Abyssal Warrior
| |||
|
Coats tridents in a thick ink that slows bloons. Abyssal creature grows in power, destroying most Bloons with ease and enhancing nearby Monkeys with more pierce. | ||
| Tower | Path | Tier | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mermonkey | 1 | 4 | |
| XP cost | 11,000 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash cost | $3,060 — Easy $3,600 — Medium $3,890 — Hard $4,320 — Impoppable | ||
Abyssal Warrior is the Mermonkey's path 1 tier 4 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. Tridents now slow down all bloons up to BFBs, slowing non-blimp bloons by 40%, and MOABs and BFBs by 28%. Tentacles now deal 18 damage, enough to one-shot a standard Ceramic Bloon. All nearby towers now get +20% pierce. This upgrade also increases trident damage from 4 to 8.

| “ | While we’re not jumping into any full on balance changes, there’s a few corrections that we wanted to make for type-fixes and other intended play. — Update notes |
” |
Ink: No longer slows MOAB-Class Bloons more than regular Bloons (bug fix)
Ink: Intended MOAB slow increased ― 10% → 28%
Tentacle attack: Damage type changed ― Sharp → Shatter - Note: This means the Abyssal Creature no longer benefits from Sharpening Stone or Flint Tips
| “ | As the middle crosspath is currently less useful for higher tiers, we’ve upgraded Sharper Prongs to improve Tentacle pierce as well. As the main Trident’s damage falls behind and has caused annoying layer skipping for some more observant players the damage of this attack is increasing at T3 & T4. The % pierce buff is being improved at all levels since this has settled without causing too much of a stir [...] — Update notes |
” |
- Overall cost reduced by $125 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
- Pierce buff increased ― +15% → +20%
- Trident: damage increased ― 4 → 8
- Trident: projectile lifespan increased ― 0.3333s → 0.6667s
- 4-1-0, 4-2-0
- Sharper Prongs now increases pierce of tentacles by 35%
- Ink: Should no longer slow Lead Bloons without the correct damage type (bug fix)
| “ | Abyss Dweller is far too inconsistent before it gains the T4 ink attack, so a lot of price is being shifted up out of this update. — Update notes |
” |
- Upgrade cost increased ― $3,600 → $4,200
- Overall cost reduced by $200 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
- Trident attack no longer ignores Lead Bloons if they have been buffed to damage them (bug fix)

| “ | Abyssal Warrior will now have a slight startup cooldown to limit certain exploity tactics. Middle crosspath trident gains extra projectile pierce to improve early game value. — Update notes |
” |
- Tentacle: Now begins with 0.5s initial cooldown
- 4-1-0
- Trident: Pierce increase ― 2 → 3
- Note: Does not affect splash (6)
- X-3-X Riptide Champion unchanged (18)
- Note: Does not affect splash (6)
| “ | Mermonkey weren’t[sic] feeling they favoured their natural habitat enough, so their Water Placement bonus is getting a boost. — Update notes |
” |
- Range bonus when placed in water increased ― +25% → +35%
| “ | Last update many players felt blindsided when Brickell stopped applying her buff to Mermonkeys since there was no mention in the balance changes section. We would like to apologize for that - it was tasked internally as a bug as it was indeed unintended to work that way. We then left the issue alone for a long time, mostly due to other more pressing matters, and this issue fell through the cracks. In retrospect, it would have been better to treat this as balance rather than a simple bug fix due to how much time had passed. Reading through your feedback, we did consider just reverting the change, however the bigger issue that the feedback reinforced to us was that players considered Mermonkey to be so bad that it was only a "good" tower when used in combination with a single, water-only hero.
This sort of forced synergy goes against our design intentions - namely that Mermonkey being our signature amphibious tower should be able to stand on its own without being balance-locked to an interaction with a single hero. With all that in mind, we feel Mermonkey's highest priority right now is large sweeping buffs to each of the paths, so most of the following changes are our first step towards this starting from the low tier crosspaths. |
” |
- Overall cost reduced by $100 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
- Trident: Attack cooldown reduced ― 0.804s → 0.66s (attack speed increased by 21.82%)
- Note: Attack cooldown reduction from 1-x-x increased from 18% to 25%. The patch notes do not specify that the attack speed buff is only for the main trident attack, all other attacks unchanged.
- Tentacle attack: Pierce reduced ― 32 → 30
- Note: 5-X-X Lord of the Abyss unchanged (80)
- 4-1-0, 4-2-0
- Tentacle attack: Pierce reduced ― 43.2 → 40.5
- Note: 5-1-0+ Lord of the Abyss unchanged (108)
| “ | Top path Mermonkey’s pierce scaled up more than intended from applying its own pierce buff to its own already high pierce so this is being reduced but the T5 Lord of the Abyss will now gain a slight base range increase. — Update notes |
” |
- Tentacle attack: Pierce reduced ― 30 → 25
- 4-1-0, 4-2-0
- Tentacle attack: Pierce reduced ― 40.5 → 33.75
| “ | Mermonkey ended up somewhat underrated and overbuffed, mid tiers for top and middle paths have really stood out here lately and need to be reigned back in line. — Update notes |
” |

- Tentacle: Now deals +6 damage to Ceramic Bloons
