Advanced Bloon Lab Features - 👩🔬A new Advanced tab has been added to the Scientist Gwen’s Bloon lab for more niche and complex controls. - 🚦 The Round Stall Amount slider simulates how far the opponent’s natural bloons travel along the track before being popped so you can test strategies in stalling and anti-stalling scenarios. - 🤵The Opponent Hero panel allows you to simulate an opponent using Agent Jericho, Highwayman Jericho, and Star Captain Jericho. The opponent hero’s passive abilities (such as bloon adjustment) will be applied to your rounds and you can activate their abilities against yourself (where relevant). - 📽 The Rush Recording panel allows you to record your bloon sends and play them back against yourself, allowing repeated testing against the same rush or more complex rush layering. - 🚫In addition to the Advanced Tab controls, there is now an option in the Control tab to disable all monkeys when you fall below zero lives in order to see the exact state of your defence at the moment it failed.
- EmoteNew Text Emote Slots💬 We are increasing the number of Text Emote slots from 4 to 8. - 🆕 All players will also receive 4 new text emotes for free: “Yes”!, “Awesome!”, “Oh No!”, and “Ahh!”
General Changes
Bloon Lab Speed Control - ⏩ The speed control in Scientist Gwen’s Bloon Lab has been moved off the central column and onto the main panel alongside the controls for removing monkeys, resetting cooldowns, etc. - 🚀 This is to prevent it conflicting with the UI from Star Captain Jericho’s Smuggler’s Run ability.
Tech Bot and New Abilities - 🤖 Abilities unlocked on a tower after it has been linked to a Tech Bot will not auto activate by default. - 🤵 This is to stop situations like Agent Jericho firing his MOAB Decoy the moment he hits level 10 because he was linked to a Tech Bot for Seize Assets.
Balance Changes
Boomerang Monkey - 👀 x4x Boomerang Monkey now gains camo detection during its Turbocharge ability. - 💭 While Boomerang Monkey is intended to primarily be an early game tower, it has felt a bit underpowered in the late game, particularly the x4x and x5x. We are adding this change from Battles 1 to give it a little boost.
Monkey Sub - 💥 xx4 Armor Piercing Darts damage (after split) 3 -> 2 - 💥 xx4 Armor Piercing Darts MOAB damage (after split) 0 -> 1 - 💰 xx4 Armor Piercing Darts: $2800 -> $3200. - 💭 The xx4 Sub is very strong at all points in the game. We are moving some of its damage to be MOAB exclusive and increasing its cost slightly to hinder its ability to defend by itself.
- CosmeticDartling Gunner💥 x5x M.A.D. Rocket MOAB damage: 500 -> 450. - 💥 x5x M.A.D. Rocket Storm MOAB Damage: 12 -> 60. - 💭 This change from BTD6 should help the M.A.D. ability feel more impactful.
Banana Farm - 🍌 240 IMF Loan crosspath: End of round bonus $550 -> $700 - 🍌 250 Monkey-Nomics: End of round bonus $550 -> $1000. - 💭 We are buffing the monkey bank top crosspath to make it a more tempting option when compared to the bottom crosspath and Quality Soil.
- CosmeticBeetienne🐝 Level 3: Defend The Hive damage boost
