The Boomerang Paragon in BTD6, known as Glaive Dominus, is a powerful fusion of all three Tier 5 Boomerang Monkey upgrades. It excels at massive crowd control, high damage output, and late-game versatility, making it an essential choice for players aiming to dominate high rounds and boss events. This guide covers everything you need to know about abilities, strategies, and optimal use for the Boomerang Paragon in BTD6.
Glaive Dominus Abilities
- Orbiting Glaives: Spins multiple glaives around itself, hitting bloons repeatedly for massive pierce damage.
- Bleed Effect: Each hit can cause bleeding damage, allowing stacked damage over time on dense bloon clusters.
- Multi-Target Capability: Can simultaneously attack MOAB-class bloons and large groups of smaller bloons.
- Full-Map Reach: With proper placement, Glaive Dominus can cover nearly the entire map, ensuring no bloon escapes its path.
- Enhanced Paragon Degree Effects: Sacrifices increase starting power, attack speed, and overall damage output.
Optimal Strategies for Boomerang Paragon
- Sacrifice Tier 5 Boomerang Monkeys: Sacrificing additional Tier 5 Boomerangs increases the Paragon Degree, which directly boosts damage, range, and glaive rotation speed.
- Placement Is Key: Place near intersections or chokepoints to maximize the multi-directional glaive attacks.
- Combine With Support Towers: Pair with Alchemist, Glue Gunner, or Village to enhance effectiveness and ensure MOAB-class bloons are slowed or weakened.
- Boss Fights: Use its massive multi-target attacks to chip away at bosses while still handling waves of regular bloons.
- Wave Control: Particularly effective on maps with wide paths and dense bloon groups, as its spinning glaives can hit multiple targets at once.
Why Glaive Dominus Is a Top-Tier Paragon
Glaive Dominus is not just a high-damage Paragon, but also a utility powerhouse. Its ability to manage large waves and deal consistent damage to MOAB-class bloons makes it ideal for freeplay runs, CHIMPS mode, and long late-game strategies. Players who master the Boomerang Paragon can drastically reduce the number of supporting towers needed while maintaining map control.
Advanced Tips
- Monitor Paragon Degree: Higher degrees significantly increase damage and utility, so plan sacrifices carefully.
- Adapt to Map Layouts: Wide maps or multi-path layouts maximize glaive coverage, while tight maps may require repositioning.
- Pair With Ninja or Wizard Paragons: Combining Paragons enhances both single-target damage and crowd control, balancing your overall defense.
