| “ | The basic Caltrops change has been made so that they can pack more of a punch, since previously they often got disregarded as being insignificant. Additionally, they were known for contributing towards lag, especially if you had lots of them, so hopefully the slower attack rate will offer a slight improvement in this area. For 5xx Grandmaster Ninja, we’ve made 2 interesting crosspath changes. The middle path was never used as the preferred crosspath due to the distraction not being very relevant, so it has been greatly improved for 5xx by now including MOABs. For the bottom crosspath, although already the preferred choice, we wanted to buff it up anyway so that 5xx would be stronger overall now, since previously it was often more efficient to buy multiple 4xx Bloonjitsu Ninjas instead of a 5xx. The 5xx upgrade provides more shuriken and higher damage on them, yet Caltrops did not benefit from either of these things, so it provided negligible damage relative to the shuriken. It has received a massive damage buff so that it can now scale up with the shuriken and play a greater role in Grandmaster Ninja’s overall firepower. — Update notes |

| “ | These changes buff 0xx Ninja upgrades while leaving 1xx Ninja upgrades unchanged. One major reason for this is so that 023 Ninja can be slightly more dependable. — Update notes |

| “ | Ever since Ninja’s major nerfs a few updates ago, it has not been at the level that we would like. We are very conscious to not repeat past mistakes and over-buff it’s early game, so we’re just making very small changes for now. Bloon Sabotage has also been changed so that it can be used more reliably and easily when defending ZOMGs and BFBs. — Update notes |

|
| “ | The Grand Saboteur is the weakest of the Ninja Monkey’s tier 5 upgrades. We are bringing over a popular balance change from BTD6 in order to improve its usage, although we are limiting it to only Ninjas in the Grand Saboteur’s range rather than a map wide buff to limit its interaction with other, more powerful combos. — Update notes |

- "Fixed the 203 Ninja Monkey not wearing a bandana"
| “ | Flash bomb synergizes very well with damage buffs and Ice Shards, making it a powerful early-game upgrade. Shinobi's buffs are too strong right now and the overall strategy becomes extremely powerful after round 20. Increasing Bloon Sabotage cost and reducing its duration will require greater investment to maintain its effects during sustained rushes. — Update notes |

| “ | The recent shinobi nerf made the Grandmaster Ninja a little underpowered. This should bring it back in line. Like the Grandmaster Ninja, the Master Bomber is also now a little underpowered. This buff should help it feel more consistent like it used to. — Update notes |
