On Attack: Deal Splash Damage Class — Card Pack None Rarity Common Keywords — Exclusive to Mountain Obyn Introduced Version 5.0 Stats Cost 0 Ammo 1 Charges 1 ATK 50 Type Wolf Reload 1

Dire Wolf is a classless Monkey card in Bloons Card Storm, introduced in version 5.0. It is generated when Mountain Obyn uses his Summon Dire Wolf ability. When it attacks, it deals splash damage to Bloons adjacent to the target. Despite doing splash damage, it doesn't have the Splash Damage keyword. It can be part of a deck on certain Daily Challenges and other challenges.

Tips

This section was last updated for: version 6.2

• Dire Wolf is a very strong free Monkey but requires max Bloontonium to make, making it slow to generate but powerful in the long-term. It's worth keeping on the board.
• Dire Wolf, although very strong, has only 50 damage per turn against single targets. Although it is recommended to summon Dire Wolf, placing too many on the board without supporting strong single target monkeys can make high-health Bloons threatening.
  • Heavy tempo decks that use Golden Blimp and Lead Zeppelin are effective against decks that only rely on Dire Wolves for the majority of damage.
• Unlike the normal Wolf, the Dire Wolf should be treated more as a permanent Monkey, as it's valuable at taking down groups of bloons for 1 delay.
  • Some players may use Expert Negotiator to steal a Dire Wolf.
• Like Triple Shot, Dire Wolf is very receptive to changes in Attack Power.
  • Weakening Gas Bloon can weaken Dire Wolf if there's 1 or no bloons before or after that Bloon. In that case, avoid letting it attack.
  • On the other hand, Weapon Enhancer Bloon is a good way to improve its grouped damage.
• It pairs very well with Try this! and Howl. Be wary of using Howl in Mountain Obyn decks though, as it provides no value before a Dire Wolf is summoned, and can make defending more difficult due to a more clogged hand.
• Players relying on only Miners and Dire Wolves as their only Monkeys must be careful against aggro, OTK, and heavy tempo decks, as Dire Wolves are too slow to make, have no defense against 0 delay Bloons, and have low single-target damage alone.

Update history

Version 5.2

•  Attacking now removes Armor from the target when buffed by Armor Piercing (bug fix)
