Towers

Dart Monkey

“

Dart Monkey at its core is an early game focus tower, so we added some projectile speed options to try and help with its tendency to miss faster Bloons. Spike-o-pult’s rate was also increased and damage type changed to shatter to be more versatile of a stepping stone in niche setups saving for Juggernaut — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
3-X-X Spike-o-pult	Damage type changed ― Sharp → Shatter  Attack cooldown reduced ― 1.25s → 1.15s Note: Juggernaut unchanged
X-X-2 Enhanced Eyesight	Projectile speed increased ― 300 → 330
X-X-3 Crossbow	Projectile speed increased ― 300 → 360
X-X-4 Sharp Shooter	Projectile speed increased ― 300 → 400 Note: Crossbow Master unchanged at 450

Bomb Shooter

“

We’re really excited about the recent rise in Bomb fame, and we want to encourage this by buffing some of the detracting parts of Bomb Shooters. But larger groups of basic T3 Maulers are now performing far too well against everything when they are intended to be more of a MOAB Specialist. This change means little in the early game, but should pull these groups back a little in more higher round gameplay. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
3-X-X Really Big Bombs	Damage increased ― 2 → 3 Note: Bloon Impact unchanged
X-3-X MOAB Mauler and further upgrades	Ceramic bonus reduced ― +5 → +4
X-4-X MOAB Assassin	MOAB bonus increased ― +18 → +25
X-5-X MOAB Eliminator	MOAB bonus increased ― +79 → +99

Tack Shooter

“

Inferno Ring has felt very outclassed for a long time, and more recently the tack shooter was reworked to give pierce on x2x which made the old 402 pierce crosspath not make as much sense anymore. We wanted to start work on both these issues together by reworking how Ring of Fire and Inferno Ring interact with crosspaths — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
4-1-0 Ring of Fire + Long Range Tacks and further upgrades	Long Range Tacks now grants +10 pierce to Ring of Fire/Inferno Ring
4-2-0 Ring of Fire + Super Range Tacks and further upgrades	Super Range Tacks now grants +10 pierce to Ring of Fire/Inferno Ring (+20 total)
4-0-1 Ring of Fire + More Tacks and further upgrades	More Tacks no longer grants +10 pierce to Ring of Fire/Inferno Ring
4-0-2 Ring of Fire + Even More Tacks and further upgrades	Even More Tacks no longer grants +10 pierce to Ring of Fire/Inferno Ring  Even More Tacks now increases damage by +1 for Ring of Fire/Inferno Ring Note: Ring of Fire damage increased 3 to 4 and Inferno Ring damage increased 4 to 5

Glue Gunner

“

Many people seem to agree 5xx Glue is ‘good’, but simply outclassed (mainly by 5xx mortar at a similar price). This won’t completely fix that, we hope to work on making the earlier stepping stone tiers a little easier to use and provide the 520 crosspath with a better niche by making Bloon Solver benefit from all pierce twice as much (which x2x provides). — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
3-X-X Bloon Dissolver	Upgrade cost reduced ― $3,300 → $2,700
4-X-X Bloon Liquefier	Upgrade cost reduced ― $7,000 → $6,500
5-X-X The Bloon Solver	Now fires 2 projectiles per attack  Pierce per projectile reduced ― 12 → 6
5-1-0 The Bloon Solver + Bigger Globs	Pierce per projectile reduced ― 13 → 7
5-2-0 The Bloon Solver + Glue Splatter	Pierce per projectile reduced ― 16 → 11

Sniper Monkey

“

This tower felt like it’s strength too heavily required the xx2 upgrade, and that this harmed crosspath choices. So we increased the base attack rate while nerfing the increase from these upgrades. This is a slight overall buff — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
0-0-0 base tower 1-X-0 Full Metal Jacket and further upgrades X-1-0 Night Vision Goggles X-2-0 Shrapnel Shot X-3-0 Bouncing Bullet X-4-0 Supply Drop	Fire rate increased ― 2s → 1.59s
5-X-X Cripple MOAB	Stun/debuff duration increased for all MOAB-Class Bloons  Duration for MOAB ― 6s → 7s  Duration for BFB ― 3s → 6s  Duration for ZOMG ― 1.5s → 3s  Duration for DDT ― 1.5s → 4s  Duration for BAD ― 0.25s → 0.75s
X-5-X Elite Sniper	Fire rate increased ― 0.8s → 0.636s Note: 051 increased from 0.52s to 0.4452s and 052 increased from 0.312s to 0.3116s
X-X-1 Fast Firing	Attack cooldown modifer reduced ― -35% → -30%  Overall fire rate increased ― 1.3s → 1.113s (due to a buff to the base fire rate)
X-X-2 Even Faster Firing	Attack cooldown modifier reduced ― -40% → -30%  Overall fire rate increased ― 0.78s → 0.7791s (due to a buff to the base fire rate)
X-X-3 Semi-Automatic	Fire rate increased ― 0.26s → 0.2597s
X-X-4 Full Auto Rifle	Fire rate increased ― 0.13s → 0.1298s
X-X-5 Elite Defender	Fire rate increased ― 0.065s → 0.0649s

Monkey Sub

“

The cost efficiency of Sub Commander's +5 pierce favored low tiers more than we’d like. Fortunately other paths of sub don’t care so much about pierce, so as xx4 AP Darts gives its own large pierce increase we hope lowering the amount of this buff slightly will make driving to T4 more meaningful. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-X-5 Sub Commander	Sub Commander buff: pierce bonus reduced ― +5 → +4

