*Outside of setups that involve [[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]]'s Rad Bloon Time ability, Fright Night can be used as a niche way to buy more pieces of an OTK setup, however the Bloontonium cost still makes this card difficult to use optimally outside of aggro.

Development

[edit | edit source]

Initially, Fright Night was proposed by community playtesters to be reworked to cost 7 Bloontonium instead of 9 but steal only 2 Gold instead of 4.[1] This change was reverted by Ninja Kiwi for unknown reasons,[1] despite Fright Night being a banned card in the Ninja Kiwi official sponsored tournament hosted several months before then.[1]

This balance change returned for Version 6.4 but with the cost being 8 Bloontonium instead.[2] The main reason was to limit the swing of this Bloontonium power but make it a bit easier to afford; it still retains the swing but is less immediately impactful for winning the game, especially in aggro.[2] Tests for the original proposal were performed by community testers, but found that increasing it to 8 will prevent Player 2 on Turn 3 from playing Fright Night outside of Bloontonium Refinery and Player 1 on Turn 2 in Bloontonium Refinery, to improve Player 1 vs 2 dynamics.[3]
