BTD Battles 2 Patch Notes 4.4 – December 3, 2024
New Features
New 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.
Scientist Gwen’s Bloon Lab
👩🔬 This single player sandbox mode is the perfect place to experiment with new strategies and combinations.
🎛 Change your cash, income, and loadout at will from inside the game.
🧪 Jump to any round and send any Bloon Send against yourself to test your defences.
🧰 Make use of a host of other tools and stats to analyze your strategy.
👑 Scientist Gwen’s Bloon Lab is available exclusively to Club Members.
“Loses To” popout
ℹ You can now tap on your opponent’s life total to see a popout showing which bloons will do enough damage to defeat them.
❤ You can also tap on your own life total to see which bloons you can afford to leake without losing.
🎈 The popout will show single, weakest bloon currently available to send that will defeat them in a single hit, plus how many of the next weakest bloon it will take to defeat them.]
🌈 E.g. 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 the cost of removing the other crates.
Ice Monkey
⏳ x4x Snowstorm: ability freeze and buff duration 6s → 8s
⏳ x5x Absolute Zero: ability freeze and buff duration 10s → 12s
💰 xx3 Cryo Canno: $1750 → $1300
💥 xx4 Icicles: +3 → +6 MOAB damage
💥 xx5 Icicle Impale: Icicles do 50 → 70 MOAB damage.
💭 We’re giving Ice Monkey some extra MOAB damage and buffing its higher tier abilities to make it more useful in the late game.
Dartling Gunner
💰 x3x Hydra Rocket Pods: $5600 → $5100
💰 x4x Rocket Storm: $5100 → $5500
💥 x4x Rocket Storm: Ability Damage for Rockets 4 → 5
⏳ x4x Rocket Storm: Duration 8s → 10s
💭 We are buffing the Rocket Storm ability to make it more capable of handling mid game rushes like tight leads and MOABs.
Spike Factory
💰 xx3 Long Life Spikes: $750 → $1200
💭 Spike Factory is getting a lot of use right now in several different popular strategies. Similar to how we buffed the Spiked Mines upgrade in 4.3, we are nerfing the bottom path to encourage different uses of the tower.
Engineer Monkey
🤖 4xx Sentry Expert: Immediately spawns 6 sentries when the upgrade is first purchased.
💭 The Engineer has been languishing at the bottom of the “most used towers” list for a while. This change makes the sentry expert more useful immediately since it no longer needs to wait to generate its special sentry towers, and also opens up some interesting micro opportunities.
Pat Fusty
🏫 Level 1: Pat is considered a primary monkey by the Monkey Village, allowing him to receive buffs from Primary Training, Mentoring, and Expertise. Since Pat cannot benefit from free low tier upgrades, he levels up 40% and 80% faster when in range of the 4xx and 5xx Village respectively.
📣 Level 3: Rallying Roar gives primary monkeys in range (including himself) +20% attack speed in addition to giving everything +1 damage.
🤗 Level 10: Monkeys in range of pat get +3 damage while he’s squeezing a MOAB.
🤗 Level 20: Monkeys in range of pat get +9 damage while he’s squeezing a MOAB.
💭 Pat Fusty has been lacking synergy with any other towers for a while now and his popularity has suffered a lot because of it. Pat Fusty is a simple fellow so we thought synergy with Primary Monkeys was a good fit and gave him a weaker but more versatile version of Fusty the Snowman’s speed boost. We also made Pat an honorary Primary Monkey so that he can benefit from the Village’s top path upgrades, creating a new use for some fairly niche upgrades.
Fusty the Snowman
⛄ Level 5: All Ice Monkeys can pop/freeze white bloons.
🧊 Level 5: Fusty’s backhand creates 6 ice shards each time it hits a frozen bloon.
🤗 Level 10: Bloons within 50 range of Fusty are slowed to 40% speed while he’s squeezing a MOAB.
🤗 Level 20: Bloons are slowed to 20% speed while he’s squeezing a MOAB.
💭 Despite having a much clearer strategy, Fusty the Snowman also suffers from very low play rates. Letting him remove the Ice Monkey’s main weakness makes the pairing much stronger in the early game.
Highwayman Jericho
⌛ Level 3: Stand and Deliver initial cooldown 45s → 35s
💭 A small buff to the initial cooldown of Highwayman Jericho’s ability allows him to start stealing from the opponent quicker and brings him more in line with the power level of the other Jericho variants.
