==Tips==

*Having multiple Discount Bloons in the same hand is more cost-efficient ~~and essential to its use~~ as ~~each Discount Bloon played will reduce~~ the ~~cost~~ of ~~multiple~~ Discount ~~Bloon cards instead of just itself~~.

*Having multiple Discount Bloons in the same hand is more cost-efficient as the effect of discounting affects all Discount Bloons in hand. Having multiple can create powerful swarms that can overwhelm opponents unprepared for them.

*[[For My Next Trick]] can ~~be useful~~ for ~~setting up a cheap swarm of Discount Bloons~~.

*Discount Bloons are expensive at a total of 22 Gold for one copy; but their solid 220 health allows them to function as effectively a weaker but more spammable [[Ceramic Bloon (BCS)|Ceramic Bloon]]. Consider decks that like to play later and make lots of Gold with cards like [[Banana Farm (BCS)|Banana Farm]] or [[Marketplace (BCS)|Marketplace]].

*Discount Bloons as a ~~rush aren't very threatening, as~~ their health and ~~delay are fairly poor. Discount Bloons can be answered easily~~ with cards like [[~~Frag Bomb Shooter~~]] or [[Super Monkey Storm (BCS)|Super Monkey Storm]].

*Discount Bloons as a rush are susceptible to spread damage from cards like [[Super Monkey Storm (BCS)|Super Monkey Storm]], [[Frag Bomb Shooter]] or [[Thunder Druid]]. They do not pop immediately from any of these, but take heavy damage.

*Discount Bloons give a total of 14 Bloontonium per card, allowing it to ~~be a decent source~~ of Bloontonium. ~~Although this may~~ be a ~~strength, other cards serve this function better while being useful Bloons~~, such as [[Golden Blimp]], [[Black Bloon (BCS)|Black Bloon]], [[Zebra Bloon (BCS)|Zebra Bloon]], or [[BFB (BCS)|BFB]].

*Discount Bloons give a total of 22 Bloontonium per card, allowing it to give the second highest amount of Bloontonium per card out of any Bloon in the game. This can be great if you need tons of Bloontonium for a hero like Adora, but it’s extremely high cost makes less expensive Bloontonium generators such as [[Golden Blimp]], [[Black Bloon (BCS)|Black Bloon]], [[Zebra Bloon (BCS)|Zebra Bloon]], or [[BFB (BCS)|BFB]] more viable for heroes who do not need such a huge amount of Bloontonium.

*~~It is not recommended to run~~ Discount ~~Bloon due to its high cost~~, ~~slow speed~~, ~~and lack of stats, making it an active liability in almost every deck~~.

*Prince of Darkness if on the field can help Discount Bloons resist the effect of cards such as [[Blade Maelstrom (BCS)|Blade Maelstrom]], [[Glaive Ricochet (BCS)|Glaive Ricochet]], [[Thunder Druid]] or [[Super Monkey Storm (BCS)|Super Monkey Storm]].
