  • Dartling Gunner
    The Dartling Gunner has been a prolific tower in the Battles 2 meta for a long time. We increased its pierce in one of the earliest updates to make it a viable starter but this resulted in it being the most dominant tower in the meta and it has had several nerfs to try and bring it back to the power level we intended. This update reduces the price and base pierce back to its original values with the intention that Dartling can be used as a starter but will not be able to hold off early waves as effectively without upgrades or help. We have increased the pierce of xx2 Powerful Darts to allow it to keep its potency in the mid game.

    • 5xx Archmage: +8 damage to leads/DDTs
    • xx3 Shimmer: $1.7k -> $1.5k
  • Super Monkey
    • 3xx Sun Avatar: pierce reduced from 6 -> 7
  • Ninja Monkey
    • x4x Bloon Sabotage: slow effect no longer soaks through MOAB class bloons (still soaks through regular bloons however)
    • x4x Bloon Sabotage: if a ninja is sold while its ability is active, bloons already on screen will now continue to be slowed for the remainder of the ability duration. Newly spawned bloons will not be slowed.
    • xx5 Master Bomber: sticky bomb splash damage reduced from 300 -> 200
  • Village
    • xx5 Monkeyopolis no longer requires nearby Banana Farms to purchase.
    • xx5 Monkeyopolis base price is now $15k + $5k per farm absorbed
