Quincy has been performing well ever since the First Look builds but now that we have four solid weeks’ worth of play data in, his major ability is just too game defining at such a cheap cost. Bumping this up to 12 and we’ll see how that affects the current meta before considering any other changes. — Update notes

Flurry of Arrows: Bloontonium cost increased ― 9 → 12
While Quincy has been dominating against all other heroes, Gwen’s winrate and matchups have been poor across the board. Her Flame Strike ability is very powerful but is hard to save up for and the payoff requires significant setup. We still like the setup/combo but are bringing the cost down slightly to make it slightly easier to get to as well as increasing the payoff. — Update notes

Max Bloontonium reduced ― 20 → 18
Flame Strike: Bloontonium cost reduced ― 20 → 18
Flame Strike: damage to Bloons already On Fire increased ― 200 → 250
Heat it Up description changed ― "Increase Damage of your Monkeys by 5" → "Increase Attack Power of your Monkeys by 5"
Sun Temple was getting too powerful with Expert Negotiator - the Sun God is now appeased — Update notes
”
When Expert Negotiator is used, the Sun Temple no longer copies the attack power gained from the original sacrifice, instead it gains power equivalent with the amount of monkeys sacrificed on the side of the Expert Negotiator user (bug fix)
Weakening Gas Bloon description changed ― "On Damaged: Lower attacking Monkey's Attack Power by 5" → "On Damaged: Reduce attacking Monkey's Attack Power by 5"
Part of hero-specific card design is that they help to define the hero’s identity and are in general strong cards. SoA has been on the radar for a long time but we wanted to see how it performed in the wild with the full launch card set before making any changes. It’s still just a little too strong so we’re ramping its damage back. — Update notes
*blush* Looks like something got past the balancing team’s bow! Rapid shot can hit more targets than SoA and that flexibility is expected to cost more, but the damage output was far too low here. Bumping it up and adding an extra hit to really help this card out. — Update notes

Rapid Shot improved ― Deals 30 damage to a random enemy bloon 3 times → Deals 40 damage to a random enemy bloon 4 times
Can no longer target Bloons that have already taken lethal damage from previous hits (bug fix)
Hero damage from Badlands is now recorded in the history
