While the Tack Shooter is a popular and powerful early game tower, it’s[sic] top path tier 5 felt like it was lagging behind the other upgrades in terms of efficiency. We are reducing its cost to bring it in line with the other tier 5s.

The changes we made in 4.8 to the Monkey Ace turned out to be too drastic, causing its playrate to plummet. We are lowering its base cost again and transferring that money to the bomber ace upgrade instead. Additionally, we are increasing the power of the Sky Shredder upgrade as this has long been the least popular of the Ace’s tier 5s.

The Dartling’s bottom path struggles to keep pace with the more powerful bloons in the later game. We are adding a knockback effect to its tier 4 and 5 to help it deal with these later rounds. In addition, we are allowing the bottom path tier 5 to hit lead so that it can be used to tackle DDTs.

DJ Ben was proving too tricky to utilise which is hurting his playability. We are increasing his range to make it easier to gather monkeys around him to fuel his money making abilities.

Reality as we know it has shifted and revealed a brand new bloon modifier: Phayze Bloons! Phayze Bloons have a protective, reality altering shield which blocks all damage from the first hits they take. When the shield breaks, Phayze Bloons bend space for a final rush forward. Phayze shields can appear on any bloon type so no strategy is safe from this new threat.
