Shield (BCS)

Line 1:

'''Shield''' is a game mechanic in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'' that acts as an additional layer of health for [[Bloon (BCS)|Bloon]]s and [[Hero (BCS)|Hero]]s. If a Bloon or Hero with a Shield takes damage, the Shield takes damage first. Bloons and Heroes with a Shield are surrounded by a transparent bubble.

In [[~~Bloons Card Storm~~]], '~~''Shield''' is a form of protection of a~~ Bloon ~~or a Hero~~. ~~Most shields have a certain HP before they break~~. ~~However, there is a special type of shield that absorbs all~~ damage ~~from a single attack~~.

==Shields on Bloons==

[[File:BCS BuddyBloonScreenshot.png|thumb|[[Buddy Bloon]] starts with 150 Shield.]]

Shields on Bloons increase their health, but do not add to the damage the Bloon deals to the opponent's Hero if it leaks. Shields do not trigger On Damaged keyword effects when taking damage unless the hit also damages the Bloon inside it (i.e. deals more damage than the Bloon has Shield).

~~==Bloon Shield==~~

Some Bloons, such as the [[Bolstered Bloon]] and [[Buddy Bloon]], have an On Play effect that causes them to start with certain amount of Shield. This is displayed in the card's keywords, but not in the card text.

~~Bloon Shields block off damage from any hit, consequently also blocking off any on-damage effects if the bloon remains undamaged. A Bloon with a shield is inside a transparent bubble.~~ Some Bloons ~~come with shield by default~~, such as [[Bolstered Bloon]], ~~however the presence~~ of ~~a shield~~ is not ~~shown on~~ the card.

==~~Hero Shield~~==

==Shields on Heroes==

~~Hero~~ Shields block ~~off~~ damage caused by Bloons. Heroes can gain ~~shield~~ from certain cards and abilities ~~that grant shields. A hero with a multi-HP shield is inside a transparent bubble~~.

Shields on Heroes block damage caused by Bloons. Unlike health, there is no limit to how much Shield a Hero can have. Heroes can gain Shields from certain cards and abilities.

[[~~Hero~~ Protection]] ~~is a special type of shield, which blocks exactly one~~ Bloon ~~of any HP.~~
