changedUpdate 3.2.4 is rolling out now! Here's what's changed:

changedBalance ChangesBomb Shooter - xx3 Cluster Bombs: 2xx increases the clusters’ pierce by 10 -> 6 (total pierce 24 -> 20) - Cluster Bombs has always stood out as a top tier early-mid game tower, leaving very little room for effective rushes against it on certain maps. We have decided to limit the pierce increase that 2xx gives to the clusters since it’s an extremely efficient upgrade, providing a big pierce bonus on top of extra damage.

changedBalance ChangesSniper Monkey - 4xx Maim MOAB: ZOMG stun length 0.3s -> 0.45s - Sniper has remained one of the least used towers in the highest arenas for a long time now. We felt like its ZOMG stun could be more efficient since it pales in comparison to other upgrades such as Heli Pilot’s MOAB Shove.

addedBalance ChangesMonkey Sub - 3xx Submerge and Support: Sonar pierce ∞ -> 100. x1x adds 20 pierce and x2 adds a further 30 pierce. - 4xx Reactor: Sonar pierce ∞ -> 200. x1x adds 40 pierce and x2x adds a further 60 pierce. - 5xx Energizer: Sonar pierce ∞ -> 1000. x1x adds 200 pierce and x2x adds a further 300 pierce. - Monkey Sub has consistently been dominant in meta, with its incredibly cheap Submerge and Support upgrade being one of its strong points, efficiently nullifying all camo rushes. We also like the idea of camo rushes being more prevalent against decamo towers, therefore we have drastically reduced the pierce of Monkey Sub’s decamo sonar attack, potentially opening up room for camo rushes against it.

addedBalance ChangesMonkey Ace - 5xx Sky Shredder: darts now have +2 damage to Ceramics - Sky Shredder is the least used tier 5 ace. For now we have bumped up its ceramic damage so that it can provide better bloon cleanup.

changedBalance ChangesHeli Pilot - xx3 MOAB Shove: slows ZOMGs by 66% -> 50% (78% -> 66% with x1x) - 3xx Razor Rotors: $1900 -> $1800 - 4xx Apache Dartship: Missile damage 2 -> 3, Rotor blades damage 4 -> 6 - 5xx Apache Prime: Missile damage 2 -> 3, Rotor blades damage 8 -> 10 - MOAB Shove has always felt too effective at stalling MOAB class bloons, however since Heli Pilot overall has not been top tier, this upgrade has been left untouched until now. We have decided to nerf it now since we are simultaneously buffing some of its other less effective upgrades.

Update 3.2.4 is rolling out now! Here's what's changed:

Balance Changes

Bomb Shooter - xx3 Cluster Bombs: 2xx increases the clusters’ pierce by 10 -> 6 (total pierce 24 -> 20) - Cluster Bombs has always stood out as a top tier early-mid game tower, leaving very little room for effective rushes against it on certain maps. We have decided to limit the pierce increase that 2xx gives to the clusters since it’s an extremely efficient upgrade, providing a big pierce bonus on top of extra damage.
Sniper Monkey - 4xx Maim MOAB: ZOMG stun length 0.3s -> 0.45s - Sniper has remained one of the least used towers in the highest arenas for a long time now. We felt like its ZOMG stun could be more efficient since it pales in comparison to other upgrades such as Heli Pilot’s MOAB Shove.
Monkey Sub - 3xx Submerge and SupportSonar pierce ∞ -> 100. x1x adds 20 pierce and x2 adds a further 30 pierce. - 4xx Reactor: Sonar pierce ∞ -> 200. x1x adds 40 pierce and x2x adds a further 60 pierce. - 5xx Energizer: Sonar pierce ∞ -> 1000. x1x adds 200 pierce and x2x adds a further 300 pierce. - Monkey Sub has consistently been dominant in meta, with its incredibly cheap Submerge and Support upgrade being one of its strong points, efficiently nullifying all camo rushes.

Monkey Ace - 5xx Sky Shredder: darts now have +2 damage to Ceramics - Sky Shredder is the least used tier 5 ace. For now we have bumped up its ceramic damage so that it can provide better bloon cleanup.
Heli Pilot - xx3 MOAB Shove: slows ZOMGs by 66% -> 50% (78% -> 66% with x1x) - 3xx Razor Rotors: $1900 -> $1800 - 4xx Apache Dartship: Missile damage 2 -> 3, Rotor blades damage 4 -> 6 - 5xx Apache Prime: Missile damage 2 -> 3, Rotor blades damage 8 -> 10 - MOAB Shove has always felt too effective at stalling MOAB class bloons, however since Heli Pilot overall has not been top tier, this upgrade has been left untouched until now. We have decided to nerf it now since we are simultaneously buffing some of its other less effective upgrades.
Mortar Monkey - x5x Pop & Awe: stun can be reapplied on already stunned bloons - We noticed that the Pop & Awe ability actually performed worse when given attack speed buffs, due to overlapping stuns not re-stunning bloons. This change means that the ability will now be more effective at stalling bloons when buffed by towers such as Striker Jones.
Dartling Gunner - x4x Rocket Stormability rocket spread reduced 120 -> 75 degrees. 1xx reduces spread by 60 -> 30% (to 48 -> 52.5 degrees) - Dartling Gunner’s Rocket Storm ability previously got a massive efficiency boost from 1xx, which meant that it was undoubtedly the best crosspath for it and it made Rocket Storm a very strong ability. We have noticeably reduced the default ability spread and very slightly increased the 1xx ability spread so that this one crosspath is not so necessary.
