Gerry’s Fire functions in a unique way where it can inherit some self-buffing bonuses of the towers that it’s applied to, although a lot of people have pointed out that since Ninja Monkey always has Camo this means it’s the only non-hero tower that gains a Camo Detection but can never pass it on to the Gerry’s Fire as this doesn’t come from an upgrade. We were hesitant to buff this interaction while Geraldo was much more powerful and his synergy with Ninja was already good, but he’s cooled off enough now that we’re happy to try this out. Additionally with Gerry’s Fire one of our programmers was having some fun with it, and we liked what we saw, so that will also be a thing now. — Update notes
