Pink Bloon (BCS)

Line 27:

{{Cleanup|Probably needs re-write after the hype of pinks outside of aggro and burn is reduced a lot}}

*~~The~~ Pink Bloon is best used as a finisher~~; if~~ the opponent ~~has 100~~ or ~~less health~~, or if ~~the 0 delay rush would leave~~ 100 or less health~~, a single~~ Pink Bloon is ~~enough to defeat~~ the ~~opponent, assuming lacks anything to beat it (i~~.e. no Defenders ~~or Shields are present or active~~, ~~nor~~ [[~~Quincy~~ (BCS)|~~Quincy~~]]'s or [[~~Adora~~, ~~High Priestess~~ (BCS)|~~Adora's~~]] passive ~~ability)~~.

*Pink Bloon is best used as a finisher, being the only 0-delay Bloon that does high damage on its own. It also works well in burn decks, which involve depleting Health of the opponent instantly.

**~~Storing multiple Pinks can be helpful~~ to ~~finish off an opponent at higher thresholds, if you can afford them all in one turn: 200~~ or ~~less health with two Pinks~~, ~~300~~ or ~~less health with three Pinks.~~

*If the opponent lacks any card or ability that stops it, a single Pink Bloon can defeat the opponent if they're at 100 or less health; one Pink Bloon is essentially 100 damage face if the conditions are met.

**You can combine with [[~~Bloon Strike~~]](~~s) to do~~ enough ~~damage~~ to ~~the hero, allowing the~~ Pink ~~Bloon to finish them off~~.

**Many methods can prevent Pink Bloons. Defenders, large amounts of shields, protection auras ([[Hero Protection]] and [[Corvus Academy of Arts]]), [[Adora (BCS)|Adora]]'s passive ability, and 0-delay stoppers (e.g. [[Druid of Peace]], [[ARBITR]]) are among the reliable ways to limit the damage of Pinks. [[Quincy (BCS)|Quincy]] passive does damage Pinks, but not enough to be full protection.

**When fighting against the Pink, ~~a player should keep their health above 100~~, ~~otherwise the opponent can play~~ a ~~pink bloon to finish off~~ the ~~health~~.

**The best defense against a Pink Bloon is to use Defenders or Shields, or have an active [[Adora, High Priestess (BCS)|Adora's]] passive (4 orbs is enough to fully pop a Pink). However, versus aggro, avoid losing too much Health from 1-delay Bloons, or else a Pink may quickly end the game in defeat.

*Unlike other sources of instant damage such as [[Bloon Strike]], Pinks can be affected by health-boosting effects (e.g. Dark Castle's +5 health, [[Fortify]], and [[Growth Gas Bloon]]), [[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]]'s Passive Awesomeness, and generate Bloontonium.

**Avoid [[Improved Fortification]], because this nullifies the Pink Bloon's unique 0 delay.

*[[Amelia (BCS)|Amelia]] players can use a Pink-focused strategy as part of their "burn" deck. [[Reinflated]] is recommended with it.

*The best defense against a Pink Bloon is to use Defenders or Shields, or have an active [[Adora, High Priestess (BCS)|Adora's]] passive ability.

**Among the shields, Obyn and his [[Wall Of Trees]] and [[Nature's Clarity]] cards offer the greatest amount of Shield. His passive ability also generates shield per round.

**With at least 2 sacrifices, Adora's passive will fully pop any non-buffed Pink.

*If an opponent is attempting to tank a very high HP bloon with [[Hero Protection]], a Pink can be used to intercept it, provided that the high HP bloon is not at 0 delay.

*Pink Bloon with three [[Fortify]] plus one [[Double Trouble]] is an OTK for an opponent who lacks Shields, Defenders, nor [[Quincy (BCS)|Quincy]]'s or [[Adora, High Priestess (BCS)|Adora's]] passive ability. This combo costs 20 Gold.

*With the Storm, take note in advance for the Pink Bloons, which can be deadly for a player without healing and/or active Adora's passive.

*~~Pinks can be blocked by~~ [[~~ARBITR~~]] or [[~~Druid of Peace~~]]~~, so be careful if there are those~~.

*If an opponent is attempting to tank a very high HP bloon with [[Hero Protection]], a Pink can be used to intercept it, provided that the high HP bloon is not at 0 delay. This is more common during the [[Storm (BCS)|Storm]] than as a played card.
