Is the Bomb Blitz being tested in the most optimal mode? It can't activate its special ability without losing lives, and in CHIMPS Mode you can't lose lives whatsoever. I really think you need to occasionally switch to Impoppable or something similar for these specific showcases, Ethan, otherwise we're not getting the full scope of what these changes provide.
you also only get 1 life in impoppable mode :D. in chimps, you can combo bomb blitz (and elite defender) with corvus' soulbarrier to proc their passives. but yeah, abr, double hp moabs or apopalypse freeplay would've been better suited to showcase the bomb blitz.
0-2-5 is definitely still much better. I still don't see any reason to use 2-0-5 when the other crosspath just gives so much more damage. Top path gives only pierce and 1 damage, but the attack speed from middle path increases dps by a lot. I don't think there will be a reason to use 2-0-5 unless nk buffs the damage that the crosspath gives.
There's no point using it at all anymore. They killed it's damage and it's speciality damage bonus. If you're gonna kill the towers purpose and specialties then at least make it dirt cheap. But it's still almost 30k. And what do you get? A canon that now fires nerf balls instead of cannonballs.
The top path upgrades weren't actually buffed, I think you misread the notes. If anything, they became less significant as the base pierce of the bomb was buffed, nudging them towards redundancy. 10x and 20x just got buffs carried over from the 0xx getting +8 pierce, the upgrades themselves weren't actually made stronger. And even if they were, attack speed always scales the best and is by far the more needed upgrade for the bomb shooter.
This tower actually pairs extremely well with the new primary expertise. The expertise can chunk moab layers to soften them for the Cluster, while the Cluster keeps the Expertise from getting pierce overwhelmed. 2-0-5 is better if you just need to slot something into a comp, while 0-2-5 buffs better. Almost all buffs it gets are linear, and the cluster itself already has solid damage per shot. The middle path helps it out by nearly doubling the number of shots it fires, and thus doubling the rate all those buffs go out. 2-0-5 will handle ceramics better as well, while 0-2-5 will break down moabs.
I'm thinking blitz and bloon cin may be a pretty good combo of an easy early and mid game, with the shattering helping blitz and cin helping against the zomg's Also realising striker buffing mortars and bombs would also be a great help, or even Gwen for signal flare upwards attack speed and more help in the early game against blacks and zebras
The problem is NK killed the recursive cluster bombs in Update 40. They nerfed it too much with Frag Bombs from Normal attacks to Explosion attacks. They hurts my soul as it can no longer take out Zebras or Blacks. I found it frustrating with that nerf
Bomb Blitz used to be pretty much a challenge solution only tower, because it was just more efficient to just spam recursive clusters. Now it's one of the best towers in the game IMO, very flexible and strong for how cheap it is.
One thing i want them to add is how blmb blitz passive works in btd battles 2 were it activitie when bloon leaks but u take 0 dmg if abilty 1 shots it then it be useful even more in chimps and impoppable cux of 1 life
The late game experts say that faster shooting towers ultimately win over the slow shooting towers due to the extra buffs they get...so yeah 025 will always be better than 205...because this mechanism is like one of the core concepts of btd6 and I don't see ninjakiwi changing it anytime in the far far future(unless they literally want to launch a btd6 2.0)
Bombs are the tower that are made to not be able to pop blacks, bombs and ice shouldn’t be able to pop blacks and whites or else their properties would make no sense
Still very mid unless you have Striker Jones as your hero and/or you aren't on CHIMPS and can utilize the leak explosion. Considering there are towers with more popping power, versatility, and no weaknesses I can't see much reason to use this.
Bomb blitz is okay but they really need to buff Mauler line. Mid-path is garbage compared to Top and Bottom. I almost exclusively use top path because it's powerful and just needs camo detect and black pops that the shrapnel doesn't get.
You call *HALVING* it's damage and stripping the bonus damage against fortified a *BUFF?!* Are you MAD? It doesn't matter if they lowered the price with 7k or 30k if they completely neuter it! How is this considered anything but a nerf death?
Things are getting interesting with these buffs, is the 205 becoming a good option and have you guys tried the new Blitz yet?
Now I need to try it!

No cause it lost its black popping power. Haven't bothered using bottom path since.
Currently using 025 Bomb Blitz + 520 Archmage to grind the Collection Event on Beginner CHIMPS

Remember kids, a Bomb Blitz buff means a barrage of Geraldo nerfs each patch.
Hey that guy had it coming
Oh god, the prophecy of the Bomb Blitz
Bomb blitz 📈📈📈
Geraldo nerf blitz 📈📈📈

Especially when hes giving outside buffs
@@Nick-tc9psyeah just put down a 4-2-0 alch on it and youre good to go.

Pretty sure that either an update or two ago: they allowed the recursive cluster’s secondary bombs get alch buffed to, which is crazy
man I need to relearn the meta, last time I played the miniopolis was murdered in cold blood

1:09 attack COOLDOWN got cut in half

The discount village is mentioned at 3:56 and appears at 3:56
They should redo it completely.
You don't lose less than 200 lives (unless you lose) if you have a tower worth 30k.
Besides, it sucks in chimps.
I think instead of happening at losing lives, the explosion should happen when the Bloons reach like the final 10% of the track.

I used this thing to clean up ceramics and black border Dark Path. It's becoming on of my favorite towers honestly
Bombblitz would work well with bloon crush combo. Keeping them stunned while bombblitz decimates the clumped up bloons
Only time I use the bottom crosspatch is when I'm doing a challenge. Apparently I'm not the only one.
guys, don't forget you can use bomb blitz passive in chimps with corvus' soulbarrier spell.
let it pop black bloon!!!!

0:07 is this a geometry dash vortex level reference 😲😲💀💀
I miss when 204 bomb could solo mid game crowds without striker
I just 2TCed with it and Etienne, what more could it want?!
I love bomb blitz in co-op CHIMPS when using Corvus. It’s like a discount TSAR bomba.
Yeah they made the corvus-bomb blitz 2 tc even easier
Still very mid unless you have Striker Jones as your hero and/or you aren't on CHIMPS and can utilize the leak explosion.
Considering there are towers with more popping power, versatility, and no weaknesses I can't see much reason to use this.
I use the bomb Blitz before and got is definitely insane now.
I love using bomb blitz on impoppable and chimps so this is great news
Bomb blitz cracked???
in all of my 2000 games played, I have never used this tower
No matter how they buff bomb blitz, I always have a mindset that few 204 bomb perform better than 205 for some reason. 😅
I've always wondered what pierce does to bomb shooter
can only hit limited bloons ig
this can't be OP in the slightes- OMG YOU CAN T2C WITH IT NOW
Can we get an etienne buff that isn’t just 2 damage to the lv20 UAV 😬

mauler spams are good early MOAB defenses though
They sorta did with 040 050 layer soaking with abilty
