Some balance changes have derived from a post by u/qwertyxp2000 on r/battles2,<ref>{{cite|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/battles2/comments/1ua0j4p/better_balance_changes/|name=Better balance changes?|publisher=Reddit, r/battles2|author=u/qwertyxp2000|retrieved=2026-07-18|date=2026-06-20}}</ref> who suggested balance changes that would more appropriately balance various towers and Heroes that got changed in version 4.12. Ninja Kiwi used similar wording for justifying balance changes in their official patch notes. The following are changes that were accepted into version 4.13:

*The official patch notes state that the Blade Shooter change is an "attack speed increased by 15%", but more likely is just an attack cooldown reduction by 15%.
*The official patch notes state that the Blade Shooter change is an "attack speed increased by 15%", but more likely is just an attack cooldown reduction by 15%.
*Shrapnel Shot previously had +2 Camo damage, which is corrected to +1, which the official patch notes refers as a bug fix ("Fixed Sniper Monkey dealing too much damage to camo bloons with Shrapnel Shot"). This was supposed to occur in version 4.12's base update but was not included due to an oversight.

*The first phrase for the Sniper's official patch notes, "Sniper is picked more often purely because it comes with efficient cash generation", uses exactly the same wording as the post written by u/qwertyxp2000.

*The phrasing used to describe Bloon Trap's nerfs in the official patch notes, "Bloon Trap income has no easy answer on separated lane maps" has almost the same wording as used by the post by u/qwertyxp2000; the only difference is using the full name "Bloon Trap" instead of just "Trap".
*Ninja Kiwi's official patch notes has an error for Ocean Obyn; the actual change is to the Ocean's Clarity buff (Level 11) from +2 to +50% pierce, and not for Level 9.