Heli Pilot

“

Pursuit Downdraft has felt like an overperformer for a very long time, but instead of outright nerfing it we increased crosspath potential for those who manually take control over their heli micro. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Pursuit Razor Rotors has underperformed due to distancing itself far too much, so we increased the range of this attack slightly. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
3-X-X Razor Rotors and further upgrades	Razor Rotors: area increased ― 33 → 35
X-3-X Downdraft and further upgrades	Downdraft: rate reduced ― 0.125s → 0.15s
0-3-2 Downdraft + Faster Firing 0-4-2 Support Chinook + Faster Firing 0-5-2 Special Poperations + Faster Firing	Downdraft: rate increased ― 0.125s → 0.12s
X-X-4 Comanche Defense	Comanche Defense: duration increased ― 10s → 12s

Mortar Monkey

“

5xx The Biggest One description updated as it deals much more damage now — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
5-X-X The Biggest One	Description changed ― "Smashes through 20 layers of Bloon over a huge area." → "Smashes deeply through Bloons and layers over a huge area."

“

x5x Artillery Battery description updated as ‘triple pain’ doesn’t describe 4x attack speed very well — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-4-X Artillery Battery	Description changed ― "Artillery battery has 3 barrels for triple the pain." → "Artillery Battery upgrades to 3 barrels for incredibly fast attacks."

Wizard Monkey

“

Second and third path upgrades get some fine tuning for more internal consistency. We want to make slow tweaks here to bring them into better balance — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
0-3-1 Dragon's Breath + Intense Magic 0-4-1 Summon Phoenix + Intense Magic 5-0-1 Archmage + Intense Magic	Intense Magic now grants +2 pierce to Dragon's Breath ― 4 → 6
X-4-X Summon Phoenix X-5-X Wizard Lord Phoenix	Phoenix: summon states now save between games
0-5-1 Wizard Lord Phoenix + Intense Magic	Dragon's Breath: pierce increased ― 50 → 52
X-X-3 Shimmer	Upgrade cost reduced ― $1,800 → $1,700

Super Monkey

“

We were finally able to properly implement a popular suggestion for the Robo Monkey, and will be keeping an eye on it’s performance more closely in this update. In addition to this, Dark Knight’s reliance on Alchemist/Obyn to reach a reasonable pierce value made it too difficult to enjoy teleporting around using Dark Knight’s new ability so we tried to cut out that dependency with a sizable pierce increase. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-3-X Robo Monkey and further upgrades	Middle path Super Monkeys are now able to independently set each arm to different target priorities, instead of fixed First+Last or Strong+Close targeting combinations
X-X-3 Dark Knight	Dark Knight pierce increased ― 3 → 5 Note: xx4 Dark Champion does not inherit the pierce buff from xx3

Alchemist

“

Alchemist is already widely used, but we thought of an interesting way to add some more crosspath value and wanted to take the chance to perform a small rebalance at the same time. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
3-X-X Berserker Brew	Berserker Brew: shots per brew reduced ― 30 → 25
3-2-0 Berserker Brew + Perishing Potions	Berserker Brew: shots per brew increased ― 30 → 35  Berserker Brew: duration increased ― 5s → 6s  Berserker Brew: re-application cooldown reduced ― 5s → 4s
4-X-X Stronger Stimulant	Stronger Stimulant: shots per brew reduced ― 50 → 40 Note: 420 crosspath unchanged
4-2-0 Stronger Stimulant + Perishing Potions	Stronger Stimulant: re-application cooldown reduced ― 5s → 4s  Stronger Stimulant: duration increased ― 12s → 13s

Spike Factory

“

Bigger balance shifts including Super Mines were not feasible for this update, but we did make a meaningful price reduction. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
5-X-X Super Mines	Upgrade cost reduced ― $175,000 → $162,500

Engineer

“

Continuing our efforts to make crosspaths meaningful and fit the style of each path more solidly, a number of crosspath and base level balance shifts were made. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
1-1-0 Sentry Gun + Larger Service Area and further upgrades	Larger Service Area crosspath now increases Sentry range by +4
1-0-1 Sentry Gun + Oversize Nails and further upgrades	Oversize Nails crosspath now allows Sentries to pop frozen Bloons  Oversize Nails crosspath now increases Sentry pierce by 1
2-X-X Faster Engineering and further upgrades	Sentry: deployment rate increased ― 7s → 6s
4-X-X Sentry Expert	Base range of all Sentry types increased ― 45 → 50
5-X-X Sentry Paragon	Paragon Sentry: explosion radius now scales with range modifiers
X-4-X Overclock	Ability: active buff state is now included in save files
X-5-X Ultraboost	Ability: permanent stacking buff now applies immediately upon ability use (instead of on expiration)

Admiral Brickell

“

While Brickell setups have a very specific select group of interactions, it is clear her abilities in this interaction are over performing so we want to try take a slow approach toning these back while we continue to review all Heroes each update. — Update notes

”

Levels	Changes
3–13	Naval Tactics: duration reduced ― 10s → 9s
10–19	Mega Mine: damage reduced ― 5,000 → 4,000 Note: damage at level 20 remains at 15,000
