• Dartling Gunner! After a long time in design and development, we are delighted to present the BTD6 version of this multipurpose beast tower!

Dart Monkey

We’re happy enough with most of Dart Monkey’s bottom path, but the T4 stepping stone has always felt pretty undesirable for the price point compared to T3 so we have just increased the attack rate slightly at tier 4

• xx4 Sharpshooter reload time reduced from 0.95 to 0.85s
• xx5 Crossbow Master reload time remains unchanged

Boomerang Monkey

MOAB Press still feels dominant but not wildly outpacing other options so a small price increase has been made

• xx4 MOAB Press price increased from 2000 to 2200

Bomb Shooter

Some low tier Bomb pierce has been shifted further up into the 2xx Heavy Bombs upgrade to effectively nerf 130 Mauler meta in price, but the price of these upgrades and MOAB Damage of T4 Maulers have both been buffed to benefit other variations of bomb better. Bloon Impact’s price was increased as it didn’t need to benefit from this buff, and a buff was made to 502’s Bloon Impact’s frags to alter this underused crosspath.

• 000 base pierce reduced from 18 to 14
• 1xx Bigger Bombs pierce bonus reduced from 10 to 6
• 1xx Bigger Bombs price reduced from 400 to 350
• 2xx Heavy Bombs now increases pierce by a further +10
• 2xx Heavy Bombs price reduced from 800 to 650
• 4xx Bloon Impact price increased from 3200 to 3600
• x4x MOAB Assassin MOAB damage bonus increased from 25 to 30
• 502 Bloon Crush frag damage increased from 3 -> 12
• 502 Bloon Crush frag pierce increased from 2 -> 3

Tack Shooter

Ring of Fire doesn’t perform well for the price as a low-range AoE tower with no single target advantage. Since we value the original design intent as low range AoE, we’ve lowered the price to remain a viable choice.

• 4xx Ring of Fire price reduced from 4500 to 3500

Glue Gunner

Glue Strike currently allows for 240 crosspath to hit MOABs with 042 being more Ceramic focused but losing the Glue Soak from top path hurts against lower layers, so we’ve increased the base amount of layers glued by Strike & Storm so that it won’t expire on non-MOABs so quickly. Additional changes are a follow up reduction to The Bloon Solver’s price and a small increase to MOAB Glue’s price due to dominance in conjunction with MOAB Press.

• 5xx The Bloon Solver price reduced from 24000 to 22000
• 040 Glue Strike ability layers glued increased from 3 to 6
• 050 Glue Storm ability layers glued increased from 3 to 9
• xx3 MOAB Glue price increased from 3200 to 3400

Sniper Monkey

Trading off rate of fire for shrapnel crosspath doesn’t work well for Maim MOAB as it’s all about being a stall tower, so instead of focussing on a damage increase here the shrapnel will now apply the benefits of the sniper’s stun & debuff to turn this crosspath choice into a question of preference in grouping vs single target. Bouncing Bullet has also had its shrapnel pierce increased as it was the only T3 sniper that did not have 3 pierce shrapnel.

• 420 Maim MOAB shrapnel fragments now also benefit from stun
• 520 Cripple MOAB shrapnel fragments now also benefit from stun and debuff
• 030 Shrapnel pierce increased from 2 to 3

Monkey Sub

Ballistic Missile previously had far too much attack speed added into the crosspath and was rebalanced for parity, but the overall performance loss from this was too much. Better balance will come from the base rate of Ballistic Missile itself.

• x3x Ballistic Missile missile reload time reduced from 1.5 to 1.3s

Monkey Buccaneer

Most of the early Buccaneer’s strength comes from grapes, so to make it a little easier to start we’ve moved some cost from the base tower into Grape Shot. On that same note, we’ve piled on a bunch of bonus power to T5 Grape Shot to give it a boost against super ceramics.

• Buccaneer base cost reduced from 550 to 500
• x1x Grape Shot price increased from 500 to 550
• x5x Pirate Lord grape shot damage increased to 5
• x5x Pirate Lord grape shot ceramic damage bonus of +5 added

Monkey Ace

While Pineapples are never the star of the show, the amount of pierce they have is completely unnecessary for their usage window and has only led to balance problems for Bombing Run, specifically in races. This high amount of pierce has been more evenly spread through higher tiers & crosspath. Flying Fortress has also been reduced in price because, while achievable, it doesn’t match well with freeplay progress.

