The Rad Bloon is a Large Bloon card in Bloons Card Storm, introduced in version 3.0. It is created by Zee Jay's Rad Bloon Time! ability and is not normally part of a deck. It generates one Rad Token at the start of each turn while in play. When played with Rad Bloon Time!, this Bloon's health will be 70 times the number of Rad Tokens removed upon using the ability, though if moved to the player's hand with Return to Sender, it reverts to having 70 health.

Although this card displays the icon for Basic Bloons, it is considered a Large Bloon and is affected by cards like Sticky Bomb and Crippling Sniper.

Tips

This section was last updated for: version 3.2
  • If the opponent lacks Sticky Bomb or any Bloon removal card, a buffed Rad Bloon is a significant threat for the opponent, especially in the early-game. Not only it can have massive HP, the extra Rad Token per round will fuel even more Rad Bloons if not dealt with fast enough.
  • Return to Sender removes any HP gains obtained via Zee Jay's major ability. If the opponent removes the Rad Bloon, re-playing the card is still worth the Gold cost when planning ahead for next turns.
  • For Zee Jay OTK strategies, three Quick Ready plus an extremely high HP Rad Bloon (try 8+ tokens) will defeat the opponent in one turn if they lack Hero Protection. If they have Adora's passive, more tokens are necessary.
    • To defeat Hero Protection, even more setup is necessary. Get Quincy Action Figure for extra Gold and pair with Double Trouble. This will outscale even a maximized Obyn Greenfoot with plenty of shield and a Hero Protection.
    • Note that Zee Jay lacks any direct defense, so be sure to defend against the opponent's rushes first before preparing for this OTK combo.
  • For Zee Jay aggro strategies, the Rad Bloon is often combined with other Bloons as a high-HP threat, alongside the swarms of cheap bloons.

Update history

  •   Delay increased ― 2 → 3
    • Note: Overall nerf, but the reworked Rad Bloon's On Turn Start partially negates this nerf
  •   Effect and description changed ― "Your Hero's Passive Awesomeness ability can trigger an additional time" → "On Turn Start: Gain one Rad Token"
  •   Base Health reduced ― 70 → 60
  •   Bonus Health per Rad Token reduced ― +70 → +60
  •   No longer displays the icon for Basic Bloons instead of Large Bloons (undocumented) (bug fix)
  •   Now animates when receiving a buff
