This section is incomplete. You can help out by expanding it. The editor who added this notice elaborates: Add all balance changes changed since the NK released video
A complete list of changes during development of version 6.0 were released by a community tester who worked on the update behind the scenes:[3]
Extra-Super Monkey: Reworked its ammo and reload (3 ammo and 3 reload → 1 ammo and 1 reload). 15 ATK was considered but was reverted because the card became too weak according to the community.
Regrow Potion: Community feedback reworked it (3 Gold and Regrow 40 → 2 Gold and Regrow 30)
All other cards remained unchanged, however Undead Army was indirectly nerfed by changes to the Revive keyword, and CRRROD was indirectly buffed by changes to Regrow Rainbow.
Other:
Ezili's Totem: Ninja Kiwi decreased Hero self-damage from 50 to 20, and community feedback decreased Bloontonium cost (6 → 5). Both of these changed occurred at the same time during testing.
• New Hero! Ezili is here to hex and vex her opponents! • New card set, Camo Storm with over 40 new cards! • Plus bug fixes and quality of life improvements!
The update notes show Ezili's Sacrificial Totem dealing 50 damage to herself, as it did in playtesting, though the update notes state the final damage amount of 20.
Regrow Potion is mentioned in the update notes, but is not shown in the video.
