New Features
- New HeroBonnie - ⛏ A hard working bloonstone miner with a whole new playstyle. - 💎 Starting at level 2, Bonnie causes minecarts full of bloonstones to appear on the natural bloon path. - 💰 Your monkeys will target the minecarts like bloons. You won’t lose lives if they escape but if you pop them, they drop cash. - 📈 You can upgrade the minecarts from Bonnie’s upgrade panel, making them more valuable but also tougher. - 🧨 Bonnie also helps your defences by throwing sticks of dynamite onto the track which explode after a delay or when a bloon touches them. - 💥 Bonnie’s level 3 ability, Mass Detonation, throws dynamite at all the minecarts on screen, destroying them instantly in big, bloon popping explosions. - 🚛 Her level 10 calls in the Bloonstone Excavation And Supply Truck, the B.E.A.S.T. This massive truck barrels down the path like a regular minecart, stunning any bloons that get in its way. The more damage you deal to it, the more cash it’ll drop.
Arena League Changes - 🏆 Losing a game in Ceramic Crucible, MOAB Pit, and BFB Colosseum will incur a 1 trophy penalty. - 🏆 Losing a game in ZOMG Superdome or Hall of Masters will incur a 2 trophy penalty. - 0️⃣ Trophies still cannot fall below 0, so there is no penalty for losing in any arena if you are already at the bottom. - ⏲ You no longer receive 1 trophy for losing the game after round 30. - 📈 You no longer need to earn 20 trophies in a league to be eligible for promotion. You just need to finish in the promotion zone. - 📉 You will always be demoted if you end a league with 0 trophies. - 👑 Players will no longer be automatically demoted from Hall of Masters if they don’t participate in a league. - 📋 We are reviewing the feedback from the recent survey about these changes and make adjustments in the next update.
New Lobby UI - 🧾 Battles 2 now features 24 playable heroes, too many to comfortably scroll in a single list. - 📑 The hero picker in the lobby is now split over 2 rows for easier readability. - 🎨 The hero screen will be redesigned in a future update to make it easier to view the full roster of heroes.
General Changes
Jump Start Rewards - ➰ A quirk of the rules meant Jump Start games were giving a disproportionate amount of Hero Points and Tower XP. - 🌟 Hero Points and Tower XP are now based on the number of rounds played, not the starting round. - 👨🔬 The XP formula has been adjusted to account for the fact that Jump Start games often take place over fewer rounds than standard games.
