Red Bloon (BCS)

==Tips==

*As the only 0-cost ~~bloon~~ alongside [[Swarm Red Bloon]], ~~the~~ Red Bloons are useful for rushing against the opponent ~~on turn 1~~, when they will likely be uncontested. Having large amounts of them can be a considerable threat if the opponent lacks [[Spike Storm!]] or [[~~Firestorm~~]].

*As the only 0-cost Bloon alongside [[Swarm Red Bloon]] and [[Golden Blimp]] when out of [[Gold (BCS)|Gold]], Red Bloons are useful for rushing against the opponent in the very early rounds, when they will likely be uncontested. Having large amounts of them can be a considerable threat if the opponent lacks a way to deal with swarms of Bloons.

**However, ~~note that opponent~~ will ~~have 4 Gold (P1)~~ or ~~5 Gold (P2) by~~ the ~~time that Reds become a real threat~~, ~~enough to afford two Spike Storm!, Firestorm, or at least 2 cards worth of [[Dart Monkey Twins]]~~.~~~~

**Field clear, such as [[Firestorm]], [[Spike Storm!]], [[Super Monkey Storm (BCS)|Super Monkey Storm]], or other AOE threats will wipe out or heavily reduce the impact of Red Bloons. Red Bloons have very little cost for using them though, as they are free.

*While not as good as [[Green Bloon (BCS)|Green Bloon]]s and [[Yellow Bloon (BCS)|Yellow Bloon]]s in ~~aggro~~, Red Bloons ~~could~~ be used to ~~divert random-attacking cards such as~~ [[~~Mortar Monkey~~ (BCS)|~~Mortar Monkey~~]] ~~and~~ [[~~Storm Of Arrows (BCS)|Storm Of Arrows~~]].

*While not as good as [[Green Bloon (BCS)|Green Bloon]]s and [[Yellow Bloon (BCS)|Yellow Bloon]]s in Aggro, Red Bloons are useful as extra padding to a rush as free stats. They can be used in basically any Aggro deck, as there is often no real cost in including a few of them.

*Running 3x Red Bloon can be worse than running 2x Red Bloon, as drawing too many Red Bloons too quickly can make your hand full of cards with low amounts of stats.

*Red Bloons are good to trigger [[Bolstered Bloon]], [[Spooky Bloon]] when playing [[Ezili (BCS)|Ezili]], or to make [[Emboldened Bloon]] cheaper. They are also useful to play immediately after playing [[Strengthenator]], as its buff works well with Red Bloons.

*If using [[Bloon Embiggen]] or [[Growth Gas Bloon]], saving Red Bloons for buffing them later may be worth doing if the opponent's field clear is not a concern.
