Remember this is strictly my opinion
Primary
Underrated: Top path Dart monkey
It may be sort of situational, but I think it’s useful in more maps than people give it credit for. Even just getting it near the entrance to a map can make it pretty good
Overrated: Middle path tack shooter
I’m not too sure if people actually like this thing, but I think they do?? Anyway I’ve always just found it annoying to use and not very good, though it is very cheap so I guess there’s that
Military
Underrated: Middle path mortar
It’s super effective even if you hate microing (which I do), works incredibly well on loops. I may be biased because I’m working on glacial trail chimps though lmao
Overrated: middle path sub
Every time I’ve used it the missile just feels like it doesn’t do much idk
Magic
Underrated: Top path Druid
Tier 5 is very expensive, but the ball lightning is super powerful, and even freezes bloons
Overrated: Bottom path Druid
It just never feels like it affects the Druid much, even with 5
Support
Underrated: middle path farm
Apparently people don’t like this?? It makes more money than a marketplace in the long-term, requires minimal microing, and is extremely good with Benjamin’s bank hack. I only go up to tier 3 though
Overrated: top path spike factory
I like using it, but I find that I’m often disappointed by it’s performance, unless it’s tier 5, but that’s often way too expensive
Edit: I forgot heroes
Underrated: brickell

Update: Bloons TD 6 v42.0 - Update Notes!
Available now for most platform please restart your storefront or be patient if it does not appear for you, these updates can take some time to be rolled out to every region due to how the storefronts are set up.

New Awesome

Welcome to the Bloons Update Notes and Balance Changes! Welcoming in the new year with our first large update, we have a sweeping hoop of bug fixes and balance changes, along with 2 new summer-festive maps to sink your teeth into (beware, don't anger the monkey hidden in the trees!) along with 12 new trophy store items and 4 new limited items! Including East Bunny Geraldo Pets, and sparkling glue glue gunner effect!

• NEW Pat Fusty Easter Bunny Skin!
• 2 New Maps! (Intermediate, Advanced)
• 3 new secret quests have been added including a Tutorial for our last heroes, and one fun-filled secret which you can find in the experiment tab! (We really hope you like what we've had cooking up on this one!)
• After a recent spike in demand, we have altered some game modes. Reverse is now a toggle that can be switched on and off, to play in any game mode, as opposed to its own game mode. We are considering turning other game modes into toggles, and will adjust trophies accordingly. Let us know in the comments which game modes you would like to see turned into toggles, and if you have any suggestions for replacing the newly 'lost' modes!
• In Double HP Moab Mode, MOAB scaling now appropriately applies double adjustment in Freeplay. Good luck going into super late game in this new competitive version of the mode! It should be MUCH quicker to reach the highest round possible!
• Like CHIMPS, Half cash now automatically disables double cash (seriously, what we're you thinking?)
• In order to make the game more friendly all around the world, the evil number 6 has been entirely removed from the game.
• The new anti-stall anti-income random stoppage of cash ability cooldowns has worked out tremendously! Because of this, we are doubling down.
• Cash abilities now stop cooling down 10 seconds after the round STARTS as opposed to 10 seconds following the last bloon spawning on screen.
• Accessibility slider now scales projectile to the increased range of -100% to 200%
• Test MOAB added to Sandbox

In the past, we've had many updates which bring a random assortment of new additions or changes to the game. However, it has never been our focus to deliver anything with a specific goal in mind. Because of this, we have missed many milestones and an ever growing list of opportunities that could have been executed on perfectly.
Going forwards, we want each of our updates to have a special theme present with it. This will help to make each update feel more special, similar to seasons in other popular and alive games. And what better way to make an update feel thematic than with a title?
So without further ado, we here at Ninja Kiwi present Update 42.0, the FUN Update!
Bloons TD 6 has always been a game that delivers bang for its buck. This has gone on for years, much at the benefit of the players. However, as Bloons expands across the globe to wider reaching markets, it makes less and less sense to continue to incentive new players to join in when such a large market of loyal fans can be reached. So a number of changes will be to follow:

• To limit inflation, all accounts are having their monkey money slashed by 20% at the start of every update. Buy what you need before its gone!
• Every cosmetic can now be purchased with real world cash instead of trophies. Additionally, trophy prices for all items are raising by 30% so as to make each individual item more unique instead of players buying them all at once at the start of a new update. So if you do not have enough trophies or have just started the game, you still have the ability to purchase any item you wish instead of being locked out until you save up the amount needed. This also gives our OG players the special feeling of keeping their items, as they have already been purchased for free before this change.
• Limited time trophy store items are also now permanently limited time as a one time purchasing window, similar to what we just removed from Battles 2. We hear you, Dabloon!
• Similar to contested territory, backing out of the game and going in sends players back to the 20 round checkpoint despite the event or difficulty. This cheese has been allowed in the game for too long, and is too easy of an out. We strive to make our games fun, and there is no penalty if players aren't losing and sacrificing their monkey money. So this change was required and deemed necessary by our higher ups.
• Additionally, ad blockers now officially disable the bloons td 6 app from being launched, and an ad free experience can be purchased in the store for the price of $49.99 (remember to use a creator code to support your fellow youtubers!)
• Despite our desperate pleading attempts to prevent it in every way humanly possible, defying all logic, Stalling has always been favorable in boss events, especially at the highest arenas. Well, we over here at Ninja Kiwi hate stalling! So we have removed the initial cooldown of the timer. Upon the last bloon being sent in any given round, the timer will immediately begin ticking up. In other words, players will be penalized every single round, at least 1 frame, no matter what. Good luck getting the least penalty now! (Penalty negaters can be bought in the store for the low low price of $19.99)
• When we wrote in the tips telling players that bloons is not meant to be played forever and to go outside, we meant it. Seriously, what's wrong with you all? 4,000+ hours on record? Veteran level 20? It's a simple game of silly little monkeys popping bloons. Get a life!
• There is now a 10 minute delay in between games upon completion, and a 2 hour delay upon losing. Similarly, any game that has been opened for more than 24 hours will have their game uninstalled and files automatically deleted. Thank you for listening!

• Sulfur Springs: Beginning -> Intermediate

QUEST Changes:

• Fixed birthday bad spawning in a partially damaged state

• Added +1 Pierce to dartling gunners on New Dart Just Dropped
• Keep Up With Biker Bones! Race score minimum time reduced to 5:00.00
• Grow Less Than Galixili! Ezili hero is the default hero
• Grow Less Than Galixili! Max Tiers updated 80 -> 70
• Patch's Cheap CHIMPS Challenge least cash updated 80,000 -> 75,000

• MOAB Madness Bottom Path village restricted to xx2
• Fast Upgrades difficulty changed Medium -> Hard
• Heroes now allowed in Fast Upgrades Quest (Heroes earn end of round XP + automatically level up once per round)

BUG FIXES
Fixed bug that prevented submarines from being submerged when retrying last round (and that kept them submerged, unable to be unsubmerged)

• Fixed bug that allowed sky shredder to unfreeze on Apopalypse when backing out of the game
• Fixed Portable Lake stacking
• Fixed bug that made helipilots, monkey aces, and moab class bloons appear much higher than expected on the 3d plane (modders, check this out!)
• Contested Territories now 15% more contested

I mean... I could realistically write whatever I want here. It's not like anyone reads this part anyways. They all just skim the opening and scroll past this down to the balance changes. It's not like this matters, it's only the backbone of the games entire existence. Sure, maybe some devoted people will check if their beloved infinite money hack or their ridiculous quantum entanglement cheese has been patched, but we have the reports. We can see what's going on. We track the data, you know? Your cookies? Have them. Personal data? Easy! What did you expect, were freaking Ninja Kiwi, babyyyyy!!!!

• To create a more immersive experience, Monklish has now been set to the default language for everywhere in the world!
• Fixed bug that allows Pat to perma-hug bloons when retracing last round during the hug animation
• CHIMPS mode has been correctly updated to its new name, HIMPS mode.
• Dart monkeys triple darts now correctly applies its DoT from its darts
• Dart monkey typo now corrected to Fart monkey
• Glue color changed to white to be more realistic
• To remove confusion, cleansing foam will now be changed to yellow so both projectiles aren't white
• Canons can now pop black bloons once again.
• Ice towers may also now be able to pop white bloons.
• Alchemist lead to gold now has a cash indicator to show how much additional money players have received from lead bloons
• x4x and x5x buccaneer now indicate how much additional income hooked moabs have received
• In addition to stripping all properties from bloons, cleansing foam now correctly cleans bloons that pass over it.

This applies more as a QoL feature, but: -Overclock and Ultraboost can no longer apply their abilities to individual sentry turrets (it just didn't make sense on such a limited lifespan of a subtower, when boosting the main tower itself applies the same benefits and much more) the icon no longer pops up to boost it, reducing clutter on screen when using the ability, and to make players more aware of what it is they will boost.
POWERS

• Thrive now gives 5x cash instead of 2x cash to incentivize players to use the lesser used powers in normal games
• Camo traps now offer a PERMANENT decamo on bloons that run over top it, instead of the previous 10 minute temporary decamo option.
• Time stop now ACTUALLY stops time as opposed to slowing it (in addition to automatically setting the game back to normal speed if you were in fast forward, and turning off automatic next rounds to give players more times to think and get sorted before beginning their next challenge.
• The white hot spike power is now reduced to 1 spike in the store, but the monkey money cost has been reduced to 10 (1MM per pop!)
• MOAB Mines now need to have camo detection in order to pop camoized DDT's. Or, decamo DDT's to allow moab Mines to work while camo-less!

BALANCE CHANGES
Dart Monkey
As the least used tower in BTD6 due to the inconvenience of use as well as the long cooldown, we wanted to give middle path super monkey a little more fire power in between ability uses

• x3x Dart Monkey attack speed increased 15%
• x4x Dart Monkey attack speed increased 25%
• x5x Dart Monkey increased by 50%
• x4x Dart Monkey offers a passive attack speed increase to all Dart Monkeys in range +15%
• x5x Dart Monkey offers a passive attack speed increase to all Dart monkeys in range +40%
• 250 Dart Monkey offers a passive Pierce boost to all Dart monkeys in range +2
• 052 Dart Monkey offers a passive range boost to all Dart monkeys in range +30% range
• x4x and x5x Dart Monkeys with a super monkey in range receive a passive +1 damage
• Plasma Monkey Fan Club Ability cool down 50s->45s

Boomerang Monkey
A fun, but necessary change...

• x3x boomerang attack speed increased .33 -> .26
• x4x attack speed increased .33 -> .20
• x4x Turbocharge ability now crits every 10th boomerang
• x5x Permacharge now crits every 5th boomerang
• MOAB press and MOAB Push names swap to be more fitting
• MOAB Press now correctly presses bosses

Glue Monkey
Glue has been seeing a lot more value as of late, however we feel it is still difficult to use in some situations. And top path glue feels extremely underwhelming late game.
Glue strike seems like the annoying little brother of glue storm.

• 100 now soaks moabs -> ceramics
• 300 cost decreased 2300 -> 2000
• 400 Bloon Liquifier attack speed .38 -> .30
• 500 Bloon Solver Puddles damage 20 -> 80
• 500 Bloon Solver bonus damage to BADS 0 -> 20
• x4x glue strike ability now re-coats bloons with the ability once per second for 3 seconds (instead of once instantly upon ability use)
• xx2 glue now slows MOABS by 5%
• 105 Super Glue now soaks through all moab and bloon layers

Bomb Shooter

• In order to prevent stalling, bloon crush damage increased +50
• 1xx bomb shooter +1 bonus ceramic damage
• 2xx bomb shooter +2 bonus ceramic damage
• 130 bomb shooter +1 bonus moab damage
• 230 +2 bonus moab damage
• x4x MOAB Assassin attack speed increased .45 -> .34
• x5x MOAB Eliminator attack speed increased .45 -> .28
• xx5 Bomb Blitz now activates when a bloon leaks without the need to sacrifice a life (life sacrifices still work)

Ice Monkey
Similar to the Mortar last year, the ice tower has been sitting in a bad spot for a while. It has been outclassed as everything around it has been marginally increased over time, expanding the barrier of the power ceiling and leaving the ice tower behind in its dust. The change we gave to the mortar monkey last year was an extremely popular one. So to compensate, we are giving the ice tower +1 additional damage to its base, and slicing its pierce in half, just like we did to the Mortar!

• Ice monkey switched to Magic Category
• Ninja monkey switched to Primary Category
• Due to popular demand, the Mortar has been restored to 1 damage and 40 Pierce.
• All Burn DoT's last 1 additional ticks in order to keep up with the scaling of general damage towers
• Laser shock now lasts an additional 3 ticks to keep up with the fast paced nature of the bloons in the higher rounds! (Check out the plasma accelerators shredding super cerams 80+)

Sniper Monkey
Sniper monkey has received many buffs and nerfs to their early game in order to rework the tower. However, despite our numerous changes, we still aren't happy with the towers cross paths late game. Because of this, we are updating Maim MOAB and Cripple MOAB to have the Stun and debuff stack, as opposed to refresh. This incentivizes players to focus on attack speed of the tower, which can spice the game up with more options, as well as give this tower more of a purpose in Co-op where multiple of the same 5th tier can be placed, as well as to incentivize players to focus more on multiple Maim MOABS as opposed to plopping one down and forgetting about it until there's disposable Cripple MOAB Money

• 000 Projectile lifespan decreased 850 -> 400
• 4xx MOAB Stun now stacks (carries over to 5th tier)
• Frag shots reverted to the original 360⁰ conical spray

Monkey Buccaneer

• The Destroyer boat has gained an additional Dart to aid its main attack as a better stepping stone, 4th tier an additional 2 darts (4 total) and the Flagship carrier has had its grapes replaced with darts for those who choose this cross path. This keeps the boat more in line with the paragon
• As per popular request, after the onslaught of buff nerf buffs this tower has received, Pirate lord has had its burning grapes replaced with Canon balls.

Submarine Monkey
Submarine had been fun, but deserves a slight rework to some upgrades

• 300 submerge and support submerge and unsubmerge cool down set to 2 seconds
• 300 Submerge and support submerging animation and effect delayed 0 -> 1 seconds
• 300 submerge and support submerged camo pings delay 0.8 seconds -> 1 second
• 050 Pre-emptive strike bonus damage to ceramics +3 -> +8
• 050 Pre-emptive strike pre-emptive missile damage to MOABs 1,000 -> 2,000
• x5x Pre-emptive strike now strikes 15% more pre-emptively
• 004 Armored Piercing Darts bonus damage to fortified bloons 1 -> 4
• 004 Armored Piercing Darts damage to MOABs 2 -> 3
• 004 Armored Piercing Darts attack cool down 0.28 -> 0.23
• Nautic Siege Core main attack projectile speed increased 30%
• Nautic Siege Core Paragon submerge no longer decreases hero attack speed
• Nautic Siege Core submerge damage increased x4
• Nautic Siege Core ability cooldown reduced 60%
• Nautic Siege Core final strike ability delay timer reduced 15s -> 8s

Heli Pilot
Heli pilot is cool and all, but I mean... come on!

• 000 Helipilot movement speed increased 5%
• 400 Helipilot movement speed increased 3%
• 500 Helipilot movement speed increased 2%
• Quad darts shoots an ADDITIONAL Quad darts (6) instead of a TOTAL of quad darts (4)

Dartling Gunner

• Ray of doom now correctly bounces off of walls to the projectile lifespan
• Ray of doom now dooms rayily

Wizard Monkey
The wizard monkeys guiding magic has been seeking for far too long, thus making wizard stand out far above every other seeking tower. Because of this, we are reducing the seeking by 40% and increasing the spread by 65%. Also, the price will increase to adjust the tower back to where it belongs.

• 100 Seeking projectiles cost 350->950
• 300 Arcane Mastery Attack Speed .42 -> .34
• 300 Arcane Mastery bonus damage to MOABs 0 -> 1

Ninja Monkey
Ninja is in a pretty balanced state, so let's shake that up a bit.

• Ninja monkey switched to Primary category
• xx1 seeking projectiles now seek 50% less
• xx1 seeking projectiles life span increased 30%
• xx4 sticky bombs flash bomb attack speed increased 15%
• 014 Sticky Bomb now slightly distracts MOABS (10 units) works up to ZOMGS

Alchemist
The alchemist has been far too strong for far too long, and is still being misused despite our valiant efforts to prevent cheese. The top path applies its Buff per attack, rather than per projectile, allowing towers such as sun avatars, or tack zone, or one of the best towers in the game, the sky shredder, to take advantage of free boosts to shine above the rest. This will no longer be the case, as the alchemist now only buffs a certain amount of projectiles as opposed to attacks. So, if you have a tack zone, 1/4th of the tacks shall be boosted in 1 attack before the alchemists boost expires.

• 200 Acidic Mixture Dip now applies similar to berserker brew, so it cannot be stacked, making multiple alchemists of the same purpose near one tower nearly useless
• 300 Berserker brew now applies to ALL towers (and heroes) including Beast Handler beasts and Benjamin's Drones and UCAV (independently of the base tower itself)
• 500 Permabrew buffing rate tripled

After the previous change of Garry's fire applying to towers themselves, we wanted to experiment with this new feature.
Berserker brew must now be applied onto sub towers to work on sub towers. This includes the heli-pilot rather than the helipad, the monkey ace instead of the ace pad, engineer sentry turrets now need an individual brew aside from the engineer (which can be brewed as normal) Geraldo's genies and hot sauce, Benjamin's drones and UCAV, and beast Handler beasts.

• Berserker brew now appropriately buffs Psi and Benjamin instead of a Buff that feels more like a waste

Alchemist has never been a tower meant to pop many bloons with its acid, similar to the beast handlers stick. However it doesn't feel right to not at least scale the already weak acid damage with higher upgrades to stand a small chance late game

• x3x base acid deals +2 damage before expiration
• x4x acid deals +5 damage before expiration and attacks 20% faster
• x5x acid deals +8 damage before expiration and attacks 50% faster
• 130 acid splash radius increased by 5 units
• 140 acid splash radius increased by 8 units
• 150 acid splash radius increased by 12 units
• 032 acid pools deal +5 damage and Pierce increased by 4
• 042 acid pools deal +10 damage and Pierce increased by 8
• 052 acid pools deal +15 damage and Pierce increased by 12
• xx4 rubber to gold alchemists do an additional 50 damage to lead bloons

After much deliberation, we have decided to make a long overdue change. Let us know what you think!
However, to even out this much needed QoL strategy (which already pairs nicely with the rubber to golding of moabs) the cost is increasing marginally

• xx5 bloon master alchemist now offers the correct amount of cash for transformed bloons (which already pairs well with the rubber to golding of MOABs) similar to Ezili's MOAB Hex granting the full cash for popped MOABS.
• xx5 alchemist cost 55,000 -> 65,000

Druid Monkey
In order to combat stalling strategies...

• Super storm druids lightning proc deals +10 damage per tick

The top path clearly rains superior for Druid of the jungle due to the granted lead detection over slightly higher range, so for this crosspath specifically, we want to offer a different bloon type as incentive to make a more difficult choice

• 032 druid now has camo detection

Super Monkey
This is the most requested change OF ALL TIME.... So we're listening to your feedback.

• 000 Super monkey 2500 -> 2000
• Super monkey laser blasts speed 0% increase -> 25% increase
• Plasma blasts remain unchanged
• 400 Temple inherits automatic camo detection, but not 500 (we didn't want it to be too busted...)
• 402 ultra vision now grants +5 bonus damage to camo bloons on all attacks, and a slight range boost to sacrifice attacks
• 003 Batarangs now Bounce up to 1 target

Spike Factory
When looking at spike factory, it's clear which upgrades are valued, and for what. Consider this a massive rework to balance out the towers, especially the bottom path.
Spike Storm has been extremely strong for a long time, so this should help level the tower out a bit...

• Spikes thrown from anywhere on the track -> anywhere on screen
• 001 Projectile size increased 10 units -> 14 units
• 001 range increased +10 units -> +25 units (same as Carpet of Spikes)
• 401 Explosion Radius increased 12 units -> 18 units (501 already has this explosion radius Buff, were just working backwards to apply it to all upgrades)
• 040 Spike Factory Spikes now deal -1 damage to ceramic bloons
• Spike factories automatically switch to smart targeting upon being upgraded to the smart targeting upgrade
• We were SO proud of our Engineer's smarter 4th tier sentry turret AI that we coded, that we copy and pasted the code onto the spike factory's smarter targeting upgrade, and are SO confident, we didn't even test what would happen! (Get the bug fix reports ready.)
• 003 long life spikes upgrade now absorbs the 4th tier, becoming it.
• 004 Spike Factory has been entirely redone. Newly named Semi-Perma spikes now have 5 dmg, -15% attack speed, 25 Pierce, and adopt the Perma spikes life span for the cost of 4,800$. (Consider this as building into the Perma spike better with a valuable 3rd and 4th tier, just as the other two spike factory paths have their own time to shine in a tremendous way)
• 005 Perma spikes now feature permanent spikes!
• 005 Perma spikes cost increased 32,000 -> 48,000

Engineer Monkey
Engineer's bloon trap is good for popping bloons in addition to money, but the preferred targeting cross path is obvious, so a QoL addition should change that to be slightly more difficult to choose between range of targeting, and trap refresh rate. In addition, bloon trap additional income does not offer much bonus for paragon degrees, so we are hard coding this tower to make farming degrees on the engineer more engineer-exclusive

• Trap targeting now granted on the x4x upgrade (similar to cleansing foam) range allows a larger radius to target the trap, and the 240 and 250 upgrade trap refresh rate remains unchanged
• 4x cash per Pop paragon formula updated for engineer -> 15x

Beast Handler
Beast Handler merging is by far the least desirable feature of the tower and desensitizes players from using the tower in general. Because of this, we are allowing a toggle to allow Smart Merging which automatically merge all beast handlers on screen
WE'VE HAD IT WITH THIS TOWER!!! Beast Handlers have been WAY too OP for WAY too long!!! We've heard all the complaints about beast Handler being OP, especially top path which can ONE SHOT BADS!!!! So we will appropriately scale him back GREATLY.

• Shark thrash damage reduced 6 -> 1
• Shark thrash speed reduced .38 -> .86
• Orca thrash damage reduced 10 -> 2
• Orca thrash speed reduced .42 -> .95
• Megalodon cost increased 46,000 -> 74,000
• Megalodon thrash radius decreased 50 units -> 15 units (same as Orca's)
• Megalodon can no longer bite BADs whatsoever
• All middle and bottom path upgrades are increasing in price by 20, 30, and 40% respectively.
• Beast Handler can no longer be buffed in any way WHATSOEVER
• Beast Handler can once again no longer be sacrificed to the temple
• Beast Handler has been removed from the game.

HEROES
Quincy
Quincy does extremely well in the early and late game, but falls off midgame, especially when he is needed most

• Storm of arrows cool down decreased 55s -> 45s
• Storm of arrows arrow spread now has 30% less RNG
• Storm of arrows arrows now have a 15% chance to crit
• Storm of arrows ability timer 2.4s -> 3s

Pat Fusty
Pat Fusty's Hug ability hasn't made sense for a long time, so hopefully this will remedy that problem

• Rather than bloons spawned from hugged MOABS being stunned, the Stun applies in an AoE radius around Pat once the hug is complete to every bloon in his hug radius
• The MOAB that was hugged no longer spawns children bloons
• Hug ability time increased 20s -> 30s
• Hugging MOABS and DDTs starts the cool down at 80% active, hugging BFBs starts the cool down at 60% active, hugging ZOMGs starts the ability at 0% cool down (similar to Gericho's Misdirection ability in Battles 2)

Psi
Psi feels a little under valued around the middle of the game, particularly when they are needed multiple rounds in a row

• Level 10 Psionic Scream 60s -> 45s
• Level 10 Psionic Scream now knocks back 50% of all MOAB class bloons, including DDTs (excluding BADs (duh!))
• Level 10 Psionic Scream now drops wall-of-fire-like Psionic ectoplasm from targets onto the track that can vibrate any bloon, and stuns MOAB Class
• Level 12 Psionic Pulse cool down 50s ->35s

Sauda
Sauda has immensely outclassed every other hero ever since her debut years ago. To bring her down to a reasonable level to scale with all other heroes such as Quincy, as well as for realism, Sauda now wields a single sword instead of dual wielding. People in real life don't wield two swords at once, because it is dangerous. So why would our beloved monkey friends? We here at ninja kiwi consider safety our #1 priority, and bloons is a kids game. So we want to send a positive message to any cosplayers out there, especially with how many fans are planning on dressing up as Sauda for Halloween. We wouldn't want anyone to slice themselves, nor their friends, like a Tomator. 📷 📷
Striker Jones
This change seemed to be pretty popular amongst the community, so we are hoping this will be well received.

• Striker Jones lvl 8 Pierce Buff to all towers increased by an additional 25% at lvl 16.

Admiral Brickell
Admiral Brickell is still not seeing use despite recent buffs

• Brickell's Mines blast radius increased 18 -> 25
• Level 9 Brickell Mine damage increased +1
• Brickell Mines now stay 1 additional round
• Brickell's mine ability now doubles mine deployment for the duration of the ability

Geraldo

• Gerry's fire set bloons on fire for a nice DOT, but has had its attack rate cut in half (let's be honest, this was needed)
• Individual items in Geraldo's shop can now have hotkeys set in the hotkey menu.
• Geraldo's road items have double Pierce and half the cost. However, they refresh at 1/3rd the rate, so it doesn't feel like a chore to place these now.
• Geraldo's Road Items can now be stacked with a single click similar to the BTD3 road spikes, instead of having to manually select each road spike like the BTD2 road spikes
• Geraldo's Totems now stack similar to Trade Empire Favor Trade Boats in an effort to scale the previously linear Totems to some degree with the exponentially increasing paragon levels, with each Totem placed gaining an additional 500 paragon power per totem

Fixed Coop's boringness
- Added a 10x speed toggle monkey knowledge to the Call to Arms village for those who wish to race through the game at an even faster rate!
Looking forward: Don't.

Quincy: any bloon that surpasses him on the track is instantly popped (bfbs and up are severely damaged)
Gwendolyn: level 3 ability halts EVERY bloon that touches it for a few seconds because well it's a wall of fire
Obyn: godboosts spirt of the forest
Striker Jones: level 3 ability onehits anything that isn't a bfb and up, onehits zomgs and ddts at 10, and onehits everything at 20
Corvus: casts spells on his own
Captain Churcill: can move around and ram into bloons, causing more damage the higher his level is
Benjamin: can hack the bloons' code, making them literally travel backwards. ddts damage anything they hit on their way there
Ezili: the curse has a 1 in 10 chance every second to cause the affected bloon to slip and get stunned
Pat Fusty: literally squashes bloons, stunning them
Adora: has infinite range (she's an actual goddess)
Admiral Brickell: also has infinite range (pistol only) and can also move around
Etienne: the drones basically have razor rotors
Sauda: Level 10 ability severely slows down whatever it doesn't pop (the bloons are trying to squeeze past the swords)
Psi: i honestly don't know
Geraldo: automatically has a full stock

Hello I'm looking for someone to play games, talk to, that is around my age and not toxic. You would need to be in NA for adequate ping and DM me a bit about you like age and when you're available. We can also stream our games or other stuff. I'm a very shy person but trying to overcome that and maybe introvert. I'm available during the evening most days. I'm into electronic music, medieval fantastic books, computers, anime, comedic movies and retro games.
I play lots of variety like:
FPS (Battlefield 4, Quake series, Unreal Tournament series, Demolition in CSGO, Team Fortress 2 and Garry's Mod) which is what I play most and not going competitive
Hack & Slash (Diablo series up to 3, Grim Dawn and Median XL singleplayer)
No specific genres (Rocket League, Bloons TD 6, A Hat in Time, Stardew Valley, Re-Volt, DDNet (TeeWorlds))
I'm not into strategy games, horror and not really interested to start playing mmos but the rest should be fine.
Some games I have that I'm fine playing:
Left 4 Dead 2
Portal 2
Terraria
Black Ops 3 Zombies
Minecraft
and maybe more that i'm missing.
I look forward to know you.

I had an idea for more gamemodes that would mean that you could play with friends, but not only against each other, or more than one friend at a time. They probably wouldn’t be in base ranked mode, but there could be separate arenas for 2v2 or 1v1v1v1.
1: 2v2/3v3/4v4 games:
There are 2 sides of the screen as usual, but each side is about 50-150% larger. Depending on settings, there would be a map split for you and your teammate/s, like in btd6 coop. If you’re in a private game, you can choose the map split. If you’re in a private game, you can choose what team you’re on, and the other ppl playing can choose their team. So that it doesn’t have the downsides of BTD6 coop, there would be a few changes. All eco is given a +75-150% base boost, but when the eco boost is given out, it’s divided between the players on the team. 75% of money made from bloon pops from the rubbelead to gold is split between the team, but the placer of the rubbelead to gold gets the other 25% on top of the split money. Banana farms are difficult to not be annoying. I was thinking that each team has a banana farmer down the bottom of the map that collects everything, and distributes it between the team, with an extra bit for the placer. Each person on each team can have a different hero and loadout, however, to keep it somewhat balanced, each player can only choose 2 towers. If one player surrenders, it asks the other players on that persons team whether they want to surrender, and if not all of them want to surrender, then the initializing player stays in the game, but is given a “surrender strike”. If they get to 3 strikes, they get kicked from the game for annoying their teammates. If a person leaves the game, all their money gets split between the remaining players left, and same with their towers. In order to coordinate between teammates, there would need to be a team only chat (in emotes, kinda like in btd6), and a public chat.
2: 1v1v1/1v1v1v1 games:
This game mode has the same fundamentals at 1v1s, except there’s more players. In 1v1v1, there are 3 maps, and 4 maps for 1v1v1v1. When you send bloons, they send at all players, but if you use a bloon boost, you can choose who you want to boost at, and all the bloons that were going to other players go to that one person instead of speeding them up. You have 2 bloons boosts per other player, and the normal 3 monkey boosts.
3: Private 3+ player matches:
If more game modes are implemented, you would need to be able to play them in private games. In private matches of 3+ players, if they're teamed games, you will be able to change: map size (-50-200% size increase), map split (same as btd6 map splits), eco base boost (-50-200% increase), alt eco money multiplier (-50-200% increase), alt eco money split (how much gets split between the team, and how much the placer gets), amount of towers each player can have (1-4), how many times a tower or hero can be selected per team or how many different towers/heroes can be selected per team, and size of teams (so that 5v1s can be possible).
4: Challenges:
These are heavily inspired by the BTD6 challenge editor. You can make and post challenges that other ppl can play. There can be challenges for any gamemode (including club events if you have club membership), and challenges can mix gamemodes (eg: 3v2v5 random painful bananza with -50% map size). You can change the speed of bloons, the attack speed of towers (multiplier), the health of ceramics/MOABS, the ability cooldown of towers, the attack speed buff from monkey boost, the bloon speed buff from bloon boost, the monkey boost cooldown/initial cooldown, the bloon boost cooldown/initial cooldown, tower price multiplier, eco from bloon send multiplier (or you can go through all the bloons and you're able to change it (eg: a challenge where all grouped eco is negative eco, and all spaced eco give the eco of their grouped counterpart)), bloon send speed multiplier (or you can go through all the bloons and you're able to change it (eg: a challenge where all grouped eco is really slow, and all spaced eco send as fast as their grouped counterpart)), eco tick timing (how fast eco gives you money).
5: Reporting:
Currently, the only way to report people is to put in a ticket to ninjakiwi, and I personally think that there has to be a better way to do it from the game itself. So if you see a hacker or team griefer ingame, you can click on a report button, and it adds it to a new "reports" tab in the home menu, where you can see your reports against other people, and reports people have done against you, along with a recording of the game from the server side point of view. In this tab you can view the status from something called ATLAS (Inspiration taken heavily from Hypixel in Minecraft), who will view the recording, and either mark as inconclusive evidence or evident without doubt, and if enough reports (say 3-5 unique people) from ATLAS on one player are evident without doubt, it will be forwarded to a nk representative to temp ban or perma ban that person either from the whole game (hacking) or from that gamemode (team griefing)
6: Texture packs:
Something I would love to see is texture packs for btdb2. There would be the base textures, but you would be able to make a texture pack which could either just change the textures of the monkeys, or change the textures and models. This could be really cool, and would open the door for more cosmetics (like purchasable with monkey money for high quality packs, which, yes, you could just make yourself, but it would be way more effort. You also cant distribute the bought packs). It could also bring another thing to the experience, so you can customise your own monkeys completely. There would be a menu in the game for uploading texture packs, or making your own from the game itself.
7: Balance change editor:
Last but not least, the Balance change editor. In this, you can have full control over everything, from making the 0-0-0 dart monkey stronger than a maxed TSG, to making funny hypersonic towers, you can make anything your heart desires. You can play private games with people who also have the same balance changes active, or it could just auto-apply them when the opponent joins. There would be no chance at all for this to be in any kind of ranked matches, but if you just want to test "What if", then it would be a very fun and cool tool.
So there are my suggestions for additions to the game that aren't super busted. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

TL;DR (spoilers): You, and anyone who wants to try the challenge with you if it's a multiplayer game, are a trans ally, and your job is to collect $25,000 or the equivalent thereof in in-game money (rounded up to the next smallest divisible part) for your transgender friend's transition in less than 31 in-game years. Everything is allowed. You do not have to finish the game.
Want a new and interesting way to play your favorite videogame? I got one with a transgender theme that is interesting, challenging, easy to implement, and compatible with almost any videogame, so it's a Mario challenge, a Pokémon challenge, a Minecraft challenge, and so on and so forth, all at the same time!

The Plot

You, and anyone who wants to try the challenge with you if it's a multiplayer game, are a trans ally, and your job is to collect money to pay for your transgender friend's transition. You win by acquiring enough in-game money. You are allowed to consult the internet, use passwords from the internet, commit in-game crimes, purchase microtransactions, abuse glitches, use cheat codes, and even hack the game to reach your goal, but is it really worth the effort? You are kinda expected to use the easiest way to win the challenge that you know of.

The Rules

Rule #1: You have to get the money you need for a transition. In order to make the challenge less boring for you, I did the research for you and came to the result of $25,000. However, this value might change if you try out this challenge in the far future, meaning that this challenge technically changes depending on when you attempt it. The value is expected to rise even further with inflation, or perhaps it might be reduced with the invention of more efficient surgery techniques. If the USA ever starts getting the universal healthcare system or a societal breakdown makes these surgeries impossible, this challenge will refer to the cost of the legal name & gender change, instead. And if that also ever becomes free then just choose a different country where it isn't free yet. But this is not going to change anytime soon (When do you think this challenge will become obsolete?) so, for now, you just have to remember to collect $25,000 in in-game money. This applies to every game that uses $ for in-game money. If the game uses £ or ¥ or € or any other real-world value, you'll have to convert it. Here's an online tool for converting currencies, which also supports various cryptocurrencies and custom rate dates. If the maximum amount of in-game money you can hold at once is less then the challenge is simply impossible. This only applies to non-videogame currencies.
Rule #2: If the in-game currency is fictional then you'll have to convert it (rounded up to the next smallest divisible part). It's easy if you can buy in-game money with real money, even if that feature doesn't work because of a glitch or something. Otherwise, you'll have to do some research. If you can't find any direct information on the internet, I would suggest starting here to get a basic idea on how to calculate that. If there are multiple in-game currencies you are allowed to split the price of the transition among them in any way you want, provided you know the value of all of them. If there is no in-game currency then you are allowed to use points instead. If the game doesn't have points either then you can try to invent a substitute currency but it has to be something that would actually work as a substitute currency in the world you're in. If that's not possible either then the only way for you to win this challenge is to raise real money by doing a let's play of the game. But then you'll have to actually pay for a real trans person's transition (yourself included) or donate the money to transgender-related causes to actually win the challenge. Here's a website that lets you donate for transgender causes. If the amount of in-game money you can hold at once is less or you were unable to find out how much you need then you are also allowed to simply collect the maximum possible amount instead because games will never ask you for more money than you can hold for a single product, meaning that this would have to be the in-game prize of a transition, as transitions are always for only a single person. This only applies to videogame currencies.
Rule #3: You do not need to finish the game. All you need to do to win this challenge is to get the money somehow. Please keep in mind that the exchange rate isn't constant. The exact amount you need to win the challenge has to be enough in the moment when you have the amount. You automatically win the challenge the moment this is the case.
Rule #4: You need to get the money in less than 31 in-game years. This number was calculated by subtracting the age at which children begin to have an innate sense of their own gender (4 years) from the average lifespan of a trans person (35 years). If the game has time-travelling elements, you are allowed to use those to extend the time limit. However, it only counts if this actually involves time itself and not just the timer. The same also goes the other way around: Travelling into the future or even moving in relativistic speeds will decrease the time limit. If the time limit runs out, I hope you have a way to return back to the past later!
Rule #5: If you can choose between multiple difficulty settings, you are allowed to choose the easiest one. In fact, you are expected to. Trans people are already on hard mode and the idea of being an ally is to specifically use the possibilities given to you to help those with fewer possibilities than you. If you have the option to select an easier difficulty setting which would make it easier for you to win this challenge, use it. Even if you're already used to playing on a higher difficulty mode. Not doing so would be considered bad strategy on your part. You are allowed to choose a higher difficulty setting, but please only do so if this actually gives you some advantages, like more rewards, more levels, or faster gameplay. This challenge gives you no bonus points for selecting a higher difficulty setting.
Rule #6: Emulation, and all tricks that come with it, are explicitly allowed. Doing so might be against the law but it is explicitly not against the rules of this challenge. The reason for this is because being transgender has been illegal for a long time and still is in many states, forcing many people to break the law in order to live their lives. The police have historically targeted trans and gender non-conforming folks. Stonewall was a riot against police brutality. I am not advocating for doing anything illegal. I am, however, saying that you should never use the law to argue for the morality of anything trans-related, as doing so would be disrespectful towards a huge part of transgender history. Therefore, this rule will remain in effect even if being transgender ever becomes legal worldwide.
In order to make the challenge even less boring for you, I have started researching loads of fictional currencies and how much money you would have to collect there for this challenge so you don't have to.

The values are not guaranteed to be accurate. In fact, I have found many cases of contradictory information on the internet. But you don't care about that anyway, do you? This isn't about the exact value anyway. These are all meant to be rough estimates to give you a sense of scale.

The Motivation

I was inspired by my Pokémon Trans Ally challenge that is about collecting money for a trans person's surgery. If you actually attempt this challenge you'll see that it'll usually be a very long and tedious challenge that will require a lot of experimentation, long-term planning, and doing the same things over and over again for a very long time, especially if you wanna try this as a speedrun. If the challenge bores you out, well, that is the point! The challenge is meant to give people with little or no sense of money an impression of how much money this really is! Now, you could argue that this challenge could theoretically be used to visualize any amount of money, and you would technically be correct, but I still think that a transgender transition is one of the best matches for this challenge because:

1. A transition is always only for one person. We aren't talking about a company buying another company or a country investing in more infrastructure. This is something within the realm of a single person so it makes sense to have this be a challenge for a single person or a small group.
2. This is not a luxury item like a famous painting or a private jet. Overwhelming scientific evidence proves that this is a medical necessity that trans people require in order to live like the majority of people. It is not something you want but something you need. So you can really say that acquiring all this money is really something that they have to go through. Therefore, unless you are transgender yourself, I would really recommend you to actually play the challenge until the end, even if it takes you years to actually do so. Not for your enjoyment but to acknowledge trans people's struggles and maybe also to protest against the gatekeeping system.
3. Unlike people who regularly need medications, the transgender transition is a once-in-a-lifetime thing and is therefore compatible with a challenge that you only play through once and then never again.
4. Once your transition is over, it cannot be taken from you.
5. It is not possible to request the costs to be paid for you if you can prove that you cannot afford it, meaning the only way to get it is to actually get the money.
6. Being trans is not an illness or a disability. Trans people never did anything wrong, neither deliberately nor accidentally. They are simply born with a condition that requires them to get the money. Trans people are therefore as guilt-free as a typical videogame hero.

Do you know anything more expensive that fulfills all those criteria?

The Fun Facts

• If you collect 1,000,000 coins in Super Mario Bros. 2, you win a golden Mario statue. This is actually more money than required for the trans ally challenge!
• If payment by installments were supported by this challenge then the most cumbersome game to do this challenge in would be The Binding of Isaac, because that would require you to send at least 25,253 installments. You would have to max out your money counter every 10¾ hours on average.
• You immediately win the challenge if you try it on a game where the money you start with is already high enough. For example, in the game The Roll Ahead, you play as either Bill Gates or Steve Jobs and you start out with 35 Billion.
• In the game Anti-Monopoly, you win by losing your money. However, if you try this challenge in this game, you'll still have to gain money. This is kinda the opposite of a coinless challenge because where a coinless challenge makes positive money negative, this challenge makes negative money positive.
• Characters like the monk from Crypt of the NecroDancer, Entity from depict1, and Default Dan from Default Dan die upon touching money. Kinda makes you think, doesn't it?
• The purple coins in the Super Mario Galaxy series, the Butz in Kappa Mikey, the Glotkies in Taxi, the coins in Syobon Action, and the Rasbukniks in Li'l Abner are worth nothing.
• If World of Anime Babes was a real game then this challenge would require 1,250,000,000 tokens. As the narrator said: "Big numbers are better, right?" One way to get this money would be by selling like 1,000 in-game outfits.
• If you are playing a game taking place in the medieval time, the challenge would require you to get 411¼ medieval pennies.
• If you wanna make the monetary values more immersive, you can look at how they are depicted in the menu of microtransactions. For example, Clash of Clans groups predefined values of gems into bags, sacks, boxes, and chests that therefore represent specific amounts of gems and could therefore be regarded as higher currency units. For example, 2,500,000 gems fit into 179 chests. Sure, this won't help you with strategizing, but it will certainly make it more interesting for your audience!
• According to this article, this challenge would require you to get 129,058,751 Simeons. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to determine which franchise Simeons are from.
• The Ztars from Mario Party and the Rupoors from The Legend of Zelda are currencies that actually take money away from you, making their exchange rates negative!
• If Terrance & Phillip: Give Us Your Money was a real game then this challenge would require 10,204,200 Canadian Coins. This value was calculated under the assumption that everyone would realize that the cheapest deal is actually the best deal. One way to get this money would be by not playing the game 2,041 times. Oh good, you're already on it. But will you make it within the time limit?
• The values of LEGO Studs were calculated using the value of a human life. If you applied this logic to every game with currency units that are worth ¹⁄₁₀₀ life each then a single one of those currency units would already be enough to win this challenge and if you applied this logic to every game where 10,000 points give you an extra life then this challenge would require you to earn 32 points, but only if there isn't already an in-game currency.
• The fictional currency with the highest inflation rate I could find was in Elbonia, the rate being 1,000,000,000% daily. Despite the high time limit, I would recommend you to hurry with getting enough money there if you even can.
• The average age at the time the RTS Rise of Nations takes place in was roughly 31 years, which would reduce this challenge's time limit to 27 in-game years at most. Which would be about 2.08 real-time seconds according to estimations made by PeanutButterGamer, according to which the time limit for Diablo would be 6 in-game years and the challenge would be impossible for SimAnt.
• For obvious reasons, a society can only survive if its maximum lifespan is at least the minimum age of fertility. Due to precocious puberty, the world records for the youngest biological parents are 9 years for microgametic parents and 5 years and 7 months for macrogametic parents, meaning that the maximum lifespan of any human society must always be at least 9 years. Since 9 years are more than 4 years, it therefore follows that transgender healthcare benefits all possible human societies. Remember this if you ever attempt this challenge on a game that takes place in a society where these values are different for whatever reason, like a society of anthropomorphic animals for example.
• If the average lifespan was less than 4 years then the average lifespan of a trans person would actually be higher than the average lifespan as a whole. This is because trans people who die before the age of 4 would not be included in the statistic, due to being undetectable. If that happens, you'll have to recalculate what the statistic would be.
• Transgender surgery is older than the discovery of Pluto, modern toilet paper, chicken tikka masala, duct tape, ballpoint pens, ciabatta bread, Velcro, and Tupperware.
• The Wumpa Fruit from Crash Bandicoot are also a form of currency, as was revealed in some games. A Wumpa Fruit is worth exactly the same as a piece of gold in Skylanders. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find out what either of those are worth.
• The most valuable fictional currency that I could find was the Aqua from High Frontier 4 All, which is estimated to be a three-digit million $ amount.
• Team Kirby Clash Deluxe and Super Kirby Clash value Gem Apples differently. I based their value on Super Kirby Clash because Team Kirby Crash Deluxe only lets you purchase a maximum of 3,000 Gem Apples, meaning that Super Kirby Clash would be more practical for purchases over $29.85. Noone would accept a payment of 838 installments if a more practical way of payment is possible.
• This challenge would require 2,500,000 Nuggets in the game PokéHeroes but I didn't add it to the list because it's a fangame and I didn't wanna confuse.

/uj If you donate gold in Gaia Online, the company will donate money to charity. I find this mechanic to be a really good idea and I would like to see it more often because it enables players to support the less fortunate without having to donate their own money. Just imagine if every game on this list gave you the option to donate $25,000 worth of in-game money which would then be donated to transgender causes and unlock the Trans Ally achievement! I know it would be very cumbersome to unlock, but completionists would definitely go for it and also, it would be done for a good cause!

Introduction: Greetings, fellow Bloons Tower Defense Battles 2 players, otherwise known as “Bloonians!” Today, I'd like to address a topic that has sparked much debate and controversy within our community, especially by professional players such as speedyboiii69. It's time to discuss the need for the removal of the COBRA hero from the game. While this powerful and admittingly attractive hero may have its proponents, I firmly believe that its presence undermines the fairness and balance of the gameplay. Join me as I present a convincing case for why COBRA needs to be removed from our semi-beloved game.

1. Unmatched Versatility: COBRA is infamous for its unparalleled versatility, which allows players to adopt various strategies and adapt to almost any situation. It possesses an astonishing array of abilities, including income generation, seduction, bloon sabotage, emotional damage and manipulation, and powerful attack boosts. This versatility grants COBRA users an unfair advantage, making it difficult for opponents to counter or devise a well-rounded strategy. Removing COBRA would level the playing field and encourage players to explore other towers and strategies. While some players declare this a “skill issue”, they fail to recognize the problem they are prolonging, and as such should revise their inconspicuous mindset.
   
2. Overpowered Income Generation: One of the most significant issues with COBRA is its income generation capabilities and the ability to make their opponents “cope and seethe” with their decreased income generation. COBRA users can effortlessly gain income through multiple means, giving them a significant advantage in terms of purchasing towers, women, and upgrades. This not only disrupts the balance of the game but also promotes a "rich get richer" scenario, wherein COBRA users snowball their advantages to dominate opponents. Removing COBRA would help restore fairness and encourage players to rely on bugs and hacking rather than excessive income generation and skill.
   
3. Disruptive Bloon Sabotage Abilities: COBRA's bloon sabotage abilities are notorious for causing chaos on the battlefield, otherwise known as “blooning all over the place” by professional players. With its ability to send camo bloons, sabotage opponents' towers, and even summon powerful boss bloons with the ability “It’s Blooning Time”, COBRA has the potential to create havoc and significantly hinder opponents' progress. These abilities not only disrupt the flow of the game but also make it frustrating and unfair for those on the receiving end, especially for players with in the lower arenas such as Hall of Masters, unintentionally harming lower skilled players. Removing COBRA would restore a sense of fairness, where victory is determined by skillful tower placements, abusing tower bugs, and well-executed strategies rather than disruptive abilities.
   
4. Imbalanced Attack Boosts: COBRA's attack boosts provide an unjust advantage to its users, significantly enhancing the power of their towers. This imbalance is most notable in the context of COBRA battles, where players are pressed surprisingly intimately against each other. The attack boosts provided by COBRA can turn the tide of battle and render opponents' defenses ineffective. This severely limits the strategic diversity of the game and diminishes the enjoyment of players who prefer alternative towers, such as the Garlic Monkey and Beekeeper. By removing COBRA, the game can regain a healthier balance, fostering a more engaging and varied gameplay experience, especially with underutilized towers such as Bloonchipper, Dartling Gunner, and the previously mentioned Garlic Monkey.
   

Conclusion: While COBRA may have its proponents, it is essential to consider the negative impact it has on the balance and fairness of Bloons Tower Defense Battles 2. Its unmatched versatility, emotional damage, overpowered income generation, disruptive bloon sabotage abilities, general swag, and imbalanced attack boosts create an environment that stifles strategic diversity and undermines the skillful gameplay that the community thrives upon, especially to 6 year old children. Removing COBRA would restore balance, encourage players to explore other towers and strategies, and ensure a more enjoyable and fair experience for all. It's time to bid farewell to COBRA and embrace a more balanced and exciting game, such as with the Dartling Sniper Ninja strategy that has made the game so beloved and successful.

I was considering making a post like this then Ninjakiwi confirmed that they're adding an alt to an already existing hero soooo yeah this is absolutely happening. There IS the chance that they add Battles 2 original skins which would be hype but I'm just gonna go with what we know.
Keep in mind that I'm going to avoid specific stats because I'm not a balancer. Not that ideas as a whole cannot be unbalanced, of course, so feel free to list your concerns civilly, but I tried to make things general enough for that to be less of a problem.
Wolfpack Quincy: Since he's wolfPACK Quincy, it makes sense that his specific niche has to do with a number of towers that he buffs. I dare not take default Obyn's niche of buffing Druids a lot so Wolfpack Quincy should probably just focus on Crossbow+ Dart Monkeys. I suppose that Monkey Village and a potential later addition of Beast Handler also somewhat suit his theme, but ehh?
His Rapid Shot ability could be a good bit weaker but buff nearby Dart Monkeys that are upgraded to Crossbow or higher.
Instead of every third shot exploding, Wolfpack Quincy could occasionally (though with a specific amount of shots I'm just not sure if it'd be every third or if it'd be more) shoot a critical hit, doing extra damage to each Bloon that the target hits. This alone gives him a niche outside of just buffing Dart Monkeys since he also has much more MOAB Damage than the other Quincies, in exchange for less grouped popping power and also later lead popping (At one of the levels that upgrades the exploding shots for the other Quincies the critical hits of Wolfpack Quincy would be given Normal damage).
Finally, Storm of Arrows would be generally weaker but increased in power and/or duration by Crossbow Monkeys on the screen, with a much weaker buff from any tower that has sharp type projectiles and is third tier or higher (Will still be weaker than the other Quincys' Storms of Arrows, though). For an example of how this system could work, BUT NOT AN OFFICIAL DECLARATION THAT IT SHOULD BE EXACTLY LIKE THIS BECAUSE THIS INVOLVES PARTICULAR STATISTICS EXCLUSIVELY FOR PURPOSE OF AN EASY EXAMPLE, Up to 10 Crossbow Monkeys (x-x-3) can increase the duration by 0.1 seconds each, up to 10 Sharpshooters increase it by 0.2 seconds each, and up to 2 Crossbow Masters (Level 20 Wolfpack Quincy would mimic the Double Master Cross Monkey Knowledge because that's cool and more interesting than giving him a simple power-up to his Storm of Arrows considering the gimmick involved) increase it by 1 second each. Though of course there would probably be different buffs applied than just duration. As for the sharp damage buff, it takes the same slots as the Crossbow Monkeys (So if you have 3 Crossbow Monkeys and 10 Triple Shot Dart Monkeys you're getting 3 Crossbow buffs and 3 Sharp buffs) but only increases duration by 0.05 seconds each. BUT AGAIN THE STATISTICS ARE NOT TO BE TRIED AS BALANCED OR UNBALANCED THEY ARE PURELY FOR NUMERICAL EXAMPLE.
Harlegwen: She's a tricky clown with pyromaniacal gadgets! As such, her focus is on something that is unchanged between Gwendolin and Science Gwendolin, being the supportive buffs to Ring of Fire, Signal Flare, and Dragon's Breath.
Her base attack fires slightly slower.
For her Level 3 ability, she has one Cooktail that she throws at the nearest part of the track to her and one Cooktail that she throws at a designated target. The targeted one doesn't fizzle out when it comes in contact with purples and, while it cannot pop them itself, will weaken their resistance to attacks (Similar to Striker's & Biker's ability, but possibly a bit stronger overall since it is limited to an ability's cooldown). It has low pierce but it lasts a little bit longer than Scientist Gwendolin's. The untargeted Cooktail will be destroyed by Purple Bloons that are not debuffed but it also does not pop debuffed Purple Bloons at all. It is as low in pierce as Gwendolin's ability but as low in duration as Sgwendolin's ability. It has an increased cooldown in comparison to the other Gwens.
Heat It Up has increased range and decreased duration but the duration is unchanged from standard Gwendolin for the towers that will be buffed at Level 5
Level 5 buff gives higher attack speed and radius but does not give Harlegwen a pierce buff
Level 6 burn is replaced with a blow-back effect that occurs on specific shots of Harlegwen's attacks (Every third shot or fourth shot or whatever is most balanced)
Firestorm is drastically decreased in power but the Heat It Up buff that is applied to the special fire towers is slightly increased and all Purple Bloons, while not taking damage from energy attacks, also do not nullify them (Good for if an opponent is defending a MOAB with Purple Bloons)
Level 14 is replaced with Harlegwen getting the Burn effect.
Level 17 causes Heat It Up to give Purple Popping Power.
The double cooktail thing might be a bit unbalanced since it's kind of two ideas in one, might be better as just one cooktail that gives purple de-resistance or as two cooktails with different purposes. The idea with having both is supposed to be that the one that debuffs Purple Bloons is better behind the one that is fizzled out by Purple Bloons but as a result you're giving up Purple defense.
Mountain Obyn: Kind of an oddball, I think his aggressive nature would do well with making him a more offense-based version of the support-based Obyns. Also, he's the mountain guy, so any special buffs of his can go to the towers that can fly as high as the mountains.
Level 2 Mountain's Wrath gives +1 pierce to Druids and Air-based towers (Things that stay up when the elevator on Bot Factory goes down).
Level 3 Brambles do more damage and can pop Lead Bloons but have very few thorns and an increased cooldown.
Level 4 Totem increases damage dealt by 1 to one out of X non-MOAB Class Bloons, indicated by jagged rocks in the Bloon (similar to Sushi Bento's Bloon Trojan but gray), it gains MOAB debuffing at a later level.
Level 5 increased attack speed is greater
Level 6 increased pierce is greater
Level 9 increased attack power is greater
Level 10 Wall of Rock has an increased capacity but instead of exploding into Bananas it unleashes a giant fiery explosion (Comparable to a single shot from a 5-0-2 Mortar Monkey but it gets stronger on levels that enhance Obyn Greenfoot's Wall of Trees.
Level 11 buff gives +1 damage and +2 pierce to all recipitents of the Level 2 buff
other stat increases to obyn himself are greater lol
Octojones: I think the idea here is pretty simple. Instead of buffing the Mortar Monkey, who doesn't suit Octojones thematically, Octojones buffs the x-3+-x Buccaneer. Since this is only one upgrade path Octojones will generally have more power to make up for it. Also, just like Ocyn, Octojones is Amphibious.
Level 3 Concussive Shell stuns Bloons for less long but stuns Ceramic & MOAB-Class Bloons for longer
Level 4 buff applies to Monkey Buccaneers that are upgraded to x-3+-x instead of Mortar Monkeys, and also makes the Cannon Ship upgrade cheaper.
Level 6 gives Octojones Hot Shots instead of a stat buff.
Level 7 buff makes Cannon Ship and Monkey Pirates cheaper and also decreases Monkey Pirates and Pirate Lord cooldown
Level 8 buff also gives all x-3+-x Monkey Buccaneers +5% Range
Level 9 does not give speed buff, but Level 11, alongside its standard speed buff, makes the Hot Shots also have the effect of Double Shot
Level 10 ability temporarily gives increased sellback to Bomb Shooters and Monkey Buccaneers and slows down MOAB-Class Bloons (The increased sellback would be a significant amount but either wouldn't stack with Favoured Trades or would stack with it and their buffs together would not quite cause 100% sellback since that's too good)
Level 14 causes three Concussive Shells to fire. One at the first MOAB, one at the last MOAB, and one at the strongest MOAB including amount of health.
There might be more that needs to be done to make him worth it but this seems good.
Sleigh Churchill: Considering his holiday-themed nature, it makes sense that he play a more supportive role.
He would probably have some base stat debuffed, similar to how Sentai Churchill has less pierce but probably something different. Attack speed, maybe?
Level 3 ability does not buff Sleigh Churchill but gives his bomb attacks the ability to freeze Bloons for a short time. This does not affect MOAB-Class Bloons until a later level.
Level 7 makes Sleigh Churchill give a slight discount to tier 2 or less upgrades nearby him instead of its usual effect.
Level 8 gives Sleigh Churchill his +1 damage that would usually be on Level 7.
Level 10 MOAB Barrage is much, much weaker but applies a damage debuff to Bloons that it hits. (Something like +1 or +2, maybe more)
Level 13 allows Armour Piercing Shots freezing to affect MOAB-Class Bloons and last longer
Level 14, instead of its usual effect, applies an extra discount to all Monkey upgrades tier 2 and below and also discounts nearby Third-Tier Upgrades (Those within Sleigh Churchill's range, which to be fair is large anyway)
Level 15 increases damage instead of fortified damage
Level 16 causes Sleigh Churchill to give 12 lives every round instead of its usual effect (12 in reference to December and also the 12 days of Christmas
Level 20 increases the debuff from MOAB Barrage
Sushi Bento: He makes less money and his Level 3 ability costs you money to use for a greater power but instead of buffing Banks he buffs Marketplaces+ and Merchantmen+. Or just Merchantmen because I don't like farms but that's bias :). Also he has that sort of dangerous warrior guy who is also a sushi chef vibe so he naturally detects Camo Bloons but his Pufferfish cannot affect Lead Bloons until Level 18. Totally matters.
Base cash generation is probably comparable to Ben Jammin but more or less, maybe the same?
Level 3 Biohack gives +1 damage and an attack speed buff to 5 or more (depending on balancing) nearby monkeys but costs $50 per monkey (so it cannot be used with less than $50 it will be blacked out) and you cannot prevent him from costing you as much money as he can depending on how many towers you have (though of course certain towers won't be affected). It does not, however, cause Monkeys to stop attacking because they do not over-eat.
Level 5 Bank Hack earns 4% more income for Marketplace+ and increases their sellback by 5%
Level 6 Cyber Security heals 7 lives per round
Level 7 Pufferfish is a pufferfish :) and can hit Camo Bloons but not Lead Bloons
Level 9 instead increases Merchantman+ cash generation by 10% (This upgrade is late because Merchantman already makes a lot of monkey early-game)
Level 10 ability turns up to 15 MOAB-Class Bloons into double their ceramic insides, but 15 is including different layers twice (So ZOMG counts as 5, BFB counts as 3, MOAB and DDT count as one, it obviously won't work on a BAD lol, actually DDT and ZOMG aren't affected at Level 10 either to be fair)
Level 13 ability can affect much more monkeys
Level 14 Cyber Security heals 15 lives per round and can go 150 over starting lives
Level 19 is free to use and more powerful
Galaxili: Given her grandiose nature and main-character syndrome she's much better at popping Bloons on her own.
Her base attack speed is faster and upgrades to her own stats tend to be stronger throughout the leveling process
Level 3 Heartstopper drastically increases Galaxili's attack speed and lets her pop Purple Bloons
Level 5 Slap has less pierce and happens less often but more knockback. (Cannot perma-stall a MOAB is what I'm hoping for)
Level 7 Sacrificial Totem buffs herself more-so just like Smudge Catt Ezili's current totem, but costs 15 lives while being stronger for herself (but just as strong for other towers). (This may seem a bit redundant but I'm just assuming that Beast Handler will EVENTUALLY come to the game and Smudge Catt Ezili will have special synergy with them instead of herself)
Level 10 MOAB Hex lasts longer while doing damage less rapidly but Galaxili does drastic damage to affected MOABs.
Level 11 Necromancer buff is replaced with Galaxili gaining a secondary attack that is similar to Arcane Spike and Dragon's Breath.
Level 12 Heartstopper lets Galaxili de-lead Bloons
Level 16 Sacrifical Totem costs 5 lives to use
Kaiju Pat: More ferocious than Pat Fusty, he is effectively a late-game alternative who is less good early-game and at support. He's much better at handling one big Bloon than several smaller threats
-1-ish Pierce overall
Level 3 Rallying Roar gives a slight attack speed buff instead of +1 damage
Level 6 gives +1 damage, +2 ceramic damage, and +3 MOAB damage instead of stun
Level 7 does not give bonus ceramic damage
Level 10 does more damage (MOAB -> Nothing, BFB -> Ceramics, ZOMG -> Partially damaged BFBs, DDT -> Nothing) and has a slightly decreased cooldown but takes longer to activate and has no stunning
Level 13 does not get increased Bloon Stun duration but stuns MOAB-Class Bloons for slightly longer than Pat Fusty
Level 14 Rallying Roar gives much more attack speed and +2-ish damage
Level 15 Slap has the same pierce as Pat Fusty's Level 15 Slap
Level 20 Big Squeeze allows Kaiju Fusty to slam up to 2 held Bloons into other Bloons for extra powerful attacks that get stronger with bigger MOAB-Class Bloons that also take damage from being slammed into free Bloons and then take more damage than they usually would (BFBs now turn into nothing for example) (Basically he can attack while using Big Squeeze)
??? Jericho: Well, we don't know his skin do we? COBRA from BTD5 doesn't even really have a skin to work with. Well, the classic COBRA upgrades that aren't represented in Jericho currently, not including Wired Funds since that's similar to Level 3 and Benjamin's basic ability, are Monkey Stim, Finish Him, Offensive Push, and Attrition. I can kinda see why they're all not represented but as Benjamin once said, let's see what we can do here. I COULD just make original things buuut that's kind of a shot in the dark given the lack of cosmetics to work with. This of course does not have a theme based off of a cosmetic theme since it could really be anything. Though based off of the remaining abilities he might have some sort of time-based theming? Maybe like, Matrix Jericho? Is the Matrix even time-related or is it just that one slow-mo scene? Dude I haven't watched the Matrix but I really should I heard it's a trans allegory which is epic like when is it coming to Disney+
Level 3: Attrition takes twice as much money as the opponent has lives from the opponent, and it also steals 2 lives but cannot kill the opponent (Druid counterplay is obvious...) If the opponent doesn't have enough money, they will be charged in lives ($10 = 1 life) but still cannot be killed, and instead will gain debt as if they took an IMF Loan. To avoid redundancy and balancing, just know that Attrition continues to take an amount of cash away from the opponent that would be slightly more than the other Jerichos as long as the opponent has max lives.
Level 4: Tower Boost cooldown is 3-ish seconds shorter (Goes down with other levels that affect Bloon Adjustment frequency except 13)
Level 8: Bloon Boost cooldown is 5-ish seconds shorter (Goes down with other levels that affect Bloon Adjustment frequency except 13)
Level 10 Offensive Push: Using this ability will not reveal anything to the opponent until you send your next Bloon, who will be indicated by the menu to be upgraded by one tier but be much more expensive (Double? Triple?) and in the case of MOAB-Class Bloons (The only ones you're realistically sending) hurt your eco even harder. The cooldown of this ability will not go down until you send a Bloon. Also allows later modifiers if you somehow get Jericho to Level 10 early enough to not have all the modifiers. If used on a BAD, they will swiftly fly through part of the track, maybe like, half or at third? They'll go further at certain levels.
Level 13: The same as the other Jerichos, but this introduces natural enhancement as a whole
Level 17: Offensive Push Bloons cost less.
​
Whaddaya think? I anticipate some controversy, just please don't make it about me saying that tower boost is 3-ish seconds shorter and that's too much or too little or something if I provided a stat it was a spitball to give an idea not a definitive "Yes this is balanced and good and stuff :)". =)

Gamer monkey Subtitle: So pro he games bloons to death!
Top path will lead for a more damage type Top path tier one: plays call of monkey, a shooter, gamer monkey hacks the game and gives himself a pistol, shooting 3x a shot. Tier 2: now hacks an ak 47 into the palms of a gamer monkey, knowing easily how to handle it. Tier 3: hacks a grenade with the ak and kills the bloons with rapid speed. Tier 4: casually hacks a fricken rpg, no big deal, does 70 damage a shot btw. Tier 5: By the power of games, he spawns in soldiers for call of monkeys and some will have an ak and some, grenades, rare chance too spawn a bazooka monkey. Gaming ability: calls 3 tanks and an extra for him to demolish bloons with 500 dmg
I shall be gone but I will later release path 2!

I love indie games and unique games that use the medium in interesting ways. These are a few that I've played and I'd love to hear other suggestions and games I haven't heard of, but at the very least I hope some people could find a few unique gems from my list!
​
Baba Is You - Absolutely love this game, it's gotten pretty big but it's a super cute puzzle game about manipulating the game's logic and rules, one of the best puzzle games hands down.
Disco Elysium - Great CRPG that makes the setting and characters feel really alive, very text heavy and political, but it's really well written and a unique spin on many traditional CRPGs.
Exapunks - I love Zachtronics and Exapunks is my favourite game from them, it's a puzzle programming game in a cyberpunk-esque world where you need to hack into systems and complete missions; the catch is, you need to learn how to program using a provided magazine, their other games do similar things but I enjoyed this one the most.
Other Zachtronics Games - Last Call BBS, Opus Magnum, Infinfactory, Molek-Syntez, Shenzhen I/O, Spacechem, TIS-100. Exapunks and Opus Magnum are the most beginner friendly imo.
Patrick's Parabox - A mind bending puzzle game that's all about recursion, very similar itch to Baba so if you enjoyed one, would recommend the other a tonne.
Hypnospace Outlaw - An alt 90s world where you can access the internet while you sleep, the entire story is told through browsing a fake operating system and internet as it tells a very interesting and fun story. Lots of vaporwave vibes and overall a fantastic game.
Katamari - Admittedly they did milk the series and it's not quite as obscure, but I think the original idea is still really unique. You need to roll up objects into a ball (called the katamari) as you progressively get bigger and are able to pick up bigger objects. It's not particularly challenging, or requires as much thought as the rest, but I think regardless it's a really unique and crazy time.
9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors - Originally a DS game, and if you can, would still recommend the DS version/emulated over the modern ports. But it's a very well written point and click/escape room puzzle game that is being told in first and third person at the same time through the different screens. The sequels are disappointing in my opinion but 999 is amazing.
Mindustry - Tower defense automation game, somewhere between Factorio and Bloons TD, lots of fun, has really good multiplayer and it's also fully open source. If you enjoy automation games then I'd definitely recommend it.
Similar - Other similar automation games that I've enjoyed are Factorio and Dyson Sphere Program
Stacklands - A card battler, city sim management game, you craft items by combining cards, have your villagers tend to things to get resources and money, it's very unique and very fun.
Sokpop - I haven't played many of their other games but they are indie devs that used to release one unique game once a month, they are now changing things a little bit, but they have a huge catalogue of unique 2-3$ games and more incoming.
Astroneer - Super fun exploration base building game with the entire UI being integrated into the models and environment, it's a lot of fun with friends and the environments are super colourful and pretty.
Rift Wizard - Old school roguelike where you cast spells and fight monsters on a grid, it has a lot of well thought out spells allowing for a lot of combos and unique builds. I've particularly enjoyed playing it with a friend as we were able to think of builds and strategise together, and race each other.
​
And there are a lot of other games I've played and really love but didn't feel as if they were groundbreaking enough to deserve to be on this list. But I have a strong-ish PC, a Steam Deck, PCVR, Switch and access to a decent amount of consoles or at least the ability to emulate them so hardware isn't a limitation when suggesting.

I hope you found something new here that you may enjoy and I'm looking forward to seeing other's recommendations!
