Superstorm

 Superstorm blasts all Bloon types for massive damage and blows them away from the exit.

Superstorm is the Druid's path 1 tier 5 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. The Superstorm upgrade improves the Ball Lightning tower by increasing the damage of all lightning attacks from 3 to 10 and adding the superstorm attack. The superstorm is a slow moving projectile that has the ability to damage and blowback moab class bloons. The superstorm projectile also fires out a ball lightning projectile every second. This ball lightning is fired in a randomized direction within 90° clockwise or counterclockwise of the superstorms fired direction.

Strategy
As a MOAB-stalling tower, Superstorm is typically not worth the price in most gamemodes when its own damage is low, and other Tier 5 MOAB-stalling towers, such as Bloon Crush, Icicle Impale, or Super Glue can be afforded earlier. One exception is in Boss Rush, where Superstorm has found a niche in blowing back leaking MOABs and DDTs against Phayze, and by extension, other bosses, when the boss nears the end of the track.

Superstorm has been adjusted with a new feature to grant it a method of dealing continuous damage to the targets that it blows backwards. We know many of you will feel this needs much more work but please be patient as we will come back to it.

The most recent buff to Superstorm was great fun, but when spending pierce so quickly we wouldn’t see many extra Ball Lightnings. Since many find Superstorm lacking in pierce overall, the ‘extra’ pierce consumptions for hitting larger targets have been reduced to make it more effective and more lightningey.

Tornado attack: Blowback should correctly remove ongoing glue damage effects from Bloons when the slow is removed (bug fix)

As an underused crosspath on this tower, Druid’s Hard Thorns will now allow them to counter all of its weaknesses instead of just frozen targets. Druid of the Storm has been reworked to more consistently blow targets back due to being stationary and slower firing compared to other upgrades that do a similar task.

Top path has had a number of buffs to help with both price and consistency in control over regular bloons through higher tiers. Superstorm has had a rather big price buff, however to prevent it locking up games in a boring stall state the blowback distance against ZOMGs has been halved.

Top path Heart of Thunder doesn’t scale well with tiers for an upgrade with such niche use & generally feels lacking, so it is seeing general power improvements across the board to upgrades that incorporate this attack.

While the tornado doesn't do anything to MOABs, it still spends itself on them which wastes a relatively long cooldown, so addressing this flaw.

- Tornado attack: No longer targets MOAB-class Bloons

Druid of the Storm is too inconsistent due to placement causing projectiles to intersect the path and spend very little time actually touching Bloons, it is gaining some homing to keep the nados running along the track over the top of Bloons to more consistently utilize their high pierce value. We love how this is working and hope you do, too.

Now that Tornadoes are one of the more popular Bloon Stall choices we looked more into its upgrade progression, tornado projectile speed is being reduced as a benefit to Ball Lightning to prevent tornado outpacing the lightning ball so quickly, and to more suit it as a Cold/Magic themed upgrade plus differentiate from similar supports the weaknesses are changing. More directly to Ball Lightning we feel it needs a considerably higher freeze duration for the freeze to matter as it casts slowly.

- Ball Lightning: Projectile now ignore Bloons if its damage type cannot damage them
“
The Monarch’s Superstorm re-hitting has felt like a success though it over-buffed single target performance while over-nerfing the blowback due to rapid pierce consumption, so we are scaling back the damage but reducing pierce penalties to balance this out.
