*For its price of 4 Gold, Blooming Bloon is powerful. Not popping it is very punishing, and it requires immediate attention if sent. Countering it early on can be difficult if you draw poorly, especially if the opponent is using [[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]] to buff its health further. | *For its price of 4 Gold, Blooming Bloon is powerful.

*Targeting Blooming Bloon is a priority, as it is one of Aggro’s strongest Bloons. Aggro decks frequently run it, so preparing for it pre-emptively is a must when fighting Aggro. | *Targeting Blooming Bloon is a priority, as it is one of Aggro’s strongest Bloons.

:*Running burst removal such as [[Robo Monkey (BCS)|Robo Monkey]], [[Bloon Redirect]], and [[Overload (BCS)|Overload]] is effective at taking it out before it becomes a threat.

:*[[Quincy (BCS)|Quincy]] has multiple options versus an early Blooming Bloon. [[Storm Of Arrows (BCS)|Storm Of Arrows]] and [[Rapid Shot (BCS)|Rapid Shot]] will pop the Blooming Bloon layer if there's a few Bloons. Alternatively, assuming no HP buffs,<!--btw dc blooming is 85hp--> use [[Bloontonium Cache]] and enough Bloon cards to get 9 Bloontonium (or just the former if the map is BRefinery), then do three Arrow Shots. | :*[[Quincy (BCS)|Quincy]] has multiple options versus an early Blooming Bloon.

*If running Zee Jay, a leaked Blooming Bloon's first Yellow will count for his Passive Enhancements, thus guaranteeing 1 Rad Token for that round. | *If running Zee Jay, a leaked Blooming Bloon's first Yellow will count for his Passive Enhancements, thus guaranteeing 1 Rad Token for that round. | ||
*Note that the spawned Yellows effectively have 2 delay relative to the opponent. So, as the opponent, saving up to [[Thunder Druid]] can be done if the Blooming Bloon was sent later than Round 2. | *Note that the spawned Yellows effectively have 2 delay relative to the opponent.
