##### New Awesome

- New Tack Shooter Paragon, the Crucible of Steel and Flame. Tacks, blades, fire - what more could there be? Well, plenty actually, as the Monkeys realized they can cram blades full of hot tacks! We could leave it at that, but for those who’d like a little more detail, read on!

- Constantly attacking with a short range maelstrom of white hot blades that burst into a nova of tacks when they expire, this paragon creates quite a spectacle to behold. The tack monkey inside (!) is unable to see unrevealed Camo Bloons, however with its 2 abilities this isn’t enough to hold back its power.
- Maelstrom ability: given that the main attack already is a permanent maelstrom, this ability gives the tower a massive temporary increase to projectile lifespan & pierce in order to greatly expand the coverage of that local maelstrom. While this is occurring, high pierce jets of blue flame will periodically blast around the tower to wipe out any smaller targets. This is a coverage & cleanup ability, so it has an extremely short cooldown but is not a single target damage dealer.
- Meteor Impact: As the Maelstrom ability is more of a utility, a second ability is here to bring the damage! Meteor Impact calls down a blast that deals high damage to an unfair area, and any Bloons foolish enough to withstand the initial impact will be wiped out when this meteor breaks apart into a ring of 32 homing fireballs

- New Revenge Map, Last Resort!

- For those who thought Resort was too much of a chill vacation. Although honestly it really doesn’t look all that bad to me, maybe everything’s fine and it’s just a nice winter resort?

- Battle Cat Crossover!

- Heralding our new integration partnership with the Masters of the Universe brand from Mattel, Battle Cat is featured as the first of several drops planned through 2026.
- Check out Battle Cat in his very own Quest and on most platforms as a highly effective, single-target, purchasable Power.
- More details: Using the Powers tab, place the timid Cringer and he’ll stick around untransformed for the whole game, meekly swiping at a few Bloons. You’ll notice he comes with an activated ability, though. Activate this and he transforms into Battle Cat, tearing into Bloons, knocking them back, and applying a powerful damage over time that also nullifies Bloon immunities. This ability is so powerful, it can’t last forever, so after a few rounds Battle Cat must portal back home to Eternia.
- On most platforms, Battle Cat Powers can be obtained via the Battle Cat Prestige Pack that comes with tier 5 Beast Handler Insta Monkeys, an exclusive Avatar, and an exclusive Banner and for repeat use the Battle Cat Booster Pack that also comes with a selection of Insta Monkeys.
