Root of all Nature: Difference between revisions

The Root of all Nature's basic [[attack]] fires Electrified Thorns that ricochet between Bloons. Its [[attack speed]] increases the longer it attacks continuously, similar to [[Druid of Wrath (BTD6)|Druid of Wrath]]. It passively covers the track in a sentient forest that damages Bloons and grows storm trees. The storm trees attack and [[blowback]] nearby Bloons with Vinenados and are treated as [[Banana Farm (BTD6)|Banana Farm]]s. Its [[Activated Ability]], Primordial Wrath, allows it to toggle its wrathful state, which increases its [[damage]] but drains [[cash]] over time and prevents other towers from generating cash until toggled off. This Paragon also has a special interaction with [[BTD6|Obyn Greenfoot]], giving him a variety of buffs.

At Degree 1, Storm Trees are created every 10s and this rate can be buffed in the same way as the main attack (Degrees, Paragon's own buffs, [[Master Builder|Master Builder's]] Power Glove, etc.).

At Degree 1, the Vineado attack has a cooldown of 6s. The projectile has 20 pierce and deals 20 damage with +80 damage bonus towards Bosses.

Every time a round ends, a BAD Bloon is popped, or Boss Skull is defeated, the Root of all Nature produces 1 [[Life]] and $120 [[Cash]]. Similar to the Jungle's Bounty Druid the amount of income it generates can be boosted for each Banana Farm and Storm Tree in the map, depending on its maximum upgrade tier:   

* Base and Storm Trees: +$10

* Tier 1: +$20

* Tier 2: +$40

* Tier 3: +$60

* Tier 4: +$120

* Tier 5: +$120

This ability is limited to a maximum of $10,000 generation. Compared to the end-of-round generation, popping a BAD will produce half as much Cash, while triggering a Boss' Skull will produce twice the regular amount.

* '''Nature's Ward Totem''': Spawn range is doubled and placement cooldown is reduced 65%:

* '''Wall of Trees''': RBE capacity is tripled and the ability cooldown is reduced 65%.

When in Wrathful mode, Root of all Nature changes its appearance, gaining a red and black coloration that resembles Avatar of Wrath, also the main attacks's thorns and Vineados gain a red coloring. In this state the Paragon gains +35% extra range, reduces its shot spread by 80%, and a damage boost based on the total amount of leak damage on screen, similar to [[Avatar of Wrath (BTD6)|Avatar of Wrath]]. It starts at 1× when no Bloons are on the screen and scales by 0.5× for each 30,000 leak damage up to a maximum of 5× at 240,000 leak damage. Additionally, when a Boss Bloon is on the screen, each Skull of the boss counts as 50,000 leak damage.

However, while the Paragon is in Wrathful mode, it drains 1% of the players's cash every second, with a minimum of $1,000 and a maximum of $10,000, and disables all income, except its own. If the player has less than $1,000 remaining, the ability cannot be activated to switch to Wrathful mode, or, if Root of all Nature is already in that mode, it will revert to its Elemental mode without draining the remaining Cash.

Root of all Nature needs attention to its Wrathful state to make the most of its power, but given enough cash it becomes one of the highest DPS Paragons in the game. Although it is deceptively cheap for its immense DPS during Wrathful mode, it demands excessive cash generation to become strong; because of this, hypothetically, it is the most expensive paragon in the game. Only activate Wrathful mode during tough rounds and if cash generation is stable after returning to Elemental mode. As Timed Bosses only care about maximized cash generation and quick Boss kills, Root of all Nature is very powerful especially against Tier 5 Bosses.

In terms of Boss matchups, Root of all Nature is a strong counter against [[Bloonarius (BTD6)|Bloonarius]] and [[Lych (BTD6)|Lych]], due to its RBE scaling mechanics and dealing more Regrow damage, respectively. It is not as effective against [[Phayze (BTD6)|Phayze]] and [[Vortex (BTD6)|Vortex]], which both have long windows of invulnerability without additional weaknesses that Root of all Nature can take advantage of.

*It is also the cheapest of the Magic monkeys' Paragon upgrades to date, superseding the [[Ascended Shadow]].
