Towers

Dart Monkey

“

Spike-o-pult’s piercing power in the extreme conditions is too cost effective compared to the Juggernaut so we’re tweaking these slightly to keep Juggernaut as a proper upgrade in Races. Crossbow Master is shuffling around to a higher damage point that should work more effectively with top path’s pierce — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
3-X-X Spike-o-pult	Pierce reduced ― 22 → 18
4-X-X Juggernaut	Pierce increased ― 50 → 60
5-X-X Ultra-Juggernaut	Main projectile pierce increased ― 200 → 210 Note: Mini-projectiles are unchanged
X-X-5 Crossbow Master	Base attack cooldown increased ― 0.16s → 0.24s  Base damage increased ― 6 → 8  Crit damage increased ― 50 → 80
1-0-5 Crossbow Master + Sharp Shots	Pierce bonus increased ― +6 → +8
2-0-5 Crossbow Master + Razor Sharp Shots	Pierce bonus increased ― +7 → +8

Boomerang Monkey

“

The MOAB Press top crosspath is the ‘better’ crosspath for most cases due to having more than double the pierce as well as a stronger knockback amount on a tower that most effectively uses high pierce, as this is one of the better support towers in the game we are reducing that superior crosspath without nerfing the lesser one to even this more. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
1-0-4 MOAB Press + Improved Rangs 1-0-5 MOAB Domination + Improved Rangs	Special Kylie: pierce reduced by 40
2-0-4 MOAB Press + Glaives 2-0-5 MOAB Domination + Glaives	Special Kylie: pierce reduced by 40

Bomb Shooter

“

Base bomb price is now also lowering to allow more starting combinations to utilize it, this reduced price is moving up only into MOAB Assassin. MOAB Eliminator has solidified itself quite a strong position so price is increasing here, however as it still appears lacking Bomb Blitz which still is swapping with that cheaper price point. For a crosspathing trial we’re removing the limits on Frags buffability & also giving more of a range boost to Extra Range. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
0-0-0 base tower	Cost reduced ― $525 → $375
1-X-X Bigger Bombs	Upgrade cost reduced ― $350 → $250
3-X-X Really Big Bombs 4-X-X Bloon Impact 5-X-X Bloon Crush	Explosion pierce increased ― 60 → 80
X-4-X MOAB Assassin	Upgrade cost increased ― $3,100 → $3,350
X-5-X MOAB Eliminator	Upgrade cost increased ― $25,500 → $28,000
X-X-1 Extra Range and all crosspaths X-X-2 Frag Bombs and all crosspaths X-X-3 Cluster Bombs and further upgrades	Range bonus increased ― +7 → +12 Note: xx2 total range bonus increased from +9 to +14
X-X-2 Frag Bombs and all crosspaths	Frag: damage is no longer capped  Frag: pierce is no longer capped
X-X-5 Bomb Blitz	Upgrade cost reduced ― $28,000 → $25,500

Tack Shooter

“

For a tower that functions best close-up anyway increasing range has questionable viability, Tack Shooter’s middle crosspath has always struggled due to this so we’ve decided to try out a more considerable pierce increase. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
5-X-X Inferno Ring	Meteor: explosion no longer hits camo without Camo detection (bug fix)
X-2-X Super Range Tacks and all crosspaths	Pierce bonus increased ― +1 → +3 Note: Blade Shooter, Ring of Fire, and their higher tiers are unchanged
0-2-5 The Tack Zone + Super Range Tacks	Pierce bonus increased ― +6 → +8

Ice Monkey

“

Adding a lesser MOAB-Benefit to Icicles, leading into the stronger T5 Anti-MOAB capability — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-X-4 Icicles	Blast now deals +8 damage to MOAB-Class Bloons Note: Icicle Impale is unchanged

Glue Gunner

“

Majority of Glue Gunner projectile eject points have been moved around to improve accuracy of their attacks. As the 20s active window for Glue Storm was a very important breakpoint for it to hit in the higher rounds; we've restored this duration but instead increased the ability cooldown by a larger amount as more gameplay strategy and synergies can be used to counter long durations. Small price increase for Relentless Glue as it’s just actually good now lol. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
All tiers	Eject points moved for most upgrade combinations
X-5-X Glue Storm	Ability: duration increased ― 15s → 20s  Ability: cooldown increased ― 30s → 40s Note: This also means purchasing Glue Storm adds 10 seconds to the current cooldown of Glue Strike's ability when purchased
X-X-4 Relentless Glue	Upgrade cost increased ― $3,400 → $4,000

