Additions

Changes

For the most part, we are pleased with the impact of the new tight rushes - noticeably shaking up the meta and leading to more exciting games. However, admittedly they are on the strong side, which has greatly diminished the viability of some towers that can’t deal with them. Tight MOABs is the main rush that stands out, so we have made quite a big nerf to this one. Additionally, Spaced Rainbows have been nerfed because they have always stood out as a top tier early game bloon send, providing high eco efficiency as well as decent pressure on your opponent

  • Neutral Tight MOAB: spacing increased ― 0.0125s → 0.02s

  • Neutral Tight MOAB: cost increased ― $3500 → $4000

Gwendolin is considered one of the strongest heroes with good early game damage and solid late game support. We’re just making a minor Cocktail cooldown change for now, allowing for more opportunities to effectively rush her early on.

  • Nerf Cooldown increased ― 40s → 45s
We wanted to give Druids some attention and chose to do this by providing Obyn with another Druid-specific buff. This buff primarily targets Poplust Druids since Avatar of Rush already deals high damage. Obyn’s range increase is also aimed at Druids, with the larger range allowing for more Druids to be buffed.

  • Buff Now gives all Druids in range +1 damage to fortified Bloons.

  • Buff Range increased ― 43 → 65
Like with Obyn, this Ocean Obyn change is being implemented to make his buff capable of buffing a much greater number of towers now. In particular, this change is aimed at Ninja[sic]

We’re buffing Benjamin’s early game cash slightly because he is still overshadowed by the Jerichos. Additionally, previously his level 20 did not provide much compared to other heroes, so that now has another benefit.

  • Buff End of round income increased ― $200 → $250

  • Buff Syphon Funding Cooldown decreased ― 60s → 45s
Similar changes as Benjamin for the same reasons, with an added buff to DJ Ben’s level 10 ability so that he can deal with the new tight rushes a little bit more effectively.

  • Buff Beatdown ZOMG downgrade amount increased ― 2 → 4
While Smudge Catt is not an incredibly popular hero, this is a strong ability with a quick cooldown. Most hero ability cooldowns have been increased to give more rushing opportunities, but Smudge Catt never received this same treatment.

  • Nerf Scratching Post cooldown increased ― 30s → 40s
Pat Fusty has has been out of the limelight for a while now so we wanted to provide him with some buffs. For now we’ve increased his buffing range, since it was quite limiting before.

  • Buff Rallying Roar buff range increased ― 30 → 35

  • Buff Rallying Roar buff range increased ― 40 → 50
Highwayman Jericho’s usage rate has dropped off significantly ever since his last nerf, however we believe that this is simply due to the other Jerichos being the clear favorites now, rather than Highwayman being too weak relative to all the other heroes. Therefore, we have left Highwayman as is and targeted the other two Jerichos instead.

  • Nerf Seize Assets initial cooldown increased ― 17.5s → 28s

Fateweaver Adora has retained her spot as the top hero in the highest arenas, with the new tight rushes not hindering her viability since Chains of Fate counters them exceptionally well. Given this, it seemed appropriate to limit the pierce on Chains of Fate, since infinite pierce was unnecessarily excessive for such a powerful ability.
— Update notes
Levels Changes
10+
  • Nerf Chains of Fate is now pierce capped at 500 Bloons
  • Nerf Chains of Fate uses 10 pierce to chain a MOAB, 20 pierce to chain a BFB, 40 pierce to chain a ZOMG/DDT, and 60 pierce to chain a BAD.
