'''Temple Sacrifice''' is a game mechanic for the Temple Of The Monkey God in ''[[Bloons TD 5]]'', ''[[Bloons TD Battles]]'', and ''[[Bloons Monkey City]]''. Upgrading a [[Super Monkey]] into a Temple Of The Monkey God sacrifices all [[tower]]s within the Temple's range, granting it additional [[attack]]s depending on the types of towers sacrificed and enhancing its attacks based on the total amount of [[cash]] that was invested into the towers it sacrificed. Regardless of [[difficulty]], creating a maxed-out Temple requires sacrificing at least $30,000 worth of each of the following:

*[[Bomb Shooter]]s and/or [[Mortar Monkey]]s (cumulative)

*[[Ice Monkey]]s

*[[Glue Gunner]]s

*[[Monkey Apprentice]]s

*[[Wizard Monkey|Monkey Apprentice]]s

*Any combination of other towers

It costs $150,000 total to max out all five tiers for all five sacrifice categories.

It costs at least $150,000 total to max out all five tiers for all five sacrifice categories.

==Mechanics==

The enhancements ~~a Temple gains~~ from sacrificing depends on the ~~types~~ of towers sacrificed and the total amount of cash spent on those towers. When sacrificed, ~~a tower adds~~ its ~~total~~ cash value (the same metric that determines its [[sell]] value) to ~~the sacrifice value~~ of ~~its corresponding~~ category, ~~which then determines~~ the ~~level~~ of ~~benefits gained from that~~ category. There are five ~~different~~ categories of sacrifices, each with five ~~tiers of sacrifices~~. ~~Creating a~~ maxed-out Temple ~~requires having enough cash invested across~~ all five categories of ~~towers in order for~~ each category ~~to reach level 5~~.

The enhancements Temples gain from sacrificing towers depends on two factors: the kinds of towers sacrificed, and the total amount of [[cash]] spent on those towers and their upgrades. When a tower is sacrificed, its cash value (the same metric that determines its [[sell]] value) contributes to one of five different categories. The total amount contributed to a category determines that category's level. Each category unlocks an additional attack for the Temple, and the strength of the attack depends on the category's level.

{|class="wikitable"

There are five categories of sacrifices, each with five levels. A maxed-out Temple has all five categories of sacrifices at level 5, which requires a minimum of $30,000 contributed to each category. While tower and upgrade costs change based on [[discount]]s and [[difficulty]], the cash investment required per threshold is always the same.

In ''[[Bloons Monkey City]]'', the Super Monkey's [[Monkey Knowledge (BMC)|Monkey Knowledge]] multiplies the value of sacrificed towers by 10% starting at rank 5, effectively reducing the amount of cash required to meet each threshold. The multiplier increases to 20% at rank 10 and 30% at rank 15.

In ''[[Bloons Monkey City]]'', the Super Monkey's [[Monkey Knowledge (BMC)|Monkey Knowledge]] multiplies the value of sacrificed towers by 10% starting at rank 5, effectively reducing the amount of cash required to meet each threshold by roughly 9.1%. The multiplier increases to 20% at rank 10, reducing the cash requirements by roughly 16.7%, and to 30% at rank 15, reducing the cash requirements by roughly 23.1%.

Unless otherwise stated, the effects of sacrifices are the same between all games of the same system. That is, the sacrifice effects in the Flash versions of ''[[Bloons TD 5 (Flash)|Bloons TD 5]]'', ''[[Bloons TD Battles (Flash)|Bloons TD Battles]]'', and ''[[Bloons Monkey City (Flash)|Bloons Monkey City]]'', as well as ''[[Bloons TD 5 Deluxe]]'', are almost identical between each game, and the sacrifice effects in the mobile versions of ''[[Bloons TD 5 (~~mobile~~)|Bloons TD 5]]'', ''[[Bloons TD Battles (~~mobile~~)|Bloons TD Battles]]'', and ''[[Bloons Monkey City (~~mobile~~)|Bloons Monkey City]]'', as well as the {{console version of|Bloons TD 5}}, are completely identical between each game. There are slight differences in sacrifice effects between the Flash games and mobile games.

==Strategy==

For [[freeplay]] setups in ''BTD5'' and [[Contested Territory (BMC)|Contested Territory]] setups in ''BMC'', maxing out sacrifices is vital for scoring the highest possible rounds, though the sacrifices are mostly only good for the buffs they grant to the main attack. In the Flash games, the missile attack is the only additional attack that has any meaningful impact on the Temple's damage output, and in the mobile and console games, none of the additional attacks have much significance by themselves.

===Example setups===

====Bloons TD 5====

====Bloons Monkey City====

Assuming no monkey knowledge discounts or sacrifice contribution increases, it is impossible to reach the final tier of sacrifice for the Apprentice category on all temples. Therefore the sacrifices go as follows:

*Two 4-2 [[The Big One (BMC)|The Big One]]s and one 4-2 [[Bloon Impact (BMC)|Bloon Impact]]

*Three 4-2 [[Viral Frost (BMC)|Viral Frost]]s (note that this will prevent players from using [[Absolute Zero (BMC)|Absolute Zero]] to stall [[ZOMG (BMC)|ZOMG]]s on the {{multiplat version|Bloons Monkey City}})

*Two 4-2 [[Bloon Liquefier (BMC)|Bloon Liquefier]]s

*One 4-2 [[Tempest Tornado (BMC)|Tempest Tornado]]

*Three 4-2 [[Glaive Lord (BMC)|Glaive Lord]]s or six 4-2 [[Ring Of Fire (BMC)|Ring Of Fire]]s, as neither tower is useful in later rounds.

With Rank 15 knowledge in Super Monkeys, it becomes possible to reach the final tier of the Apprentice category, as well as overall decreasing the requirements for the others.

*Two 4-2 [[The Big One (BMC)|The Big One]]s

*Two 4-2 [[Viral Frost (BMC)|Viral Frost]]s

*One 4-2 [[Bloon Liquefier (BMC)|Bloon Liquefier]] and one 2-4 [[Glue Striker (BMC)|Glue Striker]]

*Two 4-2 [[Tempest Tornado (BMC)|Tempest Tornado]]s

*Two 4-2 [[Glaive Lord (BMC)|Glaive Lord]]s or five 4-2 [[Ring Of Fire (BMC)|Ring Of Fire]]s

 ==Strategy==
+For [[freeplay]] setups in ''BTD5'' and [[Contested Territory (BMC)|Contested Territory]] setups in ''BMC'', maxing out sacrifices is vital for scoring the highest possible rounds, though the sacrifices are mostly only good for the buffs they grant to the main attack. In the Flash games, the missile attack is the only additional attack that has any meaningful impact on the Temple's damage output, and in the mobile and console games, none of the additional attacks have much significance by themselves.
 ===Example setups===
+====Bloons TD 5====
+{{Strategy needed}}
+====Bloons Monkey City====
+Assuming no monkey knowledge discounts or sacrifice contribution increases, it is impossible to reach the final tier of sacrifice for the Apprentice category on all temples. Therefore the sacrifices go as follows:
+*Two 4-2 [[The Big One (BMC)|The Big One]]s and one 4-2 [[Bloon Impact (BMC)|Bloon Impact]]
+*Three 4-2 [[Viral Frost (BMC)|Viral Frost]]s (note that this will prevent players from using [[Absolute Zero (BMC)|Absolute Zero]] to stall [[ZOMG (BMC)|ZOMG]]s on the {{multiplat version|Bloons Monkey City}})
+*Two 4-2 [[Bloon Liquefier (BMC)|Bloon Liquefier]]s
+*One 4-2 [[Tempest Tornado (BMC)|Tempest Tornado]]
+*Three 4-2 [[Glaive Lord (BMC)|Glaive Lord]]s or six 4-2 [[Ring Of Fire (BMC)|Ring Of Fire]]s, as neither tower is useful in later rounds.
+With Rank 15 knowledge in Super Monkeys, it becomes possible to reach the final tier of the Apprentice category, as well as overall decreasing the requirements for the others.
+*Two 4-2 [[The Big One (BMC)|The Big One]]s
+*Two 4-2 [[Viral Frost (BMC)|Viral Frost]]s
+*One 4-2 [[Bloon Liquefier (BMC)|Bloon Liquefier]] and one 2-4 [[Glue Striker (BMC)|Glue Striker]]
+*Two 4-2 [[Tempest Tornado (BMC)|Tempest Tornado]]s
+*Two 4-2 [[Glaive Lord (BMC)|Glaive Lord]]s or five 4-2 [[Ring Of Fire (BMC)|Ring Of Fire]]s
