Changes

[edit | edit source]

Bloon Boost

[edit | edit source]
“ We made Bloon Boosts more powerful few updates ago to ensure that games stayed fast paced and aggressive despite some towers getting sizable buffs. We knew this would be an impactful change and we wanted to give it a lot of time to settle before we altered it further. We feel enough time has passed now and have decided that the new Bloon Boost makes some early rushes a little too hard to defend so we are dialing it back a bit.
— Update notes 		”
  • Neutral Speed bonus reduced ― +40% → +33%

Bloon sends

[edit | edit source]
“ Tight ceramics were a dangerous rush which offered a little too much value for their cost. We are increasing their price to reflect how potent this bloon send is.
— Update notes 		”
  • Neutral Tight Ceramic: cost increased ― $2,800 → $3,200

Monkey Buccaneer

[edit | edit source]
“ The Buccaneer’s popularity has fallen as of late so we are bringing over a popular change from BTD6 to increase its utility.
— Update notes 		”
Tiers Changes
X-4-X Monkey Pirates
X-5-X Pirate Lord
  • Buff Ability: Now generates cash for hooking in MOAB-Class Bloons
    • MOAB: $400
    • BFB: $800
    • ZOMG/DDT: $1200
X-X-3 Merchantman
  • Buff End-of-round income increased ― $300 → $350

Monkey Ace

[edit | edit source]
“ The Monkey Ace has been a strong tower in all stages of the game. We are increasing the cost of its early upgrades to make it a more difficult tower to start with.
— Update notes 		”
Tiers Changes
0-0-0 base tower
  • Nerf Cost increased ― $700 → $850
X-3-X Bomber Ace
  • Nerf Upgrade cost increased ― $900 → $1,000

Dartling Gunner

[edit | edit source]
“ Dartling is hindered by a expensive early game. Decreasing its base cost will make it viable in more strategies.[sic]
— Update notes 		”
Tiers Changes
0-0-0 base tower
  • Buff Cost reduced ― $800 → $700

Super Monkey

[edit | edit source]
“ We are increasing the maximum value of sacrificed towers to make it more of a decision whether to fully commit to a maxed out Sun Temple or get a less powerful temple quicker.
— Update notes 		”
Tiers Changes
3-X-X Sun Avatar
  • Nerf Upgrade cost increased ― $11,500 → $13,000
4-X-X Sun Temple
5-X-X True Sun God
  • Nerf Max sacrifice value requirements per category increased ― $15,000 → $20,000

Druid

[edit | edit source]
“ Druid has felt a bit weaker than we wanted. With the ball of light now homing to the bloons, it should be easier to use its full power. We are also increasing the utility of Heart of Oak as it has felt a little lacking.
— Update notes 		”
Tiers Changes
4-X-X Ball Lightning
5-X-X Superstorm
  • Buff Ball Lightning: lightning ball now homes towards bloons
X-2-X Heart of Oak and further upgrades
  • Buff All attacks now have 33% chance to strip Fortified properties from non-MOAB bloons

Banana Farm

[edit | edit source]
“ The introduction of the Quality Soil upgrade was another impactful change we wanted to allow plenty of room to settle before tweaking it. We feel this change will slow down farms in the early game, but keep their late game impact.
— Update notes 		”
Tiers Changes
X-X-1 Quality Soil and further upgrades
  • Nerf Discount to path 1 and 2 upgrades decreased ― 20% → 15%

Monkey Village

[edit | edit source]
“ The Monkeyopolis upgrade was proving to be a bit too efficient seeing as it improves bloon income as well as generating cash itself. We are increasing its cost to reflect its powerful money making ability.
— Update notes 		”
Tiers Changes
X-X-5 Monkeyopolis
  • Nerf Upgrade cost increased ― $15,000 → $20,000

Engineer Monkey

[edit | edit source]
“ We want Sentry Expert to have a big impact the moment you purchase it so feel it's important to keep the bonus sentries it spawns. 6 bonus sentries were proving to be too much extra damage however so we are dialing it back to 4 to make it a more measured response to a rush.
— Update notes 		”
Tiers Changes
4-X-X Sentry Expert
  • Nerf Sentries spawned upon upgrading reduced ― 6 → 4

Cyber Quincy

[edit | edit source]
“ Cyber quincy has very quickly become the most popular hero. This decrease in his initial damage should bring it back in line with the other heroes.
— Update notes 		”
Levels Changes
10-13
  • Nerf Cyber Storm: damage per 0.05s reduced ― 25 → 15
  • Nerf Cyber Storm: damage to MOAB-Class per 0.05s reduced ― +25 → +15 (undocumented)
    • Note: Levels 14+ are unaffected for both base and bonus MOAB-class damage

Gwendolin

[edit | edit source]
“ Gwen’s synergies with other fire towers were not proving as impactful as we would like so we are improving its potency.
— Update notes 		”
Levels Changes
5-17
  • Buff Pyrotechnic Expert buff (4xx Tack, xx3 Mortar, x3x Wizard): Bonus attack speed and blast radius increased ― +10% → +15%
18+
  • Buff Pyrotechnic Expert buff (4xx Tack, xx3 Mortar, x3x Wizard): Bonus attack speed and blast radius increased ― +20% → +30%

Ocean Obyn

[edit | edit source]
“ Ocean Obyn has not had any changes in quite a long time so he was due for a shake up. Increasing the pierce of his Living Coral ability will hopefully give him a new lease on life.
— Update notes 		”
Levels Changes
3-6
  • Buff Living Coral: Starting pierce increased ― 20 → 30
  • Buff Living Coral: Pierce gain per 10 seconds increased ― 10 → 15
  • Buff Living Coral: Pierce cap increased ― 100 → 150

— Update notes 		”
Levels Changes

  • Buff Scratching Post: sub-tower lifespan increased ― 20s → 30s

[edit | edit source]

— Update notes 		”
Levels Changes
10+
  • Nerf Bloon Decoy: Now affected by speed ramping of MOAB-Class Bloons on later rounds
    • Note: Decreases time to last on screen, and limits "layering" of the Decoy on top of blimps
