RAPID

Line 21:

The '''RAPID''' is a [[Bloon (BCS)|Basic Bloon]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|4.0}}. At the start of each of the player's [[turn]]s, it reduces the Delay of the last Bloon in the player's Bloon track that does not have the Immobile property by 1 (including itself). Only one of this card can be in a deck.

As this Bloon has infinite delay, it cannot be affected by delay ~~reducers~~ (e.g. [[Quick Ready]]~~) or delay increasers (e.g.~~ [[Slowing Bloon]]), and always stays towards the back of the queue.

As this Bloon has infinite delay, it cannot be affected by delay modifiers (e.g. [[Quick Ready]], [[Slowing Bloon]]), but can still be targeted by delay modifiers, and always stays towards the back of the queue.

==Tips==

*RAPID is a cheaper alternative to using conventional delay reducers (especially [[Quick Ready]]) and can reduce delay of bloons gradually, but is limited to the bloons at the back of the queue and is vulnerable to burst damage and powerful board clears.

**As a [[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]] aggro player, having the [[Rad Bloon]] with a RAPID can help push that Bloon while the opponent may struggle with many one-delay Bloons.

*Because the RAPID cannot target Bloons that are Immobile, a RAPID could be paired with multiple other Immobile Bloons such as [[ARBITR]] and extra RAPIDs (via [[Double Trouble]], or stolen RAPID from [[Bloon Redirect]]).