• x1x Exploding Pineapple bomb pierce reduced from 40 to 20
• x11 Exploding Pineapple bomb pierce increased from 20 to 32
• Exploding Pineapple pierce change carries up to x3x Bombing Run
• x4x Ground Zero pierce remains at current pierce value of 40
• x41 Ground Zero pierce increased from 40 to 52
• xx5 Flying Fortress price reduced from 120,000 to 105,000

Heli Pilot

A little more buffing of underused crosspath

• 013 Bigger Jets now allows MOAB Shove to push back faster
  • MOAB speed reduced further from -0.33 -> -0.44
  • BFB speed reduced further from 0 -> -0.11
  • ZOMG speed reduced further from 0.33 -> 0.22

Mortar Monkey

We felt like we set up the math quite well with Mortar changes last update, but regardless of this missed shots due to inaccuracy vs. attack speed turned out to be unpopular and impacted the middle path too severely. Fortunately this change led to the community finding some critical bugs in the middle path upgrades there since Mortar’s release! That said, since low tier Mortars were never powerful we chose to leave the speed buff from last update but revert the accuracy nerf. Additionally mid-path T5 mortar has had all of its T3 damage bonuses increased to better reflect its position as a Tier 5.

• 000 Base accuracy increased from 30 back to 18
• x5x Pop and Awe ceramic damage bonus increased from 3 to 12
• x5x Pop and Awe Lead damage bonus increased from 1 to 4
• x5x Pop and Awe Fortified damage bonus increased from 1 to 4
• x5x Pop and Awe MOAB damage bonus increased from 1 to 4

Wizard Monkey

Some changes have been made to wall of fire to improve race balance in particular

• x2x Wall of Fire attack begins on cooldown when the upgrade is purchase
• x2x Wall of Fire now saves the time remaining on it’s attack cooldown
• x2x Wall of Fire attack projectiles are removed when the tower is sold

Super Monkey

The projectile count of the current multitudes of mini avatars spawned by boosted temples in freeplay contributes to performance decay, so we’ve capped the spawn rate of these mini avatars. Additionally middle path has received some basic buffs with Robo-Monkey feeling unbalanced for the high price and difficult crosspathing, and Tech Terror not keeping up with other towers that perform a similar role.

• 4xx and 5xx mini avatar spawn rate is no longer increased by attack rate buffs
• x3x Robo Monkey price reduced from 9000 to 7000
• x4x Tech Terror ability cooldown reduced from 60 to 45s

Alchemist

While the middle path T5 gets some use, T4 Transforming Tonic does not perform well for the low pierce amount so pierce has been increased.

• x4x Transforming Tonic transformed monster pierce increased from 4 to 6

Druid

Superstorm has been adjusted with a new feature to grant it a method of dealing continuous damage to the targets that it blows backwards. We know many of you will feel this needs much more work but please be patient as we will come back to it.

• 5xx Superstorm’s Storm now spawns Ball Lightnings in a 180 degree arc in front of it every second until the storm expires

Spike Factory

We quite liked how the lifespan changes for xx1 spikes went previously, though this still wasn’t enough to make the path competitive and increasing this number further wouldn’t have much of an impact since most earlier rounds aren’t long enough. Spiked Balls strats have also felt too strong compared to higher tiers on top path, so touching on all of these issues slightly the base lifespan of spikes has been reduced, ceramic bonus increased on 4xx, and a new bonus added to 5xx. We have also made changes to give more purpose to 042 Spike Storm and allowed x5x Carpet of Spikes to save its cooldown so it is no longer required to avoid saving to be used in reliable strategies.

• 000 Base projectile lifespan reduced from 70 to 50s
• xx1 Long Reach lifespan remains at 100s
• 1xx Bigger Stacks price increased from 600 to 800
• 2xx White Hot Spikes price reduced from 800 to 600
• 4xx Spiked Mines ceramic damage increased from 3 to 6
• 5xx Super Mines each spike of each mine now triggers a smaller explosion
  • Radius 20
  • Pierce 10
  • Damage 10
• 042 Spike Storm targets only active paths (ie. on Bloody Puddles)
• x5x Carpet of Spikes save cooldown of passive ability when saving

Monkey Village

Call to Arms has never had enough uptime for the small amount of space that it benefits.

