Card Battle (also written as Card Battles) is a game mode in the mobile version of Bloons TD Battles introduced in version 3.6. In this mode, instead of choosing a loadout of towers and powers and using Bloon sends, each player uses cards that can either be played on the player's side to place towers or on the opponent's side to send Bloons. There are also Power Cards that have unique effects. It is treated as a variant of Assault mode[fn 1] and can only be played in Arenas in Quick Battle. It uses its own Arena rotation, where Random Trio is replaced with Random Cards! and ZOMG Superdome is unavailable.

Gameplay

edit

Each player has a deck of 15 cards and 5 cards in their hand at all times. Playing a card immediately adds the next card to the player's hand and the played card cycles back into the deck. Players can play regular cards on their side to play it as a tower, or play it on the opponent's side to play it as a Bloon. Towers come with preset upgrade combinations and cannot be upgraded further once placed. Bloons are similar to Bloon sends in that they can only be played after a certain number of rounds, and each one has different Bloon Mods, spacing, quantities, costs, and income modifiers. Power Cards do not have towers or Bloons, instead triggering a unique effect when played. The player can also discard cards at the cost of $50 and applying a 4-second delay before the next card can be used.
