The Eternal is an Advanced Bloon card in Bloons Card Storm, introduced in version 3.0. Each time it is destroyed or it hits the opponent's Hero, it creates a copy of itself in the player's hand with more Health than before. If it hit the opponent's Hero, the copy gains 60 Health, but if it was popped, it gains 30 Health. If Return to Sender is used on a copy, it reverts to its original health. This Bloon can be copied by effects (e.g. Double Trouble or Reinflated). Multiple Eternals are allowed to return to the player's hand if The Eternal was copied. Only one The Eternal can be in the Collection.
Tips
This section was last updated for: version 6.1
- The Eternal is a scaling Bloon that becomes more valuable the longer the game goes, provided the player has ample space in their hand. It can be used to assist Boss Battles, but should not be relied on as the main damage. With its infinite card generation, this card can offer a constant source of Bloontonium.
- By popping the Eternal, it gets stronger. Delaying the popping of The Eternal prevents it from scaling too quickly, but letting it leak will have it scale more quickly.
- Delay the final pop on the second turn, if possible, to minimize the health scaling.
- If available, the Slowing Bloon, Glue Storm, Powerful Slowing Totem, and Red Bloon Apopalypse can slow down the opponent from sending more Eternals.
- Self-destruction cards can build up the Eternal's HP quicker at the will of the player, but are generally less useful due to the less health gained. The most popular self-destruction card for this purpose is Bloon Melter.
- The Eternal can be permanently removed from play by destroying it or using Return to Sender while the opponent has a full hand. To prevent losing The Eternal, keeping a low hand is recommended.
- Certain Bloon removers are effective against The Eternal:
- Return to Sender reverts a single Eternal to original health, preventing a potentially lethal amount of HP of that Eternal.
- Bloon Redirect can be used in Eternal decks to prevent mirror matchups from using The Eternal, or to potentially steal from an opponent who poorly uses The Eternal. This, however, is prevented once The Eternal gets enough health.
- Bloon Master Alchemist can render pure Eternal decks useless if the Eternal is not duplicated.
- Since the Version 4.4 nerfs, the Eternal is no longer strong enough to carry as a deck wincon, due to the variety of hard counters and tactics to slow the Eternal's growth. Its favored synergies like duplicators (Double Trouble, Reinflated, etc.) are better used on other Bloons.
- Eternal is not reliable as a main win condition. Conventional mid-game bloon spam decks (e.g. Large Bloon spam of MOABs and BFBs) may include The Eternal purely for variety of rushes.
