Churchill has propped another pillow ontop of their booster seat and is ready to do some serious damage. We felt the speed of the main cannon attack didn’t fit well for ‘a literal tank’, so main cannon damage is going up at all levels at the cost of attack speed. However even though the dps mostly averages out to something similar, this does make him more effective at utilizing his pierce and with the slower main attack the machine gun more properly performs its job of catching the faster Bloons in that downtime, so its damage is being buffed at all levels to be more helpful at this.[sic]

Easter Eggs

It’s important to us that map specific easter eggs aren’t an optimal primary dps carry, especially before they have become public knowledge as this would feel very unfair for events, since if the best way to win is built into the map that would likely become considered the ‘only’ real way to play that map. But now that these are relatively public knowledge and given the ‘entry cost’ is so high we have decided to improve upon these ones. If you didn’t know these existed, seek ye!
