addedBalance ChangesBloon Sends - Round 19: Grouped MOABs send cost $1k -> $900 - Round 22: Grouped BFBs send cost $1.6k -> $1.3k - Round 23: Grouped Leads are now replaced with Tight Leads (80 tightly packed Leads for $1.2k and +$20 income) - Round 24: Grouped ZOMGs send cost $5.5k -> $5k - Round 25: Grouped MOABs are now replaced with Tight MOABs (20 tightly packed MOABs for $3.5k and -$50 income) - Round 26: Grouped ZOMG send cost now drops to $4.5k - Round 28: Grouped DDT income changed -$300 -> -$200 - Round 27: Grouped BFB is now replaced with Tight BFBs (10 tightly packed BFBs for $7k and -$150 income) - We’ve made quite a few additions and adjustments to the bloon send options to address a couple of things. Firstly, there were limited rushes between round 23 and 29, with players often just waiting until they can send a BAD in this stage, or DDTs if their opponent can’t handle them. Secondly, old bloon sends became very irrelevant as new ones unlock, because the new ones were so much more efficient. Now with new sends available such as tight MOABs, this offers new rushing options for the mid 20s while getting rid of the old and inefficient single MOAB send.
changedBalance ChangesBoomerang Monkey - xx3 Kylie Boomerang: $1300 -> $1100 - xx4 MOAB Press: $3200 -> $3400 - x4x Turbo Charge: $4350 -> $4500 - x5x Perma Charge: $35k -> $33k - We would like to give some more love to Kylie Boomerang since this upgrade has always been the less favorable of the tier 3 Boomerangs. MOAB Press has had its price adjusted since it didn’t need any indirect buffs. Also, Turbo Charge has always stood out as an excellent defending option so that has received a small price nerf.
changedBalance ChangesTack Shooter - x3x Blade Shooter: reduces attack rate by 15% -> 12% - 5xx Inferno Ring: +7 -> +11 damage to moab class (total MOAB damage 18 -> 22) - The smallest of nerfs for Blade Shooter - an upgrade that has persistently remained an exceptionally efficient early game tower. We’ve also given Inferno Ring another much needed damage buff so that it can better deal with the ramped up MOAB class bloons in the late game.

- Ice Monkey - Base$500 -> $450 - x5x Absolute Zero: $20k -> $18k - x4x Snowstorm: buffs Ice monkeys and Fusty the Snowman with 2x attack speed for 10 -> 6s - While Ice Monkey is not in a bad spot, we do want to encourage its usage a bit more and so we’re providing it with a couple small buffs. Snowstorm’s ability buffing Ice Monkeys was actually unintended, however we didn’t feel like it needed to be fixed and so we decided to keep, with a reduced duration to match the ability’s freeze duration.
