When i started playing there were some decks explained here on Reddit, but sadly these days there are not that many. I know some players left, there were some lame shilling attempts, a lot of pressure on some decks/cards and so on.
So, now that Band of the Wolf is locked and lately there were so many post about how it's hard to play against people in higher ranks and requests for even more "help" for low rank players i decided to share this super cheap deck.This deck is also a tribute to all the players i saw giving advices in the past, real good value.
Ok, this is a Zombie Midrange Death Deck. Before the changes in deck names it was called Zombie Deck.https://gudecks.com/decks/GU_1_1_KCBKCBKCGKCGKCyKCyCAgCAgCCcCCcCCeCCeCDSCDSHAFHAFIACIACIADIADIAJIAJIAKIAKIBJIBJIBPIBPIBZIBZ?godPowers=100106&archetype=Zombie%20Midrange%20Death
I've been playing this deck for a long time (since Mortal Judgment was released), changing some cards in the process. It has over a 1000 matches in total (combined with previous types and deck name) with win rate around 60%.
It's is important o say that this deck can reach Mythic but it is hard (more on that later).Purpose of this deck is constant higher rank presence for daily earnings. You can easily stay in Solar Gold and go to Diamond. With this deck i earn a 30 GODS a week on average (sometimes is 28, sometimes is 35, but for an ease of calculation let's keep it at 30).
It has a good win rate against almost every deck out there, with some deck being super annoying and Control Death being the hardest to beat. More importantly it is a great counter to any aggro deck, especially War.

The Deck

As you can see it is a very cheap, at the moment i was writing this it was 15$. The most expensive cards are Necroscepter and Netherswarm Lord, and that's it. God power - always Soul Burn for frenzied effect.
So let's go trough the cards.
Gleamweaver - for Anubians and Mages mostly (Arcane Burst and Pyrrhic Knowledge combos). Sometimes it is good against Light as well. It is a versatile 1 mana card with 2/2 stats.
Vanguard Axewoman - top Welcome pack card. 1 mana 2/2 and it adds clearing options early on (Anubians, aggro decks)
Blight Bomb and Curse of Greed - amazing low mana spells. If you are going second you always want one of those in your hand. Curse also has an empowered option you can use if needed.
Voracious Fiend - very good card, and a bit underrated. For 2 mana you get 2/2 with afterlife 1/1 Zombie. Sticky creature, those are important for this deck. You can play it on turn 1 and have board control instantly.
Wicked Fae - Jack of many trades. For 2 mana you get 2/2 and 1/1 creatures with clearing option. It adds to tempo, board clearing and board presence.
Cursed Hoplite - I would the the most underrated Death card ever. Hoplite is great, 3 mana adds 3/1 with 1 armor, and afterlife summon 1/2 with 1 armor. It has 3 DMG so it can clear creatures, especially aggro 1/3 creatures. It is also a "trap" card because there are some players who see it and immediately think "this is a bigger threat, i need to remove it ASAP". And it is a sticky creature for sure.
Cursed Obelisks and Necroscepter - Those are top Death cards in most of the decks. Obelisks are not that expensive but Necroscepter is the most expensive card on the list. They add board presence and constant healing from zombies.Obelisks will be targeted ASAP (especially by Mages) and your opponent will waste cards on it. But it has backline so mostly spells.Necroscepter is great because if opponent does not have relic removal you will always have at least one creature on board. Be careful around The Sanctum - find Sanctum tutorial and learn how it works.
Those two are not 100% essential but you should have them in a long run for better constant win rates. With Soul Burn you will always create board threat.
Decaying Rhino - 4 mana heavy creature. You can even play it without frenzied effect just so the opponent will trade it's creatures or waste spells. Strong hitter and can easily get opponent in trouble.
Netherswarm Lord - very versatile card. 3/5 with buffs to all Nether creatures and draw card once frenzied. It will always, always be targeted first so you can use it as a bait as well. And always place it right of Obelisks, so Obelisks will proc first, then Lord.
Ray of Disintegration - great 5 mana spell. It doesn't cost much so you can combine it with god power or cards from Sanctum (to remove ward). If combined with god power you do 3 DMG to opponent god as well. I have won so many times because of that.
Bifurcating Curse - this is a key card for clearing boards for you. Especially those annoying even mana aggro cards. Your Zombies are all odd mana value (1), Hoplite is 3 and Skeleton is 1. Voracious Fiend afterlife is also 1, Obelisks 3, so you clear those even value mana creatures and have full board presence or trade your creatures to clear the rest.Also, do not be afraid to sacrifice your creatures, you have many ways to establish board presence as well (Afterlife effects, summons, scepter...)
Vampiric Skull - strong board presence card. It adds 6/6 creature with summoning a creature from void - most cases Obelisks, but sometimes you need to be smart and summon sticky creature or Axewoman for instant clearing or Protection removal.Another reason not to be afraid to sacrifice your creatures.
Overseer of Vitality - another undervalued card because it is 7 mana. Board clearing, buff, tempo, presence 6/6 creature.It is a great combo card sine you will always have some creatures on board (this is why you want sticky creatures). If you have Zombies it is also a great healing option. Everything that is left alive after roar your creatures will kill. But don't hesitate to use it on its own to clear board and taunt opponent to use spells.
​

