Bloon (BCS)

An army of Discount Bloons

Bloons are a type of card in Bloons Card Storm and are the main way of dealing damage to the opponent's Hero. When played, they appear on the player's Bloon track and start a countdown that lowers at the end of each turn. The opponent can attack the player's Bloons with their Monkeys to reduce their health. If a Bloon's delay reaches zero, the Bloon attacks the opponent's Hero, dealing as much damage as it has health remaining. Each player can have up to 8 Bloons queued on their Bloon track at a time; if the track is full, the player cannot play any more Bloon cards, and new Bloons cannot be added to by any other means, such as by the Storm.

Bloons are the only cards that can have Double Attack, On Damaged, or On Destroyed effects.

Mechanics

Delay

Several BFBs of various delay. The player's first BFB (left) is at 0 delay.

The Delay of a Bloon is the number of turns it takes for the Bloon to attack the opposing Hero. If a Bloon has zero Delay, it attacks at the end of the controlling player's turn (but after taking On Fire damage if it has the effect). Otherwise, the delay decrements by 1 at the end of their turn. Bloons on the track are ordered by lowest Delay first. If multiple Bloons have the same Delay, they are ordered by the order they were played in, oldest first. This persists if a Bloon's Delay is modified: for example, if the player uses Quick Ready on a Bloon with 2 Delay, it will move ahead of other Bloons with 1 Delay that were placed after it was placed.

If a Bloon is stunned (e.g. Shell Shock Mortar), the Bloon will not be able to naturally decrease its delay for 1 turn, nor attack the opponent's Hero, but can still have its delay reduced by other ways.

Health

The health of a Bloon is the amount of damage it can take. When its Delay is exhausted, its remaining health is the amount of damage it deals to the opponent's Hero. Bloons can have their health increased with certain Bloons and Powers; if a card says it "gains health" or applies "+<amount> health" (e.g. Steady Growth Bloon or Fortify), then it can increase its health beyond the amount it started with when it was played, but if a card says it "heals" the Bloon (e.g. Healing Bloon or Max Heal), then it cannot increase its health above the starting amount. If a Bloon has more health than it started with when it was played, its health number is displayed in green.

Charge

This article or section needs more screenshots. See the screenshot guidelines for more information on what screenshots are needed and how to add them. The editor that added this notice elaborates: Add a highlighted Bloon card with 2 or more charges

The charge of a card indicates how many of this card can be played before it is fully used up. These are indicated by coin icons on the top-left of a card. Bloon cards can have between 1 to 4 charges (Discount Bloon having the most). Swarm Bloons (e.g. Swarm Red Bloon) have an extra charge compared to their non-swarm counterparts.

Classes

Bloons come in three card classes: Basic, Advanced, and Large. There are no clear rules governing how Bloons are classified, though there are some characteristics that are more common among certain classes.

• Basic — These Bloons typically have low base health and low costs, and sometimes a basic property.
• Advanced — These Bloons tend to have average health and an effect, low health and an effect that increases health, or high health and no effect. Certain types of Advanced Bloon have special properties that are more flexible than those from Basic Bloons.
• Large — These Bloons tend to have very high health, high Delay, and high costs. The majority of these Bloons are dirigibles, similar to the MOAB-Class Bloons in other Bloons games, though some are elliptical like typical Bloons.

Certain cards can only affect Bloons with certain classes. For instance:

• Basic Bloons can be drawn with Bloon Reinforcements!.
• Any card that targets "non-Large" Bloons (e.g. Max Heal, Bombs Away) can only target Basic and Advanced Bloons.
• Large Bloons can be slowed by Crippling Sniper and MOAB Dominator, targeted by Sticky Bomb, destroyed by MOAB Eliminator, and drawn by Signal Bloon.

Keywords

Black Bloon on the queue with its card selected, showing its On Destroyed keyword

Bloons that contain keyword(s) have special properties, many of which require activation under certain conditions. Any keywords of a Bloon are displayed on its card information, and is usually formatted as "<keyword>: <information>" or "<keyword>" on the card text. Most keywords are also displayed by icons that represent them.

Currently, Bloons may possess the following keywords:

• Armor
• Double Attack
• Immobile
• Immobile
• On Damaged
• On Destroyed
• On Fire
• On Leak
• On Play
• On Popped
• On Reload
• On Turn End