• x4x Call to Arms ability cooldown reduced from 60 to 45s

Engineer

Bloon Trap can now be used more effectively

• xx4 Bloon Trap now has a cooldown of 20s instead of 1 per round
• xx4 Bloon Trap is still limited to 1 at a time per Engineer
• 2x4 Faster Engineering reduces Bloon Trap cooldown from 20s -> 16
• xx5 XXXL Trap will cooldown at 1/6th of the rate of the standard Bloon Trap
• Note: Bloon Trap’s minimum deploy time of 2.8s will override 205 Trap’s 2.7s cooldown

Gwendolin

Gwendolin’s Heat it Up! attack/buff has been sitting in a weird spot where it would benefit from attack speed but does not because of the cooldown which prevents it ever having full uptime. This rework makes her have a roughly similar uptime at all levels without being buffed, however she will now benefit properly with increased uptime depending on any rate modifiers applied to her. A fully juiced Gwendolin around level 15 or 18 should now be capable of achieving 100% buff uptime

• Level 4 Heat it up! cooldown reduced from 15s to 4.5s
• Level 4 Heat it up! Shots required to trigger has been scaled up to her match her innate attack rate at all levels

Ezili

Targeting priorities set to manual instead of hard coded to allow more possibilities & precise player control

• Level 10 MOAB Hex initial target will now follow Ezili’s priority instead of Strong
• Level 10 MOAB Hex jump target will now follow Ezili’s priority instead of Close

Adora

Adora’s level 7 ability served little purpose once she reached level 20, to solve this and also give her a small overall buff we have applied an extra bonus when sacrifice is used.

• Level 7 for 10 seconds Blood Sacrifice now also increases radius of Adora & all Sun Avatars in radius by 10%
• Level 7 for 10 seconds Blood Sacrifice now also increases attack speed of Adora & all Sun Avatars in radius by 10%

Monkey Knowledge - Ability Mastery

It should still be pretty crazy, but the previous state of complete 100% uptime of some level 3 buffs without any additionally applied cooldown buffs required was a little much

• Amount of reduced cooldown for hero level 3 ability reduced from 40% -> 30%

• Stats summary now displays upon Game Over in freeplay
• A rather massive behind the scenes overhaul of the Buff Icons system, and they will also not clip out the edges of the map anymore.
• The Insta-monkey system in BTD6 has evolved a lot since launch, from a farmable mechanic to grant easier wins into more of a collection system. With this, we have found that while the initial intention was to give a nice beefy reward for any win, this has resulted in Tier 3 and 4 insta-monkeys being far too common while Tiers 0-2 are much more coveted with no farmable way to get them. We have decided to work on this by redefining the free reward earned on round 100, instead of being a random chance of Tier 3 or 4 rewards will now follow this logic
  • Beginner maps: Insta reward range Tier 0 to Tier 2
  • Intermediate maps: Insta reward range Tier 1 to Tier 3
  • Advanced maps: Insta reward range Tier 2 to Tier 4
  • Expert maps: Insta reward range Tier 3 to Tier 4
  • Round 200 and higher remains at the past Tier 3 to Tier 4 regardless of difficulty

Ice Monkey

• 4xx Embrittlement once again allows ‘Sharp’ damage to penetrate any Bloons frozen in the Embrittled state
• x3x Placing an Arctic Wind on top of a flagship will no longer create an ice platform on top of the buccaneer

Boomerang Monkey:

Glaive Lord’s 502 gives no use over 520 with how the main attack currently works, so now 502 will additionally apply damage to the secondary revolving attack to target a different niche. MOAB Press spam is overperforming with a high 024 preference, so we are moving pierce from the base 004 into a 204 buff to give this choice some more high density round value.

• 502 Glaive Lord Boomerang gains increased Orbital Glaives damage 2 -> 3
• 004 MOAB Press pierce reduced from 300 -> 200
• 104 MOAB Press pierce reduced from 350 -> 300
• 204 MOAB Press pierce increased from 410 -> 420

Tack Shooter:

The Ring of Fire & Inferno Ring upgrades recently received a crosspath functional rework, as we’re happy with the x2x range/pierce combo now this small follow-up is just to bring a bit more impact to the short-range 402 variant.

