Balance Changes

Dart Monkey

While we're happy with Dart Monkey being a more niche or early use tower, too many people were finding Juggernaut itself even further niche or lackluster on first impression. While retaining the overpower power potential we've added a beefy impact to each individual target hit, and we've tweaked sharpshooter slightly to provide similar power but with more of a speed focus to enable more distinct crosspath choice between speed and pierce.

4xx Juggernaut damage increased from 1 -> 2
4xx Juggernaut pierce reduced from 100 -> 50
xx4 Sharpshooter attack delay reduced from 0.85 -> 0.75
xx4 Sharpshooter damage reduced from 6 -> 5
T5's both remain the same

Boomerang Monkey

Small price adjustment to push when you get this tower a little closer to when it's useful.

5xx Glaive Lord price reduced from $40,000 to $35,000

Bomb Shooter

Small nerf to the regular-Bloon power of MOAB Mauler's domination.

x3x MOAB Mauler bonus to Ceramic reduced from 4 -> 3
x4x MOAB Assassin unchanged

Tack Shooter

With pierce and range on the base Tack Zone so high that increases weren't noticeable the middle crosspath was underserved. To balance crosspathing we have reworked the base Tack Zone around lower values then improving them greatly for the crosspaths.

xx5 The Tack Zone damage increased from 1 -> 2
xx5 The Tack Zone range reduced from 46 -> 30
xx5 The Tack Zone pierce reduced from 9 to 4
025 The Tack Zone range increased to 50
025 The Tack Zone pierce increased to 10

Ice Monkey

Ice Monkey power is currently too bottom heavy and mid-to-higher tiers are neglected, so some tweaks to mid-tier upgrades have been made.

4xx Embrittlement price reduced from $3000 -> 2200
x3x Arctic Wind price reduced from $3200 -> 2900
xx3 Cryo Cannon price reduced from $2000 -> 1750
x4x Snowstorm ability cooldown decreased from 60s -> 30

Glue Gunner

Adjustments to top-path upgrades to make each step more noticeable. Very small nerf to the slow amount on MOAB Glue as it has for a long time held a dominating spot in MOAB support, but this same amount has been returned to the previous value at Tier 4. We are still looking at future improvements here, including reworking the priority tree of glue stacks.

3xx Bloon Dissolver price reduced from $2700 -> 2600
4xx Bloon Liquifier pierce increased from 1 -> 2
xx3 MOAB Glue slow amount on MOABs reduced from 0.625x -> 0.75x
xx4 Relentless Glue slow amount on MOABs remains 0.625x

Sniper Monkey

Small improvements for underloved sniper upgrades with respective path specialties intact. As bottom path sniper has proven superiority for group damage dealing in many situations and middle T4 on the group-damage path has only offered a farming option, the pierce of shrapnel has been doubled at this T4 to add offensive value as well..

5xx Cripple MOAB damage increased from 60 -> 80
x4x Supply Drop's shrapnel pierce increased from 3 -> 6

Monkey Sub

As Bloontonium Reactor rarely uses up enough pierce that the pierce crosspath would ever matter, a large chunk of this has been moved into the middle crosspath.

400 Bloontonium Reactor pierce reduced from 70 -> 50
410 Bloontonium Reactor pierce reduced from 84 -> 70
420 Bloontonium Reactor pierce increased from 50 -> 100

Monkey Ace

Monkey Ace was never intended to be a great starting tower and instead come into power at mid- and high-tier upgrades, but since the base tower feels lacking to new players (and some of us old timers) we decided to rework low tier power into the base tower. In addition to this we are experimenting with adding a small amount of homing to the spectre upgrade as rapid fire missing is not the intended design.

Monkey Ace projectile size increased from 2 -> 3
Monkey Ace attack delay reduced from 2.1s -> 1.68
1xx Rapid Fire attack rate buff reduced from 40% -> 25%
x1x Exploding Pineapple attack delay reduced from 3s -> 2
104 Spectre which always gained 25% from Rapid Fire is unchanged
xx4 Spectre now has a very slight seeking effect on the dart projectiles
xx5 Flying Fortress price reduced from $105k -> 100k

Heli Pilot

Further small buff to Comanche as prior balancing has not felt sufficient.

xx4 Heli reinforcements duration increased from 12s -> 15

Wizard Monkey

Despite ranking low overall, Wizard Lord Phoenix has dodged balance changes because of its extremely popular place as a challenge tower. With the rise of other towers in challenges, we've decided to start off buffing it based on its own merits in general gameplay. We've also added some previously intended minor changes to Prince of Darkness which were held back due to bugs that have now been resolved.

