What is a BTD6 Paragon Calculator?
A BTD6 Paragon Calculator is a tool that helps players of Bloons TD 6 determine the degree of their Paragon tower before they create it. The degree of a Paragon, which ranges from 1 to 100, is a measure of its power. A higher degree results in a more powerful Paragon with increased damage, pierce, and attack speed. The Paragon degree is calculated based on a “power” system, which takes into account various in-game factors.
BTD6 Paragon Formula and Explanation
The Paragon degree is determined by the total “power” a Paragon has. The more power, the higher the degree. The formula for calculating Paragon power is complex, but the main factors are:
- Extra Tier 5s: Having more than the required three Tier 5 towers of the same type provides a significant power boost. This is typically only possible in co-op games or with specific Monkey Knowledge.
- Non-Tier 5 Upgrades: The total number of upgrades on all sacrificed towers of the same type (excluding Tier 5 upgrades) contributes to power, up to a maximum of 100 upgrades.
- Money Spent on Sacrifices: The total cost of all sacrificed towers (excluding the three primary Tier 5s) adds power.
- Pops and Cash Generated: The total number of bloons popped by all towers of that type (including sacrificed ones) and the cash generated by them (for towers like the Monkey Buccaneer and Engineer Monkey) are major contributors to power.
- Geraldo’s Paragon Power Totems: These special items, purchased from Geraldo’s shop, provide a substantial amount of power with no limit to how many can be used.
- Cash Injected via Slider: A cash slider allows you to directly invest money into the Paragon for extra power.
| Factor | Explanation | Maximum Power Contribution |
|---|---|---|
| Extra Tier 5s | Each extra Tier 5 tower beyond the initial three. | Varies |
| Non-Tier 5 Upgrades | Total upgrades on sacrificed towers (capped at 100). | 10,000 |
| Money Spent | Total cost of sacrificed towers. | 60,000 |
| Pops | Total bloons popped (capped at 16.2 million). | 90,000 |
| Cash Generated | Total cash generated (capped at $4.05 million). | |
| Geraldo’s Totems | Each totem provides a fixed amount of power. | Unlimited |
Practical Examples
Example 1: Getting a Degree 20 Paragon
Let’s say you’re going for a Degree 20 Dart Monkey Paragon. You’ll need a certain amount of power to reach this milestone. A combination of factors will get you there. For instance, you could aim for a good number of pops on your Dart Monkeys (a few hundred thousand), have 25 0-2-2 dart monkeys for the 100 non-tier 5 upgrades and invest some money in sacrifices.
Example 2: Aiming for a High-Level Paragon
To get a very high-degree Paragon, you’ll need to maximize all power sources. This means playing into late-game rounds to accumulate a high pop count (ideally reaching the 16.2 million cap), spending a lot of money on sacrificed towers, and using Geraldo’s Paragon Power Totems, which are essential for reaching the highest degrees, especially Degree 100 in solo play.

Key Factors That Affect BTD6 Paragon Degree
- Game Mode: The costs of towers and upgrades vary between Easy, Medium, Hard, and Impoppable modes, affecting the power gained from money spent.
- Monkey Knowledge: Certain Monkey Knowledge points can influence Paragon creation, such as the ability to have two Crossbow Masters.
- Co-op Play: In co-op, multiple players can build Tier 5 towers, making it easier to get extra Tier 5s for a power boost.
- Geraldo: This hero is crucial for achieving the highest Paragon degrees due to his Paragon Power Totems.
- Farming: Efficiently farming cash is essential for affording the expensive upgrades and sacrifices needed for a high-degree Paragon.
- Early Game Pops: Placing your primary towers early on will allow them to accumulate a high pop count over the course of the game.
