Version 21.0

“

Glaive Lord’s 502 gives no use over 520 with how the main attack currently works, so now 502 will additionally apply damage to the secondary revolving attack to target a different niche. MOAB Press spam is overperforming with a high 024 preference, so we are moving pierce from the base 004 into a 204 buff to give this choice some more high density round value. — Update notes

Tiers	Changes
5-X-X Glaive Lord	Rotating Glaives: now deal +2 fortified bonus

Version 26.0

“

To reduce some top crosspath dominance, have middle path stay the true speed crosspath and also provide a small buff to the base Boomerang, Glaive’s attack speed bonus has been moved down into the base Boomerang Tower. Glaive Lord’s innate lead popping has been removed to allow that meaning to remain in the crosspath along with price being reduced to compensate. MOAB Domination’s explosion has had pierce increased to improve consistency on children Bloons. — Update notes

Version 27.0

“

Due to large memory leak issues with Glaive Lord’s stacking DoT which could not be resolved this upgrade has seen a rework to the DoT. Bionic Boomerang’s base attack rate has been improved to compensate for recent reworking of the 2xx Glaives Crosspath — Update notes

”

X-X-5 MOAB Domination	MOAB Domination press attack should correctly explode even if it runs out of pierce (bug fix)

Version 28.0

“

While the higher tiers are quite good, Bionic Boomerang does not feel like a strong stepping ston,[sic] and 052 is still mostly considered an inferior crosspath due to base tower damage already being high, so Bionic’s ability increase to damage has been increased further. MOAB Domination’s MOAB damage has been increased to give it a little more power than just stalling & finally we’re[sic] tweaked up some of the numbers on Boomerang Paragon’s damage to even out some parts of it that were not contributing effectively — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
5-0-2 Glaive Lord + Red Hot Rangs	502 Glaive Lord with Red Hot Rangs crosspath will now use the red-tipped glaives projectile for rotating glaives
X-3-X Bionic Boomerang and further upgrades	Base attack: MOAB bonus increased ― +1 → +2

“

Just a cool/fun factor and “because it should” reasoning here honestly, not necessarily necessary but we think it fits. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
5-0-1 Glaive Lord + Long Range Rangs 5-0-2 Glaive Lord + Red Hot Rangs	Long Range Rangs increases area of Orbitals by +15% ― 30 → 34.5

“

Separately, we noticed the Glaive Dominus press knockback’s actual explosion was only dealing a fraction of the damage of any other part on this upgrade, this combined with it pushing targets out of the tower’s radius made it somewhat stally so we juiced up the power of this explosion significantly. — Update notes

”

Paragon	Paragon Press Attack: Explosion damage increased ― 100 → 2500  Paragon Press Attack: Explosion now gains bonus damage to boss ― +0 → +5000  Paragon Press Attack: Fire DoT increased ― 100 → 500

Version 30.0

“

To buff Glaive Lords middle crosspath as a choice & utilize more of an attack that is mostly rendered useless by this tier, the base damage of the thrown ricochet attack has been increased. Bionic Boomerang’s price has been lowered to make this upgrade slightly more approachable, but Turbo Charge’s price increased as we’re ok with the higher tiers on this path. Finally MOAB Dom’s price has been reduced a little, while this upgrade mostly fits as an early freeplay support/carry this price buff will make it more affordable before then and slightly benefit saveup for the paragon. — Update notes

A small price increase to MOAB Press as combinations of this tower with others slows or spam with more of itself is very strong. — Update notes

Version 32.3

Tiers	Changes
2-0-5 MOAB Domination + Glaives	Resolved an issue where 205 boomerang crosspath reduced the pierce of the xx5 explosion (bug fix)

