Changes

Bolstered Bloon

“

Bringing the starting shield down considerably for the Bolstered Bloon and also tweaking the health gain down slightly. It should still ramp well though. — Update notes

”

•  Starting Shield reduced ― 100 → 50
•  Health gain per bloon reduced ― +30 → +25

Discount Bloon

“

Continuing to look at underutilized cards with promise, we’re buffing Discount Bloon’s health a little. — Update notes

”

•  Health increased ― 100 → 120

Nested Bloons

“

These came out a little hot last week and clearly needed a nerf. They should all still be strong cards but not quite so oppressive this way. — Update notes

”

Nested Blue

•  Health reduced ― 60 → 50

Nested Green

•  Health reduced ― 100 → 80
•  Delay increased ― 1 → 2

Nested Yellow

•  Health reduced ― 140 → 120
•  Delay increased ― 1 → 2
•  Gold cost increased ― 3 → 4
•  Bloontonium gain increased ― 3 → 4

Weakening Gas Bloon

“

Weakening Gas gets a cost buff to make it more appealing. Look out for them in the Season 2 Storm as well! — Update notes

”

•  Gold cost reduced ― 7 → 6
•  Bloontonium gain reduced ― 7 → 6

Thunder Druid

“

Thunder Druid is working a little too well as AoE for the cost, so we’re bringing its damage down slightly. — Update notes

”

•  On Play: Damage reduced ― 100 → 80

Nature's Clarity

“

Pick 4 was a little anomalous so bringing this in line with other heroes’ Pick cards. The shield was also too powerful, so we’ve weakened that slightly. — Update notes

”

•  Pick amount reduced ― 4 → 3
  • Note: Also affects the card description
•  Shield per cost reduced ― +20 → +15

Super Monkey Storm

“

Similar to Thunder Druid, SMS is just a little too efficient. However, SMS is meant to be a very strong board clear so instead of lowering its damage, we’re upping its cost. — Update notes

”

•  Gold cost increased ― 8 → 10

Quick Reload

•  Quick Reload now triggers On Reload effects (undocumented) (bug fix)

Adora

• No longer uses Orbs of Light quote if attacking during Ultimate Sacrifice (undocumented)
• Will now occasionally use her Sun Shield quotes when triggering Sun Shield (undocumented)

Quincy

• No longer plays his Perceptive Shot animation, shortening the animation (undocumented)

Setup Bloon

• The in-game Bloon model now has a hat (undocumented)

Wolf

• Class icon changed ― Primary → Support (undocumented)
  • Note: is still treated as classless
