Brickell is the first purely-water based hero in the game (Pat Fusty can be placed on both water and land). She drops sea mines into the water, which will home in on Bloons near them. She also has a revolver that pops one Bloon at a time.
Starting at Level 8, she can passively buff nearby water towers, granting +1 pierce.

While Brickell setups have a very specific select group of interactions, it is clear her abilities in this interaction are over performing so we want to try take a slow approach toning these back while we continue to review all Heroes each update. — Update notes

Resolved an issue where reloading a save with level 20 Brickell reduced Mega Mine to level 10 (bug fix)
Due to much user concern with Brickell’s Sea Mines seriously overkilling weak targets and wasting themselves in this way, they now have a short delay between activations. — Update notes

Sea mine: Can now only set off one mine every 0.4 seconds
To help Brickell excel a little better at her thematic niche of water support, we have added a small permanent buff to all water in her radius to allow her to give them a bit of extra juice even during ability downtime. Additional minor buffs to her main slow-hard hitting revolver attack as she levels up. — Update notes

Now grants a permanent +1 pierce to all water towers in range
The Sea Mines delay that was added back in 29 has done well for reducing some of Brickells weaknesses, but as we expected somewhat does add in new weaknesses to rush rounds of Bloons that can now sneak past before all of her mines have been able to acquire a target. To help lessen this new issue she has gained a brand new ability that will allow more Sea Mines to rapidly deploy and find a target over a short duration. — Update notes

Resolved an issue with Admiral Brickell's Mega Mine sometimes not showing stun effects (bug fix)
We had people request a specific funny use case of Brickell on Ravine, which we respect and approve, and overall we wanted to scale her main revolver attack better into late game, so she is seeing slight and slightly experimental improvements. — Update notes

Mega Mine: Explosion is no longer has its vision blocked by map line of sight
Brickell has shown exceptional high level performance, while not fitting in as any intended strong early solo carry. Her base cost has been increased so she won’t come into early play, and Lv20 Mega Mine is having its damage taken down to not quite decimate late game somuch. In return she will have much more pierce, and as it is mainly a niche utility we also want Blast Chain to be available more often. — Update notes
We still want a little more out of Brickell’s single target Revolver attack as it’s the least exciting per of her arsenal so are decreasing the attack cooldown, however her mega mine ability also performs exceptionally well throughout all moab rounds so we want to slightly increase its final cooldown instead — Update notes
Brickell’s Mega Mine has had a MOAB Pierce penalty added to reduce dominant MOAB destruction without also filling up on Ceramics. Additionally she's received small Bloon cleanup buffs with her high powered revolver attack now piercing Bloons in the area, and Blast Chain reducing Sea Mine targeting delay even further. — Update notes
