Is this Cyber Storm damage -10 carry into higher tiers?

This article or section needs cleanup to improve the way it presents information and/or comply with the style guide. You can help out by editing this article. The editor who added this notice elaborates: Patch notes is inconsistent with Cyber Quincy (Battles 2)#Cyber Storm info

Ocean Obyn

This article is in need of research. You can help out by editing this article or discussing your findings on the talk page. The editor who added this notice elaborates: Does lvl20 not 4000 -> 5300?

“

Park was too easily defended for Hall of Masters players, resulting in very long games. We’ve removed it to keep Hall of Masters matches feeling fast paced and exciting.
— Update notes

”

•  Park no longer appears in Hall of Masters

Natural Bloons

“

Even with tight ceramics, recent nerfs are still a bit too strong. Lowering the amount sent should allow them to still be dangerous but not over powered. We are also making ZOMGs cheaper to give an alternative rush to tight ceramics

Tack Shooter

X-3-X Blade Shooter (and further upgrades)	Main attack: Pierce decreased ― 4 → 3
X-4-X Blade Maelstrom	Upgrade cost increased ― $3,550 → $3,850

Sniper Monkey

“

Sniper is providing too much value for its low cost and money making ability. We are lowering its base attack speed to weaken its damage output to compensate.
— Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
0-0-0 base tower 1-X-X Full Metal Jacket (and further upgrades) X-1-X Night Vision Goggles X-2-X Shrapnel Shot X-3-X Bouncing Bullet X-4-X Supply Drop	Attack cooldown increased ― 1.35s → 1.45s (attack speed reduced by 6.9%)

Ninja Monkey

“

Ninja Monkey has fallen out of favour after the recent nerf. This buff should allow it to get back to its previous strength, albeit with a bit more investment.
— Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
0-0-0 base tower	Cost reduced ― $400 → $350
X-3-X Shinobi Tactics (and further upgrades)	Shinobi Tactics: Max stacks increased ― 10 → 15
X-X-5 Master Bomber	Shuriken: Attack cooldown increased ― 0.4s → 0.55s Note: Third shot (Flash Bomb) attack cooldown increased from 1.2s to 1.65s

Super Monkey

“

Legend of the night was not reliably tanking a fortified B.A.D’s child bloons. This should allow it to absorb the D.D.Ts and the Z.O.M.Gs that come out of a B.A.D to ensure complete protection.
— Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-X-5 Legend of the Night	Passive: Duration increased ― 4s → 8s

Banana Farm

“

The buffs the Banana Farm received last update were a bit stronger than we intended so we are scaling it back with this round of changes.
— Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
0-0-0 base tower	Cost increased ― $900 → $950
3-X-X Banana Plantation	Upgrade cost reduced ― $2,750 → $2,700  Overall cost is unchanged (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
X-3-X Monkey Bank	Upgrade cost increased ― $4,400 → $4,800  Overall cost increased by $450 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)

Gwendolin

“

Gwendolin has lost some popularity recently wo we’re hoping this buff will make her a better choice. The longer duration on her Cocktail of Fire should help to make sure it gets to use all its pierce before expiring.
— Update notes

”

Levels	Changes
3+	Cocktail of Fire: Duration increased ― 12s → 15s
14+	Cocktail of Fire: Pierce increased ― 200 → 250 Note: Does not affect pierce per tick (26)
17+	Heat It Up: Damage buff increased ― +1 → +2

Ocean Obyn

“

Buffing both magic and water monkeys was proving too strong so we are changing Ocean Obyn into a purely water tower partner.
— Update notes

”

Levels	Changes
2+	All buffs: No longer affect Magic Monkeys, only water towers Descriptions changed on respective levels

Benjamin

This article is in need of research. You can help out by editing this article or discussing your findings on the talk page. The editor who added this notice elaborates: Confirm if Benjamin Level 13 is affected by Biohack nerf (Ninja Kiwi says "carries to future levels" in their patch notes, implying 15s -> 13s duration and 35s -> 40s cooldown)

“

Benjamin has been difficult to rush on earlier rounds as his Biohack ability is usually able to defend large rushes without a monkey boost. Shortening his ability duration will mean that it no longer lasts the entire duration of a rush, creating an opening for the opponent.
— Update notes

”

Levels	Changes
3+	Biohack: Duration decreased by 2s ― 9s → 7s
3-12	Biohack: Ability cooldown increased ― 40s → 45s
13+	Biohack: Duration decreased by 2s ― 15s → 13s  Biohack: Ability cooldown increased ― 35s → 40s

Smudge Catt Ezili

“

Increasing the rate at which Smudge Catt levels up allows her to have access to her abilities before MOAB sends become available.
— Update notes

”

Levels	Changes
1+	Leveling rate: XP scale decreased ― 1.5× Quincy → 1.25× Quincy

Etienne

“

Etienne is proving to be too strong in the early game and the Divide and Conquer is being outclassed by his other buffs. We are slowing down his drone’s weapons to lower his overall damage output while improving the Divide and Conquer buff to bring it in line with the others.
— Update notes

”

Levels	Changes
1-4	Drone: Attack cooldown increased ― 0.7s → 0.9s
5	Drone: Attack cooldown increased ― 0.55s → 0.65s Note: Level 6+ unaffected
4+	Buff – Divide and Conquer: Attack cooldown reduction increased ― 10% → 20%

Notes

OTA 1

• Ninja Kiwi initially forgot to add the Banana Farm balance change information, but soon added it after a few hours since the release of the OTA 1 update notes.
• Balance change notes for Etienne list "Level 5: Drone attack cooldown 0.55s -> 0.65s" and "Level 6: Drone attack cooldown 0.65s -> 0.55s", but the latter likely implies that it is the new carryover attack cooldown bonus, not a downgraded attack cooldown prior to the update.
