Radar Scanner Village is a Support Monkey card in Bloons Card Storm, introduced in version 6.0. It is unable to attack, instead increasing the ATK of Monkeys placed adjacent to it by 35, with identical mechanics to the basic Monkey Village, plus granting detect to them (allowing direct targeting of Camos even if non-Camos are on the opponent's side).

Its artwork depicts a Radar Scanner Village at a grassy location outside of a jungle, with two monkeys alerting the presence of Camo Bloons; one monkey points to the Camo Blue, the other to the Camo Red. A Camo Yellow is further along the path towards the jungle.

Tips

This section was last updated for: version 6.4
  • At 3 extra Gold and 15 more ATK bonus than the standard Monkey Village, Radar Scanner Village is expensive to depend on for Detect and is harder to save up for, so it needs Monkeys that have high Ammo to be worth using. Radar Scanner Village should primarily used for Control or later OTK decks that want to defend for a long time.
  • If Detect is an option you want, Radar Scanner Village can provide stronger Monkeys with Detect than other options such as Night Vision Sniper. The tradeoff is that Radar Scanner Village is much more expensive than other Detect options, so Detect is more of a bonus on top of the huge damage boost more than anything. It can still be very useful if defending against Camo Regrow Rainbow Bloon, Camo Regrow Ceramic Bloon, DDT, or CRRROD.
  • Since the card has no ATK or utility effect on its own without other Monkeys while also being very expensive, Radar Scanner Village can brick in your hand and be difficult to play if you don't draw well enough. It's for this reason that Monkey Village, despite the lower ATK boost, can often be better as it bricks much less and works with early game Monkeys like Crossbow Monkey better for defending against Aggro or Tempo.
  • Combining Radar Scanner Village with cards like Sharp Shooter, Crossbow Monkey, Frag Bomb Shooter, Arcane Master, or other powerful later game Monkeys can deal extremely high amounts of damage to enemy Bloons. If playing Mountain Obyn, Dire Wolf additionally gains a massive boost from this card that can result in extremely high amounts of damage.
  • Radar Scanner Village gives enough ATK to stop any neighboring Monkey from getting hit by Bed Time. This could theoretically help cards such as Jungle's Bounty Druid versus Dreadbloon, but against human players, Bedtime is usually played earlier and is by proxy less likely to be blocked by Radar Scanner Village.

Update history

  • Nerf Gold cost increased ― 5 → 7
  • Buff Bonus ATK increased ― +10 → +35
  • Nerf No longer has 1 internal ammo (bug fix)
    • Note: Enables Ghost Monkey to remove it

Development

This card is similar to an unused card named "Radar Scanner", which had text and placeholder art in the data of Bloons Card Storm in the Firstlook test. The card was not implemented, and its art was removed in the full release, but its text remained in the game files. The text for this unused card still exists in the localization files as of version 6.1, and its description was updated to make the keyword text bold in version 4.0.

Art Name Description
Beta builds Radar Scanner On Play: Remove Camo from enemy Bloons. On Enemy Bloon Played: Remove Camo from played Bloon
Version 6.0 Radar Scanner Village Can't Attack. Adjacent Monkeys gain Detect and +10 ATK

Radar Scanner Village was deemed outclassed by normal Village due to the card being essentially a dead draw by offering nothing better than the other card.[1] Since Version 6.4, the large ATK bonus versus cost makes Radar Scanner more viable as an upgraded synergizer with low ATK but high Ammo Monkeys such as Crossbow Monkey and the newly buffed Heart of Vengeance Druid.[1]
