Paragons in Bloons TD 6 are the ultimate powerhouses, fusing all three Tier 5 paths of a tower into a single, unstoppable unit. Unlocking and upgrading a Paragon requires strategy, planning, and careful resource management. Here’s a complete guide on how to get and upgrade Paragons in BTD6, so you can maximize your late-game potential.
Step 1: Choose Your Tower
Before obtaining a Paragon, decide which tower you want to upgrade. Popular choices include:
- Dart Monkey (Apex Plasma Master)
- Ninja Monkey (Ascended Shadow)
- Boomerang Monkey (Glaive Dominus)
- Monkey Buccaneer (Navarch of the Seas)
- Monkey Ace (Goliath Doomship)
- Engineer Monkey (Master Builder)
- Wizard Monkey (Magus Perfectus)
Each Paragon has unique strengths and optimal roles, so select one that complements your strategy.
Step 2: Upgrade All Three Paths to Tier 5
A Paragon can only be created from a tower with all three Tier 5 upgrades unlocked. This requires significant investment, both in-game cash and proper planning:
- Max out each upgrade path individually.
- Ensure you have the required number of towers available for sacrifices.
Sacrifices are crucial, as higher-tier towers increase the Paragon’s starting power and abilities.
Step 3: Sacrifice Other Towers
To create a Paragon, you must sacrifice additional Tier 5 towers of the same type. The number of sacrifices affects:
- Starting cash for the Paragon
- Initial Paragon Degree (power level)
- Additional bonuses like damage and range
Careful timing of sacrifices ensures you don’t weaken your defense during late-game rounds.
Step 4: Place Your Paragon
Once prerequisites are met, place the Paragon on the map. Its power scales with Paragon Degree, so try to build it in a strategic location where it can:
- Cover multiple paths
- Hit MOAB-class and boss bloons effectively
- Utilize map-wide abilities
Step 5: Upgrade and Maintain Your Paragon
Paragons gain strength over time and through continuous gameplay and sacrifices. Key tips include:
- Focus on late-game rounds to maximize DPS
- Pair with supportive towers to protect against heavy bloon waves
- Adjust placement based on map layout and bloon paths
Pro Tips for Paragon Optimization
- Build tier 5 towers early in preparation for Paragon creation.
- Consider which Paragon best fits your strategy: DPS, utility, or map control.
- Sacrifice wisely; losing a tower mid-game can be risky.
- Monitor bloon types: some Paragons excel against bosses, others against large swarms.
