addedNew FeaturesNew Hero: Beetienne - 🐝 A busy little bee who uses a swarm of honeybees to sting the bloons. - 🍯 Starting at level 2, Beetienne gains the “Making Honey” targeting option. While Making Honey, Beetienne stops attacking and generates lives every 3 seconds. - 💓 These extra lives can take you above the starting value of 150. Given enough time, Beetienne can generate thousands of extra lives, allowing you to leak even MOAB class bloons without losing. - 💢 Beetienne’s level 3 ability, Defend the Hive, summons extra swarms and makes all of them more aggressive. He stops making honey and attacks while it’s active so it’s great for emergency defence. - 🐝 His level 10 ability, Auxiliary Hives, allows you to spend some of those extra lives to place additional, permanent hive towers, each with their own bee swarm.

An opponent with 100 lives will show as losing to 1 Ceramic Bloon (104 lives) or 3 Rainbow Bloons (141 lives). - ⚠ This warning only takes into account the amount of lives a bloon will cost if it leaks. It doesn’t account for the player’s ability to pop those bloons before they leak.

Balance Changes

  • Bloon Sends - 📉 Tight Leads: Income 22 → 7 - 💰 Tight Ceramics: $3400 → $2800 - 💭 The very fast send speed of Tight Leads made them a powerful source of income which wasn’t their intended use. We are significantly reducing their income gain to reinforce the fact that they are intended to be used as an offensive rush. Tight Ceramic Bloons have been left behind by other tower and bloon send buffs so we are reducing their cost to make them a more efficient send.

  • Ports - 📦 The blue crate has been removed, making this area placeable immediately. - 🏗 Cost to remove crates $500 → $300 - 💭 Ports is a difficult map with a fairly low play rate. We are removing the blue crate to allow a larger variety of starting towers and reducing
