  •   Upgrade cost reduced ― $400 → $350
    •   Overall cost reduced by $100 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
  •   Caltrops: duration decreased ― 70s → 25s
For the bottom crosspath, although already the preferred choice, we wanted to buff it up anyway so that 5xx would be stronger overall now, since previously it was often more efficient to buy multiple 4xx Bloonjitsu Ninjas instead of a 5xx. The 5xx upgrade provides more shuriken and higher damage on them, yet Caltrops did not benefit from either of these things, so it provided negligible damage relative to the shuriken. It has received a massive damage buff so that it can now scale up with the shuriken and play a greater role in Grandmaster Ninja’s overall firepower.
— Update notes
The basic Caltrops change has been made so that they can pack more of a punch, since previously they often got disregarded as being insignificant. Additionally, they were known for contributing towards lag, especially if you had lots of them, so hopefully the slower attack rate will offer a slight improvement in this area.
— Update notes
  •   Caltrops: attack cooldown increased ― 4.4s → 9s
  •   Caltrops: damage increased ― 1 → 3
1-0-2, 2-0-2
  •   Ninja Discipline now reduces Caltrop attack cooldown to 5.6s
5-0-2
  •   Grandmaster Ninja now reduces Caltrop attack cooldown to 2.8s
  •   Grandmaster Ninja now increases Caltrop damage by 27
These changes buff 0xx Ninja upgrades while leaving 1xx Ninja upgrades unchanged. One major reason for this is so that 023 Ninja can be slightly more dependable.
— Update notes
  •   Caltrop attack: cooldown reduced ― 9s → 8s
  •   Shuriken attack: cooldown reduced ― 0.7s → 0.62s
1-0-2, 2-0-2, 3-0-2, 4-0-2, 5-0-2
  •   Caltrop attack: cooldown slightly increased due to changes to Ninja Discipline ― 5.58s → 5.6s
