Attack base damage reduced ― 30 → 26 (Does not carry over to Giganotosaurus)
Attack damage Beast Power range reduced ― 60 → 52 (Does not carry over to Giganotosaurus; also reduces the Beast Power modifier to its bonus stunned damage from +28 to +25)
Churchill has propped another pillow ontop of their booster seat and is ready to do some serious damage. We felt the speed of the main cannon attack didn’t fit well for ‘a literal tank’, so main cannon damage is going up at all levels at the cost of attack speed. However even though the dps mostly averages out to something similar, this does make him more effective at utilizing his pierce and with the slower main attack the machine gun more properly performs its job of catching the faster Bloons in that downtime, so its damage is being buffed at all levels to be more helpful at this.[sic] — Update notes
With hero power creeping up for a while now, Adora has been sitting ahead of most all other heroes due to her high level 20 potential so this max level power is being cut back — Update notes

Changes
7+
Blood Sacrifice can no longer select Ice Monkeys upgraded to Arctic Wind and above if their ice platforms are supporting Adora (bug fix)
To give Psi’s Lv10 more breathing room we’ve moved some of the max blowback distance down into the minimum so it stays the same on average, but now with more time before the first Bloons start to get back to the track and reach your defense again. — Update notes

Changes
10-19
Psionic Scream blowback min distance increased ― 50 → 100
Psionic Scream blowback max distance reduced ― 300 → 250
Geraldo has pushed the heroes up into a whole new level of power, and tales are being sung of his ability to dodge nerfs blindfolded, but we are cracking down on some of his interactions with a little bit of QoL consistency being added back in the case of creepy idol. — Update notes
Corvus has taken some time off over the last update and his studies have now paid off! Corvus now has a greatly reduced time taken to reach max level, and his Spiritual Attunement buff has improved to grant much more power when he is not spending mana. — Update notes

Spiritual Attunement max damage modifier increased ― ×1.8 → ×2.5
We’re not jumping on any immediate changes that are too large for our latest hero, however we did want to include some quality of life tweaks & grenade damage to ceramics is increasing across the board as players noted few reasons to pick it over lasers, Aircraft efficiency’s benefit is increasing, and Scatter Missiles cooldown is being reduced so that it can meet some more common breakpoints. — Update notes
Lv3 Scatter Missile should no longer target the workshop base if the intended target is completely destroyed at the same time as the ability is fired (bug fix)
7+
Lv7 Ace/Heli Flight Speed buff now correctly expires (bug fix)
10+
Lv10 Kinetic Charge should no longer sometimes immediately explode when activated (bug fix)
Cross the Streams is a fun mechanic but largely forgotten about, so we want to see how it plays with more of a power bump. — Update notes

Plasma pool pierce increased ― 5 → 8
Plasma pool damage increased ― 1 → 3
