Changes

Bloon Boost

“ We made Bloon Boosts more powerful few updates ago to ensure that games stayed fast paced and aggressive despite some towers getting sizable buffs. We knew this would be an impactful change and we wanted to give it a lot of time to settle before we altered it further. We feel enough time has passed now and have decided that the new Bloon Boost makes some early rushes a little too hard to defend so we are dialing it back a bit.
— Update notes 		”
  • Neutral Speed bonus reduced ― +40% → +33%

Bloon sends

“ Tight ceramics were a dangerous rush which offered a little too much value for their cost. We are increasing their price to reflect how potent this bloon send is.
— Update notes 		”
  • Neutral Tight Ceramics: cost increased ― $2,800 → $3,200

Monkey Buccaneer

“ The Buccaneer’s popularity has fallen as of late so we are bringing over a popular change from BTD6 to increase its utility.
— Update notes 		”

  • Nerf Cost increased ― $700 → $850
X-3-X Bomber Ace
  • Nerf Upgrade cost increased ― $900 → $1,000

— Update notes 		”
Tiers Changes
0-0-0 base tower
  • Buff Cost reduced ― $800 → $700

Super Monkey

“ We are increasing the maximum value of sacrificed towers to make it more of a decision whether to fully commit to a maxed out Sun Temple or get a less powerful temple quicker.
— Update notes 		”
Tiers Changes
3-X-X Sun Avatar
  • Nerf Upgrade cost increased ― $11,500 → $13,000

  • Nerf Quality Soil: Discount to path 1 and 2 upgrades decreased ― 20% → 15%

Tiers Changes
X-X-5 Monkeyopolis
  • Nerf Upgrade cost increased ― $15,000 → $20,000

Engineer Monkey

“ We want Sentry Expert to have a big impact the moment you purchase it so feel it's important to keep the bonus sentries it spawns. 6 bonus sentries were proving to be too much extra damage however so we are dialing it back to 4 to make it a more measured response to a rush.
— Update notes 		”
Tiers Changes
4-X-X Sentry Expert
  • Nerf Sentry Expert: Initial sentry amount decreased ― 6 → 4

Cyber Quincy
