The ARBITR (short for Aerial Response Bloon Invasion Target Restrictor) is a Large Bloon card in Bloons Card Storm, introduced in version 4.0. While in play, it prevents the opponent's Bloons from attacking at the end of the opponent's turn when they have zero Delay, and Bloons at zero Delay stay at zero Delay.

As this Bloon has infinite delay, it cannot be affected by delay modifiers (e.g. Quick Ready, Slowing Bloon), and always stays towards the back of the queue.

Tips

• If the opponent is about to win next turn, ARBITR can prevent it, assuming the opponent lacks burst damage or removals against the ARBITR. Use it to temporarily stop the opponent's board, gain turns to defend, and send your own counterrushes if possible.
  • Don't get complacent with the ARBITR; the opponent may still try to pop or remove it. For instance, Robo Monkey with at least one damage buff can pop an unbuffed ARBITR with 3 or less ammo, and Sticky Bomb is a cheap counter. Long Range Rang can chip its HP gradually but consistently.
  • Some decks, including aggro decks, may add ARBITR as an anti-aggro Bloon. Have some Monkeys in a deck to limit the opportunity to lose all aggression.
  • In a pinch versus the Storm, you can use ARBITR just before the round that many Pink Bloons would spawn.
• Bloon removers versus ARBITR include Return to Sender, Bloon Redirect (150 HP or less), Gwendolin's Extreme Heat, and Bloon Master Alchemist (though Monkey-specific Bloon removers can be countered by having Target Practice Blimp). MOAB Eliminator can also work in an emergency.
  • Dreadbloon has Wrath of Dread to remove ARBITR.
• HP buffs (e.g. Improved Fortification and Booster Bloon) and Armor buffs (e.g. Lead Casing) allow the ARBITR to withstand more damage, but watch out for a Bloon removal.
• ARBITR can be added in a deck as a bait to force the opponent to use up their board clears (especially Super Monkey Storm) and Bloon removers.
  • Adding Target Practice Blimp and multiple standard Large Bloons (e.g. BFBs) can force the opponent to mutually exclusively focus on getting rid of either or the ARBITR.
• Not having a board clear may cause certain Bloons with On Turn End/Start effects (e.g. Steady Growth Bloon, Lead Coating Bloon) to actually benefit from the opposing ARBITR.
