Update 1.10 is rolling out now - Agent Jericho is here!

New Hero: Highwayman Jericho - Unlock Highwayman Jericho with Jericho points - Steal a chunk of your opponent’s cash with the Stand and Deliver special ability.

New Map: COBRA Command - Defend COBRA HQ from the bloon attack. - Activate the hidden panic buttons in the furniture to reveal more placement areas, including water. - Hit the alarm to open a secret passage on the opponent's side letting the bloons take a shorter path towards the exit.

Accolades - Collect achievements by reaching certain milestones. - Show off the accolades you unlock on your profile like medals. - Accolades are secret until you unlock them. Can you find them all?
General Changes
Thin Ice Map - This map will no longer appear in Hall of Masters ranked games. - This map resulted in much longer games than we’d like in Hall of Masters games due to its long path. It will no longer appear in Hall of Masters ranked games but will still appear in casual and event games.
Balance Changes
Bloon Sends - Spaced ceramics: income 4 -> 5 and spacing 0.9 -> 0.75 - Spaced ceramics rarely get sent as an effective rush, so we have improved the efficiency and made them slightly more dangerous. This will hopefully make them more of a viable option for pressuring your opponent whilst building income.
Boomerang Monkey - xx5 MOAB Domination: $60k -> $55k - xx5 MOAB Domination: Special kylie moab damage 30 -> 40 - MOAB Domination did not do enough damage to justify its high price tag, so we have reduced its cost and increased its damage. - Sniper Monkey - xx4 Full Auto Rifle: Bonus MOAB damage 1 -> 2 (xx5 remains at 2) - Bonus MOAB damage from 105 and 205 crosspaths now applies to 104 and 204 crosspaths. - The bottom path of the sniper does not see much use in general so we are increasing its MOAB damage in the interim ahead of more substantial changes in a future update.
Monkey Sub - xx5 Sub Commander: Now increases the range of all subs by +20 - xx5 Sub Commander: Pierce increase for other subs +4 -> +6 - Sub has always been a popular tower, however its bottom path has never been utilised much.
Monkey Buccaneer - 4xx Aircraft Carrier: Missile damage 15 -> 20 and damage type changed to unstoppable - 5xx Carrier Flagship: Missile damage 50 -> 60 - Buccaneer has shown to be a useful tower for its money generation and early game popping power, as well as its easy MOAB defense with its ability. However, it felt lacking in general late-game damage, therefore we have buffed its top path.
Wizard Monkey - xx4 Necromancer: Max graveyard capacity 500 -> 450 (xx5 capacity unchanged) - x4x Summon Phoenix: Phoenix Pierce 10 -> 8 - Wizard has become one of the most used towers in all arenas, with its necromancer and phoenix attacks standing out as its strong points.
Alchemist - 5xx Permanent Brew: range 55 -> 45 - Now that permanent brew has shown to be an incredibly strong and efficient upgrade in the late game, the extra range that this upgrade provides no longer felt necessary.
Spike Factory - xx5 Permaspike: damage 10 -> 15 - This upgrade very rarely sees use, as it is outclassed by spike factory’s other paths.
Engineer Monkey - x5x Ultraboost: max ultraboost stacks per tower 10 -> 5 - x5x Ultraboost: Each stack increases attack speed by 4% -> 8% - For such an expensive upgrade, it takes too long to get the full effect from this upgrade, and so we have doubled the effect from each buff in order to help with this.
Gwendolin - Base Cost: $850 -> $800
Science Gwen - Base Cost: $850 -> $800 - We reduced Gwendolin and Scientist Gwenodlin’s price in a previous update, however it did not have much effect, therefore we are reducing it again to encourage them to be used more often.
Sentai Churchill - Level 3: High Energy Shells ability increases attack speed by 50% -> 45% - Sentai Churchill has still proven to be one of the strongest and most popular heroes in Hall of Masters, so we are giving it another small nerf to bring it more in line with the other heroes.
Cyber Quincy - Level 3: Cyber Shot ability duration increased from 2s + 0.5s per level to 5s + 0.5s per level - There was a bug with Quincy and Cyber Quincy where the ability itself had a different duration from the buff it created, meaning the effect was always cut short even as we increased the duration through other balance patches. This has now been fixed and both abilities are lasting the duration we intended.
Quincy - Level 3: Rapid Shot ability duration is 2s + 0.5s per level - This is not a change, but as the bug mentioned above meant that no previous change to Quincy’s ability duration was actually applied, it’s worth noting for future context.
Benjamin - Base Cost: $1200 -> $1000 - Level 5: all banks earn +5% -> +8% income - Level 9: all banks earn 12% -> 14% income - Level 8: generates $250 -> $400 per round - Level 11: generates $300 -> $600 per round - Level 15: generates $500 -> $1000 per round - Level 17: generates $800 -> $2000 per round
DJ Benjammin’ - Base Cost: $1200 -> $1000 - Level 5: all banks earn +5% -> +8% income - Level 9: all banks earn 12% -> 14% income - Level 8: generates $187 -> $300 per round - Level 11: generates $225 -> $600 per round - Level 15: generates $375 -> $750 per round - Level 17: generates $600 -> $1500 per round - Benjamin and DJ Benjamin do not see as much use recently. We have made it easier to place Benjamin early on, and improved his buff to Banks to allow for more potential for them to be used in combination with him. Furthermore, his income generation did not feel significant enough to be of much impact, so we increased his income amounts in the later levels.
Bug Fixes
Fixed Activated Abilities displaying as on cooldown when they are ready if a recent upgrade reduced the cooldown.
Fixed RodenDDT skin missing a fin
Fixed clipping issues with various emotes
Fixed hero reward backgrounds incorrectly changing colour when scrolling.
Minor text fixes
Fixed being able to place Monkey Subs and Buccaneers in the pools on Bloon Bot Factory without opening the hatch.