• Other cards (you might use or avoid)

If you are staring up new player and do not have some of those cards - use welcome + core set to get to Astral Meteorite/Twilight Shadow. From there get full meteorite deck and start earning daily GODS to buy cards you need. You want Fiend and Hoplite first because they are very cheap, Rhino as well and Obelisks. Then save for Necroscepter and Lord.
Onyx Nightblade 2 mana - you can use this card at low ranks. It will help you a lot against annoying 1 attack cards. Later replace it with second Necroscepter or Obelisks.
Fickle Cambion 3 mana - easy replacement for Rhino or Hoplite. Usually it will be killer fast and you might not even use it but it is a treat for opponent. Works better in aggro decks.
Vrock 3 mana - another good option. 4/2 and draw cards. be careful with card draws you you do not hurt your hand with too many cards. Also you can force you opponent to lose cards if you notice his hand is full. And not to mention opponent will always try to get rid of it because of 4 DMG.
Dune Cavalry 3 mana - very good starting card for 3 mana. Very useful at early ranks, 3/4, it can take a hit and deal damage.
Tomb Carver 4 mana - another great replacement for Rhino. Some Control decks use it at higher ranks as well. For 4 mana you can take a hit, deal good damage and afterlife heals you.
Wetlands Ogre 4 mana - pure brute, if you do not have Tomb Carver yet. Once you get Carver replace it with it.
Void Flash 4 mana - this spell can sometimes save you at lower ranks. You need to trade your creature as well but you can remove crucial threat. At higher ranks it wont work too well in this deck.
Ogre Archer 5 mana - If you are desperate for more board clearing options, but replace it with something better as soon as you get it. For Lord for example.
Void Drake 7 mana - If you do not have Overseer of Vitality this is good replacement. Be careful how you use it because it only destroys everything with 3 HP and less. I used it until i got Overseer
Cyclops Defender 7 mana - If you do not have Void Drake you can add this one, it will help you save your creatures/god and it can deal good damage.
End Times 8 mana - board cleanse card with board dominance. It is 8 mana card so you can only play it later in the game. For this deck Overseer is better option but it can save you sometimes. It's better for control deck instead of Apocalypses Now for example (but nothing can really replace that card)
Helian Elite 8 mana - More buffed Cyclops Defender. This is not control deck so high cost mana cards will be burden later on. For lower ranks go for it but maybe just 1 copy.
Skeletal Hopilite and Undead Roach 1 mana - i use Axewoman for clearing options as said. If you will go heavy with Nether you can use those, especially if you want to try Chira and Corpse Explosion.
Eva, Baroness of the Dead 2 mana - good option, better in control decks but good vs aggro in general. With Soul Burn power you will have one less option for triggering effect. It is a gamble because sometimes your side of board gets transformed (Obelisks for example). I used it for some time then i replaced it with second Necroscepter.
Corpse Explosion 5 mana - an option you can consider and you will see it in a lot of decks. For me it didn't worked so i never actually used it. But it is an option for sure. Players usually have 1 copy, and i do not like 1 copy cards in deck, hard to draw.
Ragnarok 1 mana - this is great card, really is. It is expensive in comparison to this deck but it it a double edge sword for it as well. You can easily clear aggro cards with it but if you gonna use it it would be best to combine it with Siren of the Grave.
Raze Imp 1 mana - avoid this card. I have seen players using it and it might seem good but i adds random cards to your deck. This deck i well combined and you do not want anything to ruin your chances for pulling what you need.
Burrowing Scarab 1 mana - not for this deck. Great card but better for Anubians, Mill, or even aggro.
Dangerous Ritual 2 mana - might come in handy but you need something to combine it with like Corpse Explosion.
Crimson Oni 4 mana - not good, Rhino is much better, do not get it even if it's cheap.
Reap 6 mana - for control decks, you have Ray of Disintegration and a lot of healing from leach.
Neferu, Champion of Death 6 mana - oh boy, this card is nice. It will cost you a lot if you are F2P but it is a good card. It will for for you as extra board control, something like buffed Overseer.
Undead Chimera 4 mana - great card, aggro uses it a lot, you can use it as well if you trade it with something.
Soul Shatter 3 mana - Curse of Greed is much better. With this one you can destroy your own creatures.
Necronomics 1 mana - awesome card but only if you have Corpse Explosion or something to combine it with. Also expensive compared to this deck.
The Rotted One 5 mana - this on is tricky. I saw it few times and it rarely works (for now, as it is a dragon). Pay attention to this card for the future.
Arch of Amenmose 6 mana - for aggro and Corpse explosion, not for this type of deck.
Encumbered Looter 2 mana - might come in handy but only works early, there are better 2 mana options. This one works better with Anubians.
Spawn of Callaryn 4 mana - i saw it few times, i find Rhino a better 4 mana card for this deck.
Over the Line 6 mana - not for this build, you need stronger creatures, Corpse Explosion is better.
Frozen Rest 3 mana - some players take one copy but it works better in control decks, you do not need it here. Look at the Sanctum for relic removals.
Spirit Storm 3 mana - i saw this few times with same build, skip it. Deck has too few afterlife creatures, but pay attention to this card for the future.
Fallen Legion 3 mana - option to replace Cursed Hoplite but i like Hoplite better - it's more sticky
Perseverance 4 mana - great card but it will not work all the time with this deck. You need constant board domination, or at least you want that. This is great for elimination/healing but it will leave 1/1 creatures which can easily be removed. I said it earlier, sticky creatures are important here.
Chira, The Spiritspeaker 3 mana - great card as well, amazing, but not in this deck. Sure you have Fae here and some other Nether cards but if everything goes to plan they are already used and you established board dominace. 1 mana cards are not Nether so you have problem with activation.
Ember Oni 7 mana - what to say, i dont like this card at all but you can use it. You can swap 1 Overseer of Vitality for 1 Oni, or add 1 Oni for more Control, slower deck

Gameplay and matches

As said this deck is great for Solar Gold/Diamond. You can reach Mythic but you really need to do good and have some luck. Also once you are in Mythic you not stay there forever.
I know there have been a lot of posts saying aggro decks are free ticket to Mythic, especially before with aggro war, but do not believe everything you read. Agrro decks are coin toss, if they do not get what they need in first 2 turns they will probably lose.They are fast deck but coin toss. With enough of matches you can get a good streak to get you you to Mythic, but in general you will say most of aggro players fluctuate a lot. Also aggro is more strategic then you think and only top skilled players will always stay in highest ranks.
This deck is designed to have answers most most of the time no matter what, but it lacks some key elements to be a true Mythic deck.
Your worst opponent is actually mulligan and draws. It is designed as fast Midrange deck, there are also some slower Midrange decks. You have 12 cards that are 4+ mana, and if mulligan is cruel to you, you will lose no matter what.I've had a lot of those matches, going first and i get all 4+ mana cards with bad draws later on.
This is the part where some players say game is rigged. I do not have any evidence to it but it sure is strange to see some odd statically chances happening more then often in a row. Either by bad mulligan, bad draws or prefect counters from opponent.
Speaking of opponents:
Magic
Worst match you can get. So annoying especially Control Magic. They are the sole reason along with mulligan and ranking system you will have hard time reaching Mythic or sometimes drop to Auric Gold.Shaped blast, Unbound Flames and Ember Oni give Mages so much option do remove everything you have. Until Ember Oni was released it was kind of OK to play against them, but now, pure annoying pain. And with Oni not touched by "balance team" i'm afraid how Magic will look like in the future because they will for sure get new powerful spells.
Other Magic decks are OK to deal with. Look at their god power and just keep pressure if the select anything then Magebolt.
For mulligan - go with Fiend, Fae, Obelisks, Necroscepter from low mana cards, Rhino is good draw sometimes. You do not need spells early on so don't keep them.Going first best mulligan is Axewoman, Scepter, Obelisks/Hoplite/Rhino.Going second, Fiend, Fae, ScepteObeliks is good.
​
Nature
Second most annoying deck you will face is Amazon deck. So bloody annoying with their Canopy Sniper, Nimble Pixie, Barksworn Protector and so on. Here your worst enemy is mulligan, because if you do not manage to keep them in order they will ruin all your creatures no matter what.
Other nature decks are easy to deal with. If you see god power Animal Bond it is not Amazon and keep an eye on Dagan - Cures of Greed will ruin him.
For mulligan - go with Axewoman, Gleamweaver**,** Curse and Blight bomb**,** Fiend, Fae, Obelisks, Necroscepter from low mana cards, Hoplite is good draw sometimes.Going first best mulligan is Axewoman/Gleamweaver, ScepteObelisks (or both), Curse or Blight bomb.Going second, Curse or Blight bomb always if you get it, Fiend, Fae, ScepteObeliks for example.
​
Deception
My favorite god even though i do not play it :/Control deception is pain it he ass because of big mana control cards. You need to make them trade coastally - meaning smart board presence. Keep an eye on Toast To Peace - while playing control/mill deception always put most valuable cards as left as possible.
Cutthroat Insight was never a true issue for this deck because if you set up a good board domination and you can easily do it, by the time they used it you would do some heavy damage to their god. Only if your board control sucked CI would ruin you.
Aggro Decpetion - just start strong with board domination, they will have to trade because of leach. Keep an eye on Sanctum and for Bifurcating Curse - lure them sometimes. It's not that hard to win against them, they usually need to be very lucky to win easily against you.
For mulligan - go with Axewoman, Gleamweaver**,** Curse and Blight bomb**,** Fiend, Fae, Obelisks, Necroscepter.Going first best mulligan is Axewoman/Gleamweaver, Scepter and Obelisks, Curse or Blight bomb.Going second, Curse or Blight bomb always if you get it, Fiend, Fae, ScepteObeliks for example.
​
Light
Besides heavy control light you can deal with anything. Again, start strong, make them trade. Fiend + Fae will ruin most of early cards for them. Your removal spell will do the rest. From 5+ mana lure them to fill board so you can use Bifurcating Curse and Overseer. They will also hate your Rhino and Vampiric Skull.
Do no let them dominate you because you will not be able to remove buffed creatures. Trade as well, even if you need to clear your side of board.
For mulligan - go with Axewoman, Gleamweaver**,** Curse and Blight bomb**,** Fiend, Fae, Obelisks, Necroscepter.Going first best mulligan is Axewoman/Gleamweaver, ScepteObelisks (or both), Curse or Blight bomb.Going second, Curse or Blight bomb always, Fiend, Fae, ScepteObeliks
​
War
Aggro War is the easiest match along with Aggro/Regen Nature. Once you get out Obelisk and Necroscepter they are in trouble. Axewoman + Fae will clear early threats if you do not get removal spells. Do not let them go unchecked early. After 4+ mana you own them if you keep them in check.
For Control war, heavy dominance , Fiend, Rhino, Cursed Hoplite. Same for Relic or Armor war.
For mulligan - go with Axewoman, Gleamweaver**,** Curse and Blight bomb**,** Fiend, Fae, Obelisks, Necroscepter.Going first best mulligan is Axewoman/Gleamweaver, ScepteObelisks (or both), Curse or Blight bomb.Going second, Curse or Blight bomb is a must, Fiend, Fae, ScepteObeliks.
​
Death
Control Death is just OP right now. Magic is annoying, just that, but Control Death... You will probably lose but it will not be an annoying match. And since Control Death is very expensive not everyone will have it. Unlink Magic + Oni.
Aggro Death - easy, they will need Corpse Explosion against you to win so your main priority is to clear board all the time.
Anubians - similar to Aggro, plus you have Gleamweaver, a game over for them if you ruin their void.
Midrange - you play against yourselfer probably so you should know all the weakness. Do not let them have 2 Lords on board, ever.
For mulligan - Axewoman, Gleamweaver, Curse and Blight bomb**,** Fiend, Fae, Obelisks, Necroscepter.Going first best mulligan is Axewoman/GleamweaveFiend, ScepteObelisks, Curse or Blight bomb.Going second, Curse or Blight bomb, Fiend/Fae/Axewoman, ScepteObeliks.
​
That's it. It is a cheap faster deck but, you will have to learn hoe to paly this deck. Do not rush when not needed, learn how to lure your opponent, trade off moves. Once you know your deck things get even easier.
Good luck

Bloons TD 6 v37.0 - Update Notes!

Rolling out now on iOS, Android, Steam 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.
Check out the more awesomer update video here.

Key New Features

• New Paragon - The Magus Perfectus! (loves casting spells) Some of you know we teased this last year, but we needed more time to balance the art and design required to make this extra special, so we are very pleased to get this live! Wizard Monkey’s Paragon is designed to be a higher level strategic Paragon with powerful ability usage similar to the Doomship.
  • The core of the Magus is a toggle to and from a Draining Beam which deals very small single target damage but absorbs graveyard mana as it damages and destroys Bloons
  • While toggled off from the Drain Beam, Magus attacks with a powerful Arcane Spike that deals massive damage to MOABs and revives Bloons it slays, while a Dark Phoenix circles overhead attacking with Firebomb breath and a radial fireball attack
  • Phoenix Explosion Ability: can be cast to consume the Paragon’s entire graveyard to set all Bloons on screen on fire for 30 seconds and summon one Zombie ZOMG for every 9000 graveyard mana consumed
  • Arcane Metamorphosis Ability: can be used to consume all graveyard mana and transform the Magus briefly into an alternate form which decimates everything with a flame cascade attack; Metamorphosis lasts longer the more mana it consumes
  • Magus was designed for armchair play so it will fill and consume graveyard mana on its own, but our goal was to create more actively controlled Paragon for those who will enjoy microing between Beam on and off and choosing which awesome Ability to unleash and when

New Awesome

  • Community designed advanced map Erosion by “I am not an artist” ~ u/TheWiseTroll

  • Blade Sauda Nowhere - Try out Sauda and learn some of her skills

• New Slider
  • Everybody loves sliders, right?
  • After lots of discussion on the team and a fair few player requests, we’ve added a ‘Projectile and Effects Scaling’ accessibility option to main menu Settings
  • This is primarily for accessibility to minimize the size and brightness of projectiles and effects, especially when the screen is crowded with Monkeys and Bloons
  • This is not directly a performance improvement feature, so please do not expect the game to run noticeably better - just noticeably cleaner
  • We tried not to remove key game state indicators but this is ultimately in player control - if you adjust the slider and effects and projectiles make it harder to play the game, please reset the slider until the game is working the way you want
  • It’s also really fun for silly screengrabs, so please post your favorites!

Balance Changes

Boomerang Monkey
This part has to be included along with the Lych Soul rework with Paragons which is finally making it in this update after necessary delays. As Boomerang Paragon’s knockback hits so many times so quickly, we need to make it more reasonable when applied to targets that aren’t immediately destroyed.

• Boomerang Paragon knockback amount reduced 3 > 1

Bomb Shooter
MOAB Assassin fills a useful role of a pure long cooldown ‘single target assassination’ in the game, but when compared to something like First Strike it feels a little lacking that it is unable to carry damage through MOAB Layers

• x4x MOAB Assassin ability passes through MOAB layers
• x4x MOAB Assassin ability explosion centers around the impact target

Tack Shooter
Blade Shooter has always struggled to find much value without MK or as a step to Maelstrom, so to give it build value on its own we feel like this should be a part of the base value on the upgrade.

• x3x Blade Shooter pierce increased from 6 > 8

Ice Monkey
Lowest tiers of ice monkey are far too effective for their cost against ceramics, with this scaling well all the way to round 100, we feel like ice duration against ceramics needs to be reduced to counter this but for now this reduction will only apply until T3.

• 000 Ice Monkey freeze duration reduced by 50% on ceramics
• All T3 Ice Monkeys increase freeze duration on ceramics from 50 > 100%
• 203 Icicles crosspath now gains camo prio

Glue Gunner
The Bloon Solver’s rework has been very popular, however, we’d like to have a better lead up into the new mechanics by introducing this earlier at the tier 4 now.

• 4xx Bloon Dissolver now creates puddles on track leading up to Bloon Solver, puddles deal 1 damage, all other stats and crosspath benefits are the same.

Sniper Monkey
This will allow Cripple MOAB to take out regular MOAB layers in one shot until round 100; for such a slow attacking single target tower we feel this will help top path flex, even if mostly for show.

• 5xx Cripple MOAB damage increased from 80 > 280

Monkey Buccaneer
Reworking Grape Shot crosspathing as it gains far too much crosspath value by T2 but then is lacking in purpose at higher tiers, double shot will only work as one extra grape however Destroyer will now apply its full attack rate buff to the grapes and Flagship will equip aspects of Grape Shot on the mini planes.

• 210 Grape Shot total projectiles reduced from 10 -> 6
• 310 Destroyer also reduced from 10 > 6 grapes
• 310 Destroyer now increases grape attack rate twice as much, matching increase to the regular attack
• 410 Aircraft Carrier planes radial attack now fires an arc of grapes instead of darts
• 410 Aircraft Carrier planes radial Emission Angle 360 > 90
• 410 Aircraft Carrier planes radial projectile count 8 > 6
• 410 Aircraft Carrier plane grape projectile speed 100 > 200
• 420 Aircraft Carrier planes radial projectile art: dart > hot grape
• 420 Aircraft Carrier planes radial damage type Sharp > Fire
• 400 Aircraft Carrier plane radials damage 1 > 2
• 4xx Aircraft Carrier missiles now follow tower target priority

Monkey Ace
Spectre is shifting a little of the ceramic bonus around into basic all damage at the cost of reduced pierce, which should make up for lack of single target damage while also making the pierce crosspath more necessary when being used for cleanup focus.

• xx4 Spectre Dart damage increased 3 > 4
• xx4 Spectre Dart ceramic bonus reduced 2 > 1
• xx4 Spectre Dart pierce reduced 15 > 10
• xx4 Spectre Bomb damage increased 2 > 3
• xx4 Spectre Bomb ceramic bonus reduced 4 > 3
• xx4 Spectre Bomb pierce reduced 30 > 20

Heli Pilot
Even with the map-range advantage, rotors are weak compared to any other constant AoE circle like this. Chinook feels like it’s near a place we are happy with now, however we want another tiny nudge on cost while keeping cash generation value the same. Pushing some higher values on the last Comanche Commander changes as the missile attack is effectively such a small portion of the tower’s total damage late game.

• 302 Razor Rotors will now benefit from the faster firing crosspath
• 3xx Razor Rotors cooldown rate 0.75 > 0.5
• x4x Support Chinook price reduced from $10500 > 9500
• x4x Support Chinook supply crate cash generated reduced $1650 > 1,550
• x4x Support Chinook max uses per round reduced from 3 > 2
• xx4 & xx5 Comanche mini's follow the target priority set on their main Heli
• xx5 Comanche Commander missile damage 7 > 15
• xx5 Comanche Commander missile moab bonus 5 > 8
• xx5 Comanche Commander mini's missile dmg 5 > 15
• xx5 Comanche Commander mini's missile moab bonus 5 > 8

Mortar Monkey
As the Rapid Reload crosspath has actually fallen behind in value compared to Burny Stuff for top path Mortars we want to try a slight stun duration increase as this buffs the base path with a larger benefit to Rapid Reload mortars as a stalling option. Mortar consistency is lacking at x3x making it tough to spend on even though x4x is fairly good, so some of the T4 rate is shifting down to help out with this. As the camo property has grown quite weak and currently Signal Flare is considered the best decamo tool, we want to push back slightly on its cost and by reducing the blast radius of the decamo area while emphasizing crosspathing for effectiveness there.

• 4xx The Big One stun duration non-MOABs increased from 0.5s > 0.75
• 5xx The Biggest One stun duration MOAB increased from 0.3s > 0.5
• 5xx The Biggest One stun duration BFB increased from 0.2s > 0.3
• 5xx The Biggest One stun duration DDT increased from 0.2s > 0.3
• x3x Heavy Shells attack delay reduced from 1.08 > 0.81
• x4x Artillery Battery attack rate buff reduced from ¼ to ⅓ (remains the same rate: 0.27)
• xx3 Signal flare cost increased $700 > 800
• xx4 Shattering Shells price reduced from $11,000 > 10900
• xx3 Signal Flare decamo radius reduced from 50 > 43
• 103 Signal Flare decamo pierce increased by 5 > 10
• xx4 Shattering Shells burn DoT deals moab bonus +5

Super Monkey
As Engineer sentries do this already, newly spawned Mini Avatars from temples will now by default match the target priority of the temple.

• 4xx Sun Temple's Magic Sacrifice mini Sun Avatars when placed will spawn with the same target prio as their parent tower

Ninja Monkey
We’re changing the Ninja Monkey Paragon’s focus as a fighter against camo, as we feel like a greater strength and tactical value against camo will be the full reveal of all camos rather than all camo removal.

• Ascended Shadow now grants global camo detection for all your towers
• Ascended Shadow no longer strips camo from Bloons with every attack
• Ascended Shadow main attack gains bonus to camo +6
• Ascended Shadow Flash Bomb Explosion gains bonus to camo +20
• Ascended Shadow Flash Bomb Shurikens gains bonus to camo +16
• Ascended Shadow Sticky Bomb Projectile gains bonus to camo +3200
• Ascended Shadow Sticky Bomb Explosion gains bonus to camo +700
• Ascended Shadow now deals 25% damage to all non-Boss MOABs that spawn

Alchemist
Alchemist Transforming Tonic is in a weird spot with the transformation unable to attack through walls when the base alchemist is able to. Also with this, including a QoL fix for the T5 that currently prevents transformed towers from functioning with target priority.

• x4x Transforming Tonic transformed alchemist can now ignore line of sight
• x5x Total Transformation towers transformed by the x5x will keep their Target Priority

Druid
While the tornado doesn't do anything to MOABs, it still spends itself on them which wastes a relatively long cooldown, so addressing this flaw. Avatar of wrath doubles the base attack speed before any scaling is applied, but this hasn’t ever applied to the 205 Lightning, so taking care of that as well. Housekeeping - even deep in the forest, it does actually make life better.

• 3xx Druid of the Storm’s Tornado no longer targets MOAB-class Bloons
• x3x Druid of the Jungle no longer pops Lead Bloons without 130 crosspath
• x3x Jungle Vine follows target prio of tower instead of strong
• x3x Jungle Vine defaults tower to strong priority when purchased
• 205 Avatar of Wrath base Heart of Thunder attack rate increased 2.3s > 1.15

Spike Factory
We’ve heard the feedback, so Spiked Mines get a tweak to get more mines exploding but with less pierce on each, to overall increase quality of life in more frequent use but less wasted pierce. This will help out with some of the problems it has scaling into late game super ceramics.

• 4xx Spiked Mines pierce increased from 12 > 20
• 4xx Spiked Mines explosion pierce reduced from 40 > 30
• 4xx Spiked Mines DoT damage increased from 1 > 10
• 5xx Super Mines explosion pierce remains at 60
• 5xx Super Mines DoT damage increased from 1000 > 2500

Monkey Village
A minor QoL for cheap Monkeyopolis creation, we included a small base amount of cash production to the generation formula.

• xx5 Monkeyopolis income formula now includes a base +$2500 minimum

Engineer
The 005 crosspath fix in the last update left XXXL Trap slower than previously even if crosspathed to 205, so we are increasing that base 005 slightly to match up the 205 crosspath again so that it isn’t any slower than before.

• xx5 XXXL Trap attack cooldown reduced from 5.8s > 4.6

Beast Handler
As our newest tower to be added to BTD6, we went over feedback for every path and made a large number of adjustments addressing a variety of points.

• 3xx Great White thrash rate benefits from speed buffs
• 3xx Great White damage increased 4 > 8
• 3xx Great White max extra damage from merge increased 8 > 16
• 3xx Great White max attack rate buff from merge increased 0.20634 > 0.38
• 3xx Great White extra thrash knockback duration from merge increased 0.1 > 0.2
• 4xx Orca thrash damage increased 20 > 30
• 4xx Orca thrash max extra damage from merge increased 40 > 60
• 4xx Orca max attack rate buff from merge increased 0.37829 > 0.38
• 4xx Orca thrash radius increased 20 > 24
• 5xx Megalodon price reduced from 55,000 > 45,000
• 5xx Megalodon thrash radius increased 30 > 36
• 5xx & x5x Beast handler paths are now overclockable
• x4x and x5x Max Merge Bonus: Overkill damage on MOABs now distributes to the children of that target
• xx1 Gyrfalcon path deals +1 damage to Regrows to stop accidental infinite regrow farms
• xx3 Golden Eagle pierce increased 12 > 15
• xx3 Golden Eagle pierce range increased 24 > 30
• xx3 Golden Eagle ceramic pierce penalty reduced from +3 > 1
• xx3 Golden Eagle Max Merge Bonus: Now grabs MOABs with pierce penalty +14

Gwendolin
Removing the stacking aspect of Gwendolin’s burn damage over time, but increasing the damage as she levels up so that it actually scales up in power now.

• Lv6 Gwendonlin main attack DoT stack count 0 > 1
• Lv6 Gwendonlin main attack DoT damage increased from 1 > 2
• Lv9 Gwendonlin main attack DoT damage increased from 1 > 4
• Lv10 Gwendonlin main attack DoT damage now increases by 1 per additional level

Adora
While they are complicated individuals, Adora can now fully appreciate the sacrifice of the newest Monkeys in the struggle against the Bloons.

• Lv7 Blood Sacrifice can now be used on Beast Handlers

Admiral Brickell
We aren’t happy with strats that start looking like exploits with frequent sell-replace loops.

• Upon Selling Brickell - all of her placed Mines are now expired along with her as well

Psi
Psi’s stalling out of the end of round is an odd mix of useful / annoying / out of control, so we are for now capping this to a 3 seconds of overtime stalling. Psi’s Psychic Blast ability also has weirdly low pierce for a long cooldown ability with no damage, we are increasing the base pierce greatly but it no longer increases in pierce at Lv7 since the extra pulse brings more pierce anyway.

• If no Bloons are left unpopped on screen aside from ones Psi is currently holding & destroying, these Bloons will be destroyed after a maximum of 3 seconds
• Lv3 Psychic Blast pierce increased from 50 > 200
• Lv7 Psychic Blast pierce increased from 100 > 200

Event / Boss / Relic / Knowledge

• All Lych Soul variations can now be stunned/slowed by paragon tier upgrades

Looking Forward
Five months of 2023 done and dusted, which feels to us like it has zoomed by, perhaps because the Auckland office where the BTD6 team is based has only just reopened after the severe flooding at the end of January. All of Update 36 and the majority of Update 37 were completed while again working from home, but we’re very excited to have the office repairs done, the flood wall almost finished, and the ability to work shoulder to shoulder again on fun new things for the monkeyverse! Here’s the latest gaze into the crystal ball:

• Update 38 Key Content
  • New Boss - Phayze: another all new Boss concept and play style, not giving any other hints apart from the name itself
  • Summer fun: a new Brickell hero skin and a waterpark map aimed toward Intermediate to help keep northern hemisphere summer cool
  • Quests: continuing to build new quest system features and adding a few new Quests to the list
• Update 39 Key Content
  • Map Editor: under construction since last year with internal systems testing happening during 38.0 development, we are super excited to put map creation tools in player hands on as many platforms as possible when it goes live
  • New Hero - Spirit Walker: another unique design that we’re sandboxing already to make sure it has as much balance and art iteration as possible, again no hints other than the name
• Update 40 Key Content
  • New Paragon - Monkey Sub: we’ve tagged sub as the next Paragon, so tell the Navarch to stop hoarding all of the Portable Lakes!
  • Stretch Goals - Boss Rush Team Event and CT Themes: lots of unknowns 3 updates out but we have strong plans for a new Team event and new parameters for Contested Territory that will make each CT more dynamic - anything that we don’t get done by end of year will have strong groundwork for next year
• Console
  • Getting closer to submission on Xbox and PlayStation but this has been slow going. We’ve added another programmer and are working even more closely with platform partners to get through our last issues and launch as soon as possible, but that’s likely at least another 2 months. Switch is still a consideration depending on response to Xbox and PlayStation, as it will require additional bespoke development.

I am interested in purchasing the Pit Boss PB1000D3 for my brother as a 60th birthday gift. However, I don't know how I feel about the 50 degree increments on the temperature controller. Am I over thinking it? I have a Treager Select Elite that has 25 degree increments.

I racked a round into my p365xl and it sounded weird and hollow so I went to inspect it and saw the V crown 365 9mm round hollow points literally got smashed into the shell. These fuckin rounds ain’t cheap.

twitter.com/deletecorp (my backup twitter), excuse typos for brevity.
Understand that AWDTSG is a relatively small network and attack surface compared to the tens of thousands of groups that are reported daily, for everything from scams to political discourse. Given proper attention, Facebook will shut down these groups immediately. The group admins have made the case that they are safe harbors for victims. Multiple reports from multiple friends increases visibility.
Facebook also revised its doxing policy to remove an exception that previously stated publicly available contact information was exempt from their doxing policy. Report screen shots and comments that include personal contact information (places of employment, phone numbers, full names, etc). Reporting comments and posts are less effective.
If you do not have the means to obtain legal council and have been personally targeted on the "Are We Dating The Same Guy" Facebook groups, the following is the most effective way to see the offending AWDTSG group shut down quickly. There are also off-brand groups in every city now carrying the "uncensored" moniker. You made need to have a friend or family member join other groups to see whether you have been posted in multiple places.
Ask a female friend to report the group using these steps, as opposed to commenting in your defense. This ensures they remain in the group and can submit subsequently posted content or on behalf of other men that are being targeted.
​
A member of the group who is also a facebook friend can visit the group and select the 3 dots next to \"joined\"
​
From the drop down menu select REPORT GROUP. This is more effective than reporting comments or posts, which are often reviewed only by automated systems.
​
​
Select HARASSMENT OR BULLYING
​
Select FRIEND OR GROUP MEMBER. By selecting a friend from your list, Facebook will increase the priority for a human review. Multiple reports against a single group in a short time also increases this.
​
Your Facebook friend will then select your name from the drop down menu that will appear as they type. Then press Send.
