Monkeys

Bomb Shooter / Mega Bomb Shooter

“

Bomb Shooter was dependable for clusters of low level Bloons and its overall damage stacked up with other towers, but it still felt lackluster. To keep both Bomb Shooter bombs and Mega Bombs around a bit longer, each have been given 1 extra bounce. — Update notes

”

•  Number of bounces increased ― 3 → 4

Captain Churchill

“

Churchill is so good, especially in those clusters of Regen Bloons. Too good in fact, and the ability to create a hero cascade was too frequent and needed to be reduced. We still wanted Churchill to feel like an awesome hero, so instead of nerfing him, we’ve increased the damage he deals when he runs over bloons from 1 -> 2. This can make him more effective against certain individual Bloons, but by increasing the amount of damage done, the regen cascade is reduced. — Update notes

”

•  Tank contact damage increased ― 1 → 2

Adora

“

Adora is a fantastic cleanup hero but overall her damage output was not lining up with other heroes, so she needed a small buff. Adora’s lifespan has increased by 10%. — Update notes

”

•  Lifespan increased by 10%

Reward values

“

We made several adjustments to reward values across the game - including changes some of you noticed in the last week of November and first week of December. We apologize for the abruptness of these balance changes, and for not communicating them earlier; in the future any between update changes will be announced on Ninja Kiwi Games reddit. We made these changes following the release of 3.0 when we realized our reward economy was too generous, mainly devaluing the wonderful work our artists have done on the cosmetics and scene items and also creating a large surplus of powerups. — Update notes

”

• Changed rewards of level completion, Daily Rewards, Goals, Social Goals, Scene progression, Scene completion, and Bloontonium Canisters
• "Adjusted MM cost of existing cosmetics."
• "New and improved rewards for both completing both Solo and Friends Puzzle targets"

Levels

“

Levels have had a bit of a tune up for 5.0, you may notice some of the following: Fixed an animation issue with some Bloon formations Added new Spring/Easter holiday themed bloon formations Regenerated all levels to address the following issues: Too many bloons that were regrow, camo, etc. in a single level Lowered the overall difficulty of main progression levels, including regenerating several of the first 100 levels where some players were getting stuck. Should be easier to get friends and family playing now! Removal or editing of some bloon/obstacle patterns that were too difficult or just not as fun

”

• The total number of regular levels is reduced from 5,000 to 2,000

Lightning Storm

“

•  Damage to Boss Bloons increased
•  Can now damage Purple Bloons (undocumented)

Phoenix

“

[T]his very powerful fan favorite was simply too powerful against Bosses. No changes were made to effectiveness against other Bloons, but damage to Boss was reduced to balance it with other powerups, especially given its unblockable homing shots. — Update notes

”

•  Damage to Boss Bloons reduced

Mega Bomb Shooter

“

Mega Bomb Shooter Boss damage was anything but Mega, so boosted signficantly to keep par with other Megas. — Update notes

”

•  Damage to Boss Bloons increased

Ice Monkey / Mega Ice Monkey

“

Ice Monkey and Mega Ice Monkey have had a tune up! Their snowflake attack was a cool idea (pun intended), but too often led to frustrating situations where the ice trails were missing bloons that were so close. We’ve switched out this attack to an expanding nova, impacting bloons in a radius around the point where the Ice Monkey hits a bloon. The attack is visually the same, but with much greater effect. — Update notes

”

•  Instead of spawning six branching ice projectiles, the attack spawns an expanding AoE that only freezes Bloons that were within range of the full AoE when it spawned (not Bloons that moved into its radius after it spawned)
