Maps

Polyphemus

“

Polyphemus annoyed me in Rogue one time too many; so now Bloons will loop once around The Eye before exiting the track. This is purely to give them more time to think about what they have done and does not mean they are forgiven. — Update notes

”

•  The Bloons now will do one lap over the eye
  • Note: Hard RBS increased from 19.3 to 26.9

Ancient Portal

•  The damage of the totems does not increase by round number (undocumented) (bug)

Tower changes

Dart Monkey

“

Bottom path Dart Monkey has trouble with missing targets and tier 4 in particular seems to be a poor stepping stone for Crosspath Master, so Sharpshooter will now grant a large projectile speed boost and has greater of an attack speed increase — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-X-4 Sharp Shooter	Attack cooldown reduced ― 0.6s → 0.475s (attack speed increased by 26.32%) Note: Stacks with the middle crosspath ― 0.51s → 0.4038s for 0-1-4 and ― 0.402s → 0.3183s for 0-2-4

Boomerang Monkey

“

MOAR Glaives is shifting into a lower price point, and Glaive Lord is seeing a general shift around increasing rate and pierce but lowering bonuses as a simplification. Faster Rangs has had some inconsistency resolved for an overall crosspathing improvement — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
4-X-X M.O.A.R Glaives	Upgrade cost reduced ― $3,000 → $2,000
4-X-X M.O.A.R Glaives 5-X-X Glaive Lord	Thrown Glaive: Pierce reduced ― 80 → 60

Tack Shooter

“

Range fits well for this path, so we’re working this more into the main attack of middle path — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-3-X Blade Shooter and further upgrades	Acquisition range increased ― 31 → 46  Blade: Projectile range increased ― 49.24 → 64
Paragon	No longer grants full map range to Advanced Intel Subs (bug fix)

Ice Monkey

“

Cryo Cannon’s damage has lowered to more effectively stall, while Icicles damage stays the same and increases for the Icicle projectiles to help it be a stronger damage focus upgrade. Arctic Wind’s price is shifting up into Snowstorm to allow for cheaper utility use. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-3-X Arctic Wind	Upgrade cost reduced ― $2,800 → $2,500
X-4-X Snowstorm	Upgrade cost increased ― $3,800 → $4,000
0-4-X Snowstorm 1-4-0 Snowstorm + Permafrost	Damage type ― Shatter → Sharp (undocumented) Note: Causes snowstorm ability to only have 1 pierce and unable to damage bloons
X-5-X Absolute Zero	Aura: MOAB-class slow increased ― 20% → 30%
X-X-3 Cryo Cannon	Blast: damage decreased ― 2 → 1 Note: Nerf to mid-game damage, but a buff to stalling potential. Does not affect xx4.
X-X-4 Icicles X-X-5 Icicle Impale	Shard: Damage increased ― 2 → 3

Glue Gunner

“

Bloon Solver performs a little too strong still so the MOAB Bonus is being reduced. There’s currently little reason to take top crosspath for middle glue gunners due to Stickier Glue working for the debuffing effects on this path, so Corrosive Glue will now increase the damage taken debuff for a shorter but more powerful burst of damage. We’re trying out a funny crosspathing change for 205 glue to give greater potential for chain reactions to quickly wipe out lower layers. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
5-X-X The Bloon Solver	DoT: bonus MOAB-class damage reduced ― +5 → +4
2-4-0 Glue Strike + Corrosive Glue 2-5-0 Glue Storm + Corrosive Glue	Ability debuff: bonus damage debuff increased ― +2 → +3 Note: Also affects the DoT on glued bloons
0-X-5 Super Glue 0-1-5 Super Glue + Bigger Globs	DoT: Decreased tick cooldown ― 2.3s → 2.0s
2-0-5 Super Glue + Corrosive Glue	DoT: No longer has reduced DoT tick cooldown ― 1.8s → 2.0s  On-pop splat: Now additionally deals 1 damage to affected bloons Note: This assists mid-game chain reactions with on-pop splats  On-pop splat: Damage is no longer capped at 0 (undocumented)

Sniper Monkey

“

Supply Drop is a weak stepping stone without considering the cash generation, but is also not a preferred cash generation option either so improvements are being made to higher tiers of this path. While Maim MOAB is reasonably powerful, Deadly Precision is niche in application so price is shifting up here. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
3-X-X Deadly Precision	Upgrade cost reduced ― $3,000 → $2,500
4-X-X Maim MOAB	Upgrade cost increased ― $5,650 → $6,000
X-4-X Supply Drop X-5-X Elite Sniper	Bullet: Pierce increased ― 4 → 5

