Buddy Bloon

==Tips==

*Buddy Bloon is best used for countering high damage Monkeys in the early game. Targeting something like a [[Sniper Monkey (BCS)|Sniper Monkey]], [[Super Monkey (BCS)|Super Monkey]], [[Frag Bomb Shooter]] or [[Robo Monkey (BCS)|Robo Monkey]] earlier on can harm opponent defenses by making strong, more expensive cards functionally useless for a while.

*Freeing the neutralized Monkey via popping the Buddy Bloon is difficult without the support of Powers or other Monkeys. Unless it can surely be popped within 3 turns, focusing damage on it is useless.

*Towers affected by Buddy Bloon can be affected by [[Bed Time]]. This combo is more expensive than [[Shrink]] and costs two cards to do, so it generally is not worth considering.

*If the opponent tries to rely on a Defender to damage Bloons after their turn, Buddy Bloon can be used to negate it (provided it's the highest ATK Monkey), and also waste its ammo.

*There are two ways to reliably neutralize a Buddy Bloon: [[Overload (BCS)|Overload]] (destroys 100 or less HP bloon, ignoring Shield) or [[Energy Overload]] (destroys shielded bloon). [[Shields Down!]] can also be used to break its shield.

*There are two ways to reliably neutralize a Buddy Bloon: [[Overload (BCS)|Overload]] (destroys 100 or less HP bloon, ignoring Shield) or [[Energy Overload]] (destroys shielded bloon). Three [[Long Range Rang]]s on an undamaged Buddy Bloon followed by a low-damage attack can also work. [[Shields Down!]] can also be used to break its shield.

*Buddy Bloon does not stop "On Attack" effects, so using it on [[Burny Stuff Mortar|Burny Stuff]], [[Alchemist Monkey (BCS)|Alchemist]], or [[Bloon Master Alchemist (BCS)|Bloon Master Alchemist]] is not as effective as on other Monkeys. It also has no effect on effects independent from the ATK stat, making it less effective on [[Blade Maelstrom (BCS)|Blade Maelstrom]] and [[Bouncing Bullet (BCS)|Bouncing Bullet]].
