|quote=Pat Fusty has been lacking synergy with any other towers for a while now and his popularity has suffered a lot because of it. Pat Fusty is a simple fellow so we thought synergy with Primary Monkeys was a good fit and gave him a weaker but more versatile version of Fusty the Snowman’s speed boost. We also made Pat an honorary Primary Monkey so that he can benefit from the Village’s top path upgrades, creating a new use for some fairly niche upgrades.

Spike Factory is getting a lot of use right now in several different popular strategies. Similar to how we buffed the Spiked Mines upgrade in 4.3, we are nerfing the bottom path to encourage different uses of the tower. — Update notes
The Engineer has been languishing at the bottom of the “most used towers” list for a while. This change makes the sentry expert more useful immediately since it no longer needs to wait to generate its special sentry towers, and also opens up some interesting micro opportunities. — Update notes
Description changed ― "Scientist Gwen's highly experimental compounds burn faster and hotter than any normal fire!" → "Scientist Gwen's highly experimental compounds burn faster and hotter when exposed to chemicals like glue and acid!"

Despite having a much clearer strategy, Fusty the Snowman also suffers from very low play rates. Letting him remove the Ice Monkey’s main weakness makes the pairing much stronger in the early game. — Update notes

Ports is a difficult map with a fairly low play rate. We are removing the blue crate to allow a larger variety of starting towers and reducing the cost of removing the other crates. — Update notes
The very fast send speed of Tight Leads made them a powerful source of income which wasn’t their intended use. We are significantly reducing their income gain to reinforce the fact that they are intended to be used as an offensive rush. Tight Ceramic Bloons have been left behind by other tower and bloon send buffs so we are reducing their cost to make them a more efficient send. — Update notes

Tight Lead: income modifier reduced ― +$22 → +$7
Tight Ceramic: cost reduced ― $3,400 → $2,800

In-game description
“
Everyone's buzzing for the arrival of our newest exclusive hero: Beetienne! This busy little bee calls in swarms of honeybees to chase down the bloons and pop them with their sharp stings. Bees aren't just great at popping bloons though, they can also make delicious, life giving honey! Make enough honey, and even MOAB class bloons won't be able to make a dent in your life total! Tasty!