Monkey Sub

Tiers	Changes
X-3-X Ballistic Missile and further upgrades	Missile attack: now lands in the place of its intended target instead of the center of the map or over itself when the target is destroyed while the missile is in mid-air (bug fix)

Monkey Buccaneer

“

Small nerf to Pirate Lord, as we do want it to be a strong T5 but it’s overperforming currently. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-5-X Pirate Lord	Cannon explosion: bonus MOAB-class damage decreased ― +10 → +8  Fragment: bonus MOAB-class damage decreased ― +4 → +3

Monkey Ace

“

Tsar Bomba’s last bomb change appeared to be an over-buff and is being reeled back on. Neva-Miss darts max speed and homing acceleration is being increased so the projectiles are less likely to expire before meeting their target unless placement is terrible. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-5-X Tsar Bomba	Bombing run: Damage per bomb reduced ― 30 → 25
X-X-3 Neva-Miss Targeting and further upgrades	Homing dart: Max projectile speed increased ― 180 → 350  Homing dart: Projectile acceleration increased ― 20 → 50  Homing dart: Projectile lifespan increased ― 1s → 3.3333s (undocumented) Note: Only affects the projectile while not homing; the lifespan while homing switches to Adora homing stats, which remain unchanged at 1s

Heli Pilot

“

Some price is moving out from base Heli into the T3s to make progression up through low heli tiers easier, however Downdraft is retaining the current price as a small buff. Support Chinook is receiving improvement to utility to increase value for people generally wanting this upgrade for other reasons. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
0-0-0 base tower	Cost reduced ― $1,600 → $1,500
3-X-X Razor Rotors	Upgrade cost increased ― $1,750 → $1,850
X-4-X Support Chinook	Flight speed increased ― 70 → 80
X-5-X Special Poperations	Flight speed increased ― 87.5 → 100
X-X-3 MOAB Shove	Upgrade cost increased ― $3,000 → $3,100

Dartling Gunner

“

Hydra Rockets fall off greatly in single target power so it’s receiving more damage, & Ray of Doom’s damage is also being increased to give more value for the save up. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
5-X-X Ray of Doom	Laserbeam: Damage increased ― 25 → 30  Laserbeam: First target bonus damage decreased ― +55 → +50 (undocumented)
X-3-X Hydra Rocket Pods X-4-X Rocket Storm	Explosion: Damage increased ― 1 → 2 Note: Does not affect M.A.D

Wizard Monkey

“

Base Wizard mostly struggles to compare to base Dart Monkey anyway, so we’re cutting it down to one of the cheapest starter placement towers and adding that small cost back across the top path. Arcane Spike is now seeing some of the crosspathing benefits that Archmage recently received, although Archmage’s Wall of Fire is being reduced in power. Magus’ strict ability timings currently struggle to line up well with Boss Skulls & immunity periods which makes it an undesirable paragon for Boss events, so the Metamorphosis cooldown is being reduced. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
0-0-0 base tower	Cost reduced ― $325 → $250
1-X-X Guided Magic	Upgrade cost increased ― $150 → $175
3-X-X Arcane Mastery	Upgrade cost increased ― $1,400 → $1,450
4-1-0 Arcane Spike + Fireball 4-2-0 Arcane Spike + Wall of Fire	Fireball: Gains bonus MOAB-class damage ― +0 → +6 Note: Does not affect 5-1-0 Fireball
4-2-0 Arcane Spike + Wall of Fire	Wall of Fire: Gains bonus MOAB-class damage ― +0 → +2
5-2-0 Archmage + Wall of Fire	Wall of Fire: Bonus MOAB-class damage reduced ― +8 → +6
Paragon	Arcane Metamorphosis: Ability cooldown reduced ― 120s → 90s Note: Degree 100 cooldown reduced from 70.5882s to 52.9412s

Super Monkey

“

Tech Terror is a menace, and some of the random range on bottom path is being shifted down into more affordable tiers. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
5-X-X True Sun God	Mini Sun Avatars from the True Sun God no longer can attack through walls (bug fix)
X-4-X Tech Terror	Plasma: Pierce reduced ― 8 → 7
X-5-X The Anti-Bloon	Plasma: Pierce reduced ― 13 → 12
X-X-4 Dark Champion	Range increased ― 53 → 57 Note: Does not affect xx5, which remains the same

