Notes
The update notes did not mention the addition of Big Bloons .
The update notes state that Robo Monkey 's pierce was increased from 5 to 6, though it was actually increased from 4 to 6 when not factoring in the change to Epic Range .
The update notes claim that Captain Churchill's Armor Piercing Shells duration was reduced from 10 seconds to 8 seconds, which is misleading; it actually starts at 9 seconds at level 3 because its duration increases by 1 second from levels 2 and 3, before the ability unlocks.
The update notes include a list of joke changes for Obyn Greenfoot :
Has not had his price increased from $600 -> 982
Damage has been reduced from 2 by 0
Attack speed remains exactly the same as before
Has removed his shoes
