Key New Features

• New Paragon - The Magus Perfectus! (loves casting spells) Some of you know we teased this last year, but we needed more time to balance the art and design required to make this extra special, so we are very pleased to get this live! Wizard Monkey’s Paragon is designed to be a higher level strategic Paragon with powerful ability usage similar to the Doomship.
  • The core of the Magus is a toggle to and from a Draining Beam which deals very small single target damage but absorbs graveyard mana as it damages and destroys Bloons
  • While toggled off from the Drain Beam, Magus attacks with a powerful Arcane Spike that deals massive damage to MOABs and revives Bloons it slays, while a Dark Phoenix circles overhead attacking with Firebomb breath and a radial fireball attack
  • Phoenix Explosion Ability: can be cast to consume the Paragon’s entire graveyard to set all Bloons on screen on fire for 30 seconds and summon one Zombie ZOMG for every 9000 graveyard mana consumed
  • Arcane Metamorphosis Ability: can be used to consume all graveyard mana and transform the Magus briefly into an alternate form which decimates everything with a flame cascade attack; Metamorphosis lasts longer the more mana it consumes
  • Magus was designed for armchair play so it will fill and consume graveyard mana on its own, but our goal was to create more actively controlled Paragon for those who will enjoy microing between Beam on and off and choosing which awesome Ability to unleash and when

New Awesome

• Happy Birthday BTD6 - On June 14th, BTD6 will celebrate 5 years of monkeytastic fun and strategy! We hope you’ll join us for the main menu changes, skinned Collection event, special Questing, and general celebration. Thank you for five amazing years and we’re looking forward to all the years ahead!
• New Hero Skin - Jiangshi Sauda, a fun new cross-cultural look for Sauda brainstormed by the art team, mixing inspirations from a favorite show and Chinese folklore
• New Map - Erosion
  • Community designed advanced map Erosion by “I am not an artist” ~ u/TheWiseTroll
  • TheWiseTroll’s original concept proposed land and water but when thinking about map colors and the little stories we think of behind each map, the concept of the polar bear walking back with the shrinking ice was too compelling to do anything else
• New Quests
  • Birthday Party - Pop the Party Bloon as many times as you can before it escapes
  • Blade Sauda Nowhere - Try out Sauda and learn some of her skills
  • Patch’s Cheap Chimps Challenge - Beat Logs with as little cash spent as you can
  • Striken Bad - Defeat the BAD on round 100 using First Strike. The spelling hurts us, too, you’re not the only one - but we had to do it!
• Least Cash and Least Tier Boss Events
  • We’ve heard feedback about and have been wanting to shake up Boss rules, so here we go!
  • Applying new victory conditions to Boss Events completely changes the focus while still needing the damage output and type to handle each Boss
  • Time still matters, as the secondary time score will break any ties
• New Trophy Store Items
  • Heroes: Geraldo Pack Mule pet, Quincy Spec Ops Drop In placement
  • Monkeys: Sweden Village Flag
  • Bloons: Party Hat Bloons
  • Game & UI: Vortex Avatar, Sunset Samba 64 Mix music track, Quincy Arrows banner
  • Nexus.gg Creator Supporter Avatar - show your support for Content Creators by using the Creator Support button on the Settings screen and purchasing any IAP
• Limited Time only {trophy items if there’s a seasonal}
• 5 Year Anniversary Avatar, 5 Year Anniversary Banner
• New CT Team Store items

Questions from the comments:

How the hell does the maps stay perfectly fine after nuclear weapons? Adding bananas to the payload changes everything - the monkeys are pretty committed to not destroying their worlds and habitats.
Do the monkeys get paid for what they are doing? Of course! They should be rewarded for all their hard work!
Is there a monkey children’s toy that is similar to a spike factory when you step on it? A very popular building toy is banana blocks! You can make all sorts of contraptions! But they don’t hurt monkey feet if stepped on, even if shaped like spikes. Monke genius.
Is there a bloons equivalent to Nerf? It’s the opposite, everything is hard and hurts more so nobody buys them :)
Question: What is the equivalent of bloons in our real life society? Glitter, it gets everywhere and is a mission that requires true heroes to get rid of! Monkeys also dispute this perspective of “real life.”
Is there a Dark Champion trilogy directed by Christopher Nolan in the BTD 6 universe? The Dark Champion trilogy by Christpopper Bloonlan!
Is there some kind of relationship between Lych and the Bloonchipper? since they are both... dead? No longer in production is different from “terrifying Boss Bloon ripped from Monkey nightmares!”
Can the BMA transform monkeys into bloons? If so, how did they prevent it? Shhhh! Thankfully they do not have a potion for that yet! So hoping none of the BMA’s read this week’s blog!
Does Ezili shiny hunt in pokemon? Yes! She has a shiny Gengar!
What do the monkeys of the magic faction do in their free time? Relax, watch favorite movies like Dr. Strangemonkey, research new magic, set up conjuration pranks!
Do the band colors for the tier 1 and 2s of the dart monkey give increased power to them, or do they just like the colors green and red? It’s a vibe! Wearing comfortable bands helps them pop better!
Bloonarious can control weather and vomit all types of Bloon materials, does that mean it helped in the creation of other bosses like Vortex? as Vortex usually is in what seems to be thunder storms. Vortex has always been around, watching, waiting in the storm for the best time to strike!
Does striker jones know how to rocket jump like in the game, team fortress 2? TF2? That’s a rocket jump, but not the rocket jump. Striker Jones is old school, so old school he thinks the original Quake devs stole it from him.
Is there a life after being sacrificed for adora or the temple of the sun? And if so, do they see the sun god or reincarnate as another monkey? Being subsumed by Adora, the temple or a paragon is surely the greatest thing a simple Monkey can look forward to in life!
How long has that bloonchipper been sitting in the Scrapyard? A few years now!

Questions from the comments:

Bloonarius: Is Territorial. Lych: Doesn't like Sunlight. Vortex: Gets the zoomies What have the research team discovered about Dreadbloon? Enjoys Bread.
Have dartling guns ever tried putting other projectiles in their guns? They did try some buccaneer hot shots but it did not work out!
Does psi get enough physical exercise? I know if I had psionic powers like them I would just make everything come to me instead of getting up and walking To hone the mind, they must hone the body too!
Are the Pouakai and Wizard Lord Phoenix's Phoenix buddies? Birds of a feather flock together! They are great friends, often going for long glides across the plains!
Are the Druids capable of WildShape? If so what's the most common shape, aside from Friend™? They are already pretty wild (you should see their parties!) and we think they love their own druid shapes!
So does Agent Jericho watch any of the James Bond films and if so, what are his favorites? Goldenbloon featuring Pierce Popsnan!
Do Monkey Lawyers exist? If so what do they do and what are they like? Lawyers, Doctors, Fire Fighters! All sorts of professions for young monkeys to choose from. They all help keep the world safe and moving!
Why doesn't the cave monkey go back to living in a cave? Cave monkey like nice things, Cave monkey enjoy warm beaches!
Does Benjamin have any programming side-projects he works on while he’s not fighting the Bloons? What’s he working on, and what language does he use the most? Ben is working on mastering all the programming languages, but he loves to flex his programming muscle with C#!
Do monkeys get to change their role in the war once they do choose? Also, if they do, do they need re-training? Any monkey needing a change of pace can head back to training and pick a different path!
what happens to the Bionic Boomer Boomerang Monkey? Is it a costume, or like a surgery type bit? We think it’s probably a bit of both, cybernetic enhancements plus a dashing new costume.
What was the reason that the monkeys discontinued the bloonsday device? Was it too powerful and dangerous, or are they working on a successor… As far as we know, the monkeys have been too focused on paragons!
Who figures out what bosses do to be able to give us briefing on them as soon as they attack the monkeys? And more importantly... How do they figure out their mechanics before anyone fights them? Those special monkeys at the M.I.B! They like to keep everyone updated for the best defense!
Why do the super monkeys have such a big ego. I need to know They are actually very humble day to day. They do love showing off when asked though!

Questions from the comments:

What are the shifts of the beast handler? Do they get breaks often? Apparently “Feeding Time” is supposed to happen at least 4 times a day…
How does the Lych feel when hanging out with the other bosses? That would require Bloons to have feelings
who of the heroes tells the best and the worst jokes? Best jokes goes to Benjamin and depends on what you mean by ‘worst’! If you mean dad joke bad, Striker gets that title.
What does sandbox mode feel like to the monkeys? How did they even get to sandbox mode in the first place? Sandbox mode is akin to a practice simulation, where monkeys can try out different strategies and paths before heading on for more training!
Have the beast handlers given any of there beasts names? Absolutely they have!
Has Patch ever popped a bloon? Do she have something to defend herself with? Her wit and her trusty clipboard!
How frequently will quests be added? We are looking to add them as often as we can, as long as it fits into our plans for BTD6!
Dinosaurs, the Megalodon, and the Pouakai? Where did the Beast Handlers find these mythical and even extinct beasts? Who said they were extinct? I mean you do have to search far and wide, high and low to find these types of amazing creatures!
What are the heroes living spaces like? Size, who they live with, location etc. Pat has a big pond, Ben lives in a cave with at least 5 monitors while Adora lives in a Sun Temple!
Do beast handler's birds ever confuse Etienne's drones for other birds? Thankfully not! They have been trained very well.
So ben is a master hacker clearly but has anyone ever hacked ben? And if there was another ben from another universe could that ben hack ben? How many Bens, could an alt Ben hack, if alt Bens could hack Bens?
is monkey knowledge the key to the MIB? it is monkey intelligence after all. That certainly seems plausible…
Where do the merchantmen get their income from? Trade routes!

Have a great weekend and happy gaming! -Ninja Kiwi Team

update: I tried without cash drop and with a few of the optimizations I thought of. This is indeed a VERY cheap defense that works quite well. Seen here
​
So I heard boss was really difficult this week, and not wanting to waste hours of my life, I started with a few cash drops...as a result I finished with 2.5m left over. 120 defense looks like this:
https://preview.redd.it/oqtz3b0yquoa1.jpg?width=2400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c2781a51ec4939ee6e55be64dc7a5dc2ce49de3b
I'd like to point out that this is terrible placement. Adora got rickety rekt and as a result I didn't have blood sac 1/2 the time; vtsg is even worse and stunned prolly 70% the time, so boss got unnaturally far (which you can tell by the towers that remained stunned).
Damage breakdown wise vtsg got 10m pop from 95-120, mostly 100 probably where the boss died outside the screen. Instead the best avatar placed on r119 has 830k pops (the one 2 left 1 up from homeland) with a decent amount getting 700k+.
The 2 temples top left as well as 2 temples bot right have ~50k/~1k support sac respectively for stacking discount. As a result an avatar is ~16.5k (from sell price of 12,312. No, I was not sweaty enough to village discount them or they'd be even cheaper still). Placement was once again bad so I needed 2 sets of them. Still, everything you see here is bought for probably <2.5m with huge potential for optimizing. Outside of 1.2m worth of avatars, vast majority of money is spent on sacrifices (bottom right temples have sell price of 52k!).
With a more optimized setup, including some temple shenanigans (i.e. buy 2 15k and 1k sup temple, buy 50k and 1k sup temple with discount, sell original 2), and possibly dropping vtsg entirely for 0/0/0/2 temple since it wasn't doing much anyways, and getting rid of some of the centeperimeter underperforming avatars, I think it's possible to beat this boss for definitely under 2m, maybe possibly with some luck 1.5m, almost comparable to a single (expensive, high level) paragon. After all there's still some track left and there's a lot of damage left on the table; see below.
I realized after my run that it's possible to sell towers just before a skull and rebuy them after the stun. For instance the super brittle in the middle was basically useless the majority of the time. Instead I could have sold it just before every skull and rebought just after. Sell price is 13.2k, so rebuying will cost 4.4k each time, or <31k for all 7 skulls. Failing once or twice is also not a big deal; simply blood sac the tower and buy again. Doing this 7 times would cost ~123k instead. A good chunk, but honestly quite acceptable. Avatar damage should be 14 (1 base + 1 brew + 1 embrittle + 5 cripple + 2 glue + 4 sun god), so another 4 is ~28.6% more.
​
TL;DR: paragons are convenient but might be QUITE bad gold efficiency wise. On harder weeks consider dropping them entirely? Also vortex has to be one of the worst bosses since paragons have reduced stun. I expect the difference to be even larger on other bosses (that aren't dreadbloon).

Questions from the comments:

Have you ever thought about including a question NK has for the community in blogs, at least once in a while? Which two heroes would you want to merge into one super hero? What would their powers be?
What are Hopsy, Flopsy, Button, and Dave like at home with Geraldo? Are they well behaved bunnies or are they hyper little troublemakers? They are well behaved for the most part, but be careful not to try to feed them all at the same time, or after midnight. If there was a mcdonalds equivalent in the bloons universe, what would it be called? and which hero would like it the most? Banana Express, Monkes Jr, Hungry Pats and the classic MonkDonalds with the iconic golden darts.
Do the monkeys feel scared when the player starts Odyssey without a hero on board? Do the heroes feel like they've been left behind? The monkeys aren’t too worried - they generally trust their players, even if they are flexing! Many heroes can be sad but part of that is because everybody likes a boat trip! Brickell is generally furious at being excluded from any naval mission but quickly assuaged when reminded how difficult it is to get her boat inside the other boat…drama!
Is it just the NinjaKiwi or is there other things, like a Ninja Glue gunner rat? So stealthy we don’t even know about them…
How fluent would you consider Etienne at English? Is he still learning or can confidently talk in front of a large audience? Very fluent! He does still have a strong accent but can speak English and Monkelish fluently.
Are the monkeys who get deleted on flooded valley ok? Of course, they get to go on a nice little water slide for a bit.
Did Quincy go to college? He graduated top of his class from the College of Archery.
Why won't quincy boost dart monkeys up? Gwen does it to fire. Dart monkeys want some fun too Dart Monkeys are already powerful enough! Think about putting 2 Crossbow masters together - that’s alotta damage!
Do you have a specific team at nk for handling the monklish? We had a team working on decoding it all and just one really enthusiastic lover of bad puns!
What could happen if you anger any vengeful adora Depends! Are you a bloon?
What is the boss bloon vortex scared of? Being popped, and slow cookers!
Do DDT's ever rest? While the red bloons are resting, the DDTs are training. While the pink bloons are having a break, the DDTs are training. DDTs are ready to go all the time, every time!
Where did Ezili's forehead mark come from? Did she get clipped by a lead bloon? Was it a friendly fire incident? Or does she just shave that shape into her hair intentionally? A scar from her formative years!
What happens when a monkey eats the bloon master alchemists shrink potion? The creation of small monkeys mode!
So you're saying there are scientist monkeys, if so, what do they do? Science stuff! Plenty of researchers and inventors, a whole division working with different specializations! Some even have top secret clearance for the more… confidential projects…

Questions from the comments:

Just want to give you nk a warm welcome back this year and I'm really looking for the content that is yet to come for this year. You are amazing ppl who work really hard on your games. Just wanna say keep up the good work and late happy new year <3 What a great welcome back! We love you all so much and so happy to be back!
how much monkey money did benjamin spend on his gaming chair? We will let you know once he has finished!
Does Archmage wear pants? They have a very beautiful robe, so that is the focus. And, like Scotspeople, you don’t ask Monkeys what they have on under their more stylish garments..
What would happen if the bloons got ahold of the rubber used for portable lakes? The monkeys would find sharper darts. Yes, even sharper.
Why do Ice Monkeys wear winter wear in their upgrades? I'd figure they'd be used to the cold. They like to promote good cold safety, set an example for others. Also, fashion!
What did the heroes do on Valentines Day? Spent it celebrating their loved ones and making sure everyone got a lovely gift! Pat got so many.
Did Sauda make her own blades? If not, who made them? And what are they made of? Under the tutelage of a great swordmaster, Sauda crafted her blades from scratch from a rare rock that fell from the sky!
Who is the funkiest monkey? DJ Ben! Dropping funky beats!
Has any monkey ever met Donkey Kong? Only when Pat plays him in Smash Bros!
Is Cyber Quincy a new robot Quincy, or is he half robot, half Quincy? Half robot. Half Monkey. All Quincy!
What’s Adora reaction when someone said she’s cute or Adorable? The Monkeys that know and respect her get a practiced, polite smile. There are no records of the existence of any Monkeys that don’t fit those categories have received any reactions.
What is Sauda's opinion on the Flying Fortress That is a really big plane.
Bloonarius: Big Boi, Lych: Scary Boi, Vortex: Speedy Boi. What’s Dreadbloon’s nickname? Rocky Boi? Boi you got it.
What do the monkeys think when we don't collect the bananas and let it rot? What a waste! But also now we can make banana bread!
Are there board games like chess,checkers, sorry! And if so, which hero plays the most board games? Striker and Churchill have a weekly chess game going. Brickle used to play but won too often.
I just want to say hi. Well howdy!
What does Geraldo do in his spare time like when he isn't running his shop? He loves to destress by reading a good book, finding objects for his private collection, or looking through his travel photos!
Have a great weekend and happy gaming! -Ninja Kiwi Team

Questions from the comments:

Heya, this really isn't a question but we just wanted y'all to know that we understand why the Beast Handler had to be pushed back and we're more than willing to wait for this awesome new tower! Keep up the great work over there and happy holidays to y'all at NK! :D We have been so blown away by the support from the community surrounding this and we really are grateful for the amazing support and love! We’re still super excited about the beast handler and can’t wait to share it with you once it is sufficiently more awesomer!
Does Quincy ever think about creating a cereal brand? Oh absolutely, all the time. Also, a sneaker brand, a line of branded arrows and his own popping candy… he has a lot of plans.
Does Technological Terror speak? If so, what does it sound like? /Unintelligible robot screaming/
Could the MAD hypothetically punch bloons? Hypothetically… just pop some boxing gloves over the missiles.
Is the beast handler the official name for the tower now, or is it still a placeholder? Nope, that is the official name!
If Lych was scared of Glue Rat, does that mean that Dreadbloon DREADED (pun intended) Glue rat? Haaaaa, we see what you did there!
What is Sushi Ben's specialty sushi? He has yet to find his signature dish, always on the lookout for fresh ideas!
When Adora receives a sacrifice, does it feel like eating a good meal, a surge of power, or something else entirely? Like putting a Berocca directly into your mouth.
What is Quincy's mother's name? Is it also Quincy? That’d just be weird!
Has the Prince of Darkness ever tried resurrecting ZOMGs, DDTs, and BADs? There have been attempts, but the POD does not have a high enough spell slot to control them!
Is navarch of the seas friends with Goliath doomship? There is a high level of mutual respect between them both. Each uses their unique awesomeness to help the other out!
Do voidora and galaxili have some sort of cosmic connection with eachother?
Voidora, being from the void, is the one being not connected to everything.
We know from another blog that the next paragon is gonna be the wizard. Do U have plans for the next 3 and if so can we get a riddle to tease it? We’ve got a number of cool ideas in the works but have not quite finalized which ones are next, you will just have to wait and see!
What happens to the cave monkey when the game ends? Does it freeze again? Is it introduced to the monkey society? Cave Monkey sleep too long. Cave Monkey need to catch up on world events.
Would vortex and dreadbloon have a pokemon like battle if they ever encountered each other? Some say to this day they are still taking turns using Harden & Thunder Wave. You would need to be a monarch to handle their power!
Is Professor evil the arch nemesis of dr monkey or an arch nemesis to the mayor monkey because they both look a little similar? The Professor and the Doctor have never seen eye to eye, dating back to when they shared a dorm room at college.
how do the heroes celebrate Christmas? Lots of cocoa, marshmallows and relaxation time with the fam! Let’s see what the fan art does!
Have the monkeys ever seen blizzards? And how would Gwen have dealt with one if it happened? Depending on where they train some of the monkeys have had to deal with constant Snowstorms!
What happens to the snowman pets when summer rolls around? They get their tan on!
Is there scientific reasons why different glue types doesn't stack (like a corrosive yellow glue being overridden by a MOAB Glue)? They said while testing a new formula to walk on walls, that it had to do with the density of different compounds!
Since you guys are so obsessed with Milkshakes... Are there any plans of a Milkshake Trophy Item? Are you thinking what I am thinking?!?!?
Are you sure Etienne is not from France and is from Quebec? Oui oui! Ou un grand fan du moins!
How does the boomerang monkey feel when they are stacked with 26 buffs? POWER OVERWHELMING

Questions from the comments:

what is the most mediocre pizza you've ever had? The pizza that has been in the oven without the power on!
Since we know that some monkeys can turn to the Bloon side, hence Dr. Evil, if any of the heroes were to do the same, who would most likely betray the monkeys if put under the right circumstances? They don’t call her Dark Adora for nuthin’...
why can't collection crates be stacked up for the end? are monkey not capable of carrying multiple crates? Limit 1 per monkey, terms and conditions may apply.
What are some of the btd equivalents to normal games in our world? Do they have bloon saber? Monkraft??? A big favourite is Return to Monkey Island!
Are ALL the monkeys healthy???? Of course! They have well-balanced diets!
How are ice monkeys made? Do they get put into a freezer? Or do they have a built-in device of some sorts? They are particularly hardy monkeys who enjoy cooler climes.
What was the story behind getting Tim haywood to compose your music? Why did you choose him? And where were you looking to find him? We’ve worked with Tim for so long that how that relationship started has been forgotten in time. All we know is he makes the BEST music :)
Are the beast handler's beasts really beasts, or are they something else? Like… milkshake handler?
does pat or cave monkey eat the banana peel? Pat definitely believes in making the most out of everything!
Does adora like anyone? We know quincy likes gwen, but do other heros like each other? Adora loves everyone! Especially those who are willing to make a little sacrifice *wink*wink* in her honour!
Is the beast handler the handler of tiny baby bloonchippers? Milkshake-shaped bloonchippers?
I got a question: What's with the dragon like creature on Infernal? Is it similar to the Phoenix in any way, or is it the guardian of that area? An excellent question! We’ll have to dig into the monkey archives and see if they have any reference to it. <5 minutes pass> Ok, the monkey archives didn’t have anything except for some dodgy-looking banana milkshakes.
Why does the monkey/the machine stay perfectly fine after it gets too close to it's explosion (mortar or bomb shooter for example)? Ah the wonders of monkey physics!
How does Geraldo feel when his bunnies are sold? I'd like to imagine he'd feel pretty proud of them. He always likes to know how people are getting on with his cute little bunnies. His store has a no returns policy though, so don’t complain if they start ripping things up! :)
Has any monkey tried flying a hot air balloon? I think they’d be too afraid…
What do the heroes think about rain? Which ones enjoy rain and which ones are gloomy being stuck inside? Obyn loves piña coladas and getting caught in the rain.
Does Adora ever think about going bungee jumping? That seems extremely undignified to her!
What monkey has the sickest ‘stache? Let us know in the comments your pick!
