Extractor Bloon is a Basic Bloon card in Bloons Card Storm, introduced in version 3.0. It starts with 50 Shield and gains 10 health each time a Bloon on the opponent's side takes damage. It does not trigger if a Bloon with Armor takes zero damage from a hit. Self-inflicted bloon damage from the opponent (e.g. Damaged MOAB, Quincy using Arrow Shot on his own bloons) also count for health boosting.

Tips

This article was last updated for: version 6.0
  • Extractor Bloon rewards players for doing lots of individual hits to enemy Bloons. It's as slow as MOABs and BFBs, but deadly when allowed to build its health. It's more of a midrange's version of Bolstered Bloon but boosted by attacking enemy bloons, rather than playing friendly Bloons. Due to its low initial health and difficult scaling method, it is often reccomended to use Damaged MOAB in decks over it instead.
    • Extractor can be a threat if not dealt with while sending Bloons, but due to its high delay you often have time to prepare for it. Extractor Bloon is best dealt with when it’s low on health. Waiting for it to scale can make it much more difficult to kill.
  • Spike Storm!, Blade Maelstrom and Glaive Ricochet gives lots of HP if the opponent has plenty of bloons.
  • Adora with Bloontonium Miners and Mine Supervisors can allow her to consistently build up her orbs, so she can keep scaling Extractor Bloon every round once she reaches high enough orbs.
  • Quincy with his passive and a Red Bloon Apopalypse can keep feeding the Extractor, granting up to +70 HP with the passive alone.
  • Return to Sender is an effective way to stop an Extractor Bloon from scaling too much.

Update history

  •   Now starts with 50 Shield
“
Extractor Bloon, although it wants to scale, had just such high delay that it really was [...] basically a non-threat. With a lower delay, Extractor Bloon is a little easier to extract out of your enemy's Bloons and then actually [...] get off a decent Extractor, instead of an Extractor that does nothing because they could afford one extra turn. So, it's a little bit easier to use now, and it is generally a bit more threatening.

Trivia

  • Extractor Bloon is one of the few Bloons to have a unique animation when its health increases. Unlike most bloons, which simply bounce, or Double Bloons, which all fistpump their own fist-like Bloons, if the Extractor Bloon gains health (even if not from its own effect), its vents open briefly, appearing similar to an equals sign.
