Zee Jay is a Hero in Bloons Card Storm, introduced in version 3.0. He can be unlocked from the Store by purchasing him for 2,000 Monkey Money or by purchasing the Zee Jay Hero Bundle for real money.
Zee Jay's abilities support a variety of different playstyles, despite his lack of immediate defense. He gains a unique resource called Rad Tokens by playing Bloons, which are spent to buff Monkeys or summon a special Rad Bloon.
Passive Awesomeness — The first Bloon summoned on Zee Jay's side each round grants 1 Rad Token and gains 20 Health. Bloons summoned by the Storm count for the previous turn instead of the current turn. This passive ability has no Bloontonium requirement.
Rad Enhancements — Costs 1 Rad Token and 3 Bloontonium, and allows him to temporarily grant +25 Attack Power to a target Monkey until the start of his next turn. It cannot be used if Zee Jay has no Rad Tokens.
Rad Bloon Time! — Costs all of his Rad Tokens and 10 Bloontonium, summoning a Rad Bloon with health equal to 60 times the number of Rad Tokens removed (which can trigger Passive Awesomeness). Each Rad Bloon in play generates one Rad Token at the start of each turn. It cannot be used if Zee Jay has no Rad Tokens.
This strategy section is empty or incomplete. See the strategy guidelines for more information on how to write strategy sections.
Zee Jay is designed to be a hero for tempo strategies. By planning each round to accumulate Rad Tokens steadily, and utilize abilities with care, a smart Zee Jay user will be able to overwhelm their opponent or exhaust their resources.
He works well with aggro and midrange decks. Due to his complete lack of direct defense, Zee Jay is not suitable for control decks. Instead, most of his power will come from taking advantage of his Rad Tokens to maximize his Rad Bloons. He is also effective in OTK strategies that involve multiple Quick Ready, Quincy Action Figure for extra cash, and Double Trouble.
Tips
Unlike most Heroes, Zee Jay is not very dependent on Bloontonium, unless wanting to use Rad Bloon very often.
If he plays a Pink Bloon as the first bloon, it will guarantee +20 (120 face value without Defenders, Adora's passive, or Hero Protection), assuming no Ability Ban. Hence, Pink Bloons as finishers are effective in Zee Jay decks.
Unlike most aggro strategies, Zee Jay aggro works best in a pure bloon deck, not with bloon-specific combos like Bolstered Bloon or Bloon Embiggen. Swarm and normal bloons should still be part of the deck, plus Pinks as finishers. For powers, Bloontonium Cache provides a vital headstart at making Rad Bloons.
Booster Bloon not only acts like a Power, it's a Bloon, so it also will synergize with Zee Jay's passive.
Note: Overall nerf, but the reworked Rad Bloon's On Turn Start partially negates this nerf
Rad Bloon: Effect and description changed ― "Your Hero's Passive Awesomeness ability can trigger an additional time" → "On Turn Start: Gain one Rad Token"
Description now uses the abbreviation "ATK" instead of "Attack Power"
Development
Zoom-Jam's portrait
The test builds of Bloons Card Storm included text, code, and placeholder images for an unused Hero named Zoom-Jam (also referred to as Bloondoggle in some file names). This Hero had icons depicting him as a clown monkey and had the description "Shields Bloons and has other tricks up his sleeves". His abilities were repurposed for Amelia the Amazing in the final game, with some tweaks.

Zee Jay appears to be based on this Hero, as this Hero's internal ID, ZoomJam, was replaced with ZeeJay in version 3.0, and the file name for Zee Jay Special's card art in the official Bloons Card Storm asset pack is ZoomJamSpecial.png.[1]
