The editor who added this notice elaborates: Missing arena league changes, bloon send changes, and all changes after dartling
While MOAB Press is certainly a solid upgrade and incredibly useful for things such as stalling ZOMGs, it’s not quite as effective at slowing down the faster MOABs.
— Update notes
Tiers Changes
X-X-4 MOAB Press
X-X-5 MOAB Domination
  •   Special kylie: pushback for MOABs increased ― 2 units → 2.4 units
Bomb Blitz is a great option to effectively deal with large rushes like tight MOABs and grouped DDTs. We have upped the price a bit so that it will be a bit more costly to keep on buying and selling it for its ability.
— Update notes
Tiers Changes
X-X-5 Bomb Blitz
  •   Upgrade cost increased ― $35,000 → $38,000
A small quality of life change to offer added flexibility. It’ll default to ‘strong’ since that is what it targeted previously.
— Update notes
Tiers Changes
5-X-X Inferno Ring
  •   Meteor targeting can now be changed to First, Last, or Close
Absolute Zero lacks utility, not offering enough for its cost. We have added another benefit of using it, as well as reducing the cost of Ice Shards, in order to encourage Ice Monkey’s usage.
— Update notes
Tiers Changes
3-X-X Ice Shards
  •   Upgrade cost reduced ― $2,000 → $1,800
X-4-X Snowstorm
X-5-X Absolute Zero
  •   Ability reduces the speed of MOABs, BFBs, and DDTs to a lower amount ― 5 units/s → 2.25 units/s
X-5-X Absolute Zero
  •   Ability speed modifier now soaks through MOAB-Class layers
It’s nice to see that Relentless Glue finally has more use, however it has offered a bit too much for such a cheap price on a tier 4 upgrade.
— Update notes
Tiers Changes
X-X-4 Relentless Glue
  •   Upgrade cost increased ― $2,000 → $2,200
X-X-4 Relentless Glue
X-X-5 Super Glue
  •   Splash stun duration for ZOMGs reduced ― 0.1s → 0.06s
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.
— Update notes
Tiers Changes
X-X-3 Merchantman
  •   Upgrade cost reduced ― $1,600 → $1,500
X-X-4 Favored Trades
  •   Upgrade cost increased ― $5,400 → $5,700
  •   Cash per round increased ― $1,000 → $1,200
    • Note: Favored Trades cash generation is unchanged
We’ve raised Ground Zero’s price because it is extremely cost effective, offering a top tier ability as well as pretty solid defense with its high-damage bombs. Flying Fortress has been changed so that it can pop Bonnie’s minecarts more easily.
— Update notes
Tiers Changes
X-4-X Ground Zero
  •   Upgrade cost increased ― $14,000 → $15,000
X-X-5 Flying Fortress
  •   Dart: base damage increased by 8
  •   Dart: no longer deals +8 damage to MOAB-Class
Heli Pilot’s large footprint has been a major limitation on the tower’s viability on a lot of maps, so we hope to open up its viability by reducing its size. Comanche Defense has never been a popular choice so we think it’s fair to make it slightly more affordable, and Apache Prime’s damage has been altered so that it performs better against Bonnie’s minecarts.
— Update notes
Tiers Changes
All tiers
  •   Footprint size reduced ― 23×23 → 18×18
5-X-X Apache Prime
  •   Missile explosion base damage increased by 12
  •   Missile explosion no longer deals +12 damage to Ceramics
  •   Missile explosion no longer deals +12 damage to MOAB-Class
X-X-4 Comanche Defense
  •   Upgrade cost reduced ― $8,500 → $7,500
This shouldn't have any impact other than making the Biggest One perform a little better at popping Bonnie’s minecarts.
— Update notes
Tiers Changes
5-X-X The Biggest One
  •   Explosion base damage increased ― 25 → 50
  •   Explosion no longer deals +25 damage to Ceramics
  •   Explosion no longer deals +25 damage to MOAB-Class
xx4 and xx4[sic] are at similar price points but 4xx far outshines xx4. We’ve upped xx4’s damage and price slightly so that it can offer a stronger alternative against certain rushes.
— Update notes
Tiers Changes
X-X-4 Bloon Area Denial System
  •   Upgrade cost increased ― $14,500 → $16,000
  •   Damage increased ― 4 → 5
    • Note: Does not carry over to Bloon Exclusion Zone
X-X-5 Bloon Exclusion Zone
  •   Upgrade cost reduced ― $53,000 → $50,000
The randomness made Necromancer very unreliable and inconsistent - sometimes it’d wipe out rushes easily, other times it’d let the rush by. The community has expressed their issues with this and so we have changed it to limit the randomness. Wizard Lord Phoenix has been buffed so that it can more effectively deal with beefy Fortified BADs or ZOMGs.
— Update notes
Tiers Changes
X-5-X Wizard Lord Phoenix
  •   Lava Phoenix breath: now deals +15 damage to Fortified
  •   Lava Phoenix fireball: now deals +15 damage to Fortified
X-X-4 Necromancer
  •   If graveyard count is above 18, then 18 pops will consistently be deducted from the graveyard count every second

In-game update notes

A brand new hero has exploded onto the scene! Meet Bonnie, the bloonstone miner, and her faithful companion Ceilidh the Canary. Bonnie believes hard work is the best path to wealth. Your monkeys will have to work harder to pop the minecarts she summons in addition to all the bloons, but the hefty cash rewards make it all worth it. Bonnie gets stuck in too with a powerful dynamite attack and by bringing forth the B.E.A.S.T to flatten bloons and give a hefty bump to your bank account.