• 401 Ring of Fire crosspath now increases damage from 3 -> 4
• 402 Ring of Fire crosspath now increases damage from 4 -> 5
• 501 Inferno Ring crosspath now increases damage from 4 -> 5
• 502 Inferno Ring crosspath now increases damage from 5 -> 6

Ice Monkey:

While Icicles is quite fun for midgame cleanup, we acknowledge points raised on Cryo Cannon trading off it’s freeze prowess too quickly when the smaller freeze area even with such a fast rate increase still overall makes it struggle to slow as effectively. To counter this a little we have doubled the freeze radius of Cryo Cannon, but also increased damage of both the Ice Balls & Icicles to highlight more the intention of this path swapping to a damage hybrid earlier.

• xx3 Cryo Cannon Blast Radius increased 10 -> 20
• xx3 Cryo Cannon ice ball damage increased 1 -> 2
• xx4 Icicles 'shard' damage increased 1 -> 2

Glue Gunner:

The Bloon Solver recently received a small functional rework buff, this follow-up buff will make the stepping stones to it a little easier on saving.

• 4xx Bloon Liquifier price reduced from $6500 -> $5500

Sniper Monkey:

To retain value in more Lead-heavy situations including against DDTs, this upgrade that has always allowed Lead popping to main attack will now also grant this to the Shrapnel from any shrapnel shot snipers mixing in this upgrade

• 120 Shrapnel now gains Normal type damage from Full Metal Jacket

Monkey Buccaneer

Aircraft carriers have ongoing trouble with missing targets, these changes can hopefully offer a few extra ways of supporting the weakness internally while we keep investigating this.

• 4xx Aircraft Carrier's forward dart projectile radius increased by 2
• 5xx Carrier Flagship Missiles damage type changed from Explosive -> Normal
• xx1 Long Range increases projectile speed of all attacks by +25%

Monkey Ace:

Tsar Bomba currently holds low value compared to multiple Ground Zero purchases aside from the stun, this greatly requested change should hopefully add more niche benefit .

• x5x Tsar Bomba bombs damage type changes from Explosive -> Normal
• x5x Tsar Bomba cooldown reduced from 45 -> 40

Heli Pilot

Heli Pilot manages on pursuit far too easily without any need to consider Bigger Jets unless camo or downdraft is required. For more crosspath variety than just ‘camo’ we moved more of the base Heli speed out and back into Bigger Jets with an overall buff to Bigger Jets. This should allow Bigger Jets to scale a little better than other helis through early speed ramping. Due to overall comparisons between Downdraft’s blowback & MOAB Shove we have also slashed MOAB Shove’s price by 30% to give it & Comanche more of a kickstart

• Heli base speed reduced from 45 -> 40
• x1x Bigger Jets speed increased from 67.5 to 70
• xx4 Heli MOAB Shove price reduced from $5000 -> 3500

Mortar Monkey:

Mortar’s Faster Reload feels like a ‘required’ as a crosspath with Burny Stuff never scaling well on any path but it’s own. We like choices not requirements so to counter this we have made Burny Stuff scale with top-path damage & shifted a small amount of the speed from Faster Reload onto the base mortar and reduced base accuracy considerably.

• Base Mortar random spread area increased in size from 18 -> 30
• xx1 Increased Accuracy random spread area stays the same as it currently is (8)
• Mortar base rate of fire increased from 2.2 -> 2
• x1x Faster Reload rate buff reduced from 30% -> 25%
• x2x Rapid Reload rate buff reduced from 30% -> 28%
• 302 Shell Shock, Burny Stuff damage increased from 1 -> 2
• 402 The Big One, Burny Stuff damage increased from 1 -> 3
• 502 The Biggest One, Burny Stuff damage increased from 1 -> 25

Wizard Monkey:

Though it was never a goal for the base tower to be great, given the additional purple weakness since BTD5 and how poorly it currently performs we feel it deserves to take rank as the cheapest magic tower along with a small buff. Dragon’s Breath crosspathing has also been finished up along with a considerable boost to scale Dragon’s Breath up against Ceramics. Finally, Unpopped Army changes are also here! We wanted to cover all of the usability issues with this upgrade while also powering it up and expanding more on the mechanic that makes it so unique. We hope this will be enough to make Wizard very useful in a number of ways, but will be keeping a watchful eye on how it plays out.

