We made Bloon Boosts more powerful few updates ago to ensure that games stayed fast paced and aggressive despite some towers getting sizable buffs. We knew this would be an impactful change and we wanted to give it a lot of time to settle before we altered it further. We feel enough time has passed now and have decided that the new Bloon Boost makes some early rushes a little too hard to defend so we are dialing it back a bit.

Tight ceramics were a dangerous rush which offered a little too much value for their cost. We are increasing their price to reflect how potent this bloon send is.

- Tight Ceramic: cost increased ― $2,800 → $3,200

The Buccaneer’s popularity has fallen as of late so we are bringing over a popular change from BTD6 to increase its utility.

Dartling is hindered by a expensive early game. Decreasing its base cost will make it viable in more strategies.[sic]

We are increasing the maximum value of sacrificed towers to make it more of a decision whether to fully commit to a maxed out Sun Temple or get a less powerful temple quicker.

Druid has felt a bit weaker than we wanted. With the ball of light now homing to the bloons, it should be easier to use its full power. We are also increasing the utility of Heart of Oak as it has felt a little lacking.

The introduction of the Quality Soil upgrade was another impactful change we wanted to allow plenty of room to settle before tweaking it. We feel this change will slow down farms in the early game, but keep their late game impact.

The Monkeyopolis upgrade was proving to be a bit too efficient seeing as it improves bloon income as well as generating cash itself. We are increasing its cost to reflect its powerful money making ability.

We want Sentry Expert to have a big impact the moment you purchase it so feel it's important to keep the bonus sentries it spawns. 6 bonus sentries were proving to be too much extra damage however so we are dialing it back to 4 to make it a more measured response to a rush.

Cyber quincy has very quickly become the most popular hero. This decrease in his initial damage should bring it back in line with the other heroes.

MOAB Decoy was proving to be too decisive in late game battles. Allowing it to be affected by speed ramping means it spends less overall time on screen and thus reduces the amount of time it can serve as a distraction.