x5x Wizard Lord Phoenix price reduced from $60,000 -> 54,000
x3x Dragon's Breath, x1x Fireball radius increased from 10 -> 14
x3x Dragon's Breath, x1x Fireball damage increased from 1 -> 3
x5x Wizard Lord, x1x Fireball damage increased from 1 -> 9
x5x Wizard Lord Dragon's Breath damage increased from 1 -> 2
xx5 Prince of Darkness pops retained in graveyard increased from 2 -> 3 rounds
xx5 Prince of Darkness grave required for damage stacks increased from 200 -> 300

Alchemist

Lead to Gold hasn't been a competitive 3rd tier outside of special game modes and challenges, so we've added some more uniqueness by allowing it to truly live up to its description and deal enough damage to instantly 'convert' a Lead Bloon, children layers and all, also carrying on some value here in the later game by allowing this bonus to deal extra against DDTs as well.

xx3 Lead to Gold attacks deals +9 damage to Lead & DDT

Druid

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.

4xx Ball Lighting price reduced from $6000 -> 5500
5xx Superstorm pierce consumptions buffed: MOAB 20 -> 5
5xx Superstorm pierce consumptions buffed: BFB 50 -> 20
5xx Superstorm pierce consumptions buffed: ZOMG 200 -> 50
5xx Superstorm pierce consumptions buffed: DDT to 50 -> 10

Banana Farm

Monkey Bank is just too stonks even without Benjamin. This nerf shouldn't hurt it too much, but will make it snowball a little bit slower and balance with the other paths better.

x3x Monkey Bank price increased from $3300 -> 3500

Spike Factory

Like a few other towers before it, the attack speed crosspath for Spike Factory has outshined the others. We have reworked the lower Spike Factory tiers to distribute this power more evenly while keeping high tier factories at a similar level of power.

Spike Factory price increased from $800 -> 1000
x1x Faster Production price reduced from $700 -> 600
x2x Even Faster Production price reduced from $900 -> 800
Spike Factory attack delay reduced from 2.2s -> 1.75
x1x Spike Factory rate increase reduced from 40% -> 20
x2x Spike Factory rate increase increased from 25% -> 30
x5x Carpet of Spikes price reduced from $42,000 -> 40,000

Monkey Village

Call to Arms didn't last enough in some critical situations where it could have made the difference, so this duration has been increased slightly.

x4x Call to Arms duration increased from 10s -> 12
x5x Homeland Defense unchanged

Engineer

Sentry Expert has underperformed for a while, so we're adding solid crosspathing buffs to all Sentries. We've added a pierce & speed boost to Overclock's base upgrade and lowered the cooldown on Ultraboost to allow the possibility for it to achieve full uptime as a freeplay tower and get its stacks up faster. Finally last update we allowed Bloontrap to be set multiple times per round, and we wanted to stay on the side of caution with a long cooldown, but after seeing it in the wild we are happy to make this cooldown faster.

120 Deconstruction now gives all Sentries +1 damage to Fort & MOAB
401 now increases sentry pierce by roughly 25% instead of +1
- 401 Crushing Sentry pierce increased from 22 -> 28
- 401 Bomb Sentry pierce increased from 30 -> 38
- 401 Cold Sentry pierce increased from 15 -> 19
x4x Overclock projectile speed increased 375 -> 750
x4x Overclock base pierce increased from 3 -> 15
x5x Ultraboost base pierce increased from 3 -> 30
x5x Ultraboost ability cooldown reduced from 45 -> 35
xx4 Bloontrap attack delay reduced from 20 -> 15
204 Bloontrap attack delay buff increased from 0.8x -> 0.6x

Dartling Gunner

As our most recently added tower we are very happy with all the excitement surrounding this beloved monkey tower and the general middleground play position. We're happy enough with its time in the wild to make some first impression changes here which we hope you'll continue to enjoy.

4xx Plasma Accelerator can now apply Laser Shock with the beam as well as focal point
5xx Ray of Doom price reduced from $110,000 -> 95,000
140 Rocket storm ability spread reduction increased from 30% -> 60%
x5x M.A.D price reduced from $65k -> 60k
xx3 Buckshot price reduced from $4000 -> 3800
xx3 Buckshot now knocks back non-MOAB class Bloons a small amount on hit

Gwendolin

The last Gwendolin change didn't come through as well as intended for a number of reasons, so while keeping true to the intention behind this change it has been improved across the board to properly buff this again