• 000 Wizard Monkey price reduced from $450 -> 400
• 000 Wizard Monkey pierce increased from 2 -> 3
• 030 Dragon's Breath, breath attack gains bonus damage to ceramic +1
• 130 Dragon's Breath increases lifespan of Dragon Breath 0.4 -> 0.8
• 040 Summon Phoenix projectile radius increased from 5 -> 6
• 040 Summon Phoenix damage increased from 3 -> 4
• 040 Summon Phoenix pierce increased from 5 -> 6
• 040 Summon Phoenix projectile speed increased from 300 -> 350
• xx4 Unpopped Army now gains a bonus to graveyard after round 81 to make up for the total decrease in child Bloons that are created from Super Ceramics (About 10 per pop)
• xx4 Unpopped Army targeting has been reworked to function in a smarter way, summoning Zombie Bloons further back to avoid them spawning behind Bloons, and also on multi-lane tracks targeting the lanes that are likely to leak sooner
• xx4 Unpopped Army now enhances the power of all of it’s attacks by 1 for every 200 souls in it’s Graveyard. This can stack up to 10 times for Prince of Darkness
• xx5 Prince of Darkness max Graveyard capacity increased from 2000 -> 3000

Ninja Monkey:

While Sticky Bomb still has issues we are investigating, this damage buff allows Sticky Bombs to destroy all regular MOABs from round 81 to 100 in a single bomb in standard games whether they are fortified or not. In addition since this damage runs off a timed function, somewhat similar to Alchemist’s Unstable Concoction, we felt that adding a range increase to the Sticky attack similar to Concoction should give a better chance to actually explode before the target MOAB is destroyed by other towers.

• xx4 Sticky Bomb damage increased from 400 to 500
• xx4 Sticky Bomb 'sticky attack' range increased to Ninja's range * 1.5

Alchemist:

Follow up steps in overall balancing use of the 420 and 402 alchemist upgrades, this brings both combinations more in-line for total cost and allows us to think about Acid Pools as its own upgrade in future rather than worrying about the impact of changing 402.

• xx1 Acid Pools & xx2 Faster Throwing upgrades have been swapped
• 4xx Stronger Stimulant price increased from $2500 -> 3000
• xx1 Faster Throwing price increased from 500 -> 650
• xx2 Acid Pools price reduced from 600 -> 450

Druid:

We’ve wanted to work on this upgrade for a while but first had to deal with an issue causing it to perform far differently to intended. Unfortunately while we expected improvement from this fix, it ended up being an overall nerf. We have cut the price by a large amount to counter this and will revisit the upgrade again after this settles.

• x5x Druid Spirit of the Forest price reduced from 50,000 -> 35,000

Spike Factory

Since launch xx2 has never brought enough to the table as a crosspath. Working into the long life trend of the bottom path we felt that introducing longer life at a ‘cross-pathable stage’ may work in some new niche. Along with this we made a couple small tweaks buffing what should be the ‘strength areas’ of a few of the more underperforming high tier Spike upgrades

• xx1 Long Reach -> lifespan increased 70 -> 100
• xx4 Deadly Spikes last for 1 more round before expiring
• 041 Spike Storm lifespan will increase by 50% with this change
• (No changes here carry over to xx3 Long Life Spikes or xx5 permaspike)
• x5x Carpet of Spikes passive cooldown reduced 20s -> 15
• 4xx Spiked Mines blast radius increased from 15 to 19

Engineer:

Engineer is quite poor in terms of crosspathing, so we’ve added crosspath benefits to Cleansing Foam as well as an overall price buff to the middle crosspathing upgrades. We’ve been somewhat unhappy with how Overclock sits in the game for a while and especially how the interaction with tower cost causes levelling heroes naturally to be far advantageous over purchasing upgrades when this is already underused. We have made an attempt to rework these issues by moving it to a tier-based system rather than price.

