Bloontonium (BCS)

A player with 14/18 Bloontonium for their Hero. Some abilities are darkened.

In Bloons Card Storm, Bloontonium is used for Hero abilities, some of which activate passively, while others consume Bloontonium. Bloontonium can be earned from playing Bloons or from certain card effects, and spent for certain cards that require Bloontonium.

When the player plays a Bloon card, that player's Hero gains Bloontonium equal to the amount of Gold spent to play the Bloon. This is affected by card effects that alter a Bloon card's Gold cost, such as the effects from Discount Bloon, Setup Bloon, and For My Next Trick. Bloontonium is also earned by playing a card that costed Gold when initially played, such as from Double Trouble or Reinflated.

Unspent Bloontonium carries over between turns, and maximum Bloontonium capacity varies between heroes. The player cannot have more Bloontonium than their hero's max amount of Bloontonium no matter what. Bloontonium is not consumed if an ability cannot be used manually, with exception of Adora's Sun Shield, but it will be consumed upon using an activated ability. Visually, abilities that do not meet the required Bloontonium will become darkened.

Certain cards require spending Bloontonium instead of Gold. Some card effects treat cards that cost Bloontonium differently when calculating the "cost" of the card (e.g. Fast and Loose's up to 3 Gold benefit, Nature's Clarity's shield gains per cost).
