Key Features

• Ranked Mode - Season 2: Zee Jays Radical Season - A new season begins, can you reach Paragon tier?!
• Tier 3 unlocks the Ranked Season 2 Cardback - and for those reaching Paragon tier you’ll unlock the Ranked Season 2 Avatar.

• New Hero - Zee Jay
• Get ready for Zee Jay to tear up the arena with his totally Rad Bloons and mad skills.
• Zee Jay’s abilities focus on buffing both Bloons and Monkeys to create devastating combos of impenetrable defense and monster Bloon waves. He plays with a lot of flexibility, and can quite easily punish one-dimensional opponents, however he can take some time to build up power, so watch out for those early Bloon rushes!
• Zee Jay comes with his own special ability currency - Rad Tokens. Similar to Adora’s Orbs, Rad Tokens amplify ZJ’s abilities, and can be used for offense and defense. Once a token is spent though, it’s gone, so you’ll need to plan carefully when to spend them and have a plan to generate more. Rad tokens are earned by playing Bloon cards each turn and using ZJ’s Power cards.
• Passive Awesomeness - Passive:
Your first Bloon summoned each turn gives you a Rad Token and gains +5 Health per Bloontonium you have (after the Bloon is summoned)
• Rad Enhancements - 3 Bloontonium:
Remove a Rad Token. Target Monkey gains +20 Attack Power until the start of your next turn. 
• Rad Bloon Time - 10 Bloontonium:
Remove all Rad Tokens and summon a Rad Bloon with Delay 2. It gains 70 Health per Rad Token removed (Rad Bloons allow Zee Jay’s Passive Awesomeness to trigger twice each turn)
• Like our other heroes, you’ll also get a super rad cardback for reaching Level 10 with Zee Jay!

• New Cards! for the 3.0 Card Collection 
This mini-set is focusing on a few alternative ways to generate Bloontonium as well as ways to spend it with two new cards that cost Bloontonium to use instead of Gold. We’ve also got support cards for Zee Jay and the very sticky Eternal.

Season Rank Changes 

• Paragon Tier - Winstreaks will no longer apply
Paragon Status is meant to be a more skill-based Tier, this section will no longer provide winstreak bonuses to rank up. We’re still evaluating showing a proper skill rank once you reach Paragon.

• Tiers 3-5 - Points requirements increased slightly
Players were blasting through the higher tiers a little too quickly so we’ve increased the points requirements roughly 15%.

Balance Changes

Bloons

• Bolstered Bloon: Shield 100 -> Shield 50.
• Bolstered Bloon: Gain +30 Health each time you play a Bloon -> Gain +25 Health each time you play a Bloon
Bringing the starting shield down considerably for the Bolstered Bloon and also tweaking the health gain down slightly. It should still ramp well though.

• Discount Bloon: HP 100 -> 120
Continuing to look at underutilized cards with promise, we’re buffing Discount Bloon’s health a little.

• Nested Blue: HP 60 -> 50
• Nested Green: HP 100 -> 80, Delay 1 -> 2
• Nested Yellow: HP 140 -> 120, Delay 1 -> 2, Cost 3 -> 4
These came out a little hot last week and clearly needed a nerf. They should all still be strong cards but not quite so oppressive this way.

• Weakening Gas Bloon: Cost 7 -> 6
Weakening Gas gets a cost buff to make it more appealing. Look out for them in the Season 2 Storm as well!

Monkeys

• Thunder Druid: On Play: Deal 100 damage to all enemy Bloons -> On Play: Deal 80 damage to all enemy Bloons
Thunder Druid is working a little too well as AoE for the cost, so we’re bringing its damage down slightly.

Powers 

• Nature’s Clarity: Pick 4 -> 3.
• Nature's Clarity: Gain 20 Shield per Gold cost of picked card -> Gain 15 Shield per Gold cost of picked card
Pick 4 was a little anomalous so bringing this in line with other heroes’ Pick cards. The shield was also too powerful, so we’ve weakened that slightly.

• Super Monkey Storm: Cost 8 -> 10
Similar to Thunder Druid, SMS is just a little too efficient. However, SMS is meant to be a very strong board clear so instead of lowering its damage, we’re upping its cost.
