Towers

Dart Monkey

Tiers	Changes
3-X-X Spike-o-pult and further upgrades	Spiked Balls can now bounce from map borders (undocumented) Note: 5-X-X Ultra-Juggernaut projectiles also can bounce from map borders now but the split behavior takes priority. Paragon unchanged

Bomb Shooter

“

Minor quality of life no one’s particularly fussed about outside of the multitude of requests — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-4-X MOAB Assassin and further upgrades	Can no longer target DDTs if not able to damage Black Bloons

“

[...] Although, I guess we can mention early that Bomb Blitz itself has been balance changed so that it can now hit the leaking target that triggers it and can potentially prevent any life loss, [...] — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-X-5 Bomb Blitz	Ability: passive activation can damage triggering Bloon and potentially prevent life loss if this damage is enough to completely destroy the target  Ability: First hit can now soak through MOAB-Class layers (undocumented)  Ability: First hit can not affect MOABs or below (undocumented)

Tack Shooter

“

As it is primarily a small Bloon cleanup tower path, Super Maelstrom has struggled to keep up in the lategame, mostly because Super Ceramics don’t care how fast you’re spinning if you can’t break them so we’ve added a Ceramic bonus to the attack and ability. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-5-X Super Maelstrom	Main attack: Now deals +5 bonus damage to Ceramic Bloons  Maelstrom ability: Now deals +8 bonus damage to Ceramic Bloons

Ice Monkey

“

Super Brittle’s never stood out on its own which was fine for a tower whose job was making other things better, but recently after the addition of Silas we've started to feel its value is really too niche even for a support piece, so we’re cranking the numbers so it can actually break a few things itself. Absolute Zero on the other hand has enjoyed being busted lately, and thanks to a crosspathing bug fix also included this update will be getting even better, since it’s currently freezing everything imaginable we’re counter-balancing that with a nerf of increased damage and higher cost. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
5-X-X Super Brittle	Main attack: Damage increased ― 1 → 5  Main attack: Now deals +5 bonus damage to Ceramic Bloons  Ice Shards: Damage increased ― 5 → 10 Description changed ― "Bloons take huge damage while frozen including MOAB-Class Bloons." → "Bloons take huge damage while frozen, while Ice Shards rip through Ceramic Bloons like paper!"
5-0-X Super Brittle and further upgrades	Main attack: Attack cooldown reduced ― 1.8s → 1.2s
5-1-0 Super Brittle + Enhanced Freeze and further upgrades	Main attack: Attack cooldown reduced ― 1.35s → 0.9s
X-5-X Absolute Zero	Upgrade cost increased ― $16,000 → $19,000  Global attack: Cannot longer freeze Camo, Lead, White or Zebra Bloons if it cannot damage them  Global attack: Now deals 1 Cold damage  Global attack: Now deals +3 bonus damage to Ceramic Bloons  Absolute Zero ability: Now deals +4 bonus damage to Frozen Bloons
1-5-0 Absolute Zero + Permafrost and further upgrades 0-5-1 Absolute Zero + Larger Radius and further upgrades	Arctic Wind: can slow down small Bloons after being crosspathed (bug fix)

Glue Gunner

“

MOAB Glue’s always been a bit too clingy & its slow duration against MOABs has been further reduced while lasting longer at higher tiers to keep the base tower in check and give Glue Splatter & higher tiers more purpose in life. Meanwhile, Corrosive Glue now gains bonus MOAB damage so it can now try to serve as an alternate DPS hybrid. Super Glue’s baseline DoT is being replaced with a simple initial hit damage so it also requires the new 205 Crosspath to act as a DPS Hybrid — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-X-3 MOAB Glue	Glue duration for MOAB-Class Bloons reduced ― 12s → 9s Note: X-X-4 Relentless Glue remains 12s
2-0-3 MOAB Glue + Corrosive Glue	Damage over time: Now deals +4 bonus damage per tick to MOAB-Class Bloons
2-0-4 Relentless Glue + Corrosive Glue	Damage over time: Now deals +9 bonus damage per tick to MOAB-Class Bloons
X-X-5 Super Glue	Glue duration for MOAB-Class Bloons increased ― 12s → 18s
0-X-5 Super Glue and further upgrades 1-0-5 Super Glue + Glue Soak	No longer deals damage over time and instead deal 1 Normal damage when the glue is applied
2-0-5 Super Glue + Corrosive Glue	Damage over time: Now deals +19 bonus damage per tick to MOAB-Class Bloons

