New Hero, Silas the Ice Shaper
Ever wonder what happens when you teach an Ice Monkey magic? Well, if you needed an excuse to use a lot more Ice Monkeys, Silas’ all-in-one frost enhancing package is just for you! Silas is a supportive crowd control hero with a heavy focus on supporting, and being supported by, other Ice Monkeys & slowing the progress of Bloons
At his base level, he both freezes nearby water & slows all Bloons in his large radius. His basic attack will slow Bloons by 50%, then freeze these slowed Bloons, and trigger an icy explosion when hitting any already Frozen targets
As Silas levels up he buffs Ice Monkeys to create orbiting Ice Fragments when they attack, creates Ice Walls on the track that freeze any Bloons to come into contact with them, reduces the cold resistance of White Bloons, gains increased experience with more Ice Monkeys placed, allows for an extra Tier 5 Ice Monkey to be placed and more!
Silas has 3 abilities
- Lv3 FrostbiteFor a short time upon activation attacks will detonate any freezes on the target, dealing increased damage the more freeze time was remaining
Lv7 Frozen Cascade: Creates a chain reaction of small icy explosions centered around the hero and up to 10 of the closest Ice Monkeys, freezing and dealing extra damage to any already Frozen targets
Lv10 Frozen Burial: Freezes all Bloons and deals extra damage to any already Frozen targets. Then fills the tracks with slowing Ice Walls
That’s all we have to share for now, we wish you many fun icecapades and a brrr-illiant time strategizing with the new ICESHAPER
New Powers & Powers Pro
Powers Pro System:
At long last they are here! One of our favorite elements from Bloons TD 5 finally had enough design and discussion to evolve to the right extent to merit inclusion in BTD6.
Pro Powers are a little more expensive than their basic counterparts, however, after being placed they can be further upgraded by picking one of three mini-paths for in-game cash. Pro Powers are completely separate entities from the standard versions and do not replace them - you can still collect and use your regular Powers.
As the new paths are a significant amount of work, we are not adding all Pro versions at the same time and are instead starting with two of the most used Powers.
Super Monkey Beacon: This Beacon comes with a full-game duration Super Monkey Storm ability, and can be used as many times as you desire for free on cooldown.
Top path stores multiple ability charges, secondary and tertiary triggers, and ability charges can be immediately restored for Monkey Money
On Middle path the ability deals less damage but has a much faster cooldown, gains a permanent Super Monkey turret, and grants a free Super Monkey after several rounds
Bottom path deals much more damage, stuns surviving MOABs, soaks through MOAB layers, and damage increases after every ability activation, so the more you use it in a game, the stronger it gets
Banana Farmer Pro: Baseline Farmer Pro has increased radius & collection speed
Top path gains full map range and much faster collection speed, while leaving banana peels on the track that trip up passing Bloons
Middle path can collect increased cash by spotting Camo Bananas, and targeting Farms to produce Regrow Bananas
Bottom path has stacking benefits from multiple Farmers, which increase the sell value of Banana Farms in radius, increase Bank income & automatically collect
