General Changes
🎴 The Daily Jackpop has been moved to the store and combined with the daily freebie. The rewards from the non-jackpop cards have been increased to reflect the merge.
⏸ The pause screen in Hero Challenge now has a resume button instead of a restart button for clarity. Restart has been moved to the central column.
Balance Changes
Dart Monkey - 🏹 xx3 Crossbow pierce: 6 -> 8 - 🏀 xx4 Sharp Shooter: Bolts now ricochet once after the first hit. - 💥 xx5 Crossbow Master: Crit damage 50 -> 100 - 💭 The crossbow is the least used of the Dart Monkey’s upgrade paths. The Juggernaut and Super Monkey Fan Club both have their niche with high pierce group popping and concentrated single target damage respectively. We are buffing the Crossbow Monkey to give it a place somewhere between the two with solid pierce and damage and some slight seeking to ensure it makes the most out of its pierce.
Monkey Sub - 💥 xx4 Armor Piercing Darts: 2 damage -> 3 damage - 💭 The bottom path sub is often neglected for the top path Reactor and the middle path First Strike upgrades. While this damage buff may look minor, it stacks quickly due to the high attack speed of the bottom path sub and the xx5 Sub Commander’s ability to double the damage of other subs. We hope this will make the bottom path sub a more appealing choice for DPS on maps where space isn’t an issue while preserving the middle path’s identity as elite MOAB stopping power.
Monkey Buccaneer - 💰 3xx Destroyer: $2700 -> $2200 - ⏳ 140 Faster Shooting: Ability Cooldown 30s -> 20s. - 💥 xx2 Crows Nest: All attacks deal +2 damage to camo bloons, including attacks from the 4xx and 5xx planes. - 🚢 xx5 Trade Empire: Merchantmen ships generate +5% -> +10% income per round. Capped at 20 -> 10 Merchantmen. - 💭 The top path buccaneer does not currently see a lot of use, either as a crosspath