Sniper Monkey

“

Geraldo was the main power carry for Bouncing Bullet so performance has continued to drop with Geraldo synergies being less powerful now, but the save-up window from shrapnel into bouncing bullet has always been an annoying one so we’re happy to lower the price further to make this easier. Supply Drop’s crate value is staying matched to the total cost of the upgrade so it benefits from this small price buff as well. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
5-X-X Cripple MOAB	Explosion no longer hits camo without Camo detection (bug fix)
X-3-X Bouncing Bullet	Upgrade cost reduced ― $2,400 → $2,100
X-4-X Supply Drop	Cash per crate reduced ― $1,200 → $1,100 Note: Elite Sniper is unchanged

Monkey Sub

“

Given the long cooldown we want it to feel impactful in freeplay for longer, so all of the Nautic Siege Core’s ability boss damage is being converted to basic damage & bonuses to MOAB. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
5-X-X Energizer	Buff icon now appears on X-4-X Beast Handlers
Paragon	Final Strike explosion: base damage increased ― 50000 → 60000  Final Strike explosion: no longer deals +10,000 bonus boss damage  Final Strike aftershock: base damage increased ― 10000 → 15000  Final Strike aftershock: no longer deals +5,000 boss damage  Final Strike fallout: bonus MOAB-class damage increased ― +60 → +90  Final Strike fallout: no longer deals +30 boss damage

Monkey Buccaneer

“

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. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
4-X-X Aircraft Carrier	Upgrade cost increased ― $6,900 → $8,000
5-X-X Carrier Flagship	"Planes should no longer occasionally pause attacks for no reason" (bug fix)
5-0-2 Carrier Flagship + Crow's Nest	Crow's Nest grants extra pierce to forward attack ― +0 → +7 (bug)
X-3-X Cannon Ship	Explosion: damage increased ― 1 → 2 Note: Does not carry over to Monkey Pirates or Pirate Lord  Grape: damage increased ― 2 → 3
X-4-X Monkey Pirates	Grape: damage increased ― 3 → 5 Note: Does not carry over to Pirate Lord  Ability: cooldown reduced ― 50s → 45s Note: Does not carry over to Pirate Lord
X-5-X Pirate Lord	Ability: now shoots 6 hooks at a time instead of 3  Ability: number of hooks required for ZOMG increased ― 2 → 3
X-X-4 Favored Trades X-X-5 Trade Empire	Now has a buff icon for its sellback rate buff

Monkey Ace

“

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. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
Paragon	Carpet Bomb: cooldown increased ― 50s → 60s  Carpet Bomb: explosion base damage increased ― 20000 → 30000  Carpet Bomb: explosions no longer deal +20,000 boss damage Note: Total D1 Goliath Doomship damage to Bosses is reduced from 40,000 to 30,000

Heli Pilot

“

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. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-4-X Support Chinook X-5-X Special Poperations	Lives crate collection radius reduced ― 100 → 50
X-5-X Special Poperations	Redeploy cooldown reduced ― 45s → 15s Note: This also means purchasing the Special Poperations upgrade reduces the current cooldown by 30 seconds more  Door Gunner cooldown reduced ― 45s → 15s
0-1-3 MOAB Shove + Bigger Jets	"Should again correctly increase pushback amount" (bug fix)

Mortar Monkey

“

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. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-4-X Artillery Battery	Upgrade cost increased ― $5,900 → $6,500
X-5-X Pop and Awe	Upgrade cost increased ― $32,000 → $38,000

Dartling Gunner

“

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. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
4-0-2 Plasma Accelerator + Powerful Darts	Pierce bonus increased ― +25 → +100 Note: Does not carry over to Ray of Doom
X-X-1 Faster Swivel and all crosspaths X-X-2 Powerful Darts and all crosspaths X-X-3 Buckshot and further upgrades	Turn rate increased ― 360 → 440

