it, however [[Golden Blimp]] is typically better at this role.
