Double correction at 15:50: I'm still not actually sure which value it is so we'll have to wait for the actual numbers in testing lol; anyways, what's your thoughts on 1.5? Full patch notes here: redd.it/wmofr7
I think 1.5 is great. A few questionable changes are tack being nerfed even though it's only viable on a couple maps, while boomer was not nerfed, has a much stronger early/mid and works on almost every map.
I think the ezili in this game should get more early game potential since getting to the late game with a bad early game hero is going to prove very difficult if the enemy is aggressive. However she has fair pierce and the moab hex is amazing in my opinion but getting level 10 is already a challenge.
I agree with this, But I think the alt ezili is way to similar to normal ezili unlike the others which have a certain buff and nerf that makes them a good bit better in different parts of the game.
With how strong it is late game with moab hex, then shouldn’t it be weak early game? Then ezili can have a larger pay off as a weak hero that grows significantly through the game
You simply cannot have a hero that can accomplish everything. I believe that it being weak in the early game compensates for it being strong in the late game, as well as it being difficult to play early on makes you think more about what cheep towers are going to be the right choice in the beginning. That way it can be a good hero, but won’t necessarily give you a free win and break the game.
I think she has lots of early game potential tbh. Completely invalidating regrow rushes and allowing lots of towers to pop purples that couldn't before (main ones are making ring of fire actually viable and WoF popping purples). Saying she doesn't have early game potential just because she doesn't do high pierce/damage at base ignores that she's primarily a support/ability focused hero
@@apersonwhomayormaynotexist9868 I completely agree with that statement. I think what Hol Up was trying to say was that Ezili cannot handle the early game on her own, which of course she can’t.
Did everybody here just overlook that Level 11 Smudge Catt gives back 9 lives every other round? By the time you get to it, you won't need Heli for lives. EDIT: Thank you to those who pointed out my mistake.
@@MachJacob343 I think it's supposed to be thematic with how "cats have nine lives" so probably not... I wouldn't be surprised in Smudge Catt's buffs are actually weaker to compensate.
The life loss would be insane when combined with Bomb Blitz since you can reliably nuke the entire map. When also using towers that give lives back, you can essentially nuke the map infinite times
doesn't feel like it's already gonna be season 7. I am really glad they reworked the tower xp system. though, definitely helps casuals explore different strategies.
I might honestly come back to the game. I have always loved grinding, but it’s really hard when you don’t fully enjoy the game. I actually bought all the towers and pretty much never played again. I still don’t even have a hero
Heart stopper sounds like a pretty game breaking ability for the early-mid game rounds. Unless the person just locks themself off of regrow rushes/spaces them out.
@@gokusoloscope baiting might only work with smudge cat, normal Ezili keeps the effect up for a while, so baiting and waiting leaves time for the opponent to know there's something coming
I don't view the Tack nerf as much of a nerf anyway. Maelstrom is best used close to the Bloons you want popped, so them not going through walls doesn't change anything. Maybe for In The Wall but Tack is already amazing on that map with or without the nerf.
i dont play much battles 2, but i will say the best ezili strat will be heli sniper sub, the heli to farm both money and lives, sniper can do a lot of damage and debuff and elite defender pairs well with ezilis totem, and the subs energizer t5 will reduce ability cooldowns everywhere by 20% and also make heroes in range level up faster, apart from the first strike capability which does a lot of damage.
I love when companies forget buffs/nerfs and then they write them off as bugs. That sabo was iirc a nerf that thwy said was to reward sabo timing instead of sabo spamming, and now they fix it as a bug to slow newly spawned bloons. This reminds me on league when they gave a char that can make itself invisible if he stands still the buff that allowed him to walk inbisible if he was in a bush, then 2 patvhes later they got rid of it daying "we fixed a bug that allowed this char to walk while invisible if he is in a bush" then next patch was basically a "we forgot we added it intenntionally sorry. Lol
druid farm sub will still be absolutely dominating, so tired of seeing it was really hoping for bigger nerfs everything else looks great (very happy about glue buffs as a glue player)
@@Idontknow-rh6cl No it's not, HFI beats it on longer maps, and DFA loses to well palyed WFV, DFA is really difficult to pull off as well and it's not broken, its balanced but it requries lots of skill for it to be considered meta thats why it stayed at the top
I think they should give dart and glue the ability to spawn in with one of each for free if you are using one of or both of those towers just like the monkey knowledge. Although if you chose both dart and glue you should probably get a free dart and glue, not one a free dart or glue like in the main game
Dart doesn't get much from that since getting Spike-O-Pult is an easy early game. Glue, on the other hand, could definitely use it since a 0-0-0 Glue at the entrance set to Last is an amazing stall that can't always be done for the sake of greed.
Ezili druid can also work because of totem and heart of vengeance, and in this vid we saw that cat ezili also regains lives at lvl11 so you can reuse totem later on
I think the sub nerf will help. I'm honestly a fan of the druid at the moment, I think it has a high skill cap but is overall balanced for the skill you need to have to use it. The 750 druid of wrath will definitely balance it even more, and ballistic and submerged sub will definitely balance out the strategy
I like everything in the update, I just dont know why they didnt change the fact that you can put brambles outside the track, that is way to op against the first moabs and imo it should be removed.
I could see a ton of ezili plus farm strats because (correct me if I'm wrong, I don't play battles 2) bottom path will regen the lives that totem loses
Cat Ezili already has life regeneration built in, you can see in this video that Isab's life total goes up - despite casting totems - a few rounds after he said he has to be very careful with the totems he ended having more lives by the end of the game than he had when saying that
@@RancorSnp If you use the totem every round you will lose 0.5 lives every time you use it, but also does normal ezili regen lives? because if not than I could still see this work, or heli since you can regen lives easier
The maelstrom nerf is pretty big on Koru, cus there is an obstacle in the middle, and even though it’s not that big, it might mean mael won’t solo every rush, which is scary
I have 2 theory Theory1:if universe began with a small sun explodes and start the universe and time does it means sun god is actually god of unirverse and time too?(sorry for bad english) Throry2:if black holes suns before does it means sun god is god of blach holes too?(sorry for bad english)
If the mortar is a good BAD tower i am absolutely going to change from my absolutely 'what is this" strat of churchill glue ice and sub to churchill glue ice and mortar
as a complete noob at battles, would bomb, sniper, heli be worth running? 2 tier 5 monkeys that get massive buffs from using totem, two global farm towers, you'd have good moab damage with sniper + bomb, at least in theory
i cant play btdb 2 anymore because sometimes just winning, losing, or opening a different menu will crash my pc to the point where i cant even move my mouse but my pc can easily run btd6 for some reason
bruh i thought when they said u dont have to get any cosmetics before unlocking the hero alt they meant we instantly get the hero alt and dont have to spend hero points or mm on them
I bought all the towers and quit because the grind was too much I got a job and fam now this isn’t like when I used to play at school in elementary lol
Ezili would be good with Druid because you could leak lives without having to early leak and also you can heal with 0-5-0 (also grants camo and purple bloom popping which druids struggle with)

Ezeli, Heli, Sniper, and some other tower sounds OP (I was thinking druid, but heli regans lives, so idk)
dartling gun or village might work well, sub could be a possible pick. I'm a total casual tho so take that into account
I meant darling, village, sub as a 3rd pick not a full team btw
Glue
I feel like bomb blitz chinook ezili and other tower (could be wizard because the buff) is going to be a really op combo
Elite defender and druids should work well too