Fixed Ocean Obyn visual issues.
Fixed xx5 Supermonkey’s shield not displaying correctly.
Fixed Bomb Shooter occasionally not playing the reload animation.
Fixed Quincy having no feet when he appears in the tutorial.
Fixed Bloon Boost not working if you lose and restart during the tutorial.
Fixed Fusty the Snowman’s Cold Cannon animation displaying incorrectly in the preview window.
Fixed the Monkey Village fire being unlit on the main menu.
Fixed 3xx and xx3 Dart Monkeys not reverting from the Super Monkey Fan Club transformation if they are upgraded while transformed.
Fixed mud splatter not appearing on the right hand side of the screen when the pipe moves on the Building Site map.

As always, we welcome your feedback! Happy gaming :)
Update 1.9.1 is now live - Patch Notes!
Balance Changes
Bloon Sends - Grouped reds income 1 -> 0.9 - Spaced blues income 1 -> 0.8 - Grouped blues income 1.1 -> 1 - Spaced greens income 1.2 -> 0.9 - Spaced yellows income 1.5 -> 1.2 - Spaced pinks income 1.5 -> 1.4 - Spaced purples income 3.5 -> 3.3 - Spaced zebras income 2.8 -> 2.7 - Spaced leads income 3 -> 2.8 - Spaced rainbows $85 -> $70 - Spaced rainbows income 3.8 -> 3 - We have found that income strategies are allowing players to earn too much money in the early game, making them necessary even when playing farms. We’d like income vs farms to be more of a choice and so have reduced the income value of the most efficient early bloon sends.
Bloon Bot Factory - Flying towers like the Monkey Ace, Heli Pilot, and Phoenix will continue to function even if their base has gone down with the elevator. - Pools have been made slightly smaller so that you can no longer place both a Buccaneer and Pat in the same pool. - Buffs from monkeys and heroes that affect the entire map, such as Striker Jones’ level 5 or the 5xx Banana Farm, will continue to work even if the tower has gone down with the elevator. - We noticed that Pat Fusty and the Buccaneer were dominating play on this map and that very few players were engaging with the elevators. We hope that these changes, along with the change to Ocean Obyn, will allow for more viable strategies when playing in Bloon Bot Factory.
Monkey Buccaneer - xx1 Long Range: $180 -> $300 - We felt the pierce buff this upgrade gives to Grape Shot is a bit too powerful for such a cheap upgrade. This change also increases the cost to get to the xx3 Merchantman upgrade which is extremely efficient at both cash generation and defence.
Alchemist - x2x Perishing Potions: DoT damage interval 0.75s -> 1s - x2x Perishing Potions: duration 2.25s -> 3s - Base pierce 15 -> 14 - 1xx Larger Potions: pierce bonus +8 -> +6 - The alchemist is showing to be very strong in the early and mid-game at group popping power. These changes should bring it slightly more in line with other towers that serve a similar role.
Ocean Obyn - ♂️ Ocean Obyn can now be placed on water or land. - As mentioned above, we hope that giving Ocean Obyn the ability to be placed on water will help reduce Pat Fusty’s monopoly on the Bloon Bot Factory map, as well as giving an additional reason to use Ocean Obyn over Obyn Greenfoot.
Bug Fixes
Fixed Ports and Inflections maps not appearing in No Pain No Gain games.
Fixed missing banner image for upcoming Bananza events.
Fixed tutorial sometimes starting anyway even if you opt to skip it.
Fixed profile screen tabs sometimes disappearing.
Added performance improvements for Bananza mode.
Fixed loading screen not filling the display of ultra wide devices.
Improved matchmaking in event and casual games.
Fixed incorrect text displaying as Banaza event description
Fixed moab class bloons affected by unstable concoction damaging their own children when they explode.
Fixed issue where it was sometimes impossible to upgrade the Monkey Village to Monkeyopolis
Fixed visual highlight not appearing on widescreen phones when choosing a bloon send with the Bloon Bot.
Fixed income display overlapping round number in bonanza.
Fixed quincy’s bowstring being drawn behind his pouch in his portrait.
Fixed crash when using Supermonkey’s Legend of the Night ability
We welcome your feedback and happy gaming! :D

