Defense Prep Bloon is an Advanced Bloon card in Bloons Card Storm, introduced in version 5.0. Its armor reduces damage taken by 15, and if the player has zero Gold and any Monkeys at the end of their turn, it reloads a random friendly Monkey. This On Turn End effect always triggers after Mortars, but before Temporary Monkeys disappear.

The card artwork depicts two shy monkeys hiding behind a Defense Prep Bloon. Surrounding them all is a lot of barbed wire at a desert.

Tips

This article or section is outdated and needs to be updated to reflect recent updates or newly available information. You can help out by editing this article. The editor who added this notice elaborates: Possibly better in v6.4

This section was last updated for: version 6.1

• Defense Prep Bloon rewards players that spend exactly all their Gold in a single turn. Note that most Monkeys, except Defenders, will not be able to use their Ammo until the player's next turn begins.
• The Bloon itself is less of a threat if Armor Piercing is available, but it's difficult to destroy with only low-damage Monkeys.
• Defense Prep Bloon’s ammo refill can save empty ammo Temporary monkeys from disappearing.
• Booster Bloon helps the Defense Prep Bloon last longer, both increasing delay and improving Health.
• Avoid attacking with 1 reload monkeys if you want Defense Prep Bloon to have a higher chance of hitting a high reload Monkey.
• Its capability to reload Temporary Monkeys is helpful on things like Shinobi Tactics Ninja and Corvus Academy of Arts.

Update history

Version 6.0

•  Health increased ― 80 → 100

Version 6.4

“

This makes it last on the field for longer, so you can use its effect more, and its increased health makes it a little bit more hard to pop. This Bloon generally is a little bit hard to 'fix' entirely because its effect is random, but the amount of health and delay that it has will hopefully make it a little bit better by allowing it to sit on the field for longer and proc its effect a little more.

”

•  Health increased ― 100 → 130
•  Delay increased ― 3 → 4
  • Note: Increases the rounds it can last for the reload effect, but makes it slower to hit the Hero

Development

Version 6.4 has reworked Defense Prep Bloon as an overall buff to its support role. While its fundamental mechanics are hard to balance, these changes let it proc the effect more often.
