changedBalance ChangesBloon Sends - 🎈 Bloon boost speed modifier: +25% → +40% - 💭 A lot of heroes and towers have more powerful synergies now than they used to. In order to keep games aggressive and the bloons dangerous, we are increasing the potency of bloon boosts.

Balance Changes

  • Bloon Sends - 🎈 Bloon boost speed modifier: +25% → +40% - 💭 A lot of heroes and towers have more powerful synergies now than they used to. In order to keep games aggressive and the bloons dangerous, we are increasing the potency of bloon boosts.

  • Dart Monkey - 💰 2xx Razor Sharp Shots: $150 → $250 - 💰 4xx Juggernaut: $1,800 → $1,700 - 💰 x3x Triple Shot: $300 → $400 - 💭 We are increasing the cost of the Triple Darts upgrade and moving some of the top path’s cost into the lower upgrades to make dart monkey hoards more expensive.

  • Glue Gunner - ⏩ 5xx Bloon Solver: Attack cooldown 0.25 → 0.4 - 💭 We are slightly nerfing the Bloon Solver’s attack speed to reduce the number of times it’s able to reapply its glue after Scientist Gwen has burned it off.

  • Banana Farm - 🍌 030 Monkey Bank: End of Round Income: $550 → $450 - 🍌 130 Monkey Bank end of round income: $450 → $500 - 🍌 230 Monkey Bank end of round income: $500 → $550 - ⏳ x5x Monkey Nomics: Ability initial cooldown 25s → 30s - 💭 The Monkey Bank benefited a little too much from the introduction of Quality Soil. These changes are intended to keep the strength of the Monkey Bank when combined with the top path while nerfing the bottom crosspath.

  • Scientist Gwendolin - 💥 Level 3: Chemical Cocktail damage 2→3 - ⏱ Level 3: Chemical Cocktail damage rate: 0.24s → 0.36s - 💭 By increasing the damage and reducing the attack rate of Scientist Gwedolin’s cocktail, we can reduce the amount of damage it does when combined with Glue Gunner without nerfing the attack as a whole.

  • Benjamin - 🍌 Level 1Benjamin gets buffed by the 5xx Banana Central as if he was a Banana Research Facility - 💻 Level 3: Biohack affects +2 monkeys (6 total) and they do an extra +1 damage (2 total). (applies to all future levels). - 🏪 Level 5: Bank Hack now applies to Marketplace as well. - ⏩ Level 6: Replace Cyber Security with Boost Hack. Bloon Boost and Tower boosts have 20% lower cooldown. - ⏩ Level 14: Boost Hack gives 1 additional boost of each type. - 💭 Poor Benjamin has had some of his uniqueness stolen by Bonnie and Beetienne in recent updates leaving him without a solid niche. To help find him a new one, we are strengthening his synergy with Banana Farms and replacing his life gain upgrade with a brand new effect: Boost Hack.
