*{{change|x4x MOAB Assassin ability explosion centers around the impact target}}

{{BTD6 tower changes|quote=Blade Shooter has always struggled to find much value without MK or as a step to Maelstrom, so to give it build value on its own we feel like this should be a part of the base value on the upgrade.|version=37.0|tower=Tack Shooter|changes 1 tiers=X3X,X4X,X5X|changes 1=*{{buff|x3x Blade Shooter pierce increased|6|8}}}}

{{BTD6 tower changes|quote=Lowest tiers of ice monkey are far too effective for their cost against ceramics, with this scaling well all the way to round 100, we feel like ice duration against ceramics needs to be reduced to counter this but for now this reduction will only apply until T3.|version=37.0|tower=Ice Monkey|changes 1 tiers=000,1XX,2XX,X1X,X2X,XX1,XX2|changes 1=*{{nerf|000 Ice Monkey freeze duration reduced by 50% on ceramics|note=Tier 3s and above unaffected}}|changes 2 tiers=203,204,205|changes 2=*{{buff|203 Cryo Cannon crosspath now gains camo prio}}|changes 3 tiers=XX2|changes 3=*{{buff|Resolved a number of cases of the xx2 Refreeze crosspath not re-freezing bloons when dealing certain numbers of damage|fix=y}}}}

{{BTD6 tower changes|quote=The Bloon Solver’s rework has been very popular, however, we’d like to have a better lead up into the new mechanics by introducing this earlier at the tier 4 now.|version=37.0|tower=Glue Gunner|changes 1 tiers=4XX|changes 1=*{{buff|4xx Bloon Dissolver now creates puddles on track leading up to Bloon Solver, puddles deal 1 damage, all other stats and crosspath benefits are the same}}}}

{{BTD6 tower changes|quote=This will allow Cripple MOAB to take out regular MOAB layers in one shot until round 100; for such a slow attacking single target tower we feel this will help top path flex, even if mostly for show.|version=37.0|tower=Sniper Monkey|changes 1 tiers=5XX|changes 1=*{{buff|5xx Cripple MOAB damage increased|80|280}}}}

*{{change|420 Aircraft Carrier planes radial damage type|Sharp|Fire}}|changes 4 tiers=400,500|changes 4=*{{buff|400 Aircraft Carrier plane radials damage|1|2}}|changes 5 tiers=4XX,5XX|changes 5=*{{buff|4xx Aircraft Carrier missiles now follow tower target priority}}|changes 6 tiers=XX5|changes 6=*{{nerf|xx5 Trade Empire should no longer buff too many merchants in co-op|fix=y}}|changes 7 tiers=Paragon|changes 7=*{{buff|Resolved an issue where Navarch’s attack rate buff would not apply to Doomship in some cases depending on build order|fix=y}}}}

{{BTD6 tower changes|quote=Spectre is shifting a little of the ceramic bonus around into basic all damage at the cost of reduced pierce, which should make up for lack of single target damage while also making the pierce crosspath more necessary when being used for cleanup focus.|version=37.0|tower=Monkey Ace|changes 1 tiers=XX4|changes 1=*{{buff|xx4 Spectre Dart damage increased|3|4}}

{{BTD6 tower changes|quote=Even with the map-range advantage, rotors are weak compared to any other constant AoE circle like this. Chinook feels like it’s near a place we are happy with now, however we want another tiny nudge on cost while keeping cash generation value the same. Pushing some higher values on the last Comanche Commander changes as the missile attack is effectively such a small portion of the tower’s total damage late game.|version=37.0|tower=Heli Pilot|changes 1 tiers=302,402,502|changes 1=*{{buff|302 Razor Rotors will now benefit from the faster firing crosspath}}|changes 2 tiers=3XX,4XX,5XX|changes 2=*{{buff|3xx Razor Rotors cooldown rate increased|0.75|0.5}}|changes 3 tiers=X4X|changes 3=*{{nerf|x4x Support Chinook supply crate cash generated reduced|$1650|$1550}}|changes 4 tiers=X4X,X5X|changes 4=*{{nerf|x4x Support Chinook max uses per round reduced|3|2}}|cost 1 tier=4|cost 1 path=2|cost 1 prev=10500|cost 1 curr=9500|changes 5 tiers=XX4,XX5|changes 5=*{{buff|xx4 & xx5 Comanche mini's follow the target priority set on their main Heli}}|changes 6 tiers=XX5|changes 6=*{{buff|xx5 Comanche Commander missile damage|7|15}}

