Balance changes

Jungle’s Bounty Druid is an excellent control card that lets a player stabilize after initial aggro or tempo bursts from your opponent. At 5 cost, it was simply too easy to get into play early and also to get multiple copies out. While good counterplay has already developed, it’s still just too easy to get out so we’re increasing the cost significantly.
While the chip damage from JBD is pretty minor compared to its healing effect, that extra 30 health on the turn it is played as well as continued 30 DPT was also helping this card to be a one-stop shop for anti-aggro. Reducing this ammo to 1 means it’ll have less impact the turn it is played.
We did consider reducing the healing effect, however we didn’t want to completely destroy the cards’ effectiveness in its role as an anti-aggro card. Instead, we’ve made it harder to get into play, giving aggressive players a bigger window to push through damage.— Update notes

- Cost increased ― 5 → 7
- Ammo reduced ― 2 → 1
“
Growth Gas Bloon’s intended purpose is as an anti-AoE/random damage card. This is why it has high health but a very long delay. Working as a stronger Bloon Embiggen in Quincy decks was not intended and meant that it needed to be changed. That combo will still work with GGB but it won’t be as easy to get quick lethals with it. We’re hoping this change will allow it to serve its intended purpose but we’ll continue to monitor its use, particularly in high skill games.

Part of hero-specific card design is that they help to define the hero’s identity and are in general strong cards. SoA has been on the radar for a long time but we wanted to see how it performed in the wild with the full launch card set before making any changes. It’s still just a little too strong so we’re ramping its damage back.

- Damage per arrow reduced ― 150 → 120
“
- blush* Looks like something got past the balancing team’s bow! Rapid shot can hit more targets than SoA and that flexibility is expected to cost more, but the damage output was far too low here. Bumping it up and adding an extra hit to really help this card out.
— Update notes
”
Rapid Shot improved ― Deals 30 damage to a random enemy bloon 3 times → Deals 40 damage to a random enemy bloon 4 times Can no longer target Bloons that have already taken lethal damage from previous hits (bug fix)- Stun now properly stuns for 1 turn similar to the Stunned card (bug fix)
- Now adds Bloontonium equal with its cost after draining Bloontonium (bug fix)
“
Some of our Ultra Rare monkeys aren’t quite strong enough so we’re bumping their damage up slightly.

Sun Temple was getting too powerful with Expert Negotiator - the Sun God is now appeased
— Update notes

”
When Expert Negotiator is used, the Sun Temple no longer copies the attack power gained from the original sacrifice, instead it gains power equivalent with the amount of monkeys sacrificed on the side of the Expert Negotiator user (bug fix)
“
Quincy has been performing well ever since the First Look builds but now that we have four solid weeks’ worth of play data in, his major ability is just too game defining at such a cheap cost. Bumping this up to 12 and we’ll see how that affects the current meta before considering any other changes.

- Flurry of Arrows Bloontonium cost increased ― 9 → 12
- Max Bloontonium increased ― 9 → 12
“
While Quincy has been dominating against all other heroes, Gwen’s winrate and matchups have been poor across the board. Her Flame Strike ability is very powerful but is hard to save up for and the payoff requires significant setup. We still like the setup/combo but are bringing the cost down slightly to make it slightly easier to get to as well as increasing the payoff.

Monkey changes
“
Crossbow Monkey is a little too weak still and needs some love. This brings his DPT up closer to other 4 cost monkeys and gives him a strong 80 damage burst when first played.

- Attack Power increased ― 35 → 40

Necromancer is meant to be a midrange threat that doesn’t defend well but currently lands too late to have much impact on board. Getting them out that much earlier should help.

- Cost reduced ― 7 → 5

Prince of Darkness has an immediate impact on play but his ongoing ability isn’t impactful enough. Making this stronger should make him more of a threat.
— Update notes

”
- On Turn Start healing increased ― 30 → 50
“
HoV is outclassed by Spike’o’pult and Wizard Monkey as a scaling Monkey, so giving him an extra shot to increase his DPT. If you can get him to scale he should be that much more powerful.
— Update notes
— Update notes
”
- Ammo increased ― 2 → 3
“
Blade Maelstrom is intended to be a powerful AoE Monkey that doesn’t need to attack to put out most of its damage. We’re buffing its end of turn effect to help it achieve that.
— Update notes
— Update notes
”
- On Turn End damage increased ― 15 → 30
Bloon changes
“
Swarm Bloons are incredibly efficient, and with 3 charges they allow players to keep plenty of pressure on early. While aggro is not quite as dominant as players might think, it’s still a little too strong at the moment, so we’re bringing the strength of these down.

Another over-costed card with potential, especially with ZJ and other ways to boost Monkey AP we’re hoping this considerable buff will help see a copy or two make their way into some people’s decks.

While Mana Shield wasn’t a _bad_ card, taking up a whole card slot means it needs to be stronger than it is. It should work better now as a very cheap, early defense against aggro decks.