Tutorial Changes - The first stage of the tutorial is now optional for new players. - Players who choose to skip the tutorial can play it later from the Battle School menu.

Bomb Shooter - xx5 Bomb Blitz: passive ability damage 2k -> 3k - xx5 Bomb Blitz: no longer requires you to leak to activate (will now activate just before you leak, similar to xx5 super monkey’s portal. Still activates when losing lives from Ezili’s totem.) This change went live in 1.8 but was omitted from the patch notes by mistake.
Wizard Monkey - 510 Archmage: fireball damage 3 -> 9 - 5xx Archmage’s fireball, wall of fire, dragon’s breath and shimmer have their attack speed doubled. - 500 Dragon's Breath now does +2 damage to MOABs - 510 Fireball now does +9 damage to MOABs - 520 Wall of Fire now does +1 damage to MOABs
Wizard Monkey - x5x Phoenix Lord upgrade now only buffs other phoenixes, not itself.
Pat Fusty - Base Cost: $800 -> $950
Fusty the Snowman - Base Cost: $800 -> $950

Fixed crash when reconnecting after lifts have dropped on Bloon Bot Factory
Fixed upgrade text in Korean not wrapping correctly
Fixed long creator codes not fitting in the text box

You’ll need a backup defense to succeed on this map! - Keep an eye on the warning lights and sirens next to the elevators. They signal when one of the elevators is about to descend, giving you a few moments to react before your towers disappear.

Fixed MOAB class bloons turning the wrong way when rounding corners on Bloontonium Mines

As always, we welcome your feedback and happy gaming! :)
Update 1.6.1 is out now - Patch Notes!
Update 1.6.1 is now rolling out on iOS, Android and Steam!
Balance Changes
Hero XP - The in-game XP required for Quincy, Cyber Quincy, Gwen, Science Gwen, Churchill and Sentai Churchill to reach each level has been reverted to the amounts used before 1.6. - The intent of the v1.6 hero XP change was to limit the power of the stronger heroes in the early/mid game, requiring you to spend more money if you wish to obtain powerful abilities such as Obyn’s Wall of Trees on the same rounds as before. However this change has also affected the lesser used heroes, which was not necessary, and so we have reverted the change for those heroes in hopes that this will encourage more usage of them.
Engineer Monkey - xx4/xx5 Bloon Trap can no longer be affected by attack speed buffs such as Overclock - x4x Overlock buff to Banana Farm changed from x1.67 to x1.5
