Bloons TD 6 v36.0 - Update Notes!

Hello and welcome! We decided to release the balance notes a little ahead of time! Enjoy!
Update video: https://youtu.be/_Nq4f9n2vdU

Key New Features

• New Tower - Mr Beast Handler
  • chomp, rawr, kakaw!
  • So much to say about this tower, but mainly we so hope you enjoy it!
  • The first never before seen tower to join the BTD universe since the Druid and Alchemist at launch almost 5 years ago.
  • This tower plays and gains power in a completely unique way, and there are intentional tradeoffs along the way - you need to choose the right time to Merge beasts or just like any other tower whether more separate and lower-power beasts are situationally better.
  • This is a Support class tower, so seeing how it works with your favorite builds is part of the fun.
  • BTW making cool-looking giant beasts pop Bloons has been pretty awesome, even though it took us twice as long as expected. Thanks for your patience!!!
• Quests! Quests are self-contained challenges with their own special rules, difficulty, and unlock requirements. Patch joins the main menu and acts as the entry point for the Quest system. The intent along with fun gameplay is to sprinkle more story into the game, teaching certain strategies, introducing game modes, trying out items before unlocking them, as well as being a place for us to experiment with new mechanics. Did someone say special missions? No we didn’t say that for 36, but definitely downstream.
• With the launch of the Quests system we have 3 beginner Quests aimed towards newer players. In future updates we will expand this with mid-rank, high rank, and expert level Quests that will introduce higher level ideas and challenges.
  • Beast Handler Quest - The Dartling Gunner unlocks via a basic pop target objective, but this was a simple system and had nothing to do with the tower itself. To unlock the Beast Handler with this update, rank 40+ players will take on a short adventure using the lower tiers of this tower.
  • Race Introduction - When Races unlock at rank 20, they can be quite an intimidating system to start learning. Now rank 20+ players will be able to access their first persistent race, available from the Quest menu. This is a short introduction aimed at new players, or players new to Races. More challenging Race Quests will be added in the future.
  • Quincy’s Trial - All players start the game with Quincy available, and now from the Quest menu or from Quincy's profile on the Hero menu players will be able to engage in a short mission showcasing his strengths, like missing pink bloons

New Awesome

• New Map - Polyphemus
  • No, Lotus Island was never going to be the only stop on that epic journey
  • Your next adventure is Polyphemus, whose one great eye closes over any towers in its site. Never fear, unlike Monkdyseus, your crew is not dead, just out of play until you can open the eye again.
  • Another one made with challenges in mind, and yes, we’ll look for other uses for this mechanic in the future.
• New Achievements - a simple intro to quests with: Side Quest, World League Training
• New Trophy Store Items
  • Monkeys: Tack Shooter Hedgehog pet, Village - Philippines Flag, Village - Trans Flag
  • Bloons: Lobster BFB skin, true camo DDT skin, suspicious visor
  • Game & UI: Avatar73 - Necromancer, Avatar74 - Darts, Avatar75 - Gravelord Lych, Avatar76 - Sun Hat Adora
• Competition Winning items
  • Banner29 - community banner by ratcrunch - Avatar of Darkness
• Limited Time only
  • Alchemist Flower splash projectiles, Banner29 - Blossom Temple
• New CT Team Store items
  • Base Props: Dino Spring Egg, Cake Baker Monkey
  • Icons: Overclocked Icon, Choc Bunny icon
  • Frames: Bloon From The Dead frame, Flower Burst frame

Game Changes / Additions

• Reworked towers with secondary attack target options to use a smaller icon for this target that is no longer linked to the target priority display. We apologize to the players who were comfortable with the “buttonized” target priorities, but many players were confused by that implementation, so we’re hoping this is a better, clearer UI for all.
• Added option to enter Races with Monkey Money even if Race Passes are owned

Bug Fixes & General Changes

Boomerang Monkey

• 5xx Glaive Lord and Glaive Dominus Rotating Glaives now visually change direction with the change hand targeting

Banana Farm

• can now be purchased in Deflation and CHIMPS (they still will not make money)
• gains a pop count display and pop count now properly appears on Named Monkey records
• 420, 520, 024, and 025 Farm; fixed bug where the More Valuable Bananas MK was not being used when buffed by a xx4 Village
• x3x Monkey Bank and above can withdraw using the 'Change Targeting' hotkey and withdraw all using the 'Reverse Change Targeting' hotkey
• x4x IMF Loan and above can deposit using the 'Monkey Special' hotkey

Obyn

• fixed bug where blown back bloons were not filling up Wall of Trees

Benjamin

• pop count now properly appears on Named Monkey records

Balance Changes

Boomerang Monkey
Even with the previous buffs, MOAR Glaives performs poorly in comparison to other cleanup towers and Glaive Lord still struggles against fortified ceramics in the late game.

• 4xx MOAR Glaives applies a weaker shred status to the first target hit that deals 3 moab damage every 1s for 15s
• 402 MOAR Glaives gains bonus damage to MOABs +1
• 5xx Glaive Lord main attack gains bonus to fortified +2
• 5xx Glaive Lord Rotating Glaives bonus to fortified increased 2 > 4
• 5xx Glaive Lord Rotating Glaives pierce increased 80 > 160

Ice Monkey
What was once a bug is back as a feature to help its reliability as a decamo option.

• 4xx Embrittlement gains a separate larger decamo radius (similar to Signal Flare) and can decamo whites and zebras

Glue Gunner
Despite being purported as a ceramic counter, Bloon Liquefier is terrible at dealing with large groups even with the middle crosspath and as such makes for a poor saveup to The Bloon Solver. Continuing from the changes from last update, we are giving it Relentless Glue's old behavior to help it better deal with crowds, and providing more crosspath interactions for the blobs as promised. Glue Strike and Storm are also getting some reworks to make bottom crosspath more usable.

• 4xx Bloon Liquefier upon destroying a Bloon now drops blobs of glue on the track that deal 1 pierce of 0 damage and applies the glue status to whatever hits it
• 5xx The Bloon Solver glue blobs damage 20 > 15
• 5xx The Bloon Solver glue blobs lifetime 5s > 7.5s
• 510 The Bloon Solver glue blobs pierce 1 > 2
• 520 The Bloon Solver glue blobs pierce 1 > 5
• 501 The Bloon Solver glue blobs lifetime 5s > 10s
• x4x Glue Strike ability can now hit MOAB-class bloons without Corrosive Glue
• x4x Glue Strike ability no longer weakens lead bloons
• x4x Glue Strike ability bonus damage taken while glued reduced 2 > 1
• 240 Glue Strike ability remains able to weaken lead bloons
• 240 Glue Strike ability bonus damage taken while glued remains at 2

Monkey Buccaneer
Giving more utility to the underutilized crosspaths.

• 402 Aircraft Carrier aircraft missiles damage type Explosive > Normal
• 502 Carrier Flagship buff grants camo detection and applies to towers placed on its decks
• 203 Merchantman end of round income 200 > 240
• 204 Favored Trades sellback buff +10% -> +12%
• 204 Favored Trades end of round income 500 > 600
• 205 Trade Empire buff to xx3 limit increased 20 > 24
• 205 Trade Empire end of round income 800 > 960

Monkey Ace
Toning back our last change to Neva-Miss, because it seems to have fallen off too much.

• xx3 Neva-Miss Targeting price reduced from $2800 > $2400

Heli Pilot
Heli's MOAB Shove doesn't scale with higher tiers so additions have been made to the mini Comanches.

• xx4 Comanche Defense minis gain a weaker MOAB Shove effect (50% compared to main heli)
• xx5 Comanche Defense minis gain the full MOAB Shove effect

Mortar Monkey
Adapted from a change in Battles 2. We'll see how well it works locked to a upgrade instead of being a base tower feature. Plus giving Burny Stuff more love to make a more competitive crosspath choice for middle path.

• xx1 Increased Accuracy adds 'Follow Touch' targeting option (hotkey: Shift + Tab)
• 032 Heavy Shells allows burn from this tower to tic three times as fast (also expires three times as fast) and the burn inherits the bonus damages of the main attack

Wizard Monkey
Currently you need to give and remove an external range buff to reset zombie targeting. Automatic targeting for Wall of Fire refers to its old behavior prior to v33.0, where it would follow the tower's targeting priority if bloons were in range. We are also giving Arcane Blast more crosspath interactions and fixing Archmage's Dragon's Breath's range.

• 5xx Archmage Dragon's Breath attack now matches tower's range
• 120 Wall of Fire can target the outside of the tower's range to revert targeting back to automatic
• x3x Dragon's Breath price increased $3000 > $3300
• 230 Dragon's Breath flame attack ceram bonus increased 1 > 2
• 104 Necromancer can target the zombie spawn point outside of the tower's range to revert targeting back to automatic
• 204 Necromancer zombie gains bonus to ceramic +1

Alchemist
Acid Pools have long been unchanged and underpowered, so these changes should give it some utility while not being a Caltrops clone. AMD currently has negative synergy with Lead to Gold's primary function, so this should solve that. The BMA change is to offset some of the money lost from the shrink attack.

• xx2 Acid Pools last +1 round, main potion attack drops Acid Pools on impact unless pierce-capped
• xx3 Lead to Gold Acid Pools can hit camo
• 203 Lead to Gold AMD-buffed towers also grant the $50 cash bonus when popping leads
• 023 Lead to Gold attacking DDTs weakens them (like Glue Strike ability) and generates the $50 cash bonus
• 204 Rubber to Gold AMD-buffed towers get the income bonus when attacking
• 024 Rubber to Gold gains +100% income bonus on fortified MOABs
• xx5 BMA shrink potions transforms targets into leads

Druid
Heart of Thunder was previously buffed to scale better with higher tiers, but middle path was overlooked back then.

• 240 Jungle's Bounty (HoT) bonus damage to MOABs +2
• 250 Spirit of the Forest (HoT) damage increased 2 > 10
• 250 Spirit of the Forest (HoT) bonus damage to MOABs +4

Banana Farm
Giving top path reasons to go for bottom crosspath, more consistency with the middle path, and a quality of life change that lazy farmers everywhere will enjoy.

• x4x IMF Loan and x5x Monkey-nomics ability income will now increase with external buffs
• xx1 EZ Collect bananas can be autocollected by 041 Druids
• xx2 Banana Salvage uncollected bananas now explode and leave banana peels that blow back bloons upon expiry. Explosions deal damage equal to their monetary value and have 20 pierce. Banana peels have pierce equal to their monetary value and lifetime equal to that of the generated bananas (money is still collected like before). If autocollected by 042 Druids, the bananas can be harvested for their full monetary value and still explode and leave peels. It also becomes able to take Alchemist buffs.
• xx5 Monkey Wall Street autocollect range now matches the tower range and can be affected by external range buffs (including Alchemist)

Spike Factory
While Perma-Spike is already a popular and strong option, we felt this change will be a much-appreciated quality of life improvement. To offset this, we are also increasing the prices.

• xx2 Smart Spikes gains a target selection point which can override the regular targeting options using the 'Monkey Special' hotkey
• xx5 Perma-Spike price increased $30000 > $33000

Monkey Village
Ever since Monkeyopolis's nerf put it out of the farming meta, there remains little point in making one. This rework should make it more valuable to use again.

• xx5 Monkeyopolis income generated exactly matches the sacrificed farms and income collection method is based on most invested farm type:
  • top path & base farms: generates crates (current behavior)
  • middle path farms: generates income and interest in a bank balance equal to sacrificed banks' capacities
  • bottom path farms: autocollects income

T4 Farm effects like the Banana Central BRF buff, bank deposits and IMF Loan abilities, and Merchantman buffs do not transfer.
Engineer Monkey
The Pin effect is currently underpowered on Sentry Champion, so these changes should help its case without being overpowering. Cleansing Foam's Sentries can currently decamo, though it is rarely useful because they need external support to even see them in the first place.

• 502 Sentry Champion sentries can pin ceramics
• 502 Sentry Champion sentries can pin MOAB-class bloons when exploding
• 130 Cleansing Foam sentries can see camo
• Master Builder's Green Sentry Paragon can now be locked

Obyn
With the rework to secondary attack target options, we can now give Obyn the ability to target all of his items individually. No idea how to meaningfully buff him though.

• Lv3 Brambles gains a target selection point
• Lv4 Nature's Ward Totem gains a target selection point

Benjamin
How is this not a thing yet?

• Lv7 Bloon Trojan now follows Target Priority

Geraldo
I just think it would be neat. I have no idea what the ramifications this would have on the game balance.

• items unlocked between Lv1 and Lv15 can now receive discounts from xx1 and xx2 Villages
• all items can now receive discounts from Sun Temples and True Sun Gods.

^{If you made it all the way to end, thanks for reading! I am not affiliated with NK; this is simply a collection of my ideas for balance changes with a little April Fool's flair. It was also interesting looking back at previous path notes and trying to replicate NK's writing styles.}
