Version 4.6 is the sixth major update to the mobile version of Bloons TD Battles of 2017. It introduced the map Roadblock and more Tower Skins.

The Ninja's Double Shot upgrade is just a little too valuable at such a low cost, easily holding off those early spaced pink/black rushes. This price change should help make the tower more balanced overall.

We've buffed the Sniper's overall attack speed, as well as it's[sic] 0-4 attack speed, in the hope we see it out on the battlefield more often and make it more worthy of one of your three tower slots.

We'd like to make the Spike Factory a more viable option, so we've dropped a bunch of prices across the board to help with that.

We've dropped the price of the Glue Striker ability and made the Bloon Liquefier upgrade significantly more powerful to hopefully make it a more viable tower choice.

It's a tale of two halves for the Ice Tower. We very rarely see the first path upgraded to max and this is likely down to the fact that it's not really worth the cost. Allowing Viral Frost to pop white/zebra bloons should help with that. On the flip side, Absolute Zero is currently too easy to sell and rebuy to infinitely slow down bloons, which can render a costly rush useless. We've bumped up the price to help counter that.

The Ninja-Mortar strategy is still extremely popular in the current meta and we're seeing it a lot in the higher arenas. We've bumped up a couple of upgrade costs to hopefully encourage players to explore other options, whilst still keeping the Mortar a solid tower.

We want to make the Banana Republic upgrade that little bit more cost effective than it currently is, so this tweak should make it worth the investment.

It's awesome, powerful and super, but is very rarely used outwith Bananza/Mega Boost game modes, so we've decreased some prices to hopefully make it more viable without the special Club rules.

The Dartling's first upgrade path tends to be the favoured choice, so we've dropped the cost of its 0-4 upgrade to make it more cost effective.

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.

We think the Engineer is pretty balanced overall, but we've tweaked a couple of prices to bring them more in line with the power of the upgrade.

We think it's close to being just right, but might still be a little too powerful. A decrease in attack speed should mean it'll require support towers to hold off early rounds/rushes, making it more difficult to spam. We've also doubled the initial cooldown for the Misdirection ability as it's just too valuable at the moment.
