Buddy Bloon

This article is in need of research. You can help out by editing this article or discussing your findings on the talk page. The editor who added this notice elaborates: Does Buddy Bloon neutralise secondary damage effects like Tripshot's lateral darts? For sure Arcane Master bonus bolts because that's attached to the main attack.

The Buddy Bloon is an Advanced Bloon card in Bloons Card Storm. It starts with 150 Shield when it is played and it reduces the Attack Power of the opponent's Monkey with the most Attack Power to zero while it is in play. If multiple Monkeys have the same Attack Power, it prioritizes the first placed Monkey. It does not negate indirect damage effects, including On Fire (namely from Burny Stuff Mortar).

Tips

• Freeing the neutralised Monkey via popping the Buddy Bloon is difficult without the support of Powers or other Monkeys. Unless it can surely be popped within 3 turns, focusing damage on it is useless.
• Towers affected by Buddy Bloon can be affected by Bed Time.
• Best used for countering very high damage monkeys, notably Sun Temple and The Big One.
• If the opponent tries to rely on a Defender to damage bloons after their turn, Buddy Bloon can be used to negate it (provided it's the highest AP Monkey), and also waste its ammo.
• There are two ways to reliably neutralize a Buddy Bloon: Overload (destroys 100 or less HP bloon) or Energy Overload (destroys shielded bloon).