Version 34.0

“

In many situations, especially moving into the deeper lategame, T4 MOAR Glaives didn’t quite feel like enough of a step up over the T3; leading on into the high ceramic cleanup of the T5 we have decided to introduce that ceramic bonus earlier at T4 along with allowing Glaives to overcome their long-standing weakness of being consumed by nearby blockers at T4 with MOAR Glaives ignoring all blocking objects completely. In efforts to cut down on unnecessarily high pierce for more reliable base stats Glaive Lord is having its excessive orbit pierce converted into high base ceramic damage bonus on the orbit & an added bonus to the main attack as well. When the Dart & Boomerang paragons were first introduced the more expensive T5 upgrades were not taken into account for balance as much as the raw paragon upgrade cost, in addition to this we have for a long time taken a no-MK approach to general game balance, however paragons have proven that they should follow the opposite of this ideal and be balanced around a max MK assumed approach, due to MK balance the Dart Paragon gains an incredible degree bonus, so we would like to counterbalance some of that advantage in the base Boomerang design by reducing the price greatly. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
4-X-X M.O.A.R Glaives	Now deals +1 damage to Ceramic
4-X-X M.O.A.R Glaives 5-X-X Glaive Lord	Now ignores blocking objects
5-X-X Glaive Lord	Main attack: now deals +8 damage to Ceramic  Rotating Glaives: bonus to ceramic increased ― +5 → +8  Rotating Glaives: pierce reduced ― 1000 → 80  DoT can no longer be applied to DDTs from a camo village without being able to deal damage to lead (bug fix)
Paragon	Paragon cost reduced ― $400,000 → $325,000

Version 36.0

“

Boomerang’s Ricochet buildup into T4 feels rough compared to many other options that exist nowadays, ignoring obstacles worked out as a strong fix for the T4 so we want to bring that down to the T3 as well along with some other general tweaks to bridge this gap. Glaive lord is too expensive for so low a single target tower so this is going down. We wanted to include a take on the Boomerang paragon’s range buff improving so much to apply to other primaries along with the buff synergy in the last update, but time didn’t quite allow for it. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
3-X-X Glaive Ricochet	Upgrade cost reduced ― $1,300 → $1,200  Glaives: Projectile ignores obstacles  Pierce increased ― 50 → 60 Note: MOAR Glaives unaffected  Jump distance increased ― 62.5 → 90
4-X-X M.O.A.R Glaives 5-X-X Glaive Lord	Jump distance reduced ― 187.5 → 180
5-X-X Glaive Lord	Upgrade cost reduced ― $32,400 → $29,400
Paragon	Boomerang Paragon grants 0.9× rate to other primary towers including paragons

Version 37.0

“

This part has to be included along with the Lych Soul rework with Paragons which is finally making it in this update after necessary delays. As Boomerang Paragon’s knockback hits so many times so quickly, we need to make it more reasonable when applied to targets that aren’t immediately destroyed. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
Paragon	Glaive Dominus anti-MOAB glaives knockback amount reduced ― 3 → 1

Version 38.0

“

Long Range Rangs is increasing its benefit to be more meaningful of a crosspath choice for the range rather than purely the Red Hot Rangs. Permacharge as a very good T5 doesn’t feel like it needs to have a cooldown buff over the T3 given how small this benefit is. As mentioned above on the Dart Monkey, these Paragons are having their prices swapped around and Boomerang Paragon’s Orbit attack is having the fortification bonus damage removed as this number was so small it added no value to the tower anyway. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
5-0-1 Glaive Lord + Long Range Rangs 5-0-2 Glaive Lord + Red Hot Rangs	Orbitals: Radius increase from Long Range Rangs increased ― +15% → +33%
X-5-X Perma Charge	Ability: Cooldown increased ― 40s → 45s Note: Initial cooldown reduction when bought also reduced from 10s to 15s
X-X-1 Long Range Rangs and further upgrades	Range increased ― 49.45 → 57.19 Note: Long Range Rangs range modifier increased from +15% to +33%
Paragon	Paragon cost increased ― $325,000 → $350,000  Orbitals: No longer deal +2 damage to Fortified

Version 39.0

“

A few buffs for the Boomerang Paragon ended up being split up and spread out over a few updates, which resulted in repeated buffs which didn’t seem so necessary after the first, given the fairly high power level it had in v38, as well as suffering less from the bug fix than the Dart Monkey, it felt like it needed more general nerfs to justify any price reduction. — Update notes