{{BTD6 tower changes|quote=As the Rapid Reload crosspath has actually fallen behind in value compared to Burny Stuff for top path Mortars we want to try a slight stun duration increase as this buffs the base path with a larger benefit to Rapid Reload mortars as a stalling option. Mortar consistency is lacking at x3x making it tough to spend on even though x4x is fairly good, so some of the T4 rate is shifting down to help out with this. As the camo property has grown quite weak and currently Signal Flare is considered the best decamo tool, we want to push back slightly on its cost and by reducing the blast radius of the decamo area while emphasizing crosspathing for effectiveness there.|version=37.0|tower=Mortar Monkey|cost 1 tier=3|cost 1 path=3|cost 1 prev=700|cost 1 curr=800|cost 2 path=3|cost 2 tier=4|cost 2 prev=11000|cost 2 curr=10900|changes 1 tiers=4XX,5XX|changes 1=*{{buff|4xx The Big One stun duration non-MOABs increased|0.5s|0.75s}}|changes 2 tiers=5XX|changes 2=*{{buff|5xx The Biggest One stun duration MOAB increased|0.3s|0.5s}}

{{BTD6 tower changes|quote=As Engineer sentries do this already, newly spawned Mini Avatars from temples will now by default match the target priority of the temple.|version=37.0|tower=Super Monkey|changes 1 tiers=4XX,5XX|changes 1=*{{buff|4xx Sun Temple's Magic Sacrifice mini Sun Avatars when placed will spawn with the same target prio as their parent tower}}}}

{{BTD6 tower changes|quote=Alchemist Transforming Tonic is in a weird spot with the transformation unable to attack through walls when the base alchemist is able to. Also with this, including a QoL fix for the T5 that currently prevents transformed towers from functioning with target priority.|version=37.0|tower=Alchemist|changes 1 tiers=X4X,X5X|changes 1=*{{buff|x4x Transforming Tonic transformed alchemist can now ignore line of sight}}|changes 2 tiers=X5X|changes 2=*{{buff|x5x Total Transformation towers transformed by the x5x will keep their Target Priority}}}}

{{BTD6 tower changes|quote=While the tornado doesn't do anything to MOABs, it still spends itself on them which wastes a relatively long cooldown, so addressing this flaw. Avatar of wrath doubles the base attack speed before any scaling is applied, but this hasn’t ever applied to the 205 Lightning, so taking care of that as well. Housekeeping - even deep in the forest, it does actually make life better.|version=37.0|tower=Druid|changes 1 tiers=3XX|changes 1=*{{buff|3xx Druid of the Storm’s Tornado no longer targets MOAB-class Bloons|note=This is a buff as the tornado does not affect MOAB-class Bloons}}|changes 2 tiers=X3X|changes 2=*{{nerf|x3x Druid of the Jungle no longer pops Lead Bloons without 130 crosspath}}

{{BTD6 tower changes|quote=We’ve heard the feedback, so Spiked Mines get a tweak to get more mines exploding but with less pierce on each, to overall increase quality of life in more frequent use but less wasted pierce. This will help out with some of the problems it has scaling into late game super ceramics.|version=37.0|tower=Spike Factory|changes 1 tiers=4XX,5XX|changes 1=*{{buff|4xx Spiked Mines pierce increased|12|20}}|changes 2 tiers=4XX|changes 2=*{{nerf|4xx Spiked Mines explosion pierce reduced|40|30|note=5xx Super Mines explosion pierce remains at 60}}

{{BTD6 tower changes|quote=The 005 crosspath fix in the last update left XXXL Trap slower than previously even if crosspathed to 205, so we are increasing that base 005 slightly to match up the 205 crosspath again so that it isn’t any slower than before.|version=37.0|tower=Engineer Monkey|changes 1 tiers=XX5|changes 1=*{{buff|xx5 XXXL Trap attack cooldown reduced|5.8s|4.6}}|changes 2 tiers=Paragon|changes 2=*{{buff|Resolved an issue where the Paragon’s permanent speed boost per round would not load until the end of the first round played after loading a save|fix=y}}