• 5xx Sentry Paragon explosion damage increased from 85 -> 100
• 010 Larger Service Area price reduced from $550 -> 250
• 020 Deconstruction price increased from $200 -> 350
• 230 Faster Engineering increases Cleansing Foam rate 2 -> 1.2
• 031 Oversize Nails increases Cleansing Foam pierce 10 -> 15
• x4x Overclock duration formula has been reworked to apply on a tier by tier basis rather than just lasting for a shorter duration based on the cost of the tower.
  • Based on the current “100% duration” of 60seconds
  • Overclock used on T5 duration reduced to 50%
  • Overclock used on T4 duration reduced to 75%
  • Overclock used on T3 duration remains at 100%
  • Overclock used on T2 duration increased by 25%
  • Overclock used on T1 duration increased by 50%
  • Overclock used on T0 duration increased by 75%
• x4x Overclock for purpose of this duration, Hero tier is equivalent to 'Hero level / 4' (starting at level 0 rather than 1)

Captain Churchill:

Churchill is a chunky, expensive & slow levelling powerful hero, when he was launched he fit well in this spot but his synergies have not aged well. We have started with a small XP adjustment and greatly improved the power of his MOAB Barrage

• XP Requirement for all levels reduced by 5%
• Churchill level 10 MOAB Barrage damage increased 100 -> 200
• Churchill level 20 MOAB Barrage damage increased 250 -> 500

Ezili:

It felt fitting for so many reasons right now, but in addition to Unpopped Army buffs Ezili will now offer them a large pierce boost who then in turn offer up an improved cleanup tower to assist Ezili in dealing with with her main weakness

• Lv 11 Ezili also increases pierce of ALL Zombie Bloons you summon by +50%

Pat Fusty:

We feel that applying the entire recent Roar nerf right away from level 3 was a mistake. To alleviate the impact here we have increased the level 3 duration to a little more than it was

• Lv 3 Rallying Roar buff duration increased from 5s -> 8
• Lv 14 Rallying Roar buff duration remains the same

Adora:

Keeping in line with our “Slow” hero XP curve, Adora’s XP requirement will be reduced to match the new curve applied on Churchill

• XP Requirement for all levels reduced by 5%

Etienne:

While he has been highly underrated, we wanted to fit in a few quality of life tweaks to add overall nicety and smoothen progression.

• Lv3 Drone Swarm ability duration increased from 15 -> 17
• Lv3 Drone Swarm ability lasts +0.5s longer for every level of Etienne
• Lv16 Drone Swarm no longer increases ability duration
• Lv20 'Ability' UCAV duration increased from 15 -> 20
• Lv20 'Ability' UCAV deals normal damage for buff duration

Admiral Brickell

Energising Totem

• Some UI issues cleaned up

Dart Monkey

Dart Monkey at its core is an early game focus tower, so we added some projectile speed options to try and help with its tendency to miss faster Bloons. Spike-o-pult’s rate was also increased and damage type changed to shatter to be more versatile of a stepping stone in niche setups saving for Juggernaut

• xx2 Enhanced Eyesight projectile speed increased 300 -> 330
• xx3 Crossbow projectile speed increased from 300 -> 360
• xx4 Sharp Shooter projectile speed increased from 300 -> 400
• xx5 Crossbow Master remains at 450 speed
• 3xx Spike-o-pult can now damage frozen Bloons type changed Sharp -> Shatter
• 3xx Spike-o-pult rate increased from 1.25s -> 1.15s
• 4xx Juggernaut DOES NOT carry over this rate increase

Bomb Shooter

We’re really excited about the recent rise in Bomb fame, and we want to encourage this by buffing some of the detracting parts of Bomb Shooters. But larger groups of basic T3 Maulers are now performing far too well against everything when they are intended to be more of a MOAB Specialist. This change means little in the early game, but should pull these groups back a little in more higher round gameplay.

• 3xx Really Big Bombs damage increased 2 -> 3
• 4xx Bloon Impact does NOT gain any improvement from this change
• x3x MOAB Mauler Ceramic bonus reduced from 5 -> 4
• x4x MOAB Assassin MOAB bonus increased from 18 -> 25
• x5x MOAB Eliminator MOAB bonus increased from 79 -> 99

Tack Shooter

Inferno Ring has felt very outclassed for a long time, and more recently the tack shooter was reworked to give pierce on x2x which made the old 402 pierce crosspath not make as much sense anymore. We wanted to start work on both these issues together by reworking how Ring of Fire and Inferno Ring interact with crosspaths

