This upgrade is not very useful in a vacuum, but it becomes much better with multiple Mermonkeys, especially if they're placed on water. Purchasing Mermonkeys just to stack this upgrade is not worth it, but if a strategy already depends on multiple Mermonkeys, this upgrade can be a significant benefit. The range bonus matters more on maps without intrusive obstacles that Mermonkeys otherwise have range issues on, such as Tricky Tracks and Quad.
- The Final Harmonic benefits the most, since it needs to cover a wide amount of track to catch many BFBs and ZOMGs at once.
- For Abyss Dweller and above, this range bonus allows its tentacles to reach more track, and if it reaches enough track all its tentacles can be used. Generally, after about 3+ Echosense Network Mermonkeys, its range becomes large enough to reliably fit another small-to-medium tower within its range.

While we’re not jumping into any full on balance changes, there’s a few corrections that we wanted to make for type-fixes and other intended play.

Echosense Network hasn’t felt like it is doing all that it could, so we have increased the maximum number of stacks to raise the ceiling of use here as it is meant to be slow ramping with a high space & cost investment to build heavily into.

Overall cost reduced by $125 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)- Echosense: maximum stack count increased ― 5 → 10
- Note: This means the maximum range buff has increased from +30% to +60%
- Trident: projectile lifespan increased ― 0.5s → 1s
Description changed ― "Increases range for all Echosense Mermonkeys. Stacks up to 5 times." → "Increases range for all Echosense Mermonkeys. Stacks up to 10 times."
- Overall cost reduced by $100 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
- Echosense Network now works with Mermonkeys converted by Total Transformation
- 5-0-2
- Echosense Network: Range bonus should no longer be lower than intended when placing the Mermonkey on water (bug fix)

Mermonkey weren’t[sic] feeling they favoured their natural habitat enough, so their Water Placement bonus is getting a boost.

Last update many players felt blindsided when Brickell stopped applying her buff to Mermonkeys since there was no mention in the balance changes section. We would like to apologize for that - it was tasked internally as a bug as it was indeed unintended to work that way. We then left the issue alone for a long time, mostly due to other more pressing matters, and this issue fell through the cracks. In retrospect, it would have been better to treat this as balance rather than a simple bug fix due to how much time had passed. Reading through your feedback, we did consider just reverting the change, however the bigger issue that the feedback reinforced to us was that players considered Mermonkey to be so bad that it was only a "good" tower when used in combination with a single, water-only hero.
This sort of forced synergy goes against our design intentions - namely that Mermonkey being our signature amphibious tower should be able to stand on its own without being balance-locked to an interaction with a single hero. With all that in mind, we feel Mermonkey's highest priority right now is large sweeping buffs to each of the paths, so most of the following changes are our first step towards this starting from the low tier crosspaths.

Echosense's previous change was quite an overbuff and many players felt this invalidated the water placement bonuses so we are lowering this again but not all the way back.

Mermonkey ended up somewhat underrated and overbuffed, mid tiers for top and middle paths have really stood out here lately and need to be reigned back in line.
