Clever Yellow Bloon is a Basic Bloon card in Bloons Card Storm, introduced in version 4.0. When played, if the previous card played by the player was a Monkey, it restores up to 70 health for the player's Hero.

The card art depicts a Clever Yellow Bloon healing Striker Jones with a white bandage at the High Finance map from Bloons Card Storm.

Tips

This section was last updated for: version 6.1
  • Clever Yellow Bloon can add tempo to aggro if followed previously by a Monkey card. The only downsides are 20 less HP than a normal Yellow Bloon, higher rarity (Rare instead of Common), and 30 less heal per card compared to Quick Break if using the Clever function, but it can be equipped alongside normal Yellows to increase likelihood of drawing Yellows.
    • It can be used without the Clever function as a rush, but it has the same Health as Swarm Yellow Bloon for one less charge, thus is not recommended unless certain it will cripple the opponent.
  • Using multi-charge Monkey cards such as Barrel of Monkeys is recommended with Clever Yellows, for more opportunities to trigger the Clever function.
    • Bomb Bloons can be sent to produce up to 2 Bomb Shooters, which are cheap (only 2 Gold), and conveniently with 2 charges.
  • Clever Yellows can be run in Boss Battles as both Boss damage and Hero healing. Use it primarily for additional healing with a deck consisting of mostly Monkeys.
  • Like all Clever Bloons, check the card history while playing the game to verify if your last played card was actually a Monkey.
  • Not using the Clever function should only be used if certain that the extra 110 Health 1-delay Bloon would cause a major threat to the opponent's side, or if your Hero already has high Health and only wanted to gain Bloontonium for important thresholds (e.g. Adora's Ultimate Sacrifice, Striker Jones's Ammo Stores), or if building up Zee Jay's Rad Tokens is more important.

Update history

  • Nerf Health reduced ― 120 → 110
  • Nerf On Play heal to Hero reduced ― 80 → 70

Development

This card originally had 30 Health heal to the Hero upon activating the Clever effect. However, when the update was released, this was increased to 80 Health. The old stats were shown in the April 23rd 2025 dev diary.[1]

During the Version 5.2 playtest, Ninja Kiwi proposed a nerf to the Clever Yellow's Health to 100, but has since been changed to 110. The proposed nerf to the Clever function's Hero heal was unchanged.
