Bloons TD Battles 2, a fun tower defense game developed by Ninja Kiwi, has received a new patch recently. Update 1.7.2 adds a new feature that allows you to support your favorite BTD2 content creators.
If you are interested, head over to the in-game shop by pressing the “Shop” icon at the bottom left of the main menu. Once you’re inside, you can find a new button at the bottom right of the screen that says “Creator Support.” When you click on it, you are prompted to type in your favorite content creator’s unique code.
After that, any premium stuff you’ve purchased from the Shop will support both Ninja Kiwi and your content creator of choice.
But that is not the only thing that Update 1.7.2 brings. It implements some balancing adjustments as well. Bloon Sends can help you generate more income depending on which type of bloons you send to the opposing player.
Having said that, you'll be pleased to learn that the Grouped Purples now generate an income of $2.9 instead of the previous $2.7. This might seem insignificant on paper, but it is actually a pretty substantial change, especially in the late game.
The Ice Monkey is a popular tower in Bloons TD Battles 2 because of its ability to slow down enemy bloons, in addition to damaging them in more ways than one. This tower, unfortunately, got a considerable nerf to the Ice Shards upgrade; and no, the effect is still the same. However, the cost of this upgrade has increased by $250, which will set you back a little bit in terms of your progression as the match goes on.
Here are the other balancing adjustments:
- Camo modifier cost reduced: x2.2 > x2
- Grouped pinks: income reduced 2.4 > 2.3
- Grouped purples: income increased 2.7 > 2.9
- Spaced zebras: income reduced 3 > 2.8
- Spaced rainbows: income reduced 4 > 3.8
- Spaced and grouped BFB: $2,100> $1,800
- 4xx Juggernaut: now deals 3x damage to leads/DDTs
- 5xx Ultra-Juggernaut: now deals 6x damage to leads/DDTs
- The Juggernaut will now deal the same damage to leads and DDTs as it deals to ceramics. This should make the Juggernaut much more useful against DDTs, so it has another use than just for ceramics.
- xx4 Rubber to Gold: attack cooldown reduced 5 seconds > 3.8 seconds
- xx4 Bloon Trap: Sent bloons captured by the trap are now worth $0 per RBE (formerly $1).
- xx4 Bloon Trap: Natural bloons captured by the trap are now worth $1.5 per RBE (formerly $1).
- xx4 Bloon Trap: Trap capacity remains the same (500 RBE).
- xx5 XXL Trap: Changes from the xx4 upgrade apply to the XXL Trap too. Sent and Natural bloons captured are worth $0 and $0.75 respectively (formerly $0.5 each). XXL Trap capacity remains the same (10,000 RBE).
So, what can you say about the adjustments? Will you support any Bloons TD Battles 2 content creator using the new feature?