Paragon cost reduced ― $350,000 → $275,000  Cost per power reduced ― $25 → $11.685/$13.75/$14.85/$16.5  Range reduced ― 75 → 60  Main attack: Damage to Boss Bloons reduced ― +60 → +50  Press: Final explosion damage to Boss Bloons reduced ― +5,000 → +4,000  Press: Base cooldown increased ― 2.5s → 3s  Orbitals: damage to Boss Bloons reduced ― +160 → +150  Orbitals: radius reduced ― 60 → 50  Has less Boss damage, especially on Elite and at higher Degrees

Version 41.0

“

Glaives are heavily focused grouped cleanup with low damage but high target count, however this scales poorly into MOABs & lategame so we’re reworking Ricochet to a much cheaper but weaker starting cleanup with MOAR staying a significant upgrade over this. As Glaive Lord is a more heavily concentrated version of the previous tiers we are increasing its bounce distance to a map wide ricochet and increasing the orbital attack consistency. — Update notes

”

3-X-X Glaive Ricochet	Upgrade cost reduced ― $1,200 → $600  Main attack: Pierce reduced ― 60 → 30  Main attack: Bounce distance reduced ― 90 → 60 Note: Does not affect M.O.A.R Glaives
4-X-X M.O.A.R Glaives 5-X-X Glaive Lord	Main attack: Pierce reduced ― 100 → 80  Attack cooldown reduced ― 0.6s → 0.4s (attack speed increased by 50%)

Version 43.0

“

Boomerang base price is being slightly reduced, already a decent start in many cases though this seemed enough to make slight game start changes and price it differently to other towers. The main attack for MOAB Domination has been scaled up as overall it is a good upgrade but the pierce on this main attack was previously unchanged from the T3. Glaive Lord’s main thrown attacks will now be able to bounce back again and hit the same target multiple times, this can be a very powerful effect so there is a cooldown on how frequently any single Bloon can be re-targeted. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
0-0-0 base tower	Cost reduced ― $325 → $315
5-X-X Glaive Lord	Main attack: Now can rehit Bloons, with a 0.6-second interval
X-X-5 MOAB Domination	Main attack: Projectile pierce increased ― 18 → 54
2-0-5 MOAB Domination + Glaives	Main attack: Projectile pierce increased ― 27 → 81 (Crosspath pierce bonus increased from +5 to +27)

Version 44.0

“

The MOAB Press top crosspath is the ‘better’ crosspath for most cases due to having more than double the pierce as well as a stronger knockback amount on a tower that most effectively uses high pierce, as this is one of the better support towers in the game we are reducing that superior crosspath without nerfing the lesser one to even this more. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
1-0-4 MOAB Press + Improved Rangs 1-0-5 MOAB Domination + Improved Rangs	Special Kylie: pierce reduced by 40
2-0-4 MOAB Press + Glaives 2-0-5 MOAB Domination + Glaives	Special Kylie: pierce reduced by 40

Version 45.0

“

With Glaive Lord being the big winner of recent balance, there is a price gap among towers that fill a similar gameplay role so instead of taking away too much power we’re pushing its price up slightly to fit into that gap. We were unhappy with the recent MOAB Press nerf, so this is being undone for further review. Boomerang paragon use has dropped in use recently so we are taking the opportunity to lower its price. — Update notes

Version 53.0

“

Bionic Boomerang is getting a rebalance improving baseline power outside of ability activation while maintaining roughly the same power when ability is activated. MOAB Press continues to act as a very powerful scaling MOAB Stall option, slightly increased cost will add up more when building these in groups. [...] Boomerang Paragon is being rebalanced around a higher price point, and as a part of this change is gaining its own ability Overcharge. Upon activation this immediately grants itself multiple stacks of Overcharge buff which each increase the tower’s attack speed but these stacks rapidly deplete over time one by one until expired. — Update notes

“

Ricochet struggles to find targets to bounce to due to its low range and projectile speed, this was a balancing factor for the upgrade’s low cost however we’ve decided to shift toward higher reliability in exchange for lower pierce. Since Boomerang Paragon’s new ability was ‘capping’ well before degree 100 we have adjusted the ability to be refreshable. — Update notes
