Changes

Bloon sends

“

A few buffs for the ceramic sends since other rushes are typically more effective than these ones relative to their unlock round. We’ve also increased the price of tight leads so that they are not quite as efficient. — Update notes

”

•  Spaced Ceramic: Spacing reduced ― 0.75s → 0.65s
•  Grouped Ceramic: Cost reduced ― $400 → $350
•  Grouped Ceramic: Spacing reduced ― 0.12s → 0.11s
•  Grouped Ceramic: Income increased ― +$1.8 → +$5
•  Tight Lead: Cost increased ― $1200 → $1400
•  Tight Lead: Income increased ― +$20 → +$24
•  Tight Ceramic: Cost reduced ― $4000 → $3400

Dart Monkey

“

Dart has received a lot of buffs over the updates and has now gained recognition for being dominant tower in all stages of the game. We have decided to weaken its abilities so that it can keep its early game strength while being a bit easier to rush in the mid/late game. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-4-X Super Monkey Fan Club	Upgrade cost increased ― $8,000 → $9,000
X-4-X Super Monkey Fan Club X-5-X Plasma Monkey Fan Club	Ability: duration reduced ― 15s → 12s

Boomerang Monkey

“

There was no reason to ever pick the top crosspath option for Kylie Boomerang since the attack speed buff heavily outclasses the small pierce increase. This change aims to balance the crosspaths so that the superior crosspath is situational. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
1-0-3 Cryo Cannon + Permafrost	Pierce bonus increased ― +3 → +10
2-0-3 Cryo Cannon + Cold Snap	Pierce bonus increased ― +3 → +12

Ice Monkey

“

We’re providing a buff to an upgrade that doesn’t offer too much, to strengthen Ice Monkey’s early game a little bit. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-2-X Deep Freeze X-3-X Arctic Wind X-4-X Snowstorm	Freeze affects more layers ― 2 → 3

Glue Gunner

“

Relentless Glue’s puddles have never felt right on this upgrade path, barely being a noticeable addition in most cases. Therefore, we have removed the puddles and given this upgrade something else to offer instead - greater stalling potential with stunning splats that occur every time a glued bloon is popped. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-3-X Glue Hose	Upgrade cost increased ― $2,000 → $2,200
X-X-4 Relentless Glue	No longer drops glue puddles on the track  Popped Bloons with Glue on them triggers a small splat which stuns nearby Bloons.
0-1-4 Relentless Glue + Bigger Globs 0-1-5 Super Glue + Bigger Globs	On Pop Splat pierce increased ― 6 → 7
0-2-4 Relentless Glue + Glue Splatter 0-2-5 Super Glue + Glue Splatter	On Pop Splat pierce increased ― 7 → 10

Monkey Ace

“

A small quality of life change to give greater flexibility in Ace’s flight pathing. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-X-2 Advanced Navigation	Replaced Centered Path with Advanced Navigation

Heli Pilot

“

Faster Darts does not provide any significant benefit and Heli Pilot is not a common starting tower either. This change is intended to improve both of these aspects. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
3-0-1 Razor Rotors + Faster Darts	Rotors Pierce increased ― 13 → 16
X-X-1 Faster Darts	Upgrade cost increased ― $150 → $350  Dart Pierce increased ― 3 → 4

Mortar Monkey

“

Mortar Monkey has not really been affected by any recent nerfs, still remaining very strong and only seeing a drop in usage due to Etienne offering an exciting alternative. Therefore we think that it’s justified to make some significant nerfs to Mortar’s early game, as it’s been a top tier tower for quite a few updates now. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
0-0-0 base tower X-1-X Faster Reload and further upgrades X-X-1 Dynamic Targeting and further upgrades	Pierce reduced ― 40 → 35
2-X-X Bloon Buster 3-X-X Shell Shock	Pierce reduced ― 45 → 40
4-X-X The Big One	Pierce reduced ― 85 → 80 Note: Does not affect The Biggest One
X-1-X Faster Reload	Upgrade cost increased ― $300 → $400
X-2-X Rapid Reload	Upgrade cost increased ― $500 → $550
X-3-X Heavy Shells	Upgrade cost reduced ― $900 → $800

Wizard Monkey

“

Wizard seems to be in a fairly decent spot in the meta, however we want to give it a little bump to encourage its usage. We’ve made a couple of small changes to Guided Magic so that it’s more dependable early on, as well as a small price buff to Necromancer for slightly cheaper purple popping power. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
1-X-X Guided Magic	Upgrade cost reduced ― $150 → $100  Main attack: seeking targeting angle increased ― 270° → 360°  Main attack: turning rate increased ― 600 → 720
X-X-4 Necromancer	Upgrade cost reduced ― $2,800 → $2,600

Super Monkey

Tiers	Changes
4-X-X Sun Temple 5-X-X True Sun God	Range buff on $15k Magic Sacrifice increased ― +10% → +50%  Now provides +2 pierce buff on $15k Magic Sacrifice
X-X-4 Dark Champion	Upgrade cost reduced ― $30,000 → $27,000

Ninja Monkey

“

These changes buff 0xx Ninja upgrades while leaving 1xx Ninja upgrades unchanged. One major reason for this is so that 023 Ninja can be slightly more dependable. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
0-0-0 base tower X-1-X Distraction and further upgrades X-X-1 Seeking Shuriken and further upgrades	Shuriken attack: cooldown reduced ― 0.7s → 0.62s
1-X-X Ninja Discipline	Attack cooldown reduction reduced ― 38% → 30%
2-X-X Sharp Shurikens and further upgrades	Overall attack speed is unchanged

0-X-5 Master Bomber	Sticky bomb attack: cooldown reduced ― 2s → 0.18s Note: Unintentionally reduced by a factor of 10 due to a typo
1-0-5 Master Bomber + Ninja Discipline	Sticky bomb attack: cooldown reduced ― 1.24s → 0.126s Note: Unintentionally reduced by a factor of 10 due to a typo

Druid

“

We’re introducing this change so that there is a cheaper money generation option available and accessible early on when using Druid. Jungle’s Bounty’s price has been increased so that this upgrade does not become too efficient as a result. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-3-X Druid of the Jungle and further upgrades	Added a second golden vine attack which gives $100 per bloon grabbed and has an 11 second cooldown.
X-4-X Jungle's Bounty	Upgrade cost increased ― $3,100 → $4,500

Monkey Village

“

We’ve never been too fond of Village’s bottom path in this game - with xx3 and xx4 offering exactly the same thing and xx5 benefiting from being paired with Farms, which is not a common tower duo. We have simplified xx3 and xx4 to be simple money generation upgrades comparable to a Farm, and adjusted xx5 so that it no longer has any Farm dependency. Additionally, Grow Blocker has received a lot more attention recently, so we have added a limit to how many bloons it can affect at once. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-1-X Grow Blocker and further upgrades	Grow block: can only affect a maximum of 200 Bloons at once
X-X-3 Monkeyconomy	Upgrade cost reduced ― $5,000 → $1,200  Replaced Monkey Town with Monkeyconomy
X-X-4 Monkey City	Upgrade cost increased ― $7,000 → $7,500  Now produces four $400 crates each round  No longer increases income from Bloon sends
X-X-5 Monkeyopolis	Upgrade cost reduced ― $20,000 → $15,000  Now absorbs other Monkeyconomy villages instead of Banana Farms  Now increases income from Bloon sends by 20%
