note for the chilling cheer, added r/battles2 image for artwork, and wanted to elaborate more for bonnie because it's a damage reduction by a flat amount and not exactly just a 3 to 2 or 8 to 6 for blast and shards

|quote=Fusty’s ability to remove Ice Monkey’s weakness to white bloons was making part of his Chilling Cheer ability redundant before it had a chance to be relevant and was contributing to making Ice strategies too hard to rush. We are moving the global buff to higher in his upgrades so that the effect requires his ability to be active in the earlier game.

We are slightly increasing the spacing between the bloons in the Tight Lead send to take a little bit of the sting out of a very oppressive rush. We are also bringing the unlock round forwards for Tight Ceramics as they struggle to be relevant later in the game alongside MOAB class rushes. — Update notes

Up on the Roof will no longer appear in Hall of Masters games
Quincy has been struggling to maintain his identity as an early game hero so we are increasing his effectiveness in that niche. His Storm of Arrows ability is not as good at cleaning up MOAB insides or handling tight ceramics as it should be so we are adding extra damage to make it better in those situations. — Update notes

Storm of Arrows: now deals double damage to Ceramic
We are changing up Cyber Quincy's abilities somewhat to help distinguish him from Quincy. Cyberstorm's shorter but more consistent damage output should make it effective at dealing with tight MOAB class rushes and the functionally infinite range of his Cyber Shot ability works well with Cyber Quincy's innate ability to shoot through walls. — Update notes

These are just minor quality of life changes to DJ. The change to Beatdown is to prevent Tech Bot from automatically firing the ability when there are no bloons to be affected by it. — Update notes

Bug fixes
Fixed cash sometimes displaying incorrectly on the pregame screen
Fixed the xx3 Ice Monkey not being able to pop bloons with splash damage if the first bloon hit was immune to freezing.
Fixed the game sometimes downloading unnecessary during launch.
Fixed Ice Monkey’s Arctic Wind visual effect showing incorrectly when placed in the water on the right hand side of Neo Highway.
Fixed towers with abilities that target within their range not being able to target areas within the extra range created by buffs.
Renamed “Pop Counters” to “Monkey Counters” in Bloon Lab for clarity.
Fixed the Mortar’s Water Bombs trail effect causing the visual for Pop and Awe to last longer than the ability.
