Spells

Spell Changes
Haste
Haste is a combo-only spell with little value on its own without buffing other spells - so we’re making it much cheaper to realistically combo more often without being such a large mana drain.
— Update notes
  • Buff Mana cost reduced ― 75 → 50
Storm
Storm is a little too effective both at AoE cleanup and also single target, so the rate is being reduced slightly
— Update notes
  • Nerf Attack cooldown increased ― 0.1 → 0.12
Recovery / Nourishment
The cycle of Recovery into Nourishment over and over to maximize XP earnings while never having corvus attack ruins the fun of actually playing this hero, so we’re ending this.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Recovery spell no longer applies cooldown reduction to Nourishment

Knowledge

Monkey Knowledge

Relic Knowledge

We’ve included slight tweaks for a few relic knowledge. Many of these relics are having slight number increases as they seem to have low value across all tile types (relics with low usage only on some tile types have not received changes as they still have value in niche cases), Restoration maximum barrier size is being reduced slightly as it too effectively acts as a complete camo counter in many cases while also providing benefits against non-camo Bloons.
— Update notes
  • Buff Hero Boost: Hero XP multiplier increased ― 15% → 20%
  • Buff Broken Heart: Bonus damage to Regrow increased ― 1 → 2
  • Buff Going the Distance: Range bonus increased ― 20% → 30%
  • Buff Fortified: Bonus damage to fortified increased ― 1 → 2
  • Nerf Restoration: Maximum barrier reduced ― 200 → 150