Desperado

“

Some quality-of-life and consistency updates for base Desperado and its top path, we enjoyed the balancing act of trying to makeBlazing Sun's[sic] burn lead popping consistent but this didn't come through well so it is gaining base Lead popping. Avenger’s price is going down as it did too little damage for that price range. Meanwhile, The Desert Phantom gains extra initial damage to MOABs as well as Ceramic damage bonuses to the Burn mechanics so it can show up more prepared for Super Ceramics. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
All tiers	Pistol now reloads at the end of the round
5-X-X The Blazing Sun	Pistol attack: Damage type changed ― Sharp → Normal
X-X-1 Wanderer	Portrait changed Before After
X-X-2 Nomad	Portrait changed Before After
X-X-4 Avenger	Upgrade cost reduced ― $9,500 → $8,500

1-0-5 The Desert Phantom + Quickdraw 2-0-5 The Desert Phantom + Standoff	Shrapnel: Now deals +10 damage to Ceramics (undocumented)

Monkey Sub

“

Energizer’s cooldown reduction for nearby water towers has always felt excessive, so we’re dialing it back to 40%, still strong just not quite double uptime strong. Pre-Emptive Strike’s ability is getting a serious boost, both in raw damage and AoE, so hopefully the upgrade can finally feel like a significant step up. Finally Armour Piercing Darts, the upgrade that has had fans yelling ‘it doesn’t actually pierce armor!’ for years – it still won’t hit Leads (Not sorry). Now it grants bonus damage against Fortified targets. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
5-X-X Energizer	Ability cooldown reduction bonus to nearby water towers decreased ― −50% → −40% Description changed ― Reduces ability cooldowns everywhere by 20%. While in radius, Heroes earn XP 50% faster and water Monkeys ability cooldowns are halved. → Reduces ability cooldowns everywhere by 20% and by 40% for Water based Monkeys. While in radius, Heroes earn XP 50% faster.
X-5-X Pre-emptive Strike	First Strike ability: Damage to main target increased ― 10,000 → 20,000  First Strike ability: Area of effect damage increased ― 350 → 1,000
X-X-4 Armor Piercing Darts	Description changed ― Special AP darts gain increased damage and popping power, plus additional damage to MOAB class Bloons. → Special AP darts gain increased damage and popping power, plus additional damage to Fortified and MOAB class Bloons.
X-X-4 Armor Piercing Darts and further upgrades	All attacks: Now deal +1 damage to Fortified Bloons

Monkey Buccaneer

“

Navarch’s sellback bonus is updating to match the new max stack value of Flavoured Trades so you don’t feel shortchanged on that bonus after upgrading. Cannon Boss Damage is also getting a bump as Navarch hasn’t been a popular pick for Bosses. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
0-1-3 Merchantman + Grape Shot and further upgrades	Grape Shot: Pierce increased ― 1 → 2 (bug fix)
Paragon	Sellback bonus increased ― +10% → +12%  Cannonball attack: Bonus damage to Boss Bloons increased ― +60 → +80

Monkey Ace

“

Spectre is trying a new approach: darts are trading in pierce for higher single-target damage, while bombs lean more into AoE Ceramic cleanup to improve overall efficiency. These changes are mirrored on the Flying Fortress to keep the behavior consistent. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-X-4 Spectre	Frontal dart: Pierce reduced ― 10 → 4  Frontal dart: Damage increased ― 4 → 8  Frontal dart: No longer does +1 Ceramic damage  Frontal bomb: Bonus damage to Ceramic Bloons increased ― +3 → +5
X-X-5 Flying Fortress	Frontal dart: Pierce reduced ― 15 → 4  Frontal dart: Damage increased ― 4 → 8  Frontal dart: No longer does +2 Ceramic damage  Frontal dart: Bonus damage to MOAB-Class Bloons increased ― +10 → +14  Radial dart: Damage type changed ― Sharp → Normal

