Bolstered Bloon

Line 26:

*Bolstered Bloon is best used in aggro decks, many of which include lots of cards with cheap, spammable bloons. Generally, the prime moment to start Bolstered Bloon is Round 3 (Round 2 on High Finance) and follow up with as many cheap-costing bloons as possible.

**Having at least two other bloons will ensure that double [[Storm Of Arrows (BCS)|Storm Of Arrows]] won't guarantee hitting the Bolstered Bloon twice.

**It is very difficult to counter a Bolstered Bloon in the early-game, especially if already boosted at least twice (~~210~~ effective HP). Other than doing a Bolstered Bloon rush yourself, [[Hero Protection]] or [[Return to Sender]] can counteract the damage from a highly boosted Bolstered Bloon.

**It is very difficult to counter a Bolstered Bloon in the early-game, especially if already boosted at least twice (150 effective HP). Other than doing a Bolstered Bloon rush yourself, [[Hero Protection]] or [[Return to Sender]] can counteract the damage from a highly boosted Bolstered Bloon.

**Bolstered Bloon starts to fall off later in the game, where many players have better access to wholescreen damage such as [[Thunder Druid]] and burst damage such as [[Super Monkey (BCS)|Super Monkey]].

*Versus an aggro mirror, Bolstered Bloon is based largely on luck, depending largely on beginning with Reds and Bolstered. However, aggro Bolstered Bloon is effective versus control decks, who would usually be low on Gold with only a few specific counters to the Bolstered while still vulnerable to swarms.
