The x4x ability cooldown now matches the x5x ability cooldown. Monkey Pirates almost always gets sold after the ability is activated, so this felt like a harmless buff. However, the intention of this change is more so to deal with a bug that affects towers with differing tier 4 and 5 ability cooldown lengths, causing the tier 5 ability to have an initial cooldown if the tower was upgraded too quickly. This is still an issue for other tier 5s that we hope to fix in the future, but in the meantime, this balance change indirectly fixes the issue for Buccaneer by avoiding the bug.

Top path Buccaneer does not see a lot of use and Buccaneer in general does not have a good answer to the new tight sends, so we’ve added some decent pierce and cleanup buffs to Aircraft Carrier and Carrier Flagship.

We would like Aircraft Carrier and Carrier Flagship to be more effective in bloon cleanup, which we have done by increasing the pierce that the darts have against regular bloons but not against MOAB class bloons. For example, Carrier Flagship’s darts remain unchanged when hitting all MOAB class bloons, but they have the potential to hit 4x as many regular bloons now.

Monkey Buccaneer’s income generation is decent early on but it doesn’t quite compare to other alternatives, especially with water placement often being a major limitation. We have upped its income efficiency slightly to address this.

The top path buccaneer does not currently see a lot of use, either as a crosspath or as a main upgrade, so we want to add some buffs to make it a more appealing option. The xx5 Trade Empire’s limit of 20 Merchantmen came from BTD6 and is very difficult to reach in the smaller maps of Battles 2. We are therefore increasing the buff while lowering the cap to make it easier to get the full value of the upgrade in a smaller space.

- "Fixed Buccaneer not firing both cannons when placed too close to land. "

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