Heli Pilot

“

MOAB Shove’s stalling potential was far too strong for how early and cheaply it becomes available, so we’re dialing back the ZOMG slow amount to keep its late-game impact more balanced. In return, Comanche Defense is getting an increase to these slowing capabilities, giving it the utility for controlling ZOMG movement. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-4-X Support Chinook and further upgrades	Should no longer be able to stack towers (bug fix) Note: This attempts to fix an exploit where two separate Chinook abilities would be able to stack towers on top within a brief window between activating placements of different towers
X-X-3 MOAB Shove	Homing missile: Damage increased ― 1 → 2 Note: X-X-4 Comanche Defense unchanged (3)
X-0-3 MOAB Shove	MOAB Shove: Multiplier for ZOMGs/DDTs increased ― ×0.33 → ×0.61 Note: This means ZOMGs/DDTs move less slow while being shoved. X-X-4 Comanche Defense multiplier is 0.2
0-1-3 MOAB Shove + Bigger Jets 0-2-3 MOAB Shove + IFR	MOAB Shove: Multiplier for ZOMGs/DDTs increased ― ×0.22 → ×0.5
X-0-4 Comanche Defense and further upgrades	MOAB Shove: Multiplier for MOABs decreased ― ×−0.3 → ×−0.4 Note: This means MOABs will be pushed back faster while being shoved  MOAB Shove: Multiplier for ZOMGs/DDTs decreased ― ×0.22 → ×0.2 Note: This means ZOMGs/DDTs move slower while being shoved
0-1-4 Comanche Defense + Bigger Jets and further upgrades	MOAB Shove: Multiplier for MOABs decreased ― ×−0.41 → ×−0.51  MOAB Shove: Multiplier for ZOMGs/DDTs decreased ― ×0.11 → ×0.09

Mortar Monkey

“

No big shakeup for Mortar right now, but upon review of crosspaths we felt some low-end pricing wasn’t well balanced. These adjustments should improve early-game options without touching the core power of the tower. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
1-X-X Bigger Blast	Upgrade cost reduced ― $500 → $300
4-X-X The Big One	Upgrade cost reduced ― $7,200 → $7,000
X-1-X Faster Reload	Upgrade cost increased ― $300 → $400
X-X-2 Burny Stuff	Upgrade cost reduced ― $500 → $400
X-X-3 Signal Flare	Upgrade cost increased ― $1,000 → $1,100

Dartling Gunner

“

Ray of Doom was a hard carry through most rounds, but just never felt satisfying against round 100 for the price, so we’re giving the first target hit bonus a significant damage spike. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
5-X-X Ray of Doom	Visually applies the Laser Shock overlay effect to the first Bloon that is hit (bug fix) Note: The effect was applied properly before  Bonus damage applied to the first Bloon that is hit increased ― 80 → 140

Wizard Monkey

“

The Wizard Paragon has been truly popping off with Master Builder's help, it is getting a slight price increase to match its power, but actually also Phoenix Rebirth is also getting a buff to its damage as we didn't feel it was getting enough of the spotlight compared to the rest of the tower’s kit. Max Mana has been reduced by 1 to remove a frustrating ‘perfect timing’ window in Metamorphosis activation. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
Paragon	Paragon cost increased ― $750,000 → $800,000  Maximum Mana reduced ― 100,000 → 99,999 Note: This decreases the maximum Arcane Metamorphosis duration from 25s to 24s by eliminating the precise 100,000 Mana usage  Phoenix Rebirth: Damage over time increased ― 2,500 → 3,500  Phoenix Rebirth: Zombie ZOMG damage increased ― 4,000 → 8,000  Phoenix Rebirth: Zombie BFB damage increased ― 700 → 1,400

Super Monkey

“

We wanted to try shifting more of Legend of the Night’s raw power from pierce into damage, giving it stronger single-target potential. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
4-X-X Sun Temple and further upgrades	Tower no longer ignores placement restrictions Golden Glaives: Projectile is visually larger Note: Does not change the projectile stats