Alchemist

“

People thought the last Rubber to Gold changes sounded cool, but were not particularly reliable so we’re improving the reliability of this attack with much faster attack rate and radius and also adding back some of the potion duration that was previously taken away. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-X-4 Rubber to Gold X-X-5 Bloon Master Alchemist	Rubber to Gold potion: Attack cooldown reduced ― 5s → 2s  Rubber to Gold potion: Radius increased ― 14 → 21  Rubber to Gold potion: Duration increased ― 7s → 14s
1-0-4 Rubber to Gold + Larger Potions and further upgrades	Rubber to Gold potion: Larger Potions grants +50% splash radius ― 14 → 31.5

Druid

“

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. Spirit of the Forest’s baseline cash generation has been improved to give a later game goal to aim for with Druid farming strategies. Druid projectile lifespans are being shifted from many base weapons into the xx1 range crosspath, this is a nerf to top path lifespan when not taking the crosspath and a buff to 031 druids — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
0-0-0 base tower 1-X-0 Hard Thorns and further upgrades	Thorn: Projectile distance reduced ― 136 → 102 Note: Does not affect X-X-1, implemented as a projectile lifespan decrease ― 0.4s → 0.3s
3-X-0 Druid of the Storm and further upgrades	Tornado: Projectile distance reduced ― 100 → 75 Note: xx1 unchanged

5-X-0 Superstorm	Superstorm: Projectile distance reduced ― 200 → 150 Note: xx1 crosspath unchanged
X-3-X Druid of the Jungle and further upgrades	Grab vine: Calculation reworked to work faster against non-heavy (Ceramic, Lead) targets. Note: Does not affect pre-existing 1.4s flat cooldown. Nerf versus Super Ceramics. Base formula: $\frac{\sqrt{\text{leakDamage}}+1}{4}$ → $\frac{\sqrt{\text{leakDamage}}+1}{8}$ "Heavy" extra duration (seconds): Lead: 0.5 → 0.625 Ceramic: 0 → 1.25 Overall duration to digest bloons (seconds): Red: 0.5 → 0.25 Blue: 0.60355339 → 0.30277669 Green: 0.68301270 → 0.34150635 Yellow: 0.75 → 0.375 Pink: 0.80901699 → 0.40450850 White/Black/Purple: 1.07915620 → 0.53957810 Zebra: 1.44895788 → 0.72447894 Lead: 1.94895788 → 1.34947894 Fortified Lead: 2.02475488 → 1.38737744 Rainbow: 1.96391365 → 0.981956825 Ceramic: 2.79950976 → 2.64975488 Fortified Ceramic: 2.91926956 → 2.70963478 Super Ceramic: 2.26556444 → 2.38278222 Fortified Super Ceramic: 2.41506351 → 2.45753175

X-5-X Spirit of the Forest	Jungle's Bounty ability: Base cash generation increased ― $320 → $1280 Note: Scaling per Farm remains the same. Should now correctly deal damage to children of targets broken by track vine damage zone (bug fix)

Mermonkey

“

Abyss Dweller is far too inconsistent before it gains the T4 ink attack, so a lot of price is being shifted up out of this update. — Update notes

”

X-X-4 Deadly Spikes	Damage increased ― 2 → 3 Note: Perma-Spike unchanged

“

The cooldown buff for top village is being improved as many Primary abilities you would use with it are already quite fast to cool down so the % increase feels minimal. — Update notes

Beast Handler

“

As Great White still has problematic consistency the thrash radius is increasing. T-Rex is generally powerful in a lot of ways, and as the ability cooldown is quite short, we are increasing the cooldown. — Update notes

”

Striker Jones

“

16+	All towers in range of Etienne gain +20% range

Levels	Changes
All	Should now benefit from specific Bloon debuffs that allow Purple/Lead popping (bug fix)

Corvus

“

Corvus’ early game is too powerful for the full map coverage that it provides, so his placement cost is increasing and Spirit Pierce is being reduced as he has many spell options for covering pierce in the later game to make up for this. Frostbound & Repel can chain together for a powerful stall so Frostbound’s duration is being reduced. — Update notes

1	Spirit: Pierce reduced ― 5 → 4
2+	Spirit: Pierce reduced ― 8 → 6

Rogue Legends

General changes

“

Our first DLC, Rogue Legends, received an amazing response from you all, and following the fantastic feedback we received we have decided to slow down our initial Legends plans and make each one as epic as Rogue was - or more so. The 2 important takeaways from this are that v48.0 is including a significant update for Rogue Legends, and we have changed our plans to only do one more Legend this year rather than try to squeeze two in. — Update notes
