Lead Coating Bloon is an Advanced Blooncard in Bloons Card Storm, introduced in version 4.0. Its armor reduces all damage taken by 20, and it grants +5 Armor to all other friendly Bloons at the end of the player's turn. If the player has no other Bloons, the effect does not apply. It triggers after On Fire damages friendly Bloons, Amelia the Amazing's Bloon Shield triggers, and Acid Pools deal damage.

The On Turn End effect of Lead Coating Bloon combined with its own high Armor makes all of the Bloons more resistant to low damage attacks, such as masses of Barrel of Monkeys and Adora's Orbs. Use Armor Piercing to limit the application of Armor.
Lead Coating Bloon itself resists damage from many attacks, including the chip damage of On Fire and normal Acid Pools. Use high damage, or Armor Piercing (e.g. Bomb Shooter) to break its Armor.
Cards such as Improved Fortification and Booster Bloon may be useful, as to increase the amount of turns this card is on the board, although to minimal effect.
Some cards can one-shot the Lead Coating Bloon without needing Armor Piercing. Storm Of Arrows and Super Monkey Storm are among the not Ultra Rare cards to do this.
Lead Coating Bloon and its On Turn Effect can be used to build up a Armor Powered Bloon.
Due to its Common rarity, which lets it be unlocked sooner, Lead Coating Bloon is commonly run and is difficult to counter for most newbie decks.
The high amount of armor was annoying for casual players, but the low amount of health was really bad for competitive players, so this rework aims to card a lot less annoying but a little stronger by having [...] a huge health increase offset by the decreased amount of armor. Now, it's a lot easier to chip this thing down for casual players, and it's a lot harder to actually ignore this thing for competitive players due to it having a much more significant amount of health if ignored. — u/No-Appearance1780's commentary, 18:49–19:13 (with most disfluencies removed)

Development
Version 6.4's rework to Lead Coating Bloon makes it survive better against most types of damage.[1] It should be noted that its Common rarity made it a common pick by newer players and Ranked ("Ladder") players.[2] Overall, the new Lead Coating Bloon became more useful for competitive gameplay while being less of a nuisance in casual gameplay.[1]
