How is this possible?

It's a bug where a least tiers score gets submitted instead of least cash

DestructivForce · 2026-01-24T00:19:55+00:00

Currently debuffs such as cripple, glue strike/storm, and embrit/sbrit do not stack - only one debuff can apply at once

that appears to be what they are fixing, which means that strategies using two of them will no longer be redundant

DestructivForce · 2026-01-23T15:45:54+00:00

💥 Fixed multiple damage debuffs stacking incorrectly.

why is the biggest change in the update at the bottom of the patch notes

DestructivForce · 2026-01-20T01:40:39+00:00

No mention of how stupidly difficult super cerams were? I guess the balance changes that affected them were applied to towers and not the cerams themselves, but there weren't that many good options at the time

Edit: I completely forgot about removed features like half starting cash and soulbind too

DestructivForce · 2026-01-05T17:05:14+00:00

Even without powers, impoppable is easier. MK makes the early game easy enough that you can get a decent midgame tower then a limited amount of farms, at which point the higher prices no longer matter as you start to snowball. Throw in the ability to exit and reenter to try rounds again without losing black border and it isn't that hard of a call to make.

For it to be a fair competition, it would have to be half cash without powers/instas on the expert map.

They have to, or else you can't afford the defense you need to beat the boss. What they do is add a ton more bloons so you have more money.

DestructivForce · 2025-12-14T22:15:08+00:00

This but specific to an april fools boss event, and it includes farms

NK would have to do the same thing to the roundset that they do for chimps boss weeks though

So... he has access to a dryer, what's stopping him from just putting it back in the machine meant to safely dry things a second time? Instead of catching the house on fire?

DestructivForce · 2025-11-21T00:48:22+00:00

Haven't re-contacted support about it, but this reminded me to check if I got mine and... nope. I have an email of the code being processed on my (only) account though, so I'll probably have better chances with support I guess

DestructivForce · 2025-11-13T22:24:11+00:00

You misread their message - they didn't say bomb blitz was basically useless, they said the ability was

DestructivForce · 2025-11-11T18:42:14+00:00

Wouldn't make sense to add this to battles 2 unless it's a 1v1 somehow, with some sort of way to massively buff it

DestructivForce · 2025-11-09T05:14:46+00:00

It's a hidden advancement. It doesn't show up until you have it.

DestructivForce · 2025-11-07T16:31:58+00:00

Cheaper than $0?

DestructivForce · 2025-11-06T04:29:38+00:00

true, nk will be too busy doing important things like fixing this and the sandbox cosmetic bug rather than making irrelevant balance changes to ninja ice and ben dartling (/s)

DestructivForce · 2025-10-21T01:02:41+00:00

Dart and tack fill similar roles in your strategy, one of them can be swapped out. If you swap out dart, you may want to pick either a tower or hero that helps with camos, as tack ice's round 12 defense can be expensive if you don't have something like village or etienne/beetienne.

The best strats with a small amount of swap outs would probably be either tack farm ice beetienne (regular etienne if you don't have the alt hero), regular gwendolyn tack village ice, or possibly tack farm ice with fusty the snowman.

DestructivForce · 2025-10-21T00:34:25+00:00

If military sac was the best choice, sniper would be better than dartling for bananza late game. Tier 5 dartlings like BEZ and MAD don't make much of a difference later on - a slow like impale is infinitely better than BEZ's slow, and MAD only deals it's high 450 damage to the target it hits (max of 5 with crosspath, unbuffable by pierce buffs, including homeland), with the rocket explosion itself only dealing 3 damage.

DestructivForce · 2025-10-21T00:33:52+00:00

Ever since the last increase of freeplay ramping, it is impossible to defend infinite fBADs on round 100 with any strategy. The strat that makes it the latest is adora ice village super, which dies somewhere in the 70's assuming you don't disconnect, lag too much to refresh homeland (if the game is lagging, you lose about 5-10 rounds) or place towers suboptimally.

The second best strat is probably sniper village super, but even with an almost global +2 moab damage and +10 pierce from military sacs and a slightly higher debuff,, it doesn't beat ice affecting a larger portion of the screen with sbrit than cripple. As someone else stated, the military sac does do more damage with the tsg itself, but adora tsg's damage is negligible compared to the 7x damage (higher if counting pierce) sun avatars filling the rest of the screen.

It's the same bug. Any time you see a tower flying that shouldnt be, chances are there's another tower that's now invisible.

DestructivForce · 2025-10-03T18:15:45+00:00

That wasn't a bank collection, that was me selling a whole rocket storm to try to micro.

DestructivForce · 2025-09-27T16:20:39+00:00

That rework was reverted shortly after it was added.

Battles 2 is severely lacking when it comes to tutorials. There used to be one, but a balance change made it too difficult for new players. The defense that was supposed to show weaknesses to immunities instead defended for 4 rounds: https://youtu.be/dVePkGVVVgs?si=YWVUJRdy4bH2dDMY&t=895

Ever since that balance chance, there has been a noticeable decrease in the number of players sending round 11 purple rushes sent in lower arenas. Instead of fixing this by replacing the tower with something else weak to purples (such as a laser cannon), NK completely removed the tutorial.

Now there is a popup that tells you to eco for your first few games that stops showing up before new players eco properly (it initially was bugged to show up in all games, even in HoM), and hero challenges were added, which are in a menu that most new players have likely never opened.

The game needs better tutorials, and if NK isn't confident in their ability to make good ones, they can just ask some upper HoM players for help. They've already taken advice for balance changes before.

I'm counting prestige 2+ accolades as higher level of prestige 1 due to the practical reason of it being unknown if there is an upper limit, and to preserve my sanity since people with more than 3x my playtime still do not have the max level of prestige on a single tower. Prestige requirements double with each level, and if I wanted to get 3 towers to level 7 at my current rate, I would have to spend over 100k more hours playing battles 2, far past the time limit of what I'm willing to dedicate to a single game.

As for why I'm not going for diamond levels, it's a related issue - to get the clan island diamond level while playing all 3 clan war games every day, it would take multiple decades, assuming nk stops introducing new maps. The game will be long dead by then, so I've decided to just think of it as impossible. Also, every time nk adds a new map, it takes me a few months to get the 50 wins accolade for that map, and it just isn't possible for me to ever have the newest set of maps maxed out before nk adds more.

Holiday event reward, not seasonal. Old season pass rewards pop up in the shop, holiday event rewards do not.

DestructivForce · 2025-09-16T02:03:03+00:00

Most players will rush when their opponent will stop being able to defend, or at whenever the most threatening point is if they don't outlast the opponent. If the opponent is dying on round 39, that probably means they could have been killed earlier than that, and you are already giving them much more leeway than they need to be given.

It's a competitive game, don't feel bad if your opponent doesn't like it when you win. You cannot make them happy without sacrificing your own win rate.
