[edit | edit source]| “ | While not appreciated by all because of a lack of map situations it applies well in, we enjoy the quite specific niche that Juggernaut fills. However, we wanted to make some minor tweaks allowing it to apply itself better against fortified ceramics — Update notes |

| “ | In many situations, especially moving into the deeper lategame, T4 MOAR Glaives didn’t quite feel like enough of a step up over the T3; leading on into the high ceramic cleanup of the T5 we have decided to introduce that ceramic bonus earlier at T4 along with allowing Glaives to overcome their long-standing weakness of being consumed by nearby blockers at T4 with MOAR Glaives ignoring all blocking objects completely. In efforts to cut down on unnecessarily high pierce for more reliable base stats Glaive Lord is having its excessive orbit pierce converted into high base ceramic damage bonus on the orbit & an added bonus to the main attack as well. When the Dart & Boomerang paragons were first introduced the more expensive T5 upgrades were not taken into account for balance as much as the raw paragon upgrade cost, in addition to this we have for a long time taken a no-MK approach to general game balance, however paragons have proven that they should follow the opposite of this ideal and be balanced around a max MK assumed approach, due to MK balance the Dart Paragon gains an incredible degree bonus, so we would like to counterbalance some of that advantage in the base Boomerang design by reducing the price greatly. — Update notes |

| “ | Ice Monkey base pierce is too high, very easily countering large numbers of strong Bloons early, mid or late in the game for small investment, leading to very low tiers of ice monkey (below t3) being highly effective spam options over upgrading your ice. We are reworking some of this base pierce to require crosspath investment and buffing the damage Ice 3xx Ice Shards to compensate for some of its reduced pierce. — Update notes |

| “ | Glue Gunner base level doesn’t fit in as a starter placement, while not really changing that at all we feel for now if it was cheaper than $250 you'd be able to start with 2 dart monkeys & a glue on medium for more casual variety. With an expensive tier 2 and the T3 breaking the $3k mark Glue Hose doesn’t feel justifiable a lot of the time so base cost is being shifted up to T4. Bloon Solver appears to be in a fair state now but with low value save up into it from Dissolver & Liquifier, slight improvements have been made here to assist them in cleaning up in some cases it feels they should. — Update notes |

| “ | All paths of the Sniper Monkey are really starting to show strong use in different cases, and we’re quite happy with this, although bottom path feels like it relies a little too heavily on the top-end upgrades for such an overall cheap path, we are shifting a small amount of price out from the T3 into the T5 — Update notes |

| “ | While working on the Ace paragon we found a way to make homing appear much cleaner on super long-range attacks, so we’d like to try out this new setup on the Flagship for a little experiment to see if this improves the gameplay feeling there. Recent changes were very popular for Pirate Lord, so now it no longer feels like it needs to be such a cheap T5. While this isn’t enough of a change to curb its newfound power too much the price will be increasing. Buccaneer Farming at the base level is in-line with other farming options, slightly weaker but with enough dps to compensate, we recently experimented with lowering the benefit Trade Empire grants to T3s to slow down this early benefit & this turned out to be quite successful however they still scale too well too quickly for a low price so we’re bringing that down more. — Update notes |

| “ | Sky Shredder has a higher skill ceiling than most towers so has evaded many nerfs, but is still too good for what it offers so is finally seeing a slight price increase. Same as mentioned above for the flagship, we are experimenting with new homing changes for the Spectre & Flying Fortress to improve their feeling. Users have noticed that Goliath Doomship's ability overall has far less pierce than the T4 ability, while this rarely matters at all the pierce value downgrading by that much was not an intended reduction, so we are bumping up each of those ability bombs to bring the total pierce up. — Update notes |

| “ | The recent Mortar 5xx rework significantly devalued 502 crosspath, undermining the work we previously put into trying to balance that choice, likewise 205 Mortar is not often used as base damage isn't relevant for Blooncineration compared to attack speed, following along with the idea of Top Path improving burny stuff damage in addition to base hit damage both of these paths will now benefit from increase burn DoT in such a way. — Update notes |

| “ | Wizard Archmage currently doubles the attack speed of the main attack along with adding a sizable MOAB damage bonus, but these benefits are not applied to the extra attacks that it gains as a 533 tower, which specifically makes the 520 crosspath benefits feel disappointing and the base dragon's breath it gains quite insignificant to the main tower. Phoeniis [sic] still far too strong for an extremely cheap T4, so cost is being shifted from the T5 down. — Update notes |

| “ | Tech Terror's ability runs into niche issues before r100 with some cases causing it to break BFBs into ceramic rushes instead of destroying them entirely, we found a very small damage buff resolves this up to r100, solving this problem for the base game modes, and while we were here added for the possibility for the ability to also deal consistant critical hits. — Update notes |

Sauda
[edit | edit source]| “ | Saving this for last, as it is the biggest rework here with the most to say. There was too much already changed to include even further changes with her all at once, but we want to take this rework further after seeing your feedback, so Sauda fans please take your time over the holidays to really get a feel for how this changes things.
At first this looks like a lot of numbers going down, but that is not our only intention with the changes, Sauda’s feeling is far too much of a ‘set and forget’ play, leading her to be extremely overvalued on simple maps but have a highly lackluster feeling on many difficult ones that require further interaction. To steer away from this her base power is being lowered at a number of points, with some tweaks to both her abilities overall improving their power mainly with a huge buff to her level 7 & 11 Bloon Weakness debuffs now benefitting her abilities with CONSIDERABLY more damage than previously (previously +2 regardless of the ability damage) |
