Long Range Rang

*Long Range Rang ~~is not recommended~~ for ~~many decks as it is very weak for its power, at~~ 3 ~~gold~~ for 70 damage it fails to fully pop even 2 cost Bloons such as [[Strike Bloon]] or [[Swarm Green Bloon]] and also requires monkeys to finish off.

*Long Range Rang demands a lot of Gold to ever be considered for a deck. At 3 Gold for 70 damage, it fails to fully pop even 2 cost Bloons such as [[Strike Bloon]] or [[Swarm Green Bloon]] and also requires monkeys to finish them off.

**~~Using~~ it ~~multiple times~~ on a ~~single Bloon amplifies the~~ problem ~~and simply wastes gold for little payoff~~.

**Don't rely on this card to deal damage. It's only going to make it harder to afford anything later on. Use it sparingly for later rounds, when Gold is less of a problem.

*As a Power it is not affected by Bloons with Must Pop (especially [[Target Practice Blimp]]) or anything that affects only Monkeys (e.g. [[Stun Gas Bloon]], [[Weakening Gas Bloon]], [[Toxic Bloon]]). To keep it, ensure it never pops a Bloon; the reverse is true.

*Although it can target your own Bloons, there's little practical reason to do that.

*Long Range Rang can also target own Bloons, but should rarely be used for that purpose, unless it's something like chipping [[Volatile Bloon]] to follow up with a Hero ability, or unclog one [[Red Bloon (BCS)|Red Bloon]] from a [[Red Bloon Apopalypse]].

*With max Gold, up to 6 Long Range Rangs can be played, for up to 420 damage.

*Cycling through Long Range Rang usages is time-consuming, about 5 seconds per use, which includes the time needed to grab the card and pick a target.

*Equipping multiple ~~copies of~~ Long Range Rangs is usually not necessary, as this card can return infinitely under the right conditions.

*Equipping multiple Long Range Rangs are usually not necessary, as this card can return infinitely under the right conditions, and being a Common it's easy to draw it. That is, unless Long Range Rang serves as a wincon, particularly for Deck Manipulation [[Dreadbloon (BCS)|Dreadbloon]].

*Some ~~Bloons, notably Double~~ Bloons can be chipped to barely above 0 Health with Long Range Rang. Thus, a player can use a low-damage attack to finish it off.

*Some Bloons can be chipped to barely above 0 Health with Long Range Rang. Thus, a player can use a low-damage attack to finish it off.

**[[Double Yellow Bloon]] takes 1 hit to reach 40 health, which is much easier to deal with on its own.

**[[Double Lead Bloon]] takes two hits to reach 10 Health, needing at least 20 damage to pop the remains, assuming no Health modifiers.

**[[Double Ceramic Bloon]] takes three hits to reach 10 Health, assuming no Health modifiers.

*~~Avoid over~~-~~using~~ Long Range Rang ~~without anticipating further rushes in future rounds~~, ~~otherwise it's harder~~ to ~~afford anything costing more than 10 Gold. Only use as many Long Range Rangs as necessary~~.

**[[Buddy Bloon]] takes three hits to reach 15 Health, assuming no Health modifiers.

**Stage 1 [[Dreadbloon (BCS)|Dreadbloon]] at phase 3 and above has [[Rock Bloon (BCS)|Rock Bloon]]s with enough Armor to not be one-shot by Long Range Rang (i.e. 60 HP + 15 Armor = 5 HP). At Phase 3, only 20 damage or more is needed to follow up, 25 damage at phase 4.