0-2-5 Legend of the Night + Epic Range	Pierce reduced ― 26 → 19

“

Sun Temple - Military We’ve been wanting to give the Military path of the Temple more long-range focus for a while, so this update pushes toward that goal. Single-target damage is getting a big boost, while the Missile attack becomes a pure long-range damage dealer. Golden Spectres are also seeing a rework similar to the regular Spectre changes happening for Monkey Ace aimed as an overall single-target DPS improvement — Update notes

4-X-X Sun Temple and further upgrades	Large missile: Projectile is visually larger Note: Does not change the projectile radius  Large missile: Bonus damage to MOAB-Class Bloons increased ― +74 → +1999  Large missile: Pierce reduced ― 50 → 40  Large missile: Now has a minimum range of 75 units  Large missile ($300−$2,000 in Military sacrifices): Attack cooldown increased ― 3s → 6s  Large missile ($2,001−$15,000 in Military sacrifices): Attack cooldown increased ― 1.5s → 3s Note: Attack cooldown unchanged for $15,001+ (1s)  Golden Spectre Darts: Pierce reduced ― 50 → 6  Golden Spectre Darts: Damage increased ― 10 → 25  Golden Spectre Bombs: Pierce increased ― 10 → 30  Golden Spectre Bombs: Now deal +20 bonus damage to Ceramic Bloons  Golden Spectre Darts and Bombs ($50,001+ in Military sacrifices): No longer gain any additional pierce or damage on this sacrifice tier (undocumented) Note: Dart damage increased from 15 to 25, bomb pierce remains 30
5-X-X True Sun God	Large missile: Can no longer target non-MOAB-Class Bloons (undocumented)

“

Sun Temple - Magic The baseline power of Magic sacrifice leaned far too heavily on Mini Sun Avatars (The category was... pretty bad... until reaching 100% sacrifice value), so we’ve shifted some of that strength into making Arcane Blast hits, while Mini Sun Avatars are toned down to balance things out while keeping the overall unbuffed damage of this path roughly the same. We will also note in advance there are a couple more buffs to lower tiers here that we found weren’t working right but will be fixed in .1 or v52, this will not impact max-powered temples. — Update notes

Ninja Monkey

“

A few attacks had been missed on the Ninja’s last distraction change and have now had their distraction distance properly standardized. The Ninja Paragon is also seeing a set of light adjustments, most notably the much requested rebalance to Sticky Bomb now with a slower attack rate to scale properly against Bosses at high degrees, while the main attack now also hits much harder against any Stickied targets. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
0-1-4 Sticky Bomb + Distraction and further upgrades	Sticky Bomb explosion: Blowback distance changed ― 10−300 units → 100−150 units Note: All other attacks were already 100−150 units

Alchemist

“

Total Transformation can now transform Desperado, simple enough, & don’t worry transformed Desperado still gets all their usual damage bonuses against Marked Bloons, so we’re interested to see what people can do with that. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-5-X Total Transformation	Ability: Can now transform Desperados

Mermonkey

“

Mermonkey weren’t[sic] feeling they favoured their natural habitat enough, so their Water Placement bonus is getting a boost. Middle Path Mermonkey just isn’t putting in the work we hoped, so we’re giving a couple price adjustments, a pierce increase across all tiers, and some light ability improvements to make it feel more rewarding. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
All tiers	Range bonus when placed in water increased ― +25% → +35%
X-3-X Riptide Champion	Upgrade cost reduced ― $2,300 → $1,900

2-5-0 Popseidon + Trident Swiftness	Ability: Ice Ball lifespan increased ― 10s → 15s

Spike Factory

“

Spike Paragon lost much of its punch against Bosses with the Mini-Storm rework, more than anticipated so we’re granting it adjustments to price, Controlled Burst duration, and the main projectile pierce is being halved while all damage values for this attack are at least doubled, overall improving performance and making sure the Paragon still feels impactful. — Update notes

Monkey Village

“

Primary Mentoring has often felt like a low-value stepping stone, since its buffs are more situational than T3 or T5. To give it a bit more in the save up we’ve moved the T5 bonus range down into this upgrade. — Update notes

Tiers	Changes
4-X-X Primary Mentoring	Range increased ― 48 → 55 Note: 5-X-X Primary Expertise unchanged (55) Description changed ― All Primary Monkeys in radius get tier 1 upgrades for free, increased range and reduced ability cooldowns. → Increased range.

