Jungle's Bounty is the Druid's path 2 tier 4 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It gains the Jungle's Bounty ability, has +10 range (35 to 45), and its leftover vines are improved. Activating the Jungle's Bounty ability grants extra cash per Farm in range, plus a base amount of cash and an extra life.

The leftover vine re-hits and refreshes pierce faster (from every 0.3s to 0.2s), its lifespan increased from 4.5s to 9s (12s with 0-4-1), base pierce from 20 to 30, and damage from 1 to 2.

Jungle's Bounty Ability

When activated, the Jungle's Bounty ability grants $320, plus an extra $130 per Banana Farm within range of this Druid, and 1 life. Its income can be boosted by Monkey City and Level 5+ Obyn Greenfoot. If other Jungle's Bounty abilities are available, all of them will trigger simultaneously.

This ability has a 60 second cooldown, and has a full initial cooldown. It can only be activated up to 3 times per round for each Druid, and cannot be activated after 3 minutes since the start of the round nor during the penalty timer in Boss Bloon Events and CT Boss tiles.

Strategy

This section was last updated for: version 52.2

Jungle's Bounty does plenty of damage on non-simultaneous lane maps but falls off quickly elsewhere. Regardless, it mostly struggles at catching whole Ceramic Bloons (although the stronger vine helps with that), making it a subpar solo saveup for Spirit of the Forest in CHIMPS, and is mostly used for its income generation on game modes that allow it.

Its main strength as an income generator. While not efficient without stalling, it is the most powerful method of farming if done properly. By packing many druids together, a group of 0-0-0 farms can surround and boost their income drastically. Then, by stalling either camo bloons, lead bloons, or MOAB-class bloons, the druids can use as many abilities as possible per round. Once all the druids are upgraded, the farms can be upgraded for maximum income. Both Geraldo and Obyn help with druid farming, as Geraldo can use his Rejuv Potions on the druids and Obyn directly buffs their income. Obyn makes more money in total but makes stalling harder and, importantly, is far weaker for any boss kill the money affords.

This strategy can start as early as round 50 but is most commonly set up in the 60s after a tier 2 boss kill. While it can be done before round 50, it is not very effective then. Rounds are much harder or impossible to stall out, and some money needed to stall rounds means a smaller percent of money can be spent on income. Additionally, Bloon Trap is very strong at making money before round 50, due to there being no pop income penalty, but the druids prevent it from making money.

0-4-1 is the preferred crosspath when optimizing farming, covering potentially more Farms. Buying 0-4-0 first before 0-4-1 should be done to begin its ability sooner. 0-4-0 may also be preferred if 0-4-1 makes it attack moabs at the entrance. 1-4-0 allows the druid to damage lead bloons and increases pierce, which is bad for stalling rounds but better for damage.

We are also starting to look at moving some cash farming potential with Jungle’s Bounty to favour Obyn as the ‘Druid Hero’ more than Benjamin who is meant to focus more on Banks - more on that further down in the Obyn section. — Update notes

”

  • Note: 041 range reduced from 65 to 55

Version 30.0

•  Brambles: no longer has single-layer damage (undocumented)

Version 32.0

“

More needed crosspath reworking for the new 1xx Hard Thorns upgrade, as it now upgrades the druid from sharp to normal damage it doesn't make sense for the track brambles on 030 to not require this crosspath for lead popping. — Update notes

”

•  Vine bramble piles damage type ― Normal → Sharp
  • Note: 1-3-0 retains Normal type damage

Version 33.0

”

•  Jungle's Bounty vine can now follow tower Target Priority

Version 34.0

“

Druid’s vine brambles are very bottom-heavy in power, with high performance leading into a comparably small T4 increase, so some of the pierce is being moved up into the T4. — Update notes

”

•  Brambles: Pierce increased ― 30 → 40

Version 36.0

“

Slightly shifting price down from T4 into T3 midpath, and increasing the base cash amount gained from the ability as it currently needs quite a lot of initial investment to really get going at all compared to other farming options — Update notes

Middle path T4 isn't a very good improvement over the T3 so is getting small improvements to both its offense and cash generation. — Update notes

”

•  Thorn pile: Damage increased ― 1 → 2
•  Cash bonus per farm in range increased ― $120 → $130

Version 39.0

“

Experimenting more with druid ‘life play’ functionality, similar to Heart of vengeance, we’re adding new functionality to Heart of Oak along with improved means of building into this with the Jungle’s Bounty upgrade, however the base pierce of Jungle’s Bounty is being reduced slightly to account for a higher buff potential it now grants itself. — Update notes

”

•  Heart of Oak gains 1% pierce for every life gained from the starting value after the upgrade. Maxes at 100% and diminishes if lives are lost

•  Jungle’s Bounty generates 1 life at the end of each round
•  Track bramble pierce reduced ― 40 → 30

Version 42.0

“

Same as the sniper, group triggering these spam abilities that require no timing other than ‘as soon as possible once off cooldown’ feels like a good quality of life change for those wishing to play alternate farming methods. — Update notes

”

•  Jungle's Bounty ability now triggers all available Jungle’s Bounty abilities when one is used

Version 43.0

“

Passive life generation is being removed in favor of the active ability being the only source of life generation, this allows druid-focus strategies to no longer ‘accidentally’ heal their Vengeance buffs away. — Update notes

”

•  Jungle's Bounty now generates 1 life per ability activated
  • Note: Spirit of the Forest ability unchanged (25)
•  Jungle's Bounty no longer passively generates 1 life per round

Version 44.0

“

Druid of the Jungle’s vine attack rate has always been possible to be influenced by buffs though the time taken to destroy any larger Bloons is simply longer than the base cooldown so this hasn’t been relevant to it, we’ve now given it a normal attack cooldown to the point where the 031 crosspath should make some difference when grabbing larger Bloons. — Update notes

”

•  Vine minimum cooldown increased ― 0.25s → 2.6s

Version 44.1

•  Base attack cooldown reduced ― 2.6s → 0.25s
  • Note: x4x and x5x still depends on other vines to cool off before producing a new vine, which is unchanged

Version 45.0

“

Our initial rework to Vine attack rate in v44 caused some issues at T4, to get around these issues T4 now improves the power of vines directly instead. — Update notes

”

•  Vine brambles: rate that pierce refreshes at can now be buffed by attack speed buffs
•  Description changed ― "Calls in two vines to grab Bloons and thorn piles have extra pierce.

Druid Jungle’s Bounty ability is no more, druid cash generation is now purely a passive end of round bonus. We are looking at possible changes for other abilitized cash generation and would like to hear more thoughts on this. To be clear; we are not simply looking to swap every cash generating ability to a passive, but there should be some choice in when you time an ability activation and we do not agree there was any reason to not spam these on cooldown which makes this a tedious clicking quota. Druid’s cash generation already has interesting interaction so for this case it felt more interesting to focus on that interaction instead, and the new ability gives careful timed activation that can assist in holding off on spending money on DPS towers for longer to effectively earn more cash which is more engaging of a choice to make. More detail in balance changes section later [...] We want different farming methods to have different interesting ways of engaging with them, but when an ability should always be used on cooldown that’s when it really shouldn’t be an ability, while there is strategy in stall tactics there isn’t for that ability timing most don’t have fun engaging with this when they are group spam abilities. Due to this we’ve reworked the druid ability so that the farm interaction is the important mechanic to engage with here instead, and the ability is a targeting method of providing cleanup that does have strategic timing which can be used to focus more on farming with careful ability usage instead of building other defensive towers. — Update notes
