Bosses
- Resolved an issue with Bloonarius spawning too many bloons when health drops too far below 0 in a single frame (bug fix)
| “ | As knowledge, power & variety of Paragons has developed they have turned out to be extremely powerful against vortex and we have reached a point with enough good paragon diversity we no longer feel like they need to resist Vortex’s stun for such a large advantage over other towers, instead of this we feel Vortex’s stun is just too long in general so is being reworked to an overall lower amount across the tiers without any paragon immunity. — Update notes |
” |
- Paragons no longer have 50% reduced stun duration
Stun duration reworked at all tiers for generally reduced durations- Normal tier 2 ― 16s → 19s
- Normal tier 3 ― 20s → 21s
- Normal tier 4 ― 25s → 24s
- Normal tier 5 ― 30s → 27s
- Elite tier 1 ― 20s → 18s
- Elite tier 2 ― 25s → 21s
- Elite tier 3 ― 30s → 24s
- Elite tier 4 ― 36s → 27s
- Elite tier 5 ― 40s → 30s
| “ | Lych has some cheese strategy in pre-buffing before spawn to get around the draining mechanics, but boss functionality now makes it easy for us to try out a quick change to counteract some of this. — Update notes |
” |
- Lych now triggers the 'buff drain' attack immediately on spawn
- Resolved an issue where some 1 shot effects could destroy the Lych Soul (bug fix)
- Dealing damage to Dreadbloons armor now counts correctly towards tower damage (bug fix)
Knowledge
- Now affects the Apex Plasma Master (bug fix)
