5-X-X Superstorm

X-4-X Jungle's Bounty
  • Nerf Upgrade cost increased ― $2,800 → $3,000

x3x is pretty much always skipped over to get to x4x, rather than being an upgrade that can offer its own merit. Its price has been cut considerably whilst bumping up the x4x cost so that the total cost for a Jungle’s Bounty Druid remains unchanged.

Tiers Changes
X-3-X Druid of the Jungle
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $750 → $450
X-4-X Jungle's Bounty
  • Nerf Upgrade cost increased ― $2,800 → $3,100
We’re introducing this change so that there is a cheaper money generation option available and accessible early on when using Druid. Jungle’s Bounty’s price has been increased so that this upgrade does not become too efficient as a result.

Tiers Changes
X-3-X Druid of the Jungle and further upgrades
  • Buff Golden vine attack added
X-4-X Jungle's Bounty
  • Nerf Upgrade cost increased ― $3,100 → $4,500
Druid of the Jungle very recently received a big nerf and while it certainly still is strong, we’re not yet convinced that it needs any more significant changes. For now we’ve decided to just make some small price adjustments. With these changes, it’ll now be slightly more expensive to quickly and easily buy 1xx on your 030 Druids as a very cheap option to strengthen your defense.

It is evident that Druid is too dominant in the current meta and we would like to make some quick changes to address this. We have nerfed Druid of the Jungle’s cash vine attack rate and prevented it from being affected by Heart of Vengeance since this interaction resulted in Druids generating far too much money in the early game. We hope that the combination of these changes is enough to ensure that Druid does not remain quite so oppressive.

  • Nerf Now removes glue from Bloons hit by tornadoes (bug fix)
Tiers Changes
3-X-X Druid of the Storm
  • "Fixed 3xx Druid animating incorrectly when firing lightning. "
These changes aim to spread the power of the Druid around a little rather than having the Avatar of Wrath as the one, standout upgrade.

X-X-5 Avatar of Wrath
  • Nerf Upgrade cost increased ― $45,000 → $52,000
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.

  • Buff Ball Lightning: lightning ball now homes towards bloons
X-2-X Heart of Oak and further upgrades
  • Buff All attacks now have 33% chance to strip Fortified properties from non-MOAB bloons
Druid has fallen down the ranks of player pick rate. We are increasing the maximum damage of Avatar of Wrath to make it more viable.

Tiers Changes
X-X-5 Avatar of Wrath
  • Buff Damage buff per 3,000 RBE on-screen cap increased ― +24 → +30
We are buffing the early game of Druid as it was underperforming. We are also nerfing Ball Lightning, as a recent bug fix gave it a buff making it overall a bit too strong. The Avatar of Wrath was overperforming slightly as well.
