Bolstered Bloon is an Advanced Bloon card in Bloons Card Storm. It starts with 50 Shield when it is played and it gains 25 Health each time the player plays a Bloon. Some actions that spawn Bloons on the player's side, like the Storm and Nested Bloons, do not trigger this effect.
Tips
- Due to its slower speed, Bolstered Bloon generally is a less effective Bloon than other options. Bolstered Bloon can be a threat when combined with many bloons. Spamming multiple cheap bloons is an easy way to accumulate extra health for the Bolstered Bloon.
- It is best to wait to have other bloons in your hand when playing Bolstered Bloon to ensure that it isn't instantly popped after it is played.
- Bolstered Bloon is best used in Aggro decks, many of which include lots of cards with cheap, spammable bloons. Generally, the best moment to start Bolstered Bloon is Round 3 (Round 2 on High Finance) and follow up with as many cheap-costing bloons as possible.
- Having at least two other bloons will ensure that double Storm Of Arrows won't guarantee hitting the Bolstered Bloon twice.
- Keep in mind that countering a Bolstered Bloon in the early-game is not very difficult. Hero Protection or Return to Sender can counteract the damage from a highly boosted Bolstered Bloon.
- Bolstered Bloon falls off quickly, as saving up for a turn or two allows players to have better access to expensive board clears such as Thunder Druid and burst damage such as Super Monkey.
- Versus an Aggro mirror, Bolstered Bloon is generally worse than other options. It relies a lot on luck, depending largely on beginning with Reds and Bolstered, and generally has a worse reward than cards like Blooming Bloon.
- Running Zombie Bloons can help Bolstered grow quickly with repeated triggers. Run them over Nested Bloons as they provide more value.
