Tiers Changes
2-X Pursuit
  • Neutral Now automatically changes targeting to Pursuit upon purchasing this upgrade (or placing a card with this upgrade in a Card Battle)
4-X Apache Dartship
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $17,500 → $14,000
The sheer cost of the Heli-Pilot[sic] meant that it was rarely used in non-late-game matches. Reducing its base cost and halving the price of camo detection should make it a more viable option.

Tiers Changes
0-0 base tower
  • Buff Cost reduced ― $1,500 → $1,200
X-1 Bigger Jets
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $500 → $250
X-2 Enhanced IFR Instruments
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $600 → $300
Placing and upgrading a Heli-Pilot[sic] to its third tier isn’t cheap, so we think it should be a little more reliable when it comes to stopping lead bloons. Increasing the attack speed of Razor Rotors should help it achieve that.

Tiers Changes
3-X Razor Rotors
4-X Apache Dartship
  • Buff Rotors attack: cooldown reduced ― 0.3s → 0.2s
As it stands, the cooldown timer starts as soon as you tap the ability icon, meaning you're not required to wait the full period before using the ability again. This change corrects that and it now works as intended.

Tiers Changes
X-4 Support Chinook
  • Nerf Redeploy ability: cooldown now starts after selecting a tower instead of upon activation
Much-like the Super Monkey, the Heli-Pilot[sic] isn't often seen outside of certain Club rulesets. We've dropped a bunch of upgrade prices to make it more accessible in normal game modes, as well as doubled the Downdraft effect when you upgrade to 0-4.