Beast Handler

“

Top Path Beast Handler relied heavily on grouping Bloons, which made it weak against Frozen Bloons which is a problem since Ice Towers are a nice way to set up those groups. To improve synergy, we’ve changed the Piranha’s damage type to properly motivate them at biting through ice like all Piranha do. — Update notes

2-X-X Barracuda	Barracuda: Damage type changed ― Sharp → Shatter Note: 3-X-X Great White unchanged (Normal)

Jones has been a little too effective among the starter heroes, so we’re evening out his attack speed scaling to keep him strong without letting him scale quite as much into obscenity. — Update notes

”

Item	Changes
Pet Rabbit	Cost decreased ― $2,000 → $1,750

“

Rosalia’s pierce value is unrealistically high for most base game rounds, so it is getting an accuracy buff at the cost of some of this pierce. This change should help improve average performance without reducing her effectiveness in most cases. — Update notes

”

Levels	Changes

Powers

Parties

Starting Artifacts

“

As T1 artifacts can easily be filled in with selected starting artifacts we felt a lot of starter teams didn’t stand out from the rest in too meaningful a way (other than starting towers), so to improve on this we’ve gone over a lot of the worse performing starter teams and upgraded their starter artifacts to higher tiers. — Update notes

Ethan Reid's video is taken from an earlier build where the Ballistic Obliteration Missile Bunker is named the "Oblivion Missile Silo" and uses a recolored MOAB Eliminator portrait as a placeholder. Also, it depicted an earlier version of the Three Mines 'Round map with a darker theme and a different arrangement of costs to the crystal clusters.

Notes

• The update notes contain the following errors:
  • Flying Fortress's previous pierce was incorrectly stated as 10, when it was actually 15.
  • Temple Military missiles internally have +74 MOAB-class damage and 1 base damage, but was stated to be 75 in the update notes.
• The update notes state that some of the balance changes are in response to "that entire 'Exceptionally Brief' feedback video on tower balance", presumably referring to a YouTube video titled "An Exceptionally Brief Tier List Of The Bloons TD6 Monkeys".
• The update notes mention the addition of a limited time "2025 Halloween Banner" cosmetic item, but no such item exists.
• The update notes contain this section about Perma-Spike:

Smiles brightly, but eyes flick left twice, right once, left again. “Everything is totally unchanged,” the words come evenly. “It’s the same, like always. Nothing to worry about.” Hands tremble slightly while skimming over the changelog for the 3rd… 7th… 25th time. “It’s all completely unchanged.” A wink lingers too long, then another flickers quickly; a bead of sweat traces down a temple. “Nothing has changed. Permaspike is absolutely SAFE here, nothing to ALERT anyone about.” A soft laugh that then cracks, a glance toward the door, fingers tap in three short, three long, three short patterns on the desk before stopping. “The same. Perfectly normal. Like always.”

Pause. Eyes dart to the corner of the room, then back to the camera. “And if anything had changed” — a chuckle, shifting in the chair, a heel tapping nervously — "I’d be the first to say something. But I haven’t. So clearly… it’s all under control.” A wrist rubbed absently, faint red marks left behind; eyes no longer meet the camera.

“You know how I am,” added, with a smile too wide, too static. “Always thorough. Everything documented, every line, over and over. Absolutely nothing out of place.” Another shift, blinking too often now. “Even if there was, it wouldn’t matter. What could really go wrong?” Leaning in closer, voice lowering slightly. “Besides, the system… is working. Always working just like it should!” Fingers grip the edge of the table tightly for a beat, then let go, knuckles pale.

Long blink. A slow, deliberate smile.

“Just like we rehearsed.”
