![]() ![]() We hope you will find this map to be a unique play experience compared to other Expert maps, as Glacial Trail was designed with the goal of bringing in another fun single lane track to the Expert category.We aim to have a healthy mix of simple and complicated new content, and our next planned Hero (who will drop in midway through next year) will step back to a ‘less is more’ design aimed to be unique in its own way but simpler to pick up and with the lower 5000 Monkey Money unlock. We also want to note after the last few fairly complicated towers between Geraldo, Beast Handler, Magus & now Corvus we don’t intend to continue a trend of more and more complex designs.Anyone who doesn’t have Geraldo unlocked, you have the Holiday season to unlock him at the current rate. We don’t want to blindside anyone with this change, however, and won’t be changing the unlock price until Update 41. This same price point reasoning also applies to Geraldo, and we plan to raise Geraldo up to this 7000 Monkey Money unlock as well.Given this and the high level of strategic understanding involved in playing with him, we feel the higher price both reflects this additional development effort and will defer the unlock until players have additional experience to better understand how and when to use his powers. ![]() To date he is the most complicated and in-depth Hero in BTD6 and as noted has taken months of work and revision. Corvus can be unlocked for 7000 Monkey Money.At Level 7, Corvus gains the ability to Spirit Walk mapwide, which allows repositioning if other Monkeys start pop stealing too much. Because much of Corvus’ power comes from Spells, proximity to Bloons for Haunting and Mana generation is essential, and we think it suits Corvus’ personality to be near the frontline, too.When destroyed, Haunted targets are absorbed as Mana and then explode, dealing strong area damage. Corvus himself is able to debuff a single Bloon at a time with his Haunt, which removes regrow and purple properties and enables increased energy damage.Corvus harvests Mana from Bloons and uses this to channel powerful energies through his Spirit companion to perform many powerful attacks from his spellbook (which we think isn’t in any way cursed or possibly sentient) Corvus fights alongside his lovable Spirit companion, which will attack Bloons anywhere on the map following his target priority.We hope you enjoy playing this very unique Hero! After months of work developing the complicated balance and technical aspects of a Hero with so many combinable elements, we are so happy to confirm that Corvus will indeed be in Update 40! We’ve seen the community speculation about whether we’d get Corvus released this year, and while it wasn’t easy, not only did the team rally but we’ve had significant time to balance and bugfix.Along with this, we’ve ensured that every map now has a designated Boss Spawn track so that there is no randomness to where they will come from.Boss Challenge can be accessed from the new Events menu, or via the Boss Menu.Any Boss Bloons not currently in an active event can now be challenged at any time on a map of your choice, even tougher maps where we won’t generally run Events.To remedy that and to massively extend the ability to practice different strats and maps, we’re opening up a persistent Boss Challenge system! With more Bosses came more downtime between each Boss appearance.Co-op daily challenges will now last multiple days up until the next challenge cycles around for more time to complete and less downtime between them.We’ve moved everything over to a new and improved events menu with all active items visible at a glance and estimated countdowns for upcoming events. Our events menu was getting longer and longer, and perhaps a little too reminiscent of our Flash gaming roots. ![]()
