Monkeys

Bomb Shooter / Mega Bomb Shooter

“

Bomb Shooter was dependable for clusters of low level Bloons and its overall damage stacked up with other towers, but it still felt lackluster. To keep both Bomb Shooter bombs and Mega Bombs around a bit longer, each have been given 1 extra bounce.
— Update notes

”

•  Number of bounces increased ― 3 → 4

Captain Churchill

“

Churchill is so good, especially in those clusters of Regen Bloons. Too good in fact, and the ability to create a hero cascade was too frequent and needed to be reduced. We still wanted Churchill to feel like an awesome hero, so instead of nerfing him, we’ve increased the damage he deals when he runs over bloons from 1 -> 2. This can make him more effective against certain individual Bloons, but by increasing the amount of damage done, the regen cascade is reduced.
— Update notes

”

•  Tank contact damage increased ― 1 → 2

Adora

“

Adora is a fantastic cleanup hero but overall her damage output was not lining up with other heroes, so she needed a small buff. Adora’s lifespan has increased by 10%.

”

•  Lifespan increased by 10%

Reward values

“

We made several adjustments to reward values across the game - including changes some of you noticed in the last week of November and first week of December. We apologize for the abruptness of these balance changes, and for not communicating them earlier; in the future any between update changes will be announced on Ninja Kiwi Games reddit. We made these changes following the release of 3.0 when we realized our reward economy was too generous, mainly devaluing the wonderful work our artists have done on the cosmetics and scene items and also creating a large surplus of powerups.
