Tips

This section was last updated for: version 6.4
  • Rainbows are relatively high-HP bloons that supply plenty of Bloontonium. It's quite expensive compared to MOABs and BFBs (which are cheaper with more HP, but 1 extra delay), so they're best combined with other Bloons for pressure. It usually serves as only a budget card in newer decks for supplying Bloontonium, and is often replaced by other Bloons like Camo Regrow Rainbow Bloon in more developed decks.
  • With the exception of certain scaling Bloons like The Eternal and Armor Powered Bloon, Rainbows have the most base health of any non-Large Bloon, notably taking only ordinary damage from MOAB Maulers and being immune to other effects specific to Large Bloons. Few worthwhile cards designed against non-Large Bloons will backfire against a Rainbow.
  • Notably, it unlocks the passives of Obyn Greenfoot and Adora, and two Rainbows are enough to fully unlock Adora's Ultimate Sacrifice (with only 1 Bloontonium overflow).

Update history

“
Rainbow Bloon is a fun Bloon, being a pretty high cost 3-delay Bloon, but it just a little too low health. 40 extra health on both charges should make it a little easier to hit the opponent and to make them generally a little bit more pressured overall.

  • Buff Health increased ― 400 → 440

Development

Rainbow Bloons received more Health in Version 6.4 to make it better as a rushing card for 3 delay, giving more pressure for how much resources it can provide.[1]