• 401 Ring of Fire & Inferno Ring no longer gain pierce +10
• 402 Ring of Fire & Inferno Ring no longer gain pierce +10
• 410 Ring of Fire & Inferno Ring now increase total pierce by +10
• 420 Ring of Fire & Inferno Ring now increase total pierce by +10
• 402 Ring of Fire now increases base damage from 3 -> 4
• 502 Inferno Ring now increases base damage from 4 -> 5

Glue Gunner

Many people seem to agree 5xx Glue is ‘good’, but simply outclassed (mainly by 5xx mortar at a similar price). This won’t completely fix that, we hope to work on making the earlier stepping stone tiers a little easier to use and provide the 520 crosspath with a better niche by making Bloon Solver benefit from all pierce twice as much (which x2x provides).

• 3xx Bloon Dissolver $3,300 -> $2,700
• 4xx Bloon Liquifier $7,000 -> $6,500
• 5xx Bloon Solver now fires 2 projectiles per attack
• 5xx Bloon Solver total pierce per projectile reduced from 12 -> 6
• 510 Bloon Solver total pierce per projectile reduced from 13 -> 7
• 520 Bloon Solver total pierce per projectile reduced from 16 -> 11

Sniper Monkey

This tower felt like it’s strength too heavily required the xx2 upgrade, and that this harmed crosspath choices. So we increased the base attack rate while nerfing the increase from these upgrades. This is a slight overall buff

• 000 Sniper Monkey fire rate increased from 2s -> 1.59
• xx1 Fast Firing rate bonus reduced from 35% -> 30%
• xx2 Even Faster Firing rate bonus reduced from 40% -> 30%
• 5xx Cripple MOAB duration rates for stun/debuff increased
  • MOAB 6 -> 7
  • BFB 3 -> 6
  • ZOMG 1.5 -> 3
  • DDT 1.5 -> 4
  • BAD 0.25 -> 0.75

Monkey Sub

The cost efficiency of Sub Commander's +5 pierce favored low tiers more than we’d like. Fortunately other paths of sub don’t care so much about pierce, so as xx4 AP Darts gives its own large pierce increase we hope lowering the amount of this buff slightly will make driving to T4 more meaningful.

• xx5 Sub Commander pierce buff reduced from 5 -> 4

Heli Pilot

Pursuit Downdraft has felt like an overperformer for a very long time, but instead of outright nerfing it we increased crosspath potential for those who manually take control over their heli micro. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Pursuit Razor Rotors has underperformed due to distancing itself far too much, so we increased the range of this attack slightly.

• 300 Razor Rotors area increased from 33 to 35
• 030 blow rate reduced from 0.125 -> 0.15
• 032 blow rate increased from 0.125 -> 0.12
• xx4 Comanche Defense duration increased 10 -> 12

Wizard Monkey

Second and third path upgrades get some fine tuning for more internal consistency. We want to make slow tweaks here to bring them into better balance

• 031 Dragon’s Breath crosspath now benefits from increased pierce 4 -> 6
• x4x & x5x Phoenix summon states should now save between games
• xx3 Shimmer price reduced from $1800 -> 1700
• xx5 Unpopped Army, we know how badly changes are wanted here, but there was more to do than we could achieve in this update

Super Monkey

We were finally able to properly implement a popular suggestion for the Robo Monkey, and will be keeping an eye on it’s performance more closely in this update. In addition to this, Dark Knight’s reliance on Alchemist/Obyn to reach a reasonable pierce value made it too difficult to enjoy teleporting around using Dark Knight’s new ability so we tried to cut out that dependency with a sizable pierce increase.

• x3x Robo Monkey is now able to independently set its arms to different target priorities
• xx3 Dark Knight pierce increased from 3 -> 5 (please note the xx4 Dark Champion does not inherit the pierce buff from xx3)

Alchemist

Alchemist is already widely used, but we thought of an interesting way to add some more crosspath value and wanted to take the chance to perform a small rebalance at the same time.

• 3xx Berserker Brew buff shots per brew reduced from 30 -> 25
• 4xx Stronger Stimulant buff shots per brew reduced from 50 -> 40
• 320 Berserker Brew buff shots per brew increased from 25 -> 35
• 420 Stronger Stimulant buff shots per brew increased from 40 -> 50
• 320 Berserker Brew duration increased from 5s -> 6
• 320 Berserker Brew re-application cooldown reduced from 5s -> 4
• 420 Stronger Stimulant duration increased from 12s -> 13
• 420 Stronger Stimulant re-application cooldown reduced from 5s -> 4

Spike Factory

Bigger balance shifts including Super Mines were not feasible for this update, but we did make a meaningful price reduction.

• 5xx Super Mines Price reduced from $175,000 -> 162,500

Engineer

Continuing our efforts to make crosspaths meaningful and fit the style of each path more solidly, a number of crosspath and base level balance shifts were made.

• 110 Larger Service Area now applies 1/5th the range (+4) to any sentries produced
• 101 Oversize Nails allows sentries produced by this tower to pop frozen Bloons
• 101 Oversize Nails now increases sentry pierce by +1
• 2xx Faster Engineering sentry deployment rate increased further from 7s -> 6
• 4xx Sentry Expert base range of all sentries increased from 45 -> 50
• 5xx Sentry Paragon explosion radius scales with sentry radius
• x4x Engineer Overclock ability active buff state will now be included in save files
• x5x Ultraboost will now apply ‘perma’ stacks upon ability activation rather than expiration

Admiral Brickell

While Brickell setups have a very specific select group of interactions, it is clear her abilities in this interaction are over performing so we want to try take a slow approach toning these back while we continue to review all Heroes each update.

• Lv 3: Naval Tactics Duration reduced 10 -> 9
• Lv 14: Naval Tactics Duration reduced 15 -> 12
• Lv 10: Mega Mine damage reduced from 5000 -> 4000

• In keeping with Odyssey, the Lotus Island beginner map, sporting some new interactive tech

• Double Cash mode will now apply in co-op mode for players who own it!
• Odyssey Notes:
  • Odyssey has been a long time coming - we wanted to make it as variable and customizable as possible at launch, with extensible systems that allow it to evolve update to update; thanks, awesomer community, for your requests and patience!
  • Trophy rewards do not stack from difficulty to difficulty - the 50 Trophies from Hard difficulty is the maximum, so if you play Easy and win 15, then play Medium which has a 25 Trophy base reward, you will only get the 10 Trophy delta between those two reward levels
  • Badge stars also do not stack - the 5 stars from Hard is the maximum per Odyssey; we made both of these design calls so players do not feel compelled to play all 3 Odysseys to maximize rewards or bragging rights - play all 3 only if you’ll have fun doing that!
  • Powers can be purchased in-game up to the value that you put into your Crew loadout; for instance, you don’t have to have 5 Supermonkey Storms to allocate 5 to your Crew loadout and doing that gives you the option to buy up to that Crew allocated number if you find that you need them
  • A few things that work differently for Odyssey - no freeplay, no replays of completed maps or difficulties, and no co-op; our goal was to keep Odyssey purely focused on challenging, multi-map, single-player adventures - then evolve from there
• Trophy Store Notes:
  • Trophy Store has also been a long time coming, ever since we introduced Trophies in Races - some of you knew they’d be good for something!
  • Races and Odysseys are the only way to obtain Trophies in the game
  • We started with a wide range of Store items so that any stockpiled Trophies could be put to good use, but for all but the top Racers there should be plenty of items to go after
  • Intent is to offer a smaller set of new Trophy Store items with most Updates
  • We look forward to your feedback about which items you’d like to see more of!
  • Remember you can mute co-op emotes if you are tired of seeing (and hearing!) them
  • The Bloon skins currently only apply to the base blimps and don't affect any fortified versions
• Named Monkeys Notes:
  • This Trophy Store item allows players to name the first monkey of each tower type
  • Once named you can see certain related stats for that particular monkey
  • The named monkey is always the first monkey of that tower type placed in a game and will continue to track lifetime stats even if you change the name
  • Heroes cannot be named and subsequent monkeys of a given tower type cannot be named
• In relation to both Odyssey reward values and player feedback on Race rewards, we have increased the top Race Trophy rewards and included a new Top 50 category for more granularity between the Top 1% and the Top 3
• The Hero Booster IAP has been removed, and instead has been replaced with an option to boost your current hero up to level 10 for a Monkey Money cost. The price of this item will be reduced if you already have levels on your hero, and is not available after level 10
