Ghostly Armor is an Exotic Power card in Bloons Card Storm, introduced in version 6.0. It grants the player's Hero 45 Armor, then removes 45 Armor at the start of the player's next turn.

The card artwork features Ezili with many ghosts surrounding her.

Tips

This section was last updated for: version 6.4

• Ghostly Armor can be used to protect against swarms of Bloons, including an opponent's swarm aggro, Blooming Bloon's Yellows, or the Storm's Pink Bloons. It is suitable for some archetypes, but the general low value of the card vs anything but Aggro makes it a waste of space in a deck if it already is good at dealing with Aggro.
• Ghostly Armor can be used by Aggro decks to protect against damage from opposing Aggro decks. It competes with Spike Storm! but is more Gold efficient if the leaking occurs on the same turn, and does not care about Bloons with Armor.
• The Armor gained from Ghostly Armor protects from all hits of Double Attack or Triple Attack Bloons. Unlike healing effects, it can also protect against surprise damage, such as Pink Bloon; however the opponent will likely just choose to not attack with Pink Bloons the turn Ghostly Armor is up.
• Ghostly Armor also lowers damage from self-inflicted sources such as Ezili's Sacrificial Totem and her Monkey Summons card.
• Ghostly Armor can protect against Mountain Obyn’s Sentinel Bloons if played before popping them. It can also be used late game to nullify the damage caused by Red Bloon Apopalypse.
• Since Ghostly Armor doesn't reduce damage dealt to Shields, it is useless if the player's Shield blocks all of the damage before their next turn. Likewise applies to protection auras (Hero Protection and Corvus Academy of Arts).

Update history

Version 6.4

“

Ghostly Armor's Armor bonus has been increased from 40 to 45 to give it an even better amount of Armor in one turn to allow it to block more damage than something like Spike Storm! could. However, because it has one charge, Spike Storm! still has the ability to outclass this thing by doing 60 damage instead of decreasing the damage taken by 45. Just makes Ghostly Armor a little bit more of a viable option when using it for anti-Aggro.

•  Bonus Hero Armor increased ― 40 → 45

Development

This card originally only added 10 Armor, but was increased to 40 before the update released. The original Armor amount was displayed in the update video.

Version 6.4 buffed Ghostly Armor with the idea that it's a better anti-aggro tool but still less flexible than Spike Storm! which has two charges.
