Adora, High Priestess is a Hero in Bloons Card Storm, introduced in version 2.0. She can be unlocked from the Store by purchasing her for 
2,000 or by purchasing the Adora Hero Bundle for real money.
Adora's playstyle is about strengthening her own offensive and defensive capabilites by gaining Bloontonium and sacrificing Monkeys. She has a unique resource called Orbs of Light that determines the damage her abilities deal. She starts with two Orbs of Light and can sacrifice Monkeys to gain more (up to a max of 8) and heal herself.
- Orbs of Light — Deals 30 damage to a Bloon for each Orb of Light she currently has. Each orb targets a random Bloon, though multiple orbs can target the same Bloon. This ability is also used by other abilities.
- Sun Shield — Passively activates Orbs of Light if a Bloon is about to attack her, after Defenders have acted. The Orbs of Light only target the attacking Bloon. This consumes 3 Bloontonium instead of 5. Visually, if this ability can be activated, she holds one of her palms towards the Bloons.
- Ultimate Sacrifice — Sacrifices a target Monkey on the player's side, triggers Orbs of Light for free, restores up to 150 health, and lastly grants her an additional Orb of Light (if she has less than 8). The life heal occurs before Sentinel Bloon's On Destroyed effect.

Strategy
editAdora's kit revolves around anti-burn tech that results in her being a very niche pick in competitive games. Her Sun Shield forces opponents to spend more time developing power in their OTK, which can be helpful in control scenarios against opponents like Zee Jay and Quincy's OTK decks. She also has great anti-burn deck potential with the ability to limit damage from early 0 delay Bloons such as Pink Bloons and heal back up to full health with her Ultimate Sacrifice ability.
Outside of these interactions, she is often outclassed by other control heroes such as Obyn Greenfoot, who can build up a respectable amount of shield to resist other OTK decks, as well as being more resistant to the opponent's cards.
Tips
edit- Playing with Adora
- Do not be afraid to get rid of your sun shield passive if you suspect no danger will come that turn.
- Keep weak monkeys in hand (or on board if needed early), such as Barrel of Monkeys, to use as fodder for sacrifices when needed. This will make your overall defense weaker, but allow room for healing up damage otherwise prevented by an extra Monkey.
- Sacrificing for orbs is generally not worth it alone, as it leaves you vulnerable until you get her sun shield up again. Try to time sacrifices to heal damage taken, and use Orbs of Light to deal damage to incoming Bloons if already full on Bloontonium.
- Facing against Adora
- OTK decks must factor in the damage done to their OTK Bloon by Sun Shield, ranging from 60 to 240 damage depending on how many orbs Adora has. Triple Threat Bloon OTK decks can build up shield to prevent damage, while Rad Bloon OTK decks may be forced to use Double Trouble to duplicate a 0 delay Rad to deal enough damage.
- Cards such as Haunting Night can prevent Adora from activating her Sun Shield that turn.
- Adora can only hit at most 3 Bloons with her Sun Shield. This allows certain aggro decks such as Swarm decks to absorb hits while the large Spooky Bloon or Bolstered Bloon hits her unscathed.

Development
edit
Adora existed in the data of Bloons Card Storm since the Firstlook test, though she went unused until version 2.0. Her original name was just "Adora" and her description was "Hero of Light". Version 2.0 replaced her placeholder assets with her final design, changed her full name and description, and replaced her abilities. Her original abilities were different and did not involve Orbs of Light.
