Avoid leaking to this Bloon, or else it will summon a Ceramic Bloon for much less cost. Thus, the Precursor Bloon works best if the opponent cannot afford anything to damage it.
If it's sent on Round 1, up to 2 Gold is needed to defend.
Barrel of Monkeys (two on Dark Castle) or two Dart Monkey Twins (necessary for the neighbor bonus) are easy ways to stop a Precursor Bloon from spawning offspring.
If the opponent only relies on targetable Monkeys, Must Pop Bloons such as Target Practice Blimp or Sentinel Bloon may prevent them from destroying a Precursor Bloon.
Any board clear can neutralize the Precursor Bloon's effect, unless that Bloon is Armored.
