Version 4.0.2

edit
“ Dart has received a lot of buffs over the updates and has now gained recognition for being dominant tower in all stages of the game. We have decided to weaken its abilities so that it can keep its early game strength while being a bit easier to rush in the mid/late game.
— Update notes 		”

edit
“ The crossbow is the least used of the Dart Monkey’s upgrade paths. The Juggernaut and Super Monkey Fan Club both have their niche with high pierce group popping and concentrated single target damage respectively. We are buffing the Crossbow Monkey to give it a place somewhere between the two with solid pierce and damage and some slight seeking to ensure it makes the most out of its pierce.

edit
“ We are increasing the cost of the Triple Darts upgrade and moving some of the top path’s cost into the lower upgrades to make dart monkey hoards more expensive.
— Update notes 		”
