Heroes

Quincy

“ Quincy’s Storm of Arrows feels a little more like a downpour of wet pool noodles once Super Ceramics & especially their Fortified variants come around. However instead of making a drowning Quincy skin to pair with Lifegurd Brickell we are granting a large bonus to Ceramic Damage for the ability around the point you’ll need to deal with these.
— Update notes 		”
Levels Changes
18-19
  • Buff Lv18 Storm of Arrows deals bonus damage to Ceramics ― 0 → +18
20
  • Buff Lv20 Storm of Arrows deals bonus damage to Ceramics ― 0 → +24

Gwendolin

“ Looking back over her kit, we noticed that we’ve never improved the actual attack itself for Gwen’s Heat it Up. Allowing her to be juiced up with high attack speed in order to spam these supercharged bursts of damage sounds fun and cool, so while noting that this will also increase the uptime of her buff we’re removing the limiter on her Heat it Up rate and pumping up its damage tenfold.
— Update notes 		”
Levels Changes
4+
  • Nerf Lv4 Heat it Up now has pierce of 100
12+
  • Buff Gwen’s attack rate levels (Lv12, 15, 18) no longer reduce Heat it Up frequency
12-14
  • Buff Lv12 Heat it Up damage increased ― 3 → 10
15-17
  • Buff Lv15 Heat it Up damage increased ― 3 → 20
18+
  • Buff Lv18 Heat it Up damage increased ― 3 → 30

Obyn Greenfoot

“ Playing on ‘growth’ with his nature theme we’re allowing Obyn to sustain a long-lasting army of Brambles across multiple rounds, and we are doubling Obyn’s buff to Jungle Druid range to hopefully make it significant enough to enable druids much more power for a mid-late farming setup.
— Update notes 		”
Levels Changes
3+
  • Buff Lv3 Brambles cooldown reduced ― 35 → 30
  • Buff Lv3 Brambles round duration increased ― 1 → 5
5+
  • Buff Lv5 Range buff for x3x druids increased ― 20% → 40%

Benjamin

“ Benjamin’s value as a farming hero is majorly tied to how much more efficient he is at Lv1 than base farms and at a lower cost, whereas his higher levels of cash generation are quite inconsequential. Given this along with his early game snowball being a general balance concern, we're lowering the base cash generation to not be so overwhelming but also pumping up cash generation into his higher levels so he brings a lot more to the table later.
— Update notes 		”
Levels Changes
1
  • Nerf Lv1 cash generation reduced ― $100 → $80
2-7
  • Nerf Lv2 cash generation reduced ― $150 → $120
8-10
  • Lv8 cash generation remains unchanged at $250
11-14
  • Buff Lv11 cash generation increased ― $300 → $1000
15-16
  • Buff Lv15 cash generation increased ― $500 → $2500
17+
  • Buff Lv17 cash generation increased ― $800 → $5000

Ezili

“ Ezili has a good anti-camo build, however as her totem cant be used in CHIMPS and her main attack never upgrades to de-camo DDTs this means she is never able to de-camo DDTs when playing in CHIMPS even though her totem easily counters them in the base game. While we don’t have any concerns with some heroes being relegated more as ‘non-chimps’ heroes, we felt no reason not to solve this simple issue by allowing her main attack to upgrade to counter DDTs as well.
— Update notes 		”
Levels Changes
16+
  • Buff Lv16 Main attack can now de-camo DDTs

Geraldo

Levels Changes
1+
  • Nerf Resolved an issue where Geraldo’s subtowers would be immune to freeze on Glacial Trail after Geraldo is sold
16+
  • Buff Geraldo’s Lv16 Nail Mine should now save correctly
18
  • Buff Geraldo should now restock inventory correctly when leveled immediately from 18 to 20

Corvus

“ Haste is a combo-only spell with little value on its own without buffing other spells - so we’re making it much cheaper to realistically combo more often without being such a large mana drain. Storm is a little too effective both at AoE cleanup and also single target, so the rate is being reduced slightly
— Update notes 		”
Levels Changes
3+
  • Buff Lv3 Haste cost reduced ― 75 → 50
8+
  • Nerf Lv8 Storm attack cooldown increased ― 0.1 → 0.12
“ Higher levels of Corvus feel they have far too much mana which leads to difficult to maintain and less interesting spam of spells, so we’re lowering the range in which Spiritual Balance grants bonus mana recovery
— Update notes 		”
Levels Changes
8+
  • Nerf Lv8 Corvus mana gain curve decay start point ― 40% → 25%
  • Nerf Lv8 Corvus mana gain curve decay end point ― 80% → 65%
“ The cycle of Recovery into Nourishment over and over to maximize XP earnings while never having corvus attack ruins the fun of actually playing this hero, so we’re ending this.
— Update notes 		”
Levels Changes
10+
  • Nerf Recovery spell no longer applies cooldown reduction to Nourishment
“ We wanted to avoid passive stall mana gain with Corvus initially, however in order to grant a little bit more leeway for co-op splits or general bad placement, we are allowing Corvus to passively generate a little mana over time while Bloons are spawning but reducing the mana gain from popping Haunted Bloons
— Update notes 		”
Levels Changes
1+
  • Nerf Lv1 Haunt mana gain per layer reduced ― 8 → 5
  • Buff Lv1 Corvus passively recovers 1mana /s so long as Bloons are spawning

Relics

Relic Knowledge

“ We’ve included slight tweaks for a few relic knowledge. Many of these relics are having slight number increases as they seem to have low value across all tile types (relics with low usage only on some tile types have not received changes as they still have value in niche cases), Restoration maximum barrier size is being reduced slightly as it too effectively acts as a complete camo counter in many cases while also providing benefits against non-camo Bloons.
— Update notes 		”
  • Buff Hero Boost: Hero XP multiplier increased ― 15% → 20%
  • Buff Broken Heart: Bonus damage to Regrow increased ― 1 → 2
  • Buff Going the Distance: Range bonus increased ― 20% → 30%
  • Buff Fortified: Bonus damage to fortified increased ― 1 → 2
  • Nerf Restoration: Maximum barrier reduced ― 200 → 150
