Update history:Bloons TD 6/Version 44.0: Difference between revisions

| version = 44.0

| tower = Monkey Buccaneer

| quote = Aircraft Carrier has been performing well above its price point so this is being increased, though it is also worth noting due to a bug fix in Flagship’s AI also in this update we expect it may overall still be improved. Middle Buccaneer has had mixed feedback with much disappointment that the focus of its balance changes haven’t been improvements for the ability, given this path has again lost considerable power we want to look more on both of those aspects this time.

| path 1 tier 4 cost before = 6900

| path 1 tier 4 cost after = 8000

| tiers 1 = 5XX

| changes 1 = *{{buff|"Planes should no longer occasionally pause attacks for no reason"|fix=y}}

| tiers 2 = 502

| changes 2 = *{{buff|Crow's Nest grants extra pierce to forward attack|+0|+7|bug=y}}

| tiers 3 = X3X

| changes 3 = *{{buff|Explosion: damage increased|1|2|note=Does not carry over to Monkey Pirates or Pirate Lord}}

| tiers 4 = X4X

| changes 4 = *{{buff|Grape: damage increased|3|5|note=Does not carry over to Pirate Lord}}

| tiers 5 = X5X

| changes 5 = *{{buff|Ability: now shoots 6 hooks at a time instead of 3}}

| tiers 6 = XX4,XX5

| changes 6 = *Now has a buff icon for its sellback rate buff

| version = 44.0

| tower = Monkey Ace

| quote = Even with the higher cost Goliath Doomship continues to pull too far ahead of other paragons, given that this is mostly an ability based paragon we’ve decided to nerf this ability greatly but also somewhat counterbalance this change for standard freeplay by converting all of the boss bonus on the ability into basic damage similar to our changes for the Sub Paragon.

| paragon changes = *{{nerf|Carpet Bomb: cooldown increased|50s|60s}}

| version = 44.0

| tower = Heli Pilot

| quote = Players have noticed the life crate has more collection radius than the cash crate, and that this causes problems for some strategies / challenges as you don’t always want to increase lives, so these radius have been matched. Special Poperations struggles to fit into competitive strategies due to it serving a different purpose than the T4, so the cooldown of the Support Chinook ability at T5 is now being greatly reduced in order to continue building on what is good about the T4 even for strategies that may not need the Marine specifically.

| tiers 1 = X4X,X5X

| changes 1 = *{{nerf|Lives crate collection radius reduced|100|50}}

| tiers 2 = X5X

| changes 2 = *{{buff|Redeploy cooldown reduced|45s|15s|note=This also means purchasing the Special Poperations upgrade reduces the current cooldown by 30 seconds more}}

| tiers 3 = 013

| changes 3 = *{{buff|"Should again correctly increase pushback amount"|fix=y}}

| version = 44.0

| tower = Mortar Monkey

| quote = We’ve been happily taking our time on this since it's about time Mortar gets some spotlight, but the middle path has been overperforming far too much for a while now so it is about time to start pushing it up to a more reasonable price range for the power it brings.

| path 2 tier 4 cost before = 5900

| path 2 tier 4 cost after = 6500

| path 2 tier 5 cost before = 32000

| path 2 tier 5 cost after = 38000

| version = 44.0

| tower = Dartling Gunner

| quote = 402’s pierce increase is extremely hard to justify over fire rate which increases single target & grouped damage at the same time, so we’re giving it more pierce than it knows what to do with. Faster Swivel while a nice quality of life doesn’t add any power so also ends up difficult to justify on its own, we don’t expect this will change that too much but even faster swiveling should be much nicer for when you do desperately need that accuracy.

| tiers 1 = 402

| changes 1 = *{{buff|Pierce bonus increased|+25|+100|note=Does not carry over to Ray of Doom}}

| tiers 2 = XX1,XX2,XX3,XX4,XX5,101,201,301,401,501,102,202,302,402,502,011,021,031,041,051,012,022,032,042,052

| changes 2 = *{{buff|Turn rate increased|360|440}}

| version = 44.0

| tower = Super Monkey

| quote = Robo monkey still holds its own for too long, easily working into its also very powerful Tech Terror upgrade.

| tiers 1 = X3X

| changes 1 = *{{nerf|Pierce reduced|6|5}}

| tiers 2 = X4X

| changes 2 = *{{nerf|Pierce reduced|9|8}}

| tiers 3 = X5X

| changes 3 = *{{nerf|Pierce reduced|14|13}}

| version = 44.0

| tower = Alchemist

| quote = Permabrew itself granting a range increase was annoying to prepare for and also somewhat hurt what was a very strong synergy for Chinook, so we’re taking away this bonus range but giving enough of a cash difference so that it can pair up with synergies like the Support Chinook more easily.

| path 1 tier 5 cost before = 60000

| path 1 tier 5 cost after = 48000

| tiers 1 = 5XX

| changes 1 = *{{nerf|Range reduced|65|45}}

| version = 44.0

| tower = Druid

| quote = Druid of the Storm’s base pierce is being reduced to put it more in line with other group Bloon stalling supports, however at T5 MOAB-Class pierce penalties are being reduced and damage increased to reduce how much it slows down the game when purchased. Druid of the Jungle’s vine attack rate has always been possible to be influenced by buffs though the time taken to destroy any larger Bloons is simply longer than the base cooldown so this hasn’t been relevant to it, we’ve now given it a normal attack cooldown to the point where the 031 crosspath should make some difference when grabbing larger Bloons.

| tiers 1 = 3XX

| changes 1 = *{{nerf|Tornado pierce reduced|30|24|note=Does not carry over to higher tiers}}

| tiers 2 = 4XX

| changes 2 = *{{nerf|Ball lightning projectile can no longer freeze White Bloons by default|fix=y}}

| tiers 3 = 5XX

| changes 3 = *{{buff|Superstorm damage increased|12|120}}

| tiers 4 = X3X,X4X,X5X

| changes 4 = *{{nerf|Vine minimum cooldown increased|0.25s|2.6s}}

| tiers 5 = 150,250

| changes 5 = *{{nerf|Vine minimum cooldown increased|0.0625s|0.65s|undoc=y}}

| version = 44.0

| tower = Spike Factory

| quote = Spike Factory is currently overperforming on every path, and as it also happens to have one very dominant crosspath choice we’ve opted to nerf that crosspath as an overall nerf to every path. As Spike Storm stands out even moreso than the other paths it is the only one seeing an additional price increase ontop of this.

| path 2 tier 4 cost before = 5000

| path 2 tier 4 cost after = 6000

| tiers 1 = X2X,X3X,X4X,120,220,320,420,520,021,022,023,024,025

| changes 1 = *{{nerf|Cooldown modifier reduced|-30%|-25%|note=Does not affect X5X (remains 0.49s attack cooldown)}}

| tiers 2 = 520

| changes 2 = *{{nerf|Cooldown increased|1.96s|2.1s}}

| tiers 3 = 025

| changes 3 = *{{nerf|Cooldown increased|3.3936s|3.636s}}

| tiers 4 = X2X,X3X,X4X,120,220,320,420,021,022,023,024

| changes 4 = *{{nerf|Cooldown increased|0.98s|1.05s|note=Does not affect X5X (remains 0.49s attack cooldown)}}
