Unused Heroes

This article has a talk page!
view on tcrf.net

This is a sub-page of Proto:Bloons Card Storm/Full Playable test.

Several heroes go unused in the full playtest, with some of them clearly rough and incomplete.

Amelia the Amazing#

(The files indicate that the original name for this hero was the Bloonifer)

Icons#

Full Playable Test

Final Release

Amelia had a quite different, more sinister witch design in this beta. She had green fur instead of white fur, a crooked staff instead a magic wand, and a witch hat with a Bloon emblem instead of a magician hat with cards in front.

Card Portraits#

Full Playable Test

Final Release

Much simpler and clearly incomplete, with background effects reminiscent of the attacks from Bloons TD 6 hero Ezili.

Abilities#

Full Playable Test

Final Release

Bloon Shield: On Turn End: Last friendly Bloon gains {ShieldAmount} Shield

The icon is a recolored graphic from the Acid Pool upgrade for the Bloons TD 6 Alchemist, with a bloon over it. The ability's effect is simpler; rather than giving the last bloon in line a shield when the player's turn ends, it simply heals a bloon that the player directs it to heal.

Final Release

Act of Power: Your next Power Card costs 4 less (minimum 0)

Icon uses the Rejuv Potion from Geraldo's Shop in Bloons TD 6. Ability effect simply spawns a yellow bloon rather than decreasing chosen power card cost by 4.

Full Playable Test

Final Release

Grand Disappearance: Remove target Monkey

Icon is a MOAB with a cyan outline. Ability effect spawns a weaker than normal (250 < 450) MOAB rather than removing a tower the player chooses.

Materials#

BCS-EziliDiffuse2nd.png
Uses the texture of the Bloons TD 6 Hero Ezili as a placeholder. Model is very incomplete and broken.

Zoom-Jam#

(The files indicate that the original name for this hero was the Bloondoggle)

Icon#

Shields Bloons and has other tricks up his sleeves
Completely unused, and not in the final release. This hero takes the appearance of a circus clown juggling Bloon-like objects. Most of its abilities were grafted onto the hero Amelia the Amazing for the final release.

Card Portrait#

Perfectly Planted Props
Clearly unfinished, with the Hero's icon intact.

Abilities#

As mentioned earlier, most of the ability effects are identical to the Amelia the Amazing abilities in the final release, meaning that they were taken from them.

On Turn End: Gives a random friendly Bloon {ShieldAmount} Shield
Icon is a placeholder, being from the Bloons TD 6 upgrade Monkey Commerce for the Monkey Village. Alternate effect of the Bloon Shield ability that the Amelia the Amazing would have in the final release, which gives a random player Bloon a shield rather than the last player Bloon to spawn.

Your next Power Card costs 0
Stronger version of the Act of Power ability that the Amelia hero would get in the final release, which makes the next Power Card cost drop to 0 regardless of its previous cost rather than making the next Power Card drop by 4.

Removes target Monkey
Icon is a placeholder, being the Bloons TD 6 Emergency Unlock ability icon for the Dartling Gunner. Identical effect to the Grand Disappearance ability that the Amelia hero would get in the final release.

Materials#

BCS-PsiDiffuse.png
Uses the texture of the Bloons TD 6 Hero Psi as a placeholder. Model is very incomplete and broken.

Adora#

Icon#

Hero of Light
A lot more complete than previous heroes on this page, likely because they are a preexisting hero from Bloons TD 6 and not a new one made for this game.

Card Portrait#

Enlighten!
The card is a similar style to the other Bloons TD 6 heroes in this build, respectively.

Abilities#

As expected, all of Adora's icons are recycled from Bloons TD 6, much like other Bloons TD 6 heroes in this build.

Deal {FirstAbilityDamage} damage to an enemy Bloon, repeat {TriggerCount} more times
Uses Adora's The Long Arm of Light ability icon from Bloons TD 6.

On Turn End: Gain {HealAmount} Health
Uses Adora's Ball of Light ability icon from Bloons TD 6.

Remove Target friendly Monkey, Heal Adora for {HealthAmount}
Uses Adora's Blood Sacrifice ability icon from Bloons TD 6.

Materials#

BCS-AdoraDiffuse.png
Uses textures very similar to their Bloons TD 6 textures, much like the other Bloons TD 6 heroes. But unlike other heroes, they appear to not have unique textures, as they are strictly ripped from BTD6. Below is a rough restoration of the model for demonstration.

Sound Effects#

Sounds for when a battle starts...
...and when lives are lost.
