Balance Changes

• Bloon Boost

  • Bloon Boost: Speed +40% -> +33%

  • We made Bloon Boosts more powerful few updates ago to ensure that games stayed fast paced and aggressive despite some towers getting sizable buffs. We knew this would be an impactful change and we wanted to give it a lot of time to settle before we altered it further. We feel enough time has passed now and have decided that the new Bloon Boost makes some early rushes a little too hard to defend so we are dialing it back a bit.

• Bloon Sends

  • Tight Ceramics: $2800 -> $3200

  • Tight ceramics were a dangerous rush which offered a little too much value for their cost. We are increasing their price to reflect how potent this bloon send is.

• Monkey Buccaneer

  • x4x Monkey Pirates and x5x Pirate Lord abilities now give cash when they destroy a MOAB class bloon ($400 for a MOAB, $800 for a BFB, and $1200 for a ZOMG or DDT).

  • x3x Merchantman: End of round bonus: $300 -> $350

  • The Buccaneer’s popularity has fallen as of late so we are bringing over a popular change from BTD6 to increase its utility.

• Monkey Ace

  • 000 Monkey Ace: $700 -> $850

  • x3x Bomber Ace: $900 -> $1000

  • The Monkey Ace has been a strong tower in all stages of the game. We are increasing the cost of its early upgrades to make it a more difficult tower to start with.

• Dartling gunner 

  • 000 Dartling Gunner: $800 -> $700

  • Dartling is hindered by a expensive early game. Decreasing its base cost will make it viable in more strategies.

• Super Monkey

  • 3xx Sun Avatar: $11,500 -> $13,000

  • 4xx Sun Temple / 5xx True Sun God: Maximum sacrifice value $15,000 -> $20,000

  • We are increasing the maximum value of sacrificed towers to make it more of a decision whether to fully commit to a maxed out Sun Temple or get a less powerful temple quicker.

• Druid

  •  4xx Ball Lightning: Ball of lightning now home in on bloons

  • x2x Heart of Oak: Attacks now have a 33% chance to remove fortified from non-MOAB bloons.

  • Druid has felt a bit weaker than we wanted. With the ball of light now homing to the bloons, it should be easier to use its full power. We are also increasing the utility of Heart of Oak as it has felt a little lacking.

• Banana Farm

  • xx1 Quality Soil: Discount 20% -> 15%

  • The introduction of the Quality Soil upgrade was another impactful change we wanted to allow plenty of room to settle before tweaking it. We feel this change will slow down farms in the early game, but keep their late game impact.

• Monkey Village

  • xx5 Monkeyopolis: Base price $15,000 -> $20,000

  • The Monkeyopolis upgrade was proving to be a bit too efficient seeing as it improves bloon income as well as generating cash itself. We are increasing its cost to reflect its powerful money making ability.

• Engineer Monkey

  • 4xx Sentry Expert: Initial sentries 6 -> 4

  • We want Sentry Expert to have a big impact the moment you purchase it so feel it’s important to keep the bonus sentries it spawns. 6 bonus sentries were proving to be too much extra damage however so we are dialing it back to 4 to make it a more measured response to a rush.

• Cyber Quincy

  • Level 10: Cyber Storm ability damage 25 -> 15 per 0.05s

  • Level 14: Cyber Storm remains at 25 damage per 0.05s

  • Cyber quincy has very quickly become the most popular hero. This decrease in his initial damage should bring it back in line with the other heroes.

• Gwendolin

  • Level 5: Pyrotechnic Expert gives +10% -> +15% attack speed and blast radius to Ring of Fire Tack Shooters, Signal Flare Mortars, and Dragon’s Breath Wizards.

  • Level 18: Pyrotechnic Master gives +20% -> +30% attack speed and blast radius to Ring of Fire Tack Shooters, Signal Flare Mortars, and Dragon’s Breath Wizards.

  • Gwen’s synergies with other fire towers were not proving as impactful as we would like so we are improving its potency.

• Ocean Obyn

  • Level 3: Living Coral pierce starts at 20->30, gains 10->15 pierce per 10 seconds, and caps at 100->150.

  • level 7: Living Coral pierce starts at 40->60, gains 20->30 pierce per 10 seconds, and caps at 200->300.

  • Level 16: Living Coral pierce starts at 200->300, gains 100->150 pierce per 10 seconds, and caps at 800->1200.

  • Ocean Obyn has not had any changes in quite a long time so he was due for a shake up. Increasing the pierce of his Living Coral ability will hopefully give him a new lease on life.

• Smudge Catt Ezili

  • Level 7: Scratching Post ability duration increased 10s -> 15s

  • Level 16 Scratching Post ability duration increased 20s -> 30s

  • Smudge Catt Ezili is another hero who has been proving less popular of late. We are increasing the duration of her Scratching Post to help her stand out amongst the crowd.

• Agent Jericho

  • Level 10: MOAB Decoy is now affected by the late game speed ramping that applies to real MOABs.

  • MOAB Decoy was proving to be too decisive in late game battles. Allowing it to be affected by speed ramping means it spends less overall time on screen and thus reduces the amount of time it can serve as a distraction.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed Opponent Hero sometimes being unable to fire abilities on Bloon Bot Factory in the Bloon Lab.

• Fixed Bloon Boost not working in Bloon Lab.

• Known Issue: Agent Jericho will not send Bloon Decoys when facing him in Hero Challenge. This will be fixed very soon in an update.

Previously, a major Bloons TD Battles 2 update 1.5 added a new event (Speed Battles and Play with Fire), and Bling Season 6. Recently, BTDB2 update 1.10 also added a new hero: Agent Jericho. Unfortunately, players are still facing some issues with the game. Today’s BTD Battles 2 patch 4.8 will address a few of these issues.
