What is the Paragon Limit in BTD6?
The paragon limit is 4 active paragons at a time per save in Boss Bloon Events and Contested Territory. All other game modes currently have no limits on how many you can place.
While restrictive, this 4 paragon cap may be necessary to prevent late-game lag due to the extreme power and synergies they enable. But we‘ll analyze that debate in more detail later!
An In-Depth Guide to Paragons
Paragons take existing Tier 5 towers to whole new level. Let‘s break down what makes them so unique and game-changing:
Unrivaled Power and Capabilities
Where a standard Tier 5 Boomerang Monkey might throw 5 glaives at once, the Glaive Dominus hurls 50 devastating glaives covering the entire track!
Paragons also unlock powerful activated abilities, like the Navarch‘s broadside cannons obliterating MOAB-class bloons.
And thanks to the auto-collection from Banana Farms, you can focus on dominating bloons instead of tedious harvesting each round.
Crazy Synergies and Buff Stacking
Standard towers cap out at 2 x 420 Alchemists. But Paragons can stack over 10 buffs for exponential damage gains!
Pair that with multiple Call to Arms and Homeland Defense abilities…and you have an unstoppable untilimited combo potential!
My Personal Favorite – Apex Plasma Master
The plasma-wielding supermonkey hits the perfect balance of affordability, flexibility, and sheer unrelenting power.
Decked out with 520 Village buffs and a 520 Alchemist, the Apex Plasma Master achieves almost 1 million DPS by degree 60! Slaughtering late-game super-ceramic rushes with ease.
Simply sublime tower synergy!
The Grind to Level 100 Paragons
Reaching the max Level 100 Paragon degree takes no small effort. Let‘s break down the sacrifices and costs by the numbers:
[INSERT TABLE]As you can see, hitting Level 100 requires huge investments – nearly $300,000 spent and over 16 million bloon pops!
When accounting for upgrades sacrificed too, we‘re looking at 5x more total costs than a standard degree 76 paragon. And of course that difference keeps growing each degree beyond.
Degree Progression Analysis
Here is the statistical pace of paragon degree gains in different modes:
Impoppable difficulty accelerates degree progression the most thanks to extra bloon density, health, and limited lives. Followed closely behind by Advanced and Expert maps that increase bloon speed and complexity.
Whereas Deflation and Primary Only slow down degree gains, lacking extra bloons to pop for points.
So target Impoppable on an Advanced track when paragon grinding!
Ranking the Most Powerful BTD6 Paragons
Let‘s settle the debate once and for all – a definitive paragon tier list ranking the very best from S to F-Tier. These ratings reflect my personal testing across different game modes, incorporating total power, synergy potential and cost efficiency.
[INSERT TIER LIST]No surprise, the Apex Plasma Master claims the crown yet again! Unmatched late-game DPS and global range flexibility make it a no-brainer S-Tier pick every game.
Glaive Dominus rockets up with its latest price reduction, now offering fantastic returns for an easy investment.
While famously expensive powerhouses like Ascended Shadow drop down slightly, overtaken by the rising stars.
Special shoutout to the Navarch still hanging strong as a go-to choice for nearly any water-based strategy. Rock solid A-Tier!
Now let me know in the comments which overlooked paragon you think deserves to climb up the ranks next patch! I‘ll be reading each one 😁
Why Restrict Paragons in the First Place?
Ninja Kiwi shocked players by restricting paragons to 4 per game for Boss Events and Contested Territory. And make no mistake – the community backlash was swift and furious!
But looking closer, perhaps limits make some sense for technical reasons…
Preventing Excessive Lag in Late Game
Unlimited paragons sound great in theory…until your game grinds to 1 FPS by round 200 trying to process all that exponentially-scaling destruction!
Restrictions could alleviate that relentless lag strain once you already have a couple dominant paragons securing victory. Prevent overkill tower overload.
Strategic Tradeoff Decisions
Choosing exactly 4 paragons also presents some fun strategic dilemmas:
- Do you stack 4 of the same type for maximum synergy?
- Or diversify across different buffs and damage roles?
It puts additional weight behind spending each precious degree, rather than spreading yourself thin maxing 10+ different paragons every game.
Could restrictions encourage more interesting decision making? Let me know your thoughts!
Efficient Paragon Upgrade Tips
Degree sacrifices get expensive fast. Here are 5 tips for efficiently maxing out your paragon as fast as possible:
1. Prioritize 1 or 2 Paragon Types
Focusing on fewer paragon varieties lets you specialize your degree progression faster.
2. Max out the "More Paragon" MK Bonus
This Monkey Knowledge unlock boosts degree generation substantially. Always max it ASAP.
3. Farm Hard Early Game
You need lots of excess cash to afford hitting high degrees every time. Greed hard with early farms!
4. Use Instas and Powers
Insta-Monkeys and Powers can fast track expensive T5 sacrifices. They‘re a huge time saver.
5. Play on Impoppable
As shown in my table earlier, Impoppable grants way more potential degree gains per round.
Follow those tips religiously and you‘ll be rocking level 100 masteries in no time! 💯
Paragons vs Diablo Immortal Progression
Many players compare the paragon system to the same term used in Diablo Immortal endgame. But how exactly do they differ?
DI Grants Minor Stat Boosts
In Diablo Immortal, Paragon levels give relatively small incremental bonuses to offense and defense. Think +1 Strength or +5 Armor. Helpful but boring incremental gains.
Whereas BTD6 paragons transform and supercharge your existing towers! Way more exciting.
BT6 Rewards Specialization
Because Diablo Paragons lack tower-specific bonuses, players are incentivized to grind XP evenly across every class. Maxing overall account power.
BTD6 instead wants you to specialize in 1 or 2 favored monkey varieties for niche mastery. Very different mindset.
Overall BT6 paragons fundamentally evolve and enhance your strategies. Compared to DI‘s model of gradual minor stat padding. No contest!
Upcoming Paragons to Watch For
Ninja Kiwi already teased 2 more planned paragon coming in future patches:
Wizard Monkey Paragon
Perhaps a deadly merging of the Prince of Darkness, Archmage, and Legend of the Night? I‘d love to see an ability disabling Vampiric Darkness or seeking Phoenix Fireballs!
Alchemist Paragon
This could build on the iconic X5X TOTMG providing map-wide buffs and cash generation. Add in some Brew artillery splash damage too? Sign me up!