Super Monkey

“

Robo monkey still holds its own for too long, easily working into its also very powerful Tech Terror upgrade. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-3-X Robo Monkey	Pierce reduced ― 6 → 5
X-4-X Tech Terror	Pierce reduced ― 9 → 8
X-5-X The Anti-Bloon	Pierce reduced ― 14 → 13

Alchemist

“

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. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
5-X-X Permanent Brew	Upgrade cost reduced ― $60,000 → $48,000  Range reduced ― 65 → 45

Druid

“

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. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
3-X-X Druid of the Storm	Tornado pierce reduced ― 30 → 24 Note: Does not carry over to higher tiers
4-X-X Ball Lightning	Ball lightning projectile can no longer freeze White Bloons by default (bug fix)
5-X-X Superstorm	Superstorm damage increased ― 12 → 120  Superstorm BFB pierce penalty reduced ― +19 → +14  Superstorm ZOMG pierce penalty reduced ― +49 → +44
X-3-X Druid of the Jungle and further upgrades	Vine minimum cooldown increased ― 0.25s → 2.6s
1-5-0 Spirit of the Forest + Hard Thorns 2-5-0 Spirit of the Forest + Heart of Thunder	Vine minimum cooldown increased ― 0.0625s → 0.65s (undocumented)

Spike Factory

“

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. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-2-X Even Faster Production X-3-X MOAB SHREDR X-4-X Spike Storm	Cooldown increased ― 0.98s → 1.05s Note: Does not affect X5X (remains 0.49s attack cooldown)
X-2-X Even Faster Production and all crosspaths	Cooldown modifier reduced ― -30% → -25%
X-4-X Spike Storm	Upgrade cost increased ― $5,000 → $6,000

Engineer Monkey

• "Placing a Master Builder turret at the very bottom of the screen should no longer crash"

Beast Handler

“

Now that the many T1-3 upgrade price changes are settling we’re looking at the next tier up. It does feel deserving of a fairly high level of power compared to other dps towers however the T-rex currently offers too much for the cost so its damage is decreasing. Condor’s value spiked quite high after being hit by buffs at the same time as big buffs to Golden Eagle so its price is being appropriately adjusted upwards, however the total pierce cost for grabbing DDTs is also being halved as previously the pierce penalty it had against DDTs was being shared with the ZOMG cost and was unintentionally nerfed along with that change. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-4-X Tyrannosaurus Rex	Attack base damage reduced ― 30 → 26 (Does not carry over to Giganotosaurus)  Attack damage Beast Power range reduced ― 60 → 52 Note: Max power T-Rex damage reduced from 90 to 78, also reduces the Beast Power modifier to its max bonus stunned damage from +28 to +25. Does not affect Giganotosaurus.
X-X-4 Giant Condor	Upgrade cost increased ― $7,800 → $9,000  +1 Ceramic pierce penalty added Note: Does not carry over to Pouākai
X-X-4 Giant Condor X-X-5 Pouākai	DDT pierce penalty reduced ― +59 → +29

Geraldo

“

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

”

Item	Changes
Shooty Turret	Levels 13+: damage reduced ― 6 → 5
Creepy Idol	Max stock increased ― 2 → 4  Lifespan reduced ― 4 rounds → 2 rounds  Restock time reduced ― 4 rounds → 3 rounds
See Invisibility Potion	Levels 1–13: duration reduced ― 10 rounds → 5 rounds  Levels 14+: duration reduced ― 15 rounds → 10 rounds
Tube of Amaz-o-Glue	Restock time increased ― 3 rounds → 4 rounds
Worn Hero's Cape	Cost increased ― $1,500 → $1,750
Rejuv Potion	Refreshes the entire shop and itself when used (bug)
Genie Bottle	Levels 18+: no longer deals +5 damage to MOAB-Class

Cross the Streams

“

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

Easter eggs

“

It’s important to us that map specific easter eggs aren’t an optimal primary dps carry, especially before they have become public knowledge as this would feel very unfair for events, since if the best way to win is built into the map that would likely become considered the ‘only’ real way to play that map. But now that these are relatively public knowledge and given the ‘entry cost’ is so high we have decided to improve upon these ones. If you didn’t know these existed, seek ye!

”
