Jungle's Bounty is the Druid's path 2 tier 4 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It gains the Vine Crush ability, has +10 range (35 to 45), and its leftover vines are improved. At the end of each round, it produces $120 plus extra cash per Banana Farm and its upgrades within range, plus one life.

Mechanics

edit

Vines

edit

The leftover vine re-hits and refreshes pierce faster (from every 0.3s to 0.2s), its lifespan increased from 4.5s to 9s (12s with 0-4-1), base pierce from 20 to 30, and damage from 1 to 2.

End-of-round benefits

edit

At the end of each round, each Jungle's Bounty earns $120 base cash plus extra for every Banana Farm and its upgrades within range, plus one life. The amount can be improved by external buffs such as Monkey City and Level 5+ Obyn Greenfoot. It is capped at $10,000, to limit cash exploits.

  • Base: +$10
  • T1: +$20
  • T2: +$40

The editor who added this notice elaborates: NEW v53.0 Druid means this section is obsolete
This section was last updated for: version 53.2

Jungle's Bounty's main strength is as secondary income generator once farms are established. Obyn is highly encouraged, as the 50% increase to income and 40% increase to range allow for more farms to be reached and make each one more valuable. Base farms to t2 farms do not grant enough income to warrant Druids, and tier 3 farms rarely do so. 4 Druids can be placed in the area a single farm would take, which should be kept in mind, and that Obyn's range roughly has a radius of 3 Druids. The following table shows how many farms are required for 4 druids to produce a greater amount than the given farm.

  This section is incomplete. You can help out by expanding it.
The editor who added this notice elaborates: IMF loans with/without micro; tier 5 farms.

Note: this table assumes that only the farm in question is in use, and no Monkey Knowledge is active.

If farms are unavailable, using Jungle's Bounty as a source of income is not a good idea.

As a damage dealer, Jungle's Bounty does plenty on maps with only one active lane, but falls off quickly elsewhere. Regardless, it mostly struggles at catching whole Ceramic Bloons, making it a subpar solo saveup for Spirit of the Forest in CHIMPS.

0-4-1 is preferred when farming. 1-4-0 is preferred when using it for damage.

  •   Ability: Base cash generated increased ― $100 → $200
  •   Ability: Cash per Banana Farm increased ― $100 → $150
  •   Ability: Range increased ― 35 units → 75 units
  •   Ability: Now starts with its full cooldown
  •   Base range increased ― 35 → 55
  •   Jungle's bounty ability: range decreased ― 75 → 55
  •   Jungle's bounty ability: cash gained per farm reduced ― $150 → $100
Jungle Druids have been reworked to have more offensive power at both T3 and the T4 while not being quite so good at farming
— Update notes
  •   Vine grab now drops spiky thorns to the track upon popping a target
    • Damage: 1
    • Pierce: 30
    • Pierce Refresh: 0.3s
  •   Vine grab: Can now grab 2 bloons at once
  •   Ability: Cooldown increased ― 40s → 60s
  •   Ability: Base cash amount increased ― $200 → $240
  •   Ability: Cash bonus per farm increased ― $100 → $120
  •   Ability: Now has a 3 minute timeout
We are also starting to look at moving some cash farming potential with Jungle’s Bounty to favour Obyn as the ‘Druid Hero’ more than Benjamin who is meant to focus more on Banks - more on that further down in the Obyn section.
— Update notes
  •   Range reduced ― 55 → 45
    • Note: 041 range reduced from 65 to 55
  •   Overall cost reduced by $25 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
  •   Brambles: no longer has single-layer damage (undocumented)
More needed crosspath reworking for the new 1xx Hard Thorns upgrade, as it now upgrades the druid from sharp to normal damage it doesn't make sense for the track brambles on 030 to not require this crosspath for lead popping.
— Update notes
  •   Vine bramble piles damage type ― Normal → Sharp
    • Note: 1-3-0 retains Normal type damage
Druid of the Jungle’s vines feel too strong already for this, but for quality of life the T4 Jungle’s Bounty Druid will now gain targeting options for the global vine attack, which we hope will make all players as well as Druid fans happy.
— Update notes
  •   Jungle's Bounty vine can now follow tower Target Priority
Druid’s vine brambles are very bottom-heavy in power, with high performance leading into a comparably small T4 increase, so some of the pierce is being moved up into the T4.
— Update notes
  •   Brambles: Pierce increased ― 30 → 40
Slightly shifting price down from T4 into T3 midpath, and increasing the base cash amount gained from the ability as it currently needs quite a lot of initial investment to really get going at all compared to other farming options
— Update notes
  •   Upgrade cost reduced ― $5,000 → $4,900
    •   Overall cost is unchanged (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
  •   Ability base income increased ― $240 → $320
Housekeeping - even deep in the forest, it does actually make life better.
— Update notes
  •   Jungle Vine follows target prio of tower instead of always targeting strong
  •   Jungle Vine Brambles without Hard Thorns are now destroyed by Lead/Frozen bloons
    • Note: Lead and Frozen Bloons are still targetable
  •   Now properly needs Hard Thorns crosspaths to grab lead/frozen bloons with vines (bug fix)
Middle path T4 isn't a very good improvement over the T3 so is getting small improvements to both its offense and cash generation.
— Update notes
  •   Thorn pile: Damage increased ― 1 → 2
  •   Cash bonus per farm in range increased ― $120 → $130
Experimenting more with druid ‘life play’ functionality, similar to Heart of vengeance, we’re adding new functionality to Heart of Oak along with improved means of building into this with the Jungle’s Bounty upgrade, however the base pierce of Jungle’s Bounty is being reduced slightly to account for a higher buff potential it now grants itself.
— Update notes
  •   Heart of Oak gains 1% pierce for every life gained from the starting value after the upgrade. Maxes at 100% and diminishes if lives are lost
  •   Heart of Oak applies for crosspath attacks however note lightning cannot benefit from pierce
  •   Jungle’s Bounty generates 1 life at the end of each round
  •   Track bramble pierce reduced ― 40 → 30
Same as the sniper, group triggering these spam abilities that require no timing other than ‘as soon as possible once off cooldown’ feels like a good quality of life change for those wishing to play alternate farming methods.
— Update notes
  •   Jungle's Bounty ability now triggers all available Jungle’s Bounty abilities when one is used
Passive life generation is being removed in favor of the active ability being the only source of life generation, this allows druid-focus strategies to no longer ‘accidentally’ heal their Vengeance buffs away.
— Update notes
  •   Jungle's Bounty now generates 1 life per ability activated
    • Note: Spirit of the Forest ability unchanged (25)
  •   Jungle's Bounty no longer passively generates 1 life per round
Druid of the Jungle’s vine attack rate has always been possible to be influenced by buffs though the time taken to destroy any larger Bloons is simply longer than the base cooldown so this hasn’t been relevant to it, we’ve now given it a normal attack cooldown to the point where the 031 crosspath should make some difference when grabbing larger Bloons.
— Update notes
  •   Vine minimum cooldown increased ― 0.25s → 2.6s
  •   Base attack cooldown reduced ― 2.6s → 0.25s
    • Note: x4x and x5x still depends on other vines to cool off before producing a new vine, which is unchanged
Our initial rework to Vine attack rate in v44 caused some issues at T4, to get around these issues T4 now improves the power of vines directly instead.
— Update notes
  •   Vine brambles: rate that pierce refreshes at can now be buffed by attack speed buffs
  •   Description changed ― "Calls in two vines to grab Bloons and thorn piles have extra pierce. Jungle's Bounty Ability: Generates cash and 1 life each use, plus extra cash per Banana Farm near the Druid." → "Vines create stronger thorn piles. Jungle's Bounty Ability: Generates cash and 1 life each use, plus extra cash per Banana Farm near the Druid."
  •   Vine attack: count reduced ― 2 → 1
  •   Vine brambles: lifespan increased ― 4.5s → 9s
  •   Vine attack: minimum attack cooldown increased ― 0.25s → 2.6s
  •   Vine brambles: hit refresh time reduced ― 0.3s → 0.2s
  •   Vine brambles: pierce refresh time reduced ― 0.3s → 0.2s

