The bottom path sub is often neglected for the top path Reactor and the middle path First Strike upgrades. While this damage buff may look minor, it stacks quickly due to the high attack speed of the bottom path sub and the xx5 Sub Commander’s ability to double the damage of other subs. We hope this will make the bottom path sub a more appealing choice for DPS on maps where space isn’t an issue while preserving the middle path’s identity as elite MOAB stopping power.

X-X-5 Sub Commander
  •   Damage increased ― 2 → 3
Tiers Changes
3-X-X Submerge and Support
  • "Fixed 3xx Monkey Sub sleeping on the job (visual issue only)."
  • "Fixed 3xx Monkey Sub not visually submerging when the upgrade is first bought. "
We are making the Monkey Sub’s decamo effect more reliable to better cope with the new speed of boosted camo purples.

3-X-X Submerge and Support
  •   Pulse attack: cooldown reduced ― 1.5s → 1.2s
    • Note: Does not affect Bloontonium Reactor or Energizer
The xx4 Sub is very strong at all points in the game. We are moving some of its damage to be MOAB exclusive and increasing its cost slightly to hinder its ability to defend by itself.
