|quote=This is a bug fix rather than a deliberate balance change but the significant effect it will have on the Prince of Darkness makes it worth calling out here. Previously the POD was using large numbers of bloon souls to create very high pierce zombie MOABs which would cause the graveyard to drain very quickly. POD now uses fewer souls to create much lower pierce MOABs so that it can create more of them over a longer period.
