Description changed ― A Wanderer works best alone. Desperado attacks much faster, but not quite as fast the more Monkeys in each weapon's attack range. → A Wanderer works best alone. Desperado attacks much faster, but less so when more Monkeys are in each weapon's attack range.
Description changed ― Attacks faster the more Bloons are in range. When lives are lost gets temporary range and attack speed increase, plus a small amount of cash. → Attacks faster the more Bloons are in range. When lives are lost gets temporary range and attack speed increase, plus a small amount of cash if a Bloon leaked.
You knew it was coming, so settle in pardner. Many touchups are being made for our newest tower, so we will break this down path by path.
Top Path: Standoff’s bonus with fewer targets in radius will now improve at T3, carrying all the way up to T5. Twin Sixes damage is increasing along with the cost reducing to make it start easier and stay effective longer. The Blazing Sun’s DoT area of effect is being improved in radius, pierce & damage to cover more targets easier and deal more damage to them. — Update notes
Area of effect: Damage over time increased ― 50 → 75
“
Middle Path: Crosspath price is lowering for early value, while the rest of the higher tiers in this path see a number of stat improvements to balance out their unique use cases. The T5’s Bounty Mark application is improving with faster passive Marks and the pistol now also applying a Mark to the first Bloon hit by each attack. — Update notes
Bottom Path: After some help & advice from their ride-or-die partner, Enforcer is moving down some attack speed from the Shotgun attack into T1 & T2 crosspath bonuses to improve the crosspath value while keeping T3 roughly similar. At higher tiers Pistol damage has increased for better long-range Single Target performance. — Update notes
Some quality-of-life and consistency updates for base Desperado and its top path, we enjoyed the balancing act of trying to makeBlazing Sun's[sic] burn lead popping consistent but this didn't come through well so it is gaining base Lead popping. Avenger’s price is going down as it did too little damage for that price range. Meanwhile, The Desert Phantom gains extra initial damage to MOABs as well as Ceramic damage bonuses to the Burn mechanics so it can show up more prepared for Super Ceramics. — Update notes
Top and Middle Desperado favour lower tiers too much so we’re doing a light shift on these to more favour upgrades without improving them too much. Bottom path desperado on the other hand suffers on trickier maps due to its low range design so we are bumping up the knockback at all tiers and reducing Avenger’s cost. — Update notes
Bottom path’s Avenger was severely underappreciated when it was last buffed, with that buff bringing in so much attention it is time to step back that power. At the same time bottom path Desperado’s low shotgun range is being scaled up to increase their useful placement, and as a fittingness and fun bonus Nomads[sic] will also be allowed to group up in range of other Nomads[sic] with no penalty. The Desert Phantom also gains more single target buckshot power as this big weakness holds it back considerably. — Update notes
Desperado’s middle path did too many things, so we’re streamlining its kit. The base stat improvements have been removed, instead ramping up its passive Bloon Marking debuff which refocuses the path on its bounty hunting identity and interactions. — Update notes
Mid-path desperado’s pistol was intended to be a soft ‘minimum range’, but implementation was confusing and frustrating to use, somehow again right after Wolfy’s recent struggles (fun videos those), we decided to work on improving the first timer's desperado experience for this path. The Rifle weapon will now always take priority and shoot first over the pistol if there are targets within Rifle radius, HOWEVER, pistol range is now a true deadzone that the rifle cannot target within. TLDR; The pistol now attacks when there are only Bloons within the pistol radius and nothing in the rifle radius. — Update notes
