Try this! is an Exotic Power card in Bloons Card Storm, introduced in version 2.0. The target Monkey gains 1 max Ammo and additionally gains a free shot. This does not count as reloading and does not trigger any On Reload effects, nor does it reset the timer for the next reload if the target is currently reloading. If a monkey was reloading when Try this! is used, the reload counter does not progress until the Monkey is out of Ammo again.

Tips

  • Try this! benefits Monkeys with only 1 Ammo the most. Good targets for Try this! include:
    • The Big One, allowing it to deal up to 560 damage at the end of a turn.
    • Spike-o-Pult, allowing it to ramp up twice as fast provided that there are enough Bloons on the field.
    • Wizard Monkey, essentially doubling up its scaled power.
    • Burny Stuff Mortar, giving it more chances to set opposing Bloons On Fire, particularly for Gwendolin decks.
  • Opponents who use Return to Sender, Shrink and Expert Negotiator may take advantage of Monkeys with Try this! to negate the investment.
    • If you have multiple of the same type of Monkey, it may be better to split Try This across multiple Monkeys if suspecting any monkey removal cards.
  • A lesser known feature of Try this! is immediately granting 1 extra shot to the targeted Monkey. For 1 less Gold than Quick Reload, Try this! acts as a "reload" to 1-Ammo Monkeys, in addition to the permanent max ammo bonus.
    • Because of this, a very niche tactic of Try this! is to use it an opponent Monkey with more than 1 Ammo, which will will delay the full reload by 1 turn, at the penalty of "helping" build more ammo.
