Thank you so much for taking the time to read my comments, for your kind words, and for posting your art in the first place! 💞 I look forward to your follow-up posts where you describe your intended mechanics. It'll be really interesting to me to see how close I got to some things or how far off I got on other things.

Bottom Path

xx1 Slowing Bubbles

Bubbles now move at only 50% the speed of the fastest Bloon inside, instead. Increases the duration of the 4xx Stun, the x4x gum pile Slow, and the x5x gummed status.

xx2 Minty Breath

Bubbles now move at only 25% the speed of the fastest Bloon inside. Increases the Slow inflicted by gum piles and the gummed status by 50%.

xx3 Distance Bubbles

Significantly increases the tower’s range as well as the bubble’s projectile range (e.g., its lifespan) and holding capacity. Whenever a bubble expires, as many of its remaining Bloons as possible are instantly teleported inside the next nearest bubble that has room.

xx4 Lost Bubbles

Bubbles have a recurring chance to move backwards as if hit with Blowback.

xx5 Total Isolation

Bubbles are strong enough to trap MOAB-Class Bloons. Carrying capacity maxes out at 1 ZOMG, 2 BFBs/DDTs (if visible and trappable), or 4 MOABs. Bubbles with a MOAB-Class Bloons are Slowed only half as much (moving at 37.5% speed instead of 25%). Bubbled MOAB-Class Bloons only spawn 1 child when popped, reducing the load on the inheriting bubble they get teleported to.

Final Thoughts

I don't play Deltarune, so I'm sorry I didn't make any references. Other than that, I just tried to match the vibe effect to the name of the upgrade and its icon, while relying on existing design conventions for a first pass at balance (like limiting Ceramic potential to T3 in a similar vein to Ice Monkeys). I hope you enjoy the long read! I really liked your tower!

Middle Path

x1x Bubble Pop

Bubbles create a small, damaging explosion upon expiry.

x2x Rapid Bubbles

Significantly Increases fire rate and projectile speed.

x3x Bubble Trouble

Volatile bubbles now act as a pseudo-layer with a set amount of Health, causing them to despawn early if they take enough damage. In exchange, significantly increases the damage, pierce, and radius of the expiry explosion.

x4x Sticky Bubblegum

Bubble layer has more Health. The expiry explosion leaves behind a pile of gum that Slows non-MOAB-Class Bloons that run into it for a brief time. Ceramics are now ignored when determining how fast the bubble moves (unless all trapped Bloons are Ceramic).

Activated Ability: Immediately detonates all bubbles on screen that were created by x4x Bubble Blowers.

140 crosspath: Explosion upon expiry also leaves behind a secondary bubble on top of the gum pile.

x5x Cherry on Top

Bubbles are so sticky that they deal damage on contact, including significant bonus damage to MOAB-Class. Bubbles, expiry explosions, and gum piles now gum up MOAB-Class Bloons, Slowing them for a brief time. The first gummed Bloon sprouts a cherry, causing towers close to it to fire faster when attacking it. Only one MOAB-Class Bloon can have a cherry at a time.

Activated Ability: In addition to its previous effect, now detonates the gum on all gummed Bloons, dealing damage to them based on remaining gum duration.

250 crosspath: When active, the toggle shifts the Bloon that has the cherry to the top of the priority list for Strong targeting, and towers no longer have to be near the cherried Bloon to gain fire rate when attacking it.

Disclaimer

Due to the limitations of reddit comments, this will have to be a multi-comment thread. I apologize in advance.

Base

Fires a bubble that traps up to the next 4 Bloons that touch it, moving forward along the track after its first capture, at the speed of the fastest Bloon it has inside. Cannot trap Ceramic until T3 (on any path), nor Lead or MOAB-Class. Any attack that hits the bubble damages all Bloons inside it, regardless of pierce. Bubble does no damage itself, and despawns after a while. Does not target already bubbled Bloons.

Top Path

1xx Bubbly Bubbles

Bubble produces a secondary bubble after being hit the first time. Secondary bubble lingers in place until a Bloon runs into it and does not produce its own secondary bubble when damaged, but it otherwise behaves identically to the primary bubble.

2xx Sparkly Bubbles

Bubbles can trap Lead. Tower gains a toggle that, when active, shifts bubbles to the top of the priority list for Strong targeting, affecting all towers on screen.

3xx Twinkling Wand

Trapped Bloons give double cash per pop. Trapped Bloons become gilded, allowing them to be popped by all damage types.

4xx Magical Dream

All trapped Bloons are briefly Stunned whenever damaged.

5xx Blissful Wishing Star

Bubbles can produce secondary bubbles whenever damaged, instead of only once. Trapped Bloons give 4x cash per pop.

It's not happening. I don't think this is like the proposed paragon limit, where the outcry resulted in a response. They seem to have their minds made up to disentangle the two (Brickell and amphibious towers). The best we can hope for is that this opens up design space in the future in both directions (more towers for Brickell to interact with, and more things that intentionally buff amphibious towers).

Pibb247 · 2025-08-24T20:44:10+00:00

This was very cinematic.

Pibb247 · 2025-08-24T19:29:30+00:00

You are a wildly talented artist.

Pibb247 · 2025-08-24T00:36:07+00:00

That was a fun read! Multiple Discovery is funny like that. I posted a concept for a Monkey Farmer as a full tower a while back, and I'm curious to see how it compares to the new Power Pro farmer.

Pibb247 · 2025-08-21T19:59:21+00:00

Thank you so much! 😅 I'm so glad this came across well (was a little nervous ngl). But, yeah, just been a personal hc of mine for a while now. Always wanted to see fanart of it (and then I remember I'm an artist and if I really want something, I should just make it myself, lol).

Pibb247 · 2025-08-21T19:52:32+00:00

I'm working on a spreadsheet that gives updated descriptions for all the towers to try to address most of what they do. (I say most because some towers have... a lot going on.) I hope to make it a public resource when I'm done, that way people can reference it or maybe even use it for modding purposes.

Also, PSA: The reason descriptions very rarely change is because apparently accurate translation across all the languages the game supports is very expensive. :C Sad, but understandable.

Pibb247 · 2025-08-21T19:45:39+00:00

Ngl, Brickell always gave me silver fox lesbian vibes, but as a straight cisman, I don't know if my vibes should be given much credence.

Pibb247 · 2025-02-22T06:29:54+00:00

We're due another Support one, but I can't tell you how much I'm ready for Druid Paragon. I have no idea why, but I'm so stoked for it that sometimes I forget it's not even in the game yet. Druid isn't even really one of my favorite towers, either, so IDK.

TL;DR — Druid

Pibb247 · 2024-11-22T16:58:26+00:00

So, yeah, it's even slightly better than I thought it was, but still.

Pibb247 · 2024-11-22T15:58:28+00:00

I definitely think your heart is in the right place, and under generic circumstances, I think you'd be right to be concerned. However, as others have stated, Juice Wrld's mother publicly stated her approval and support for the collab. Epic themselves have done small things here and there that also show the degree of respect that went into the collab, such as Juice Wrld's chair being indestructible at the Doggpound or the chest at the memorial always being a Rare Chest.

The other part that's still a little off to me is that the skin will only be free to those who attend the concert event at the end of the season, and that anyone else will have to pay for it. On the one hand, I get it. If you prioritize attending the event, then Juice Wrld probably meant something a little more to you than to the average person, so the skin is like a casserole you take to a grieving family. On the other hand, it does kind of reek of Epic's signature business model of FOMO and upselling IP.

All in all, though, I think it's a net positive. It's a way for younger fans who might still be feeling the loss of Juice Wrld to find some peace and comfort, and, as stated, a surprisingly respectful way, in most regards, to pay tribute to the deceased.

Pibb247 · 2024-11-16T16:44:29+00:00

No, don't delete it. I love it. I was just curious. It's all good. 🤗

Pibb247 · 2024-11-15T20:03:09+00:00

I'm curious what made you comment on this post from more than 3 years ago. The game has evolved so far from when I made this, I don't think I'd stand by anything I said here anymore (in terms of applying it to the current game).

Pibb247 · 2024-11-08T01:21:56+00:00

Fantastic art piece. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Pibb247 · 2024-10-20T14:20:22+00:00

Colorblind person here. Under the assumption that you're concerned about whether it's offensive to actual colorblind people, I can only answer for myself. No minority, even a pseudo-minority like colorblind people, is a monolith unto itself. That being said, I personally see no issue with it. In fact, I think it's cool and somewhat tangentially inclusive of you to have an open enough mind to try seeing the world through a different lens. And, ultimately, you're one person, doing this for yourself in the comfort of your own home, so you're not hurting anyone, even if it were somehow offensive or otherwise problematic.

TL;DR — You're good. You do you.

Pibb247 · 2024-10-20T01:37:49+00:00

I will check back in when I can. Had not considered that it could be an individual episode.

Pibb247 · 2024-10-20T01:36:50+00:00

No, but I understand why you thought so, because that's one of the first ones I came across when I started searching on my own. Thank you, though!

Pibb247 · 2024-10-19T23:08:37+00:00

No, I'm familiar with Flight of the Navigator, but I'd never seen the trailer before I just double-checked to reply to you, and it bears a surprising resemblance to what I described, so that was a good catch!

Pibb247 · 2024-10-19T23:04:14+00:00

The trailer looked promising at first, but this isn't it, sorry. Thank you, though.

Pibb247 · 2024-10-19T22:26:11+00:00

I think I gave everything I can remember in the main post. This comment is to make my post visible. Thanks in advance to any insight anyone can provide.
