Economy Drain is an Advanced Power card in Bloons Card Storm introduced in version 6.0. It reduces both players' economy by up to 3. Economy cannot go lower than 0.
The card artwork depicts Monkeys in business suits reacting to a stock market crash. Papers are thrown everywhere, most screens feature charts that have a downward trend, and the monkeys have mixed reactions.
Tips
- For only 2 Gold, Economy Drain chokes the base eco of both players. Farm-based loadouts (including tempo Farm loadouts) are less affected by Economy Drain. Most decks rely on base eco to gain Gold, and this card is especially favorable in aggro.
- Conveniently, a normal Banana Farm earns 2 Gold at the start of a turn; an Economy Drain can be bought the following turn.
- Some cards and their combinations that cost between 8 to 10 Gold are affected a lot by Economy Drain, preventing cards being guaranteed to be affordable next turn when it'd normally be max eco. Notable examples include Super Monkey Storm and Double Trouble.
- Certain combinations of Gold costs that normally would be affordable next turn would suddenly not be. A notable example is, inclusively, affording two Quick Ready when the opponent has between 4 and 6 Gold.
- Aggro can use Economy Drain to make the enemy unable to afford powerful anti-Aggro options, such as Frag Bomb Shooter, Super Monkey, Bionic Boomerang, and more. Keep an eye of how much money the opponent spends and saves to find the right time to use this card.
Development
This card originally reduced economy by 5, but it was lowered to 3 before the update released due to feedback from community playtesters.[1] The original amount was displayed in the update video.[2]