  •   Heart of Vengeance now properly applies to the vine attack (bug fix)
Druid’s Jungle Vine crush time formula has been modified, time taken to crush will now scale up slower but increase more when crushing Lead or Ceramic targets. [...]

Druid Jungle’s Bounty ability is no more, druid cash generation is now purely a passive end of round bonus. We are looking at possible changes for other abilitized cash generation and would like to hear more thoughts on this. To be clear; we are not simply looking to swap every cash generating ability to a passive, but there should be some choice in when you time an ability activation and we do not agree there was any reason to not spam these on cooldown which makes this a tedious clicking quota. Druid’s cash generation already has interesting interaction so for this case it felt more interesting to focus on that interaction instead, and the new ability gives careful timed activation that can assist in holding off on spending money on DPS towers for longer to effectively earn more cash which is more engaging of a choice to make. More detail in balance changes section later
[...]

We want different farming methods to have different interesting ways of engaging with them, but when an ability should always be used on cooldown that’s when it really shouldn’t be an ability, while there is strategy in stall tactics there isn’t for that ability timing most don’t have fun engaging with this when they are group spam abilities. Due to this we’ve reworked the druid ability so that the farm interaction is the important mechanic to engage with here instead, and the ability is a targeting method of providing cleanup that does have strategic timing which can be used to focus more on farming with careful ability usage instead of building other defensive towers.

Jungle's Bounty Ability

edit
  This article or section is outdated and needs to be updated to reflect recent updates or newly available information. You can help out by editing this article.
The editor who added this notice elaborates: I think its worth it to put this in a 'legacy' section to detail how the ability used to work.

When activated, the Jungle's Bounty ability would grant $320, plus an extra $130 per Banana Farm within range of this Druid, and 1 life. Its income was able to be boosted by Monkey City and Level 5+ Obyn Greenfoot. If other Jungle's Bounty abilities would be available, all of them would trigger simultaneously. It had a cap of $10,000 per use, to limit cash exploits.

This ability had a 60 second cooldown, and had a full initial cooldown. It could only be activated up to 3 times per round for each Druid, and could not be activated after 3 minutes since the start of the round nor during the penalty timer in Boss Bloon Events and CT Boss tiles.
