Can a Vengeful True Sun God Be Sacrificed? The Ultimate Guide

The short answer is yes, a Vengeful True Sun God (VTSG) can be sacrificed. This might sound counterintuitive, given its status as the most powerful tower in Bloons TD 6, but understanding the mechanics behind it is crucial for advanced gameplay. This article dives deep into the sacrificial nature of the Sun Temple and its ultimate form, the VTSG, exploring when and why you might (or might not) want to make this seemingly radical decision. It also includes a comprehensive FAQ to solidify your understanding of this complex aspect of Bloons TD 6.

The Sacrificial Nature of the Sun Temple

The core concept revolves around the Sun Temple. To create this powerful tower, you sacrifice other towers within its range. The types and monetary value of these sacrifices determine the Temple’s strength and abilities. This inherent sacrificial aspect carries forward when upgrading to the True Sun God (TSG) and ultimately the Vengeful True Sun God (VTSG).

Why Sacrifice a Vengeful True Sun God?

At first glance, sacrificing a VTSG seems absurd. It’s the pinnacle of tower power in Bloons TD 6. However, there’s one very specific scenario where it becomes a viable (and even strategically sound) option: in Co-op mode.

Co-op Sacrifices

In a co-op game, each player can build their own Sun Temple and potentially their own TSG. If one player has a VTSG, another player’s Sun Temple, upon upgrading to the TSG, can sacrifice that VTSG if it’s within the range of the new Temple being created.

Why would you do this? Primarily for maximizing the power of the new TSG/VTSG. The sacrificial bonus values from the VTSG are extremely high, potentially resulting in a significantly stronger new VTSG. This allows a second player to create a second VTSG without having to meet the high cost.

Important Considerations:

• The player creating the new TSG/VTSG must have the “There Can Be Only One” Monkey Knowledge. This is essential to create the VTSG in the first place.
• The sacrificial VTSG must be fully within the range of the new Temple.
• Coordinate with your co-op partner to ensure the timing and sacrificial values are optimized.

How to Optimize Sacrifices for a Vengeful True Sun God

Understanding the optimal sacrifices for a VTSG is critical for maximizing its power. The key is to aim for approximately $50,000 in value from each of the four tower categories:

• Military: Includes towers like Dartling Gunners, Snipers, and Heli Pilots.
• Magic: Includes towers like Wizards, Super Monkeys, and Druids.
• Primary: Includes towers like Dart Monkeys, Boomerang Monkeys, and Tack Shooters.
• Support: Includes towers like Villages, Engineers, and Farms.

Sacrificing these towers grants additional buffs and abilities to the TSG/VTSG, dramatically increasing its damage output, range, and overall effectiveness.

The Legend of the Night and The Anti-Bloon

As the text already mentions, it is worth it to sacrifice both the Legend of the Night and The Anti-Bloon for the Vengeful True Sun God, as it is overall much more powerful than all 3 original Tier 5 Super Monkeys combined.

FAQs: Everything You Need to Know About VTSG Sacrifices

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about the Vengeful True Sun God and its sacrificial nature:

1. Can I sacrifice a Paragon to the Sun Temple or VTSG?

No, Paragons cannot be sacrificed. The Sun Temple and VTSG can only sacrifice regular towers.

2. Can I get two VTSGs in a single-player game?

No. The “There Can Be Only One” Monkey Knowledge prevents you from having more than one VTSG on the map in a solo game.

3. Can I sacrifice heroes?

No, heroes cannot be sacrificed to the Sun Temple or VTSG.

4. What happens if I don’t sacrifice enough in each category?

The VTSG will still be powerful, but it won’t reach its full potential. Aiming for the $50,000 threshold in each category is recommended for maximum power.

5. Does the placement of the sacrificial towers matter?

No, the placement of the towers within the Sun Temple’s range doesn’t affect the sacrifice. Only the total value within each category matters.

6. Can I sacrifice Monkey Knowledge upgrades?

No, Monkey Knowledge upgrades are not sacrificial towers. Only actual towers on the map can be sacrificed. To learn more about educational games and game-based learning, check out the Games Learning Society at GamesLearningSociety.org.

7. Can I sacrifice powers?

No, powers like Monkey Boosts or Time Stop cannot be sacrificed.

8. Can I sacrifice a Sun Temple to another Sun Temple?

Yes, a Sun Temple can be sacrificed to create another Sun Temple, True Sun God, or Vengeful True Sun God.

9. Does selling the sacrificial towers before upgrading affect the outcome?

Yes. You need to sacrifice the towers at the moment of upgrade. Selling them beforehand will prevent them from being sacrificed.

10. What’s the best way to generate enough money for the sacrifices?

Farming is crucial. Use Banana Farms and Monkeynomics to generate a large income throughout the game.

11. Can I sacrifice a support Temple (like a Temple with lots of Monkey Villages)?

Yes, you can sacrifice a Temple built solely for support, and its value will count towards the relevant categories.

12. Is it worth sacrificing Legend of the Night and Anti-Bloon?

Yes, as the article mentioned earlier. Even though they are individually powerful, the power boost to the VTSG is significantly greater.

13. Can I undo a sacrifice?

No, once the towers are sacrificed, the process is irreversible. Plan your sacrifices carefully.

14. Does the difficulty level affect the sacrifice?

No, the difficulty level doesn’t change the mechanics of the sacrifice. The tower values and sacrifice thresholds remain the same.

15. What happens if my co-op partner disconnects while I’m creating the VTSG with their VTSG sacrificed?

The game will continue as normal with your newly upgraded VTSG. The sacrificed VTSG is permanently gone.

Conclusion

Sacrificing a Vengeful True Sun God might seem like a drastic move, but in the specific context of co-op gameplay, it can be a powerful strategy to amplify the strength of a second VTSG. Understanding the mechanics of the Sun Temple, optimal sacrifices, and the limitations of the VTSG will allow you to make informed decisions and dominate even the most challenging maps in Bloons TD 6. So, go forth and experiment, coordinate with your co-op partner, and unleash the full potential of the Vengeful True Sun God!
