Bloons Card Storm - Update 2.0

5 Dec

Update: Bloons Card Storm 2.0 - Update Notes

Key Features:

Ranked Mode: Take your best decks into Ranked Matches and work your way up from Tiers 1 to 5 and then Paragon Rank!
- Each Ranked season will last just over two months so you’ll have plenty of time to play make your way up to Paragon! We’ll take feedback on length and adjust if necessary for future seasons.
- The current season is Temple of The Sun - a tribute to the High Priestess Adora.
- All players start each Season at Tier 0 and will work up to Tier 5. Wins garner significant progress, and losses move your progress back a fraction. Once you have reached a Tier, your progress will never drop below that Tier during the Season.
- You will receive mid-tier and milestone rewards for playing through Tiers 1 to Tier 5, and these are only awarded the first time you reach each threshold.
- Paragon Rank - once you reach Paragon, you level up into Paragon Degrees, going from degree 1 to 100. Each win increases your degree, while each loss lowers it, but you will never leave Paragon rank. For Paragon ranks, the rewards are the prestige of seeing how high you can get each season and a profile badge that will show your accomplishment.
- Win-streaks will boost your points, allowing you to rank up faster between Tiers or Paragon degrees.
- There’s also an exclusive cardback for getting to Tier 3, and an avatar reward for the Ranked season.
New Hero - Adora the High Priestess
- Play as Adora and prepare your best deck for the ultimate <del>sacrifice</del> winning combo.
- Adora’s hero powers are an exciting mix of damage and self-healing:
  - Minor Ability - 5 Bloontonium:Orbs of Light - Deal 30 Damage to a Random Bloon, 2 Times.
  - Passive - 8 Bloontonium:Sun Shield - When an enemy Bloon attacks, lose 3 Bloontonium and trigger Orbs of Light on that Bloon.
  - Major Ability - 15 Bloontonium:Ultimate Sacrifice - Sacrifice a friendly Monkey, trigger Orbs of Light and heal 150. Add an extra Orb of Light (Max 8).
- Like our other heroes, get her exclusive cardback when you reach Level 10 with Adora!
New Cards! 18 New Cards in total for the Card Collection

We’re introducing some new mechanics here, with multi-charge Monkeys and Powers added to the mix like Dart Monkey Twins and Spike Storm, plus On Play target cards like Slowing Bloon and MOAB Dominator. As well as that, we’ve got plenty of new ways to search through your deck for just the right card with cards such as Signal Bloon, In Our Darkest Hour and the cutest little detective in Monkey Town… Monkey Investigator!

  - These card packs will be replacing the single random card purchase. You will be able to purchase them in sets of x3 cards for 200MM, x5 cards for 250MM, or x7 cards for 400MM. You have to save up more Monkey Money, but lots of us were missing the excitement of opening a pack, so we hope this change helps scratch that itch.
- Crafting Tokens
  - All 3 rotating token sets now contain 600 Crafting Tokens for 50MM each
- Info button added to Daily Items tab explaining pack contents and rarities
New Arena! Game Night
- This new (returning for Full Playable players) arena, inspired by tabletop and board games, gives your monkeys a buff to their damage rolls! Monkeys played in this arena will gain +5 Attack Power.
Amelia's Adventure - Mirror Mode
- Take on Amelia’s Adventure with Mirror Mode, where players will also get the effects from their selected Adventure Effect cards. For example, if you select the ‘Opponent starts with a Wizard Monkey in Play’ card, no problem, so do you!
- Sometimes Amelia really had the deck stacked in her favor, so if she’s frustratingly difficult, flip Mirror Mode on and see if the game feels fairer.
- You can turn Mirror Mode on and off at any stage of Amelia’s Adventure to manage your own difficulty preferences.

Balance Changes:

Bouncing Bullet - Attack Power 65 -> 80
Glaive Ricochet - Attack Power 30 -> 40

Some of our Ultra Rare monkeys aren’t quite strong enough so we’re bumping their damage up slightly.

Storm of Arrows -> Damage 150 -> 120

Part of hero-specific card design is that they help to define the hero’s identity and are in general strong cards. SoA has been on the radar for a long time but we wanted to see how it performed in the wild with the full launch card set before making any changes. It’s still just a little too strong so we’re ramping its damage back.

Rapid Shot - 3 x 30 Damage -> 4 x 40 Damage

*blush* Looks like something got past the balancing team’s bow! Rapid shot can hit more targets than SoA and that flexibility is expected to cost more, but the damage output was far too low here. Bumping it up and adding an extra hit to really help this card out.

Quincy Flurry of Arrows - Bloontonium cost 9 -> 12

Quincy has been performing well ever since the First Look builds but now that we have four solid weeks’ worth of play data in, his major ability is just too game defining at such a cheap cost. Bumping this up to 12 and we’ll see how that affects the current meta before considering any other changes.

Gwen Flame Strike - Bloontonium cost 20 -> 18, damage 200 -> 250

While Quincy has been dominating against all other heroes, Gwen’s winrate and matchups have been poor across the board. Her Flame Strike ability is very powerful but is hard to save up for and the payoff requires significant setup. We still like the setup/combo but are bringing the cost down slightly to make it slightly easier to get to as well as increasing the payoff.

Search functionality for keywords, sort, and filter
Cardback selection UI popup has been improved

Bloons Card Storm

Bloons Card Storm 1.2 Patch

7 Nov

We’re back with another update! This patch is slightly more substantial than the 1.1 patch as we’ve fixed a few larger bugs and also made two balance changes.

Thank you again to everyone that has supported the game and is enjoying playing it. We’re continuing to work extremely hard on improving the experience and adding new features. Stay tuned for more info in the future!

New content

More Feats! We’ve added more steps into the Win Duels and Play Cards feat lines. This should give people more to play for as you wait for Ranked mode. Progress achieved towards these before this update will count so many of you will have these Feats ready to be claimed upon updating the game.

Card changes

Note that while we have only changed 2 cards here, we are keeping a careful eye on balance overall and will make further changes as needed. This includes hero abilities and general hero winrates too!

Jungle Bounty Druid

Cost 5 -> 7
Ammo 2 -> 1

Jungle’s Bounty Druid is an excellent control card that lets a player stabilize after initial aggro or tempo bursts from your opponent. At 5 cost, it was simply too easy to get into play early and also to get multiple copies out. While good counterplay has already developed, it’s still just too easy to get out so we’re increasing the cost significantly.
While the chip damage from JBD is pretty minor compared to its healing effect, that extra 30 health on the turn it is played as well as continued 30 DPT was also helping this card to be a one-stop shop for anti-aggro. Reducing this ammo to 1 means it’ll have less impact the turn it is played.
We did consider reducing the healing effect, however we didn’t want to completely destroy the cards’ effectiveness in its role as an anti-aggro card. Instead, we’ve made it harder to get into play, giving aggressive players a bigger window to push through damage.

Growth Gas Bloon

Health bonus +20 -> +10

Growth Gas Bloon’s intended purpose is as an anti-AoE and random damage card. This is why it has high health but a very long delay. Working as a stronger Bloon Embiggen in Quincy decks was not intended and meant that it needed to be changed. That combo will still work with GGB but it won’t be as easy to get quick lethals with it. We’re hoping this change will allow it to serve its intended purpose but we’ll continue to monitor its use, particularly in high skill games.

Additional changes

Change round required to earn XP from 4 down to 2. We implemented this change earlier in the week as some people were winning very quickly and not receiving XP.
Increase auto-disenchant values roughly 5x. As mentioned on Discord and Reddit previously, we also implemented this change server-side earlier in the week as the initial values were not correct. New Universal Token values per card: Common 50, Uncommon 150, Rare 250, Super Rare 600, Ultra Rare 2500.

Bug Fixes

Fixed player data not correctly syncing everything across devices, this will ensure that your decks (and Adventure Progress) will sync on different devices
Daily reward/ad watch should now rollover correctly each day
Weekly Quest reset timer now shows days as well as hours and minutes
Overall Wins should now show correctly
Improvements to matchmaking should allow players to find matches more quickly
Fixed monkeys with no ammo going into Ready Idle animation after they are Stunned
Fixed a missing projectile effect on Gwen's Firestorm Power
Fixed Jungle Druid's feet clipping into their platform
Players should now not end up with more XP than needed for their current level
Fixed Monkeys and Heroes getting stuck in "aiming" state when the round ends while aiming
Deck Edit panel will now update immediately when new cards are crafted
Fixed Weakening Gas Bloon giving negative attack values to defenders
Fixed missing Floating Animation for Monkey and Bloon Cards played on your side of the board.
Fixed save conflict popup layering issue
