The Precursor Bloon is a Basic Bloon card in Bloons Card Storm, introduced in version 5.0. If it leaks, it summons a Ceramic Bloon.

Tips

This section was last updated for: version 5.0
  • 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 leaking.
  • 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. An exception is if it's Armored, which is resistant to Spike Storm!
  • In aggro, if you have both Blooming Bloon and Precursor in your hand, sending the Blooming Bloon first is recommended, as the opponent may be hiding cheap Monkeys.
  • The Ceramic that spawns effectively has 3 delay relative to the opponent. More importantly, a 2-delay Monkey such as Alchemist Monkey can attack it up to two times before it leaks.

Trivia

  • The flavor text is a reference to the quote "Life, uh, finds a way", which originates from the film Jurassic Park.
  • Precursor Bloon is the first Bloon, and currently the only one, that can summon a Bloon that's not in its own class; the Ceramic Bloon is an Advanced Bloon.
