Bloontonium (BCS)

For other uses, see Bloontonium (disambiguation).

Bloontonium is a resource in Bloons Card Storm that is primarily used for Hero abilities. The player earns Bloontonium by playing Bloon cards, and some cards have effects that add or remove Bloontonium. Unspent Bloontonium carries over between turns. Each player has a cap on the amount of Bloontonium they can save, which depends on the Hero. Visually, abilities that do not meet the required Bloontonium will become darkened. Active Abilities cost Bloontonium to use, while Passive Abilities remain active as long as the player's hero has enough Bloontonium.

When the player plays a Bloon card, that player's Hero gains Bloontonium equal to the amount of Gold spent to play the Bloon. This is affected by card effects that alter a Bloon card's Gold cost, such as the effects from Discount Bloon, Setup Bloon, and For My Next Trick. Some cards that summon Bloons also generate Bloontonium as a result, such as Reinflated, Double Trouble (if the target generated Bloontonium when it was played), or Bloon Amalgamation.

Certain Power cards require spending Bloontonium instead of Gold. Some card effects treat cards that cost Bloontonium differently when calculating the "cost" of the card (e.g. Fast and Loose's up to 3 Gold benefit, Nature's Clarity's shield gains per cost).
