Shield Gas Bloon was proposed to have its Health increased from 150 to 200 in the Version 6.2 playtests, but Ninja Kiwi reduced the bonus Health to +10 (160 Health).<ref name="odyssey-6.2-reddit">{{cite|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/bloonscardstorm/comments/1pok2de/bcs_62_development_changes/|title=BCS 6.2 Tester Commentary|publisher=Reddit, r/bloonscardstorm}}</ref> The resulting balance change was deemed a minor but useful balance change by some playtesters.<ref name="odyssey-6.2-video">{{cite|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTs-Rj9TCVw|title=BCS 6.2 Tester Commentary|publisher=YouTube, Odyssey}}</ref> | |||
