# Key New Features
* New Boss Bloon Blastapopoulos, the Demon of the Core has returned!
* While Blastapopoulos is in play, towers suffer from reduced range & ability cooldown rate.
* Blastapopoulos passively burns off any damaging effects applied to them, and has the Purple Bloon type property. You can support your towers with damage type enhancements to get around this as normal, but note that this doesn’t change projectile temperature!
* Overheating! Most projectile hits heat up Blastapopoulos, with anything weak to purple (fire, lasers & plasma) increasing heat even more, so use these damage types at your own risk or bring along some Ice attacks to cool things back down! Whenever maximum heat is reached Blastapopoulos vents the excess, briefly stunning towers & increasing ability cooldowns then superheating the area for a short time, causing all projectiles to burn up faster than normal.
* Skulls when triggered will fill up a portion of Heat, and spew out a number of Fireballs & Pyroclastic Rocks.
* These Fireballs will target your towers & create debuffing pools of magma around their targets while the Pyroclastic Rocks land around Blastapopoulos to form impenetrable barrier rings around the boss until they expire
* You’ll need to carefully manage your heat to avoid dire consequences!
