Long Range Rang

==Tips==

*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~~. ~~Additionally,~~ Long Range Rang encourages a full hand, ~~which is opposite of~~ the ~~ideal for~~ control decks.

*Against opponents who can properly manage resources, Long Range Rang is not a strong card. It falls flat against aggro, dealing only 70 damage for 3 Gold instead of buying cheap early-game Monkeys. Long Range Rang can lose tempo due to the constant investment, and it encourages a full hand, making the user vulnerable to opposing tempo and control decks.

**Don't rely on this card ~~to deal damage. It's only going to make it harder to afford anything later on; your aggression slows down and loses time to build up resources. Use it sparingly for~~ later rounds, when Gold is less of a problem.

*Long Range Rang relies on excess Gold and is too weak without it. Don't rely on this card until later rounds, when Gold is less of a problem, and use it sparingly so you don't end up losing time and resources to build a wincon.

*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]]).

*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.

*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 Long Range Rangs are usually not necessary, as this card can return infinitely under the right conditions. That is, unless Long Range Rang serves as a wincon, particularly for Deck Manipulation [[Dreadbloon (BCS)|Dreadbloon]].

*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 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.

*Equipping multiple Long Range Rangs are usually not necessary, as this card can return infinitely under the right conditions. That is, unless Long Range Rang serves as a wincon, such as Deck Manipulation [[Dreadbloon (BCS)|Dreadbloon]].

*Assuming max Gold, 6 Long Range Rangs deal up to 420 damage in a single turn.

*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.

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