Cannot longer target DDTs if not able to damage Black Bloons

[...] Although, I guess we can mention early that Bomb Blitz itself has been balance changed so that it can now hit the leaking target that triggers it and can potentially prevent any life loss, [...] — Update notes
As it is primarily a small Bloon cleanup tower path, Super Maelstrom has struggled to keep up in the lategame, mostly because Super Ceramics don’t care how fast you’re spinning if you can’t break them so we’ve added a Ceramic bonus to the attack and ability. — Update notes
Super Brittle’s never stood out on its own which was fine for a tower whose job was making other things better, but recently after the addition of Silas we've started to feel its value is really too niche even for a support piece, so we’re cranking the numbers so it can actually break a few things itself. Absolute Zero on the other hand has enjoyed being busted lately, and thanks to a crosspathing bug fix also included this update will be getting even better, since it’s currently freezing everything imaginable we’re counter-balancing that with a nerf of increased damage and higher cost. — Update notes
Global attack: Cannot longer freeze Camo, Lead, White or Zebra Bloons if it cannot damage them
Global attack: Now deals 1 Cold damage
Global attack: Now deals +3 bonus damage to Ceramic Bloons
Absolute Zero ability: Now deals +4 bonus damage to Frozen Bloons
Description changed ― "Bloons take huge damage while frozen including MOAB-Class Bloons." → "Bloons take huge damage while frozen, while Ice Shards rip through Ceramic Bloons like paper!"
MOAB Glue’s always been a bit too clingy & its slow duration against MOABs has been further reduced while lasting longer at higher tiers to keep the base tower in check and give Glue Splatter & higher tiers more purpose in life. Meanwhile, Corrosive Glue now gains bonus MOAB damage so it can now try to serve as an alternate DPS hybrid. Super Glue’s baseline DoT is being replaced with a simple initial hit damage so it also requires the new 205 Crosspath to act as a DPS Hybrid — Update notes
Some quality-of-life and consistency updates for base Desperado and its top path, we enjoyed the balancing act of trying to makeBlazing Sun's[sic] burn lead popping consistent but this didn't come through well so it is gaining base Lead popping. Avenger’s price is going down as it did too little damage for that price range. Meanwhile, The Desert Phantom gains extra initial damage to MOABs as well as Ceramic damage bonuses to the Burn mechanics so it can show up more prepared for Super Ceramics. — Update notes
Ethan Reid's video is taken from an earlier build where the Ballistic Obliteration Missile Bunker is named the "Oblivion Missile Silo" and uses a recolored MOAB Eliminator portrait as a placeholder. Also, it depicted an earlier version of the Three Mines 'Round map with a darker theme and a different arrangement of costs to the crystal clusters.

Notes
The update notes state that some of the balance changes are in response to "that entire 'Exceptionally Brief' feedback video on tower balance", presumably referring to a YouTube video titled "An Exceptionally Brief Tier List Of The Bloons TD6 Monkeys".
The update notes mention the addition of a limited time "2025 Halloween Banner" cosmetic item, but no such item exists.
The update notes contain this section about Perma-Spike:
Smiles brightly, but eyes flick left twice, right once, left again. “Everything is totally unchanged,” the words come evenly. “It’s the same, like always. Nothing to worry about.” Hands tremble slightly while skimming over the changelog for the 3rd… 7th… 25th time. “It’s all completely unchanged.” A wink lingers too long, then another flickers quickly; a bead of sweat traces down a temple. “Nothing has changed. Permaspike is absolutely SAFE here, nothing to ALERT anyone about.” A soft laugh that then cracks, a glance toward the door, fingers tap in three short, three long, three short patterns on the desk before stopping. “The same. Perfectly normal. Like always.”
Pause. Eyes dart to the corner of the room, then back to the camera. “And if anything had changed” — a chuckle, shifting in the chair, a heel tapping nervously — "I’d be the first to say something. But I haven’t. So clearly… it’s all under control.” A wrist rubbed absently, faint red marks left behind; eyes no longer meet the camera.
“You know how I am,” added, with a smile too wide, too static. “Always thorough. Everything documented, every line, over and over. Absolutely nothing out of place.” Another shift, blinking too often now. “Even if there was, it wouldn’t matter. What could really go wrong?” Leaning in closer, voice lowering slightly. “Besides, the system… is working. Always working just like it should!” Fingers grip the edge of the table tightly for a beat, then let go, knuckles pale.
