Expert Negotiator is an Advanced Power card in Bloons Card Storm. It steals a Monkey from the opponent's side and moves it to the player's side. If the player already has all 5 monkey slots filled, then Expert Negotiator will instead delete the monkey it is used on. If successfully transferred to the player's side, any On Play effects the Monkey has will trigger again. Because the stolen Monkey is now owned by the player, Return to Sender will return the card to the player, not the opponent.
The card art depicts Agent Jericho with a briefcase full of Monkey Money.
Tips
- Expert Negotiator is best used if your side has space, so you can take advantage of the monkey you stole. Otherwise, it is just a more expensive Shrink that lacks a Baby Monkey.
- Be careful if you steal a Sun Temple, because the Sun Temple can sacrifice your monkeys on your side too. However, Sun Temple will gain up to +100 Damage if it sacrifices all four of your other monkeys.
- For the best value, use Expert Negotiator on high-cost Monkeys that have high long-term value. Good candidates include: Jungle's Bounty Druid and Arcane Master, Wizard Monkeys that have been in play for a while, and Monkeys buffed with Try this!.
- If your enemy's side is swarmed with bloons, you can steal a Thunder Druid to trigger its effect, provided your side still has space.
- Favored Trade can be used for freeing up space for Expert Negotiator. Other viable alternatives include Adora's sacrifice ability. Parting Gift also works, but is a very expensive combo.
- Expert Negotiator is an expensive power. If the opponent is currently playing aggressive, stealing a Monkey that lacks defense or ammo on the current turn is unwise.
- After the stealing a Monkey, note that the opponent may have an Expert Negotiator to steal back a stolen Monkey. However, one of your Monkeys may be more valuable than that stolen Monkey.
- Keep a note of how many Expert Negotiators the opponent used; if they already used all 3, they will be forced to use other monkey removals to neutralize their stolen Monkeys.
Update history
- Description changed
Before Target Monkey joins your team After Target enemy Monkey joins your team
When Expert Negotiator is used, the Sun Temple no longer copies the attack power gained from the original sacrifice, instead it gains power equivalent with the amount of monkeys sacrificed on the side of the Expert Negotiator user (bug fix)
No longer causes Extra-Super Monkey and Even More Tacks to gain their bonuses per Gold spent again (bug fix)
