The Long Arm of Light (level 3) — Increases her range and pierce and allows her to pop Purple Bloons and Glass Bloons for a short time. Deals more damage starting at level 16.
Blood Sacrifice (level 7) — Sacrifices a tower to gain XP and temporarily buff herself and nearby Sun Avatars, granting extra range and attack speed.
Ball of Light (level 10) — Spawns a temporary orb that fires lasers directly onto Bloons, similarly to Plasma Accelerator.
Adora's main attack fires Divine Bolts that seek out Bloons and deal Plasma-typedamage, and ignore line of sight. Unlike most seeking projectiles, Divine Bolts will decelerate if the target is not within a 30° cone of their current trajectory and accelerate if the target is within a 5° cone, allowing them to make much tighter turns in the air to avoid missing their targets. This seeking style is shared with the radial dart attack of Neva-Miss Targeting and its higher tiers. Adora shoots multiple Divine Bolts per shot at higher levels, which are spread 30° apart from each other. This attack gains the following benefits as Adora levels up:
If Adora is at level 20 and has a Sun Temple in her range when it is upgraded into a True Sun God, Adora transforms into True Adora.[1] In this form, Adora's main attack deals +24 damage and has +30 pierce, and Ball of Light gains +180 damage and +35 pierce. She remains transformed even if the True Sun God is sold.
If the True Sun God transforms into a VTSG, Adora also transforms into Vengeful Adora.[2] Doing this for the first time on an account unlocks the Strangely Adorableachievement. Otherwise, the differences are purely cosmetic.
The Long Arm of Light unlocks at level 3. It temporarily buffs Adora's Divine Bolt attack, doubling its pierce and range, increasing its projectile radius by 50%, and allowing it to damage any type of Bloon for 10 seconds. It has a 45-second cooldown.
Starting at level 16, it also increases the attack's damage by 2, and its duration increases to 15 seconds.
Blood Sacrifice unlocks at level 7. It destroys the selected tower and provides a buff that increases range and attack speed based on the total amount of cash spent on the sacrificed tower, as well as granting Adora XP equal to four times the cash amount (affected by Energizer, Scholarships, and Monkeys Together Strong). It cannot target sub-towers. It has a 30-second cooldown.
The buff applies to Adora and all Sun Avatars, Sun Temples, and True Sun Gods within her range for 10 seconds. It increases range by 10% and reduces attack cooldown by 10%, plus 1% per $100 spent on the sacrificed tower, capping at +25% range and -25% cooldown (effectively +33.3% attack speed) at $1,500 spent. At level 20, the duration increases to 60 seconds and the cap increases to +50% range and -50% cooldown (double attack speed) at $4,000 spent. Granting the buff to towers that already have it does not stack the effects, but stronger versions of the buff will override weaker ones, and activating a weaker version while a stronger version is active will cause the weaker version to take over once the stronger version ends.
Ball of Light unlocks at level 10. It spawns a temporary sub-tower that orbits Adora in a small anti-clockwise circle for 12 seconds. The ball fires lasers at Bloons with infinite range and matches Adora's current targeting option. It deals 3 Plasma damage every 0.05 seconds to up to 8 Bloons at a time and deals +3 damage to Fortified Bloons. Overclock does not affect it, but Acidic Mixture Dip and Berserker Brew does. It has a 60-second cooldown.

Adora is often outclassed as a Hero, having a below average DPS and support. Her main use is Blood Sacrifice to provide a significant DPS boost to Sun Temples and True Sun God for late-game settings, especially Boss Bloon Events in the lack of cash generating heroes. In deep Freeplay however, she is outclassed by Ezili's MOAB Hex scaling based on BAD health. Outside of this, a lot of investment and buffs are required to give her high enough DPS over other Heroes, and she struggles after round 50 until she reaches level 20.
In CHIMPS mode, she has an incredibly strong early game as her bolts are accurate and very receptive to buffs. Before round 50, she is a great candidate for Berserker Brew, and in the later rounds once she is level 20, an Overclock provides an immense power boost. She needs a mid-game carry tower like Bloon Area Denial System to deal with early MOAB-Class Bloons until she can level up to the max level and deal acceptable damage to them, but players can often sacrifice the carry tower to gain enough XP to reach level 20 before important rounds like 98. Timing her abilities are crucial to beating these rounds once she reaches max level.
For Boss Bloon Events that have limited Paragons available, she can often be the choice over cash generating heroes to boost a Vengeful True Sun God and many Sun Avatars to damage Bosses faster. Players do not need to level her until they get those towers, and she can help defend the early game well in order to be greedy with farming.

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. — Update notes

Blood Sacrifice: For 10 seconds, Adora and all nearby 3+-x-x Supers gain +10% range and 0.90x attack cooldown multiplier
In order to just generally grant more value to this ability and develop strategy in what targets you want to pick to use it on and when, Adora's buff gained after sacrificing another tower will now scale based on the sacrifice's cost. Additionally as Sacrifice loses value when using it after Adora reaches the level 20 cap it now receives a large duration buff at that point. — Update notes

Adora feels like the perfect target to fill a current hole heroes have, we so far have no real dedicated ‘Fortification Buster’ among us in the hero lineup so giving this to Adora will hopefully allow for new unique use cases that the others don’t fill. — Update notes

The Long Arm of Light: cooldown reduced ― 45s → 35s
Adora skyrocketed in value with her fortification changes and this has been great, but the initial fort bonus she gains doesn't feel like it needs to immediately start at +2 given her base damage of only 1 — Update notes
While they are complicated individuals, Adora can now fully appreciate the sacrifice of the newest Monkeys in the struggle against the Bloons. — Update notes
Adora is a unique hero in how she has a great deal more value in spending cash to level her up faster, however she outperforms other heroes by too much regardless of this added cost. As her ability uptime is so incredibly good to the point of being completely spammable we’re increasing that cooldown slightly and reducing her base pierce in the higher levels so more thought must be required to utilize the large pierce increase she gains from usage of that ability. — Update notes

Adora performs extremely well throughout the hardest rounds without any significant weakness that feel fairly comparable to other top of the line heroes. Due to very high ability uptime there is low strategic requirement to her ability timing much of the time, and a strong highly buffable baseline of power even when abilities are not active. — Update notes

Blood Sacrifice: can no longer select Ice Monkeys upgraded to Arctic Wind and above if their ice platforms are supporting Adora (bug fix)
Adora’s max level form is intended to be very powerful due to the investment required in pushing her up to that point, but right now all of the top heroes are performing much stronger than the rest so we are looking to settle her around a lower top-end. — Update notes

Adora’s recent nerf impacted her freeplay value too much, with limited options for heroes that scale well into freeplay we have agreed it would be best to change back her sacrifice stacks. — Update notes
