A pretty good update for Bloons TD Battles 2 is here. Update 1.2 features the new hero Benjamin. Several new features have also been added, including the ability to send Emotes to your opponent in the lobby after the game is over.
New Hero
Benjamin is a hero that uses his hacking abilities to help you in battle. He has a Hero Alt called DJ Benjammin’ as well. Hero Alts act as a sidegrade of the original hero and come with different upgrades that cater to a different playstyle.
That said, DJ Benjammin’ is great if you want more on-demand support and improved Biohack. For example, he gains the Deep Down ability at Level 10, which instantly downgrades all bloons on the screen (up to the Brutal Floating Behemoth or BFB) when activated.
The normal version is best if you want more income generation. His Level 5 upgrade, for instance, gives all banks an additional 5% income.
It is worth noting that Benjamin cannot attack directly until Level 7, so be sure to beef up your defenses until he can stand up on his own.
