“
Continuing our efforts to make crosspaths meaningful and fit the style of each path more solidly, a number of crosspath and base level balance shifts were made.

- Ability: permanent stacking buff now applies immediately upon ability use (instead of on expiration)
- 1-5-0, 2-5-0
- Larger Service Area crosspath now increases Sentry range by +4

Engineer is quite poor in terms of crosspathing, so we’ve added crosspath benefits to Cleansing Foam [...] We’ve been somewhat unhappy with how Overclock sits in the game for a while and especially how the interaction with tower cost causes levelling heroes naturally to be far advantageous over purchasing upgrades when this is already underused. We have made an attempt to rework these issues by moving it to a tier-based system rather than price.

- Overall cost reduced by $150 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
- 0-5-1, 0-5-2
- Foam attack: Pierce with Oversized Nails increased ― 10 → 15
“
We’ve added a pierce & speed boost to Overclock’s base upgrade and lowered the cooldown on Ultraboost to allow the possibility for it to achieve full uptime as a freeplay tower and get its stacks up faster.

- Ultraboost: ability cooldown reduced ― 45s → 35s

we have also re-envisioned the ‘Larger Service’ crosspath as giving smarter service as well in the form for targeting for Bloontrap & Cleansing Foam

- Cleansing Foam: no longer slows MOAB-class bloons (including BADs) with Pin crosspath (bug fix)
- 0-5-2
- Cleansing Foam slow stacks on a single target (bug)
- Ability: now limited to 3 uses per round
- 0-5-2
- Foam slow effect no longer stacks on a single target (bug fix)
“
The MOAB offense of top path lacks for a mainly dps tower that is quite complex to use [...] the 320 crosspath will now be able to double dip on the Fortified & MOAB damage bonuses that it gains. Cleansing Foam is only seeing a slight tweak to help it be more viable if you want to attempt it as 'main camo detection’, and this mainly fixes some issues in ABR games allowing it to catch quick initial camo spawns.

- All attacks: Now gains 1s of 4x rate on round start
- 1-5-0, 2-5-0
- Sentry: Deconstruction's bonus damage to MOAB-Class Bloons and Fortified Bloons are no longer mutually exclusive
“
Overclock's considerable longer duration benefit on lower tiers currently serves little purpose and only leads to weirdness in upgrading boosted towers, so for now we’d rather minimize this on the early cases that don’t serve much purpose .

- Ability: no longer has a 1.75× duration bonus for tier 0 towers
- Ability: no longer has a 1.5× duration bonus for tier 1 towers
- Ability: no longer has a 1.25× duration bonus for tier 2 towers
- Ability: Lasts 60s on heroes regardless of level (undocumented)
“
Engineer Ultraboost is limited to viable use in high-farming situations due to its cost, and while the buff is great when applied to strong towers, we find it too expensive for an upgrade that only adds a buff to other towers, especially in games where cost is the primary focus.

- Upgrade cost reduced ― $105,000 → $72,000
“
Some minor QoL buffs for Ultraboost as it’s very expensive over multiple T4s.

- Ultraboost cleansing foam pierce ― 10 → 30
- Ultraboost ability now has full duration on T4s ― 0.75x → 1x
- Ultraboost ability now has full duration on T5s ― 0.5x → 1x
“
The Ultraboost ability is now starting on cooldown to put a limit on buy’n’resell issues, but this is to ease up on the use per round limit which was causing frustration.

”
- Ability: now starts with its full cooldown instead of carrying over Overclock's cooldown
- Ability: max uses per round increased ― 3 → 10

Now that Ultraboost has an initial cooldown we are again allowing it to be used between rounds.

- Ultraboost ability: can now be activated during the break between rounds

This was becoming annoying screen clutter with large numbers of sentries, and feels unnecessary when you can overclock the engineer itself to create more sentries instead.

- Overclock and Ultraboost abilities no longer target Engineer sentries
“
Really only one major change here; a rebalancing to how the 2xx Crosspath applies across various engineer upgrades, and some base stats being changed to accommodate fitting this.

- Foam: Pierce decreased ― 30 → 24

- Foam: Pierce increased ― 35 → 36

Overclock’s Village range bonus always felt like an odd special case, and now that there is a proper dedicated range bonus ability the combined range this grants for villages ended up being overpowered, after consideration we didn’t want to jump straight to deleting the ultraboost stacking tech here but have lowered the range bonuses from Overclock.

- Overclock buff: Range bonus on Monkey Villages decreased ― +25% → +10%
