The highest Paragon degree achievable in Bloons TD 6 (BTD6) is 100. Achieving this coveted degree unlocks the full potential of your Paragon tower, unleashing devastating power against even the toughest bloon waves. This guide will delve deep into how to reach Degree 100, the mechanics behind Paragon leveling, and address some frequently asked questions.
Understanding Paragon Degrees
The strength or “degree” of a Paragon ranges from 1 to 100. This degree is determined by several factors, including the statistics of the merged/sacrificed towers and the amount of in-game cash invested into the Paragon. A higher degree translates to increased damage, range, and overall effectiveness.
Factors Influencing Paragon Degree
Several elements contribute to the final degree of a Paragon:
- Sacrifices: The type and amount of towers sacrificed significantly impact the degree. Tier 5 towers are the most valuable, but sacrificing lower-tier towers also contributes.
- Cash Spent: Investing in towers within the Paragon’s range before and after its creation increases its degree. The amount of cash spent is a crucial factor.
- Pops: The number of pops accumulated across all sacrificed towers is essential. A higher pop count leads to a higher Paragon degree.
- Paragon Power Totems: These items, purchasable from Geraldo, provide a direct boost to a Paragon’s degree. They are particularly useful for solo players.
Achieving Degree 100: A Step-by-Step Guide
Reaching Degree 100 requires careful planning and execution. Here’s a breakdown of the optimal strategy:
-
Maximize Sacrifices: Prioritize sacrificing as many Tier 5 towers as possible within the Paragon’s range. Aim for a balanced distribution of tower types relevant to the Paragon.
-
Invest Heavily: Spend a substantial amount of cash on towers within the Paragon’s range before and after its creation. This investment directly translates to a higher degree.
-
Accumulate Pops: Ensure that the sacrificed towers have accumulated a significant number of pops. Focus on towers that excel at bloon popping.
-
Utilize Paragon Power Totems: If playing in single-player mode, purchase Paragon Power Totems from Geraldo to supplement the degree. The number required varies depending on the other factors, but they can be crucial for reaching 100.
-
Consider Co-op: In co-op mode, coordinating with teammates to place and sacrifice additional Tier 5 towers significantly increases the potential degree. This is often the easiest way to achieve Degree 100 without relying on Paragon Power Totems.
The Geraldo Advantage
Geraldo is invaluable for achieving Degree 100, especially in single-player. His Paragon Power Totems provide a direct boost to the Paragon’s degree, making it easier to reach the maximum level. Leveling Geraldo to Level 20 to maximize totem effectiveness is recommended.
The Apex Plasma Master Exception
The Apex Plasma Master, the Dart Monkey Paragon, has a unique interaction with Paragon Power Totems and the “Master Double Cross” Monkey Knowledge. If this Monkey Knowledge is active and you can purchase a second Crossbow Master for Apex Plasma Master, fewer totems are needed to reach Degree 100. Specifically, purchasing 20 Paragon Power Totems is enough if the player can purchase a second Crossbow Master for Apex Plasma Master.
Common Misconceptions
- Temple Sacrifices: Sun Temples and True Sun Gods cannot sacrifice Paragons. They also cannot sacrifice Heroes or Powers.
- Guaranteed Degree 100: Simply having a lot of Tier 5 towers is not enough. The degree depends on the specific combination of factors mentioned above.
- Paragon Points: “Paragon Points” mentioned regarding Apex Legends are unrelated to BTD6 Paragons.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What are the minimum requirements to get a Degree 100 Paragon?
The minimum requirements vary, but generally, you need a combination of maximized Tier 5 sacrifices, substantial cash investment (around $4,050,000 of cash generated), and high pop counts (around 16,200,000 pops).
2. How many Paragon Power Totems are needed for a Degree 100 Paragon?
In single-player, if the max requirements for cash and pops are met by sacrificed towers, and if the player cannot purchase a second Crossbow Master for Apex Plasma Master, then you need 20 Paragon Power Totems for degree 100. If these max requirements are met, a minimum of 45 Paragon Power Totems are needed to level a Paragon to Degree 100, that value obtainable by using the totems as supplements to the Degree 76 Paragon. Necessary totems is decreased to a minimum of 40 if given to Apex Plasma Master with Master Double Cross MK active.
3. Can you get a Level 100 Paragon solo?
Yes, it is possible to achieve a Degree 100 Paragon in single-player mode, especially with the help of Geraldo and his Paragon Power Totems.
4. Does the order of sacrifices matter when building a Paragon?
No, the order in which you sacrifice towers does not affect the final Paragon degree. The total value of the sacrifices is what matters.
5. Do buffs on sacrificed towers contribute to the Paragon degree?
Yes, buffs like Overclock or Alchemist buffs on the sacrificed towers can contribute to the overall degree, especially concerning the pop count of the affected towers.
6. Does the map difficulty affect the potential Paragon degree?
No, the map difficulty does not directly influence the potential Paragon degree. However, harder maps might provide more opportunities to accumulate pops and generate cash.
7. How do you get max Paragon points?
“Paragon Points” in other games, like Mass Effect, are unrelated to Paragons in BTD6.
8. Can TSG absorb paragons?
No, Sun Temples and the True Sun God cannot sacrifice Paragons, Heroes, or Powers.
9. What happens if you try to sacrifice a Paragon to a Sun Temple?
The Sun Temple will not accept a Paragon as a sacrifice.
10. What Paragon is after the Wizard?
The Paragon after the Wizard Monkey is the Magus Perfectus.
11. How many dart monkeys for Paragon?
The degree scales as the game progresses, so there is no set number of sacrifices that are “optimal.” In general, it is better to fuse about six or seven total Tier 5 Dart Monkeys at a minimum to get decent Paragon degrees.
12. Why can’t I get a Heirloom?
This question refers to Apex Legends, not Bloons TD 6.
13. How does co-op affect Paragon degrees?
Co-op allows for more players to contribute Tier 5 towers and cash, significantly increasing the potential Paragon degree. Coordinating sacrifices and investments with teammates is crucial.
14. Can the Ninja Kiwi team help boost degree?
While they may provide tips on strategies, the Ninja Kiwi team does not directly boost a player’s Paragon degree. Achieving Degree 100 is based on player skill and strategy.
15. Where can I learn more about game strategies and the impact of games?
