Also... "staller" as in controlling blimps; btw, eor stalling is different I think? |

Strategy

This strategy section is empty or incomplete. See the strategy guidelines for more information on how to write strategy sections. |
The Desert Phantom is an effective blimp staller that benefits a lot from damage and pierce buffs, particularly Stronger Stimulant, giving it a significant DPS boost and lead-popping. It should be placed so it can fire along a straight line from up close to the Bloons to maximize its shrapnel pierce. Avenger is a stepping stone for this upgrade in the mid-game with a reasonable amount of saveup required.

Attack speed scaling with Bloons in radius should work correctly (bug fix)
Cash bonus on Bloon leak should no longer stack per Desperado- Desperado no longer gains Camo Prioritization when granted Camo detection from external sources (bug fix)
“
At higher tiers Pistol damage has increased for better long-range Single Target performance.

“
Bottom path desperado on the other hand suffers on trickier maps due to its low range design so we are bumping up the knockback at all tiers and reducing Avenger’s cost.

- Overall cost reduced by $2,000 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
- Shotgun: Knockback multiplier for MOAB-Class Bloons increased ― -1× → -2×
- Shotgun: Knockback multiplier for Lead and Ceramic Bloons increased ― -2× → -3×
- Shotgun: Knockback multiplier for Rainbow and below Bloons increased ― -2× → -3×
“
At the same time bottom path Desperado’s low shotgun range is being scaled up to increase their useful placement, and as a fittingness and fun bonus Nomads[sic] will also be allowed to group up in range of other Nomads[sic] with no penalty. The Desert Phantom also gains more single target buckshot power as this big weakness holds it back considerably.
