Hi everyone! Welcome to the blog post for July 13th, 2018.
This is going to be my very first blog post. So I feel a small introduction is necessary.
Hi, I’m Tarn.
Let’s be honest, no one can fill Aarons shoes. He’s done so much for the community and was a huge part of NK for such a long time. So to honor him, this blogs competition is going to be...
Competition:

What’s going on this week?
What's been happening here at Ninja Kiwi? Well for starters we have been working hard getting Bloons TD 6's first content update ready. You'll most likely hear about it next week so keep an eye out on social media. The SAS 4 flash 30 fix has been put on hold as we continue work on the next BTD 6 update. It’s proving rather difficult. Thank you all for your continued support and patience while we figure this out :)
The NK EU BATTD development is going better than ever, if you're a fan of Adventure Time, make sure you're all up to date on the latest episodes!

Questions from the comments:
Thanks for everything you have done for ninja kiwi Aaron, the blog post was absolutely lit, and probably one of the reasons I'm still here. I look forward to whoever makes the next blog post and for them, I have a question. what did Aaron look like?
Imagine a God coming down to earth and spending what we perceive as lifetimes, creating and crafting a human so perfect and glorious that there could only be one. That creation is what we call Aaron and to answer your question he looked like an Angel.
Is Rohan the new CM now or is he still QA?
Rohan is still QA, he’s been doing an epic job reaching out to the community. He even re-organized the forums late last night! The current CM’s are Sam, Sav and myself.
That's Sad that you are leaving:( I hope you have a good time and I hope the people in NK will do as much as you because YOU DID A LOT FOR EVERYONE:) I hope they fix SAS 4 soon because I really enjoyed that game and I cant play it anymore.
He truly did! He taught me everything I know :)
The SAS 4 flash 30 fix has been put on hold as we continue work on the next BTD 6 update. It’s proving rather difficult. Thank you all for your continued support and patience while we figure this out :)
Will there be another btd battles youtuber tournament?
Maybe, sometime.
In BTD6, where did the Kylie boomerang get it’s name?
"Kylie" is one of the Aboriginal words for the hunting stick used in warfare and for hunting bloons.
Feel free to leave comments or questions down below, I’ll also be hanging around the forums, Discord, and Reddit if you want to get in touch.
Tarn (Not Aaron) Tarn
Aaron: A kind-hearted soul who emits a powerful aura that gives all other towers extra range and benefits-- it also slows down and slowly pops bloons. Lvl 3 - Electric Surge - For a few seconds, any bloon that passes through the aura gets 2 layers shredded per half second. Lvl 10 - Favorable Odds - All incoming bloons slow down while all towers speed up for a short period of time. Lvl 20 - Doublevision - All towers within the aura get double the cash per pop for a short period of time. Electric Surge is permanent, while the skill becomes even stronger and damages MOAB-class bloons. Forum name is FutroRing :)
An informative and well-written blog Tarn, thanks for stepping up to continue Aarons work.
I always imagined Aaron being a frog that makes too much frog noises :3 So I present: Aaron the frog. Concept: As you can see, Aaron can be placed in water, just as the submarine and Buccaneer. Aaron is mostly supportive and needs help from other monkeys! Before you read the rest, everything before the 1-20lvl path are their starting/base stats. Take everything from the 1-20lvl into consideration. Primary Attack: Aaron can spew out a beam of water. This doesn't got that much popping power (1), but it is a continues beam that can pop multiple bloons in a small area. Abilities: For it's first ability it can create a wave of water that travels back the road knocking back bloons. This also helps for Aaron himself since he pushes all bloons on the same line so he can slowly pop them all at the same time! I' m not so sure about it's 2nd ability, I had a few ideas: -Whirlpool: Creates a whirlpool sucking bloons into the water for 4sec seconds (like Chipper used to do). Every bloon loses 1 layer per second. -Boiling: Aaron's water is now boiling! Getting stronger popping power (3) and able to pop leds/frozen bloons for 3 sec. Passives: As for Aaron's passives, he can create up to 3 lily pads around him. Small towers like Ninja, Druid and Alchemist can be placed on them! As for some his levels, he can make other towers shoot faster! (since we already got Obyn for the slow) Levels: 1: Enables Aaron to attack the bloons with his continues beam of water! 2: Spawns 1 lily pad around him. 3: Gains the Wave ability. 4: Spews out water 5% faster. 5: Wave now pops 2 layers of bloons on impact! 6: Wave pushes back more bloons further away! 7: His primary attack now pops 2 layers of bloons. 8: Spawns another lily pad around him. 9: Every tower placed on a lily pad gains 5% increased attack speed. 10: Gains the Whirlpool/Boiling ability. 11: Spews out water 10% faster! 12: His primary attack now pops 3 layers of bloons. 13: Wave pops (+2) and pushes back even more bloons even further away 14: Spawns another lily pad around him. 15: 2nd abilitie lasts longer. (4sec) 16: His primary attack now pops 4 layers of bloons. 17: Every tower placed on a lily pad gains another additional 5% increased attack speed. 18: Wave pops another additional 2 layers on impact. 19: 2nd ability lasts even longer! (5sec) and will pop +3 layers. 20: When your 2nd abilitie (Whirlpool or boiling) is activated, Aaron will leave water on the track. Slowing the bloons 25% down. It's abilities also reflect his job: He is a support, does the things together with great effect. However sometimes you have to PUSH-BACK some people (1st ability) and sometimes you have to heat things up or get right to the point (2nd ability) and all in all. He was super effective ;D
