  • Buff Ability: Radius increased ― 40 → 60
  • Buff Pierce increased ― 6 → 8
  • Buff Projectile speed increased by 25%
0-4-1, 0-4-2
  • Nerf Alternate arm no longer has a stronger knockback effect on Leads and Ceramics (bug fix)
We were finally able to properly implement a popular suggestion for the Robo Monkey, and will be keeping an eye on it’s performance more closely in this update.
— Update notes
  • Buff Middle path Super Monkeys are now able to independently set each arm to different target priorities, instead of fixed First+Last or Strong+Close targeting combinations
Additionally middle path has received some basic buffs with middle path has received some basic buffs with Robo-Monkey feeling unbalanced for the high price and difficult crosspathing, Tech Terror not keeping up with other towers that perform a similar role.
— Update notes
  • Buff Overall cost reduced by $2,000 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
  • Buff Ability cooldown decreased ― 60s → 45s
While not considered an issue on the same level for Races, the Bloon Annihilation ability has preemptively had pierce reduced under the same reasoning as Ground Zero and Maelstrom, but by amounts that still likely won’t be noticeable even under most Race conditions - but we’re keeping an eye on it. Additionally the price of this upgrade has been reduced by a fair amount.
— Update notes
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $22,000 → $19,000
  • Nerf Ability: Pierce reduced ― ∞ → 2,000
  • Buff Now remembers target priorities when loading saves (bug fix)
Robo Monkey has never filled the super effective role it held in BTD5, so Dr Monkey has installed updated HUD targeting systems that now deal occasional critical hits. Additionally as the abilities on this path didn’t match up to their history or other Monkey Tower options (like Ground Zero) so they have been improved significantly in damage and increased radius.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Overall cost increased by $1,400 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
  • Buff Ability: Damage increased ― 1,000 → 2,500
  • Buff Ability: Radius increased ― 60 → 70
  • Buff Main attack: Now fires a crit shot every 15–20 shots that deals 10 damage
  • Buff Overall cost reduced by $400 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
Tech Terror's ability runs into niche issues before r100 with some cases causing it to break BFBs into ceramic rushes instead of destroying them entirely, we found a very small damage buff resolves this up to r100, solving this problem for the base game modes, and while we were here added for the possibility for the ability to also deal consistant critical hits.
— Update notes
  • Buff Ability: Damage increased ― 2500 → 2600
  • Buff Every 3rd ability crits for +50% damage
We want the base Super Monkey to feel like more of a ‘weak for the cost’ stepping stone into T3s that feel more like T4s; but the base upgrade really does feel very outdated on this idea, and big crosspath problems exist due to this so we are moving some attack speed out from 2xx into the base upgrade.
— Update notes
  • Buff Overall cost reduced by $1,000 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
  • Buff Base attack rate decreased ― 0.048s → 0.036s
    • Note: Plasma Blasts crosspath remains at 0.024s
We’ve wanted to try out this idea for a while, and finally thought why not. It seemed fun to test with, so we hope people can find some fun use for it in challenges.
— Update notes
0-4-1, 0-4-2
  • Buff Ability: Now knocks back any surviving targets
0-4-1, 0-4-2
  • Buff Ability: No longer knocks Bloons forward in some cases (bug fix)
We weren't sure we’d see the day but the bottom crosspath is now quite used on all Supers, especially so it seems to make Robo Monkey very powerful currently so to address a few different concerns on Super Monkey we’re moving costs from top to middle crosspath
— Update notes
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $19,000 → $18,000
    • Neutral Overall cost is unchanged (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
We lowered the price of Tech Terrors to keep them ‘unchanged’ with Robo’s recent balancing, however in hindsight Robo is still too powerful and Tech Terrors themselves were already good enough that they really should’ve taken the hit along with Robo. Instead as they have risen in power even more, both of these upgrades are being properly nerfed now with a compensatory price buff to Anti-Bloon instead (hopefully not groundhogging to where Anti-Bloon becomes far too powerful and more changes are needed in v43)
— Update notes
  • Nerf Upgrade cost increased ― $18,000 → $25,000
    • Nerf Overall cost increased by $7,500 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
  • Nerf Attack cooldown increased ― 0.036s → 0.045s (attack speed reduced by 20%)
2-4-0
  • Nerf Attack cooldown increased ― 0.024s → 0.03s (attack speed reduced by 20%)
Robo monkey still holds its own for too long, easily working into its also very powerful Tech Terror upgrade.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Pierce reduced ― 9 → 8
Tech Terror is a menace, [...]
— Update notes
  • Nerf Plasma: Pierce reduced ― 8 → 7
1-4-0
  • Buff Projectile radius increased ― 5 units → 10 units (bug fix)
2-4-0
  • Buff Projectile radius increased ― 6 units → 11 units (bug fix)
