Step-by-Step Guide on Crafting Cards in Bloons Card Storm

Bloons Card Storm features a complex crafting mechanism due to the variety of icons and premium currency, combined with a selection of Bloons heroes available within the game. While this multitude of icons might seem overwhelming for new players, the crafting system itself closely resembles what you would find in most digital card collectible games available today. Below is a detailed guide on how to create cards and understand all token systems in Bloons Card Storm.

Within Bloons Card Storm, players can access a vast array of cards predominantly featuring iconic monkey towers and bloons from previous games in the series. To view these, navigate to the collection page through the main menu. To start crafting, simply hover over your desired card, select it, and click on the tokens button located at the bottom right of the screen. Ensure that “Show Uncrafted” is activated, situated beneath your available cash and Universal Tokens, to see all cards including those you have yet to acquire.

There are several card categories, and the system for determining card rarity can be somewhat unconventional, with various emblems or icons displayed for each card. Nonetheless, understanding the rarity and associated crafting costs is straightforward:

Common – 300 Tokens
Uncommon – 800 Tokens
Rare – 1500 Tokens
Epic – 3500 Tokens
Legendary – 15000 Tokens

Each card will display a crafting value beneath it, which indicates how many tokens you need to gather to create that card. The types of tokens you will encounter include:

Basic, Advanced, and Large Bloon Tokens
Basic, Advanced, and Exotic Power Tokens
Military Monkey Tokens
Support Monkey Tokens
Primary Monkey Tokens
Magic Monkey Tokens
Universal Tokens

Due to the variety of token types available, many players perceive the game as leaning towards a pay-to-win model, as obtaining the rarest cards through free play seems nearly impossible. The likelihood of acquiring the necessary tokens multiple times through gameplay alone is exceedingly low. Players might find themselves needing to spend money on Universal Tokens to secure the specific tokens required for crafting.

For players opting to experience the game without spending money, here are steps to effectively collect tokens for card crafting:

Complete all daily and weekly missions to accrue as much in-game cash as possible.
Regularly check the daily deals shop and purchase specific tokens when they are available using in-game currency.
Aim to achieve Feats or Milestones to earn additional cash and tokens.
Continue this cycle until you gather enough tokens to craft your desired cards and finish building your deck.

This process can span several weeks, and in some cases, even months if there are multiple legendary or exotic cards needed to complete a player’s deck.
