This price buff should hopefully make camo rush a bit more dangerous🎈 Tight Ceramics: ceramic count 40 -> 30🎈 All spaced and grouped ZOMGs are $500 cheaper💭 Even with tight ceramics, recent nerfs are still a bit too strong. Lowering the amount sent should allow them to still be dangerous but not over powered. We are also making ZOMGs cheaper to give an alternative rush to tight ceramicsBomb Shooter💣 x4x MOAB Assassin: 30 -> 40 moab damage💭 This buff should help the Bomb Shooter have better late game damageTack Shooter💰 x3x Blade Shooter: $750 -> $600💭 Blade Shooter was getting over shadowed early game this should bring it back in line Sniper Monkey🥽 x1x Night V…

Bomb Shooter💣103 Cluster Bombs: bonus cluster pierce +6 -> +4💣203 Cluster Bombs: bonus cluster pierce +6 -> +4💭 Cluster Bombs is already a potent weapon against grouped bloons, especially when map blockers allow multiple explosions to hit the same bloon.

- Bloons TD Battles 2 4.9 Out Now - Update Notes! - 2 September 2025
New FeaturesNew Bloon Modifier: Phayze Bloons👁 Phayze bloons spawn with reality altering shields that protect them from damage. 1️⃣ The shield has health equal to 1% of the bloons total health (minimum 1).⛔ Damage to the shield does NOT transfer to the bloon if the shield is destroyed. (E.g. Hitting a red phayze bloon with a 20 damage sniper shot will destroy the shield and leave the red bloon unharmed)🏃♂️ When the shield is destroyed, the bloon glitches forward 10% of the total track length. It is completely invulnerable while glitching. 🎈 Once a shield is destroyed and the bloon glitches forward, it becomes a normal bloon. It can never regain the phayze shield.🔓 Phayze bloons unlock for sending at round 15. Adding phayze applies a 1.75x multiplier to the cost of the send.🌎 Phayze bloons appear in the natural rounds starting at round 21.🤵 Opponents in Hero Challenge will now sen…

- Update 4.2.1 is rolling out now - Patch Notes! - 16 September 2024
New Features OTA Updates - 📡 We’ve added support for OTA (Over The Air) updates to allow us to make balance changes and fix some issues without requiring a full game update. Balance Changes Arena League Trophies - 🏆 The penalty for losing a game in the Hall of Masters has been increased from -2 trophies to -3 trophies. - 🏆 The penalty for losing a game in ZOMG Superdome has been increased from -2 trophies to -3 trophies. - 📅 This will take effect on Friday 20th September with the start of new the Arena League. - 💭 The feedback from the Arena Leagues survey showed that many players wanted Hall of Masters to be a more exclusive arena with a much higher skill threshold. We are increasing the trophy penalty in ZOMG and HoM so that a 50% win rate (excluding streak bonuses) would be the minimum to avoid auto demotion. We want to avoid increasing the penalty to 4 or more trophies as it wo…

- Update 3.3.1 is out now - Patch Notes! - 2 April 2024
General Changes Clan War games now give the same Monkey Money rewards as ranked games. There is now a sound effect on entering the lobby when a match is found to draw attention for players who may be doing other things while waiting. On desktop, the game will also automatically take focus when this happens. Thanks to Supertiger for this great suggestion! Bug Fixes Fixed Fateweaver Adora’s Eye of Misfortune ability selling the chosen monkey rather than sacrificing it. Fixed daily clan war monkey money not being awarded if disconnected in the lobby. Fixed Cyber Quincy’s level 18 upgrade increasing Cyber Shot’s cooldown instead of reducing Cyber Storm’s cooldown. Fixed players who reach the clan war milestones not receiving their bonus Golden Bananas until after they restart their game. Fixed the Battle Ready Quest for leveling up Quincy only triggering when he reached level 8 rather than…
- Battles 2 Update 3.3 Out Now - Update Notes! - 27 March 2024
http://s3.amazonaws.com/nkapi-user-documents-production/appdocs/17/assets/assets/BTD6_B2_ULTRA_3_3.png New Features New Hero: Fateweaver Adora - Fateweaver Adora specializes in manipulating her opponents and turning their own strength against them. - Fateweaver swaps Adora’s synergy with Supermonkeys for her Bad Luck effect, which increases the cooldown on the opposing hero’s abilities by 5%. Agent Jericho will have to wait a little longer before he helps himself to Fateweaver’s funds. This effect increases to 10% at level 11, and extends to all opposing monkeys at level 16. - Fateweaver’s level 3 ability is Sharp Sting of Fate, a single high speed, high pierce attack that seeks bloons all across the map. It usually has a respectable 40 second cooldown between uses but, if your opponent tries to rush you with a bloon boost, the cooldown drops to a mere 8 seconds so she’s always ready fo…
- Update 3.2.4 - Patch Notes! - 29 February 2024
Update 3.2.4 is rolling out now! Here's what's changed: Balance Changes Bomb Shooter - xx3 Cluster Bombs: 2xx increases the clusters’ pierce by 10 -> 6 (total pierce 24 -> 20) - Cluster Bombs has always stood out as a top tier early-mid game tower, leaving very little room for effective rushes against it on certain maps. We have decided to limit the pierce increase that 2xx gives to the clusters since it’s an extremely efficient upgrade, providing a big pierce bonus on top of extra damage. Sniper Monkey - 4xx Maim MOAB: ZOMG stun length 0.3s -> 0.45s - Sniper has remained one of the least used towers in the highest arenas for a long time now. We felt like its ZOMG stun could be more efficient since it pales in comparison to other upgrades such as Heli Pilot’s MOAB Shove. Monkey Sub - 3xx Submerge and Support: Sonar pierce ∞ -> 100. x1x adds 20 pierce and x2 adds a further 30 pierce. - 4…
