'''Essence Of Dreadbloon''' is a [[Artifact|Legendary Artifact]] in the ''[[Rogue Legends]]'' DLC for ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It causes Tier 4 or higher [[Primary]], [[Military]], [[Magic]], and [[Support]] [[tower]]s, alongside Level 15+ [[Hero|Heroes]], to be treated as all four categories at the same time (allowing all of them to be buffed by the same [[Boost]]s as well as category-exclusive buffs such as [[Primary Training (BTD6)|Primary Training]]), and allows towers to damage [[Dreadbloon (BTD6)|Dreadbloon]] even when it is immune to their original category (not including Heroes). Additionally, affected towers deal 50% more [[damage]] to [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic Bloon]]s and [[Fortified Bloon (BTD6)|Fortified Bloon]]s. It can only be obtained by defeating [[Dreadbloon (BTD6)|Dreadbloon]] on a Final Boss tile.

'''Essence Of Dreadbloon''' is a [[Artifact|Legendary Artifact]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It causes all [[Primary]], [[Military]], [[Magic]], and [[Support]] [[tower]]s to be treated as all four categories at the same time (allowing all of them to be buffed by the same [[Boost]]s as well as category-exclusive buffs such as [[Primary Training (BTD6)|Primary Training]]), and allows towers to damage [[Dreadbloon (BTD6)|Dreadbloon]] even when it is immune to their original category. It does not apply this to [[Hero]]es. Additionally, it causes all level 20 Heroes and tier 5 towers to deal 50% more [[damage]] to [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic Bloon]]s and [[Fortified Bloon (BTD6)|Fortified Bloon]]s. It can only be obtained by defeating [[Dreadbloon (BTD6)|Dreadbloon]] on a Final Boss tile.
{{BTD6 last updated|51.2|section=1}}
Essence of Dreadbloon is the most powerful Artifact in late stages of a ''Rogue Legends'' campaign as the ability to use category specific Artifacts on all Tier 4 and above upgrades and Level 15+ Heroes creates a snowball effect when the different buffs start stacking with each other, making virtually any tower capable of handling the entire defense by their own.
 
Examples of powerful combination of this Artifact include [[Sticky Situation (Artifact)|Sticky Situation]] which allows a single Glue Gunner to double the entire DPS of the setup, [[Critical Success]] grants Crit chances to all Towers, and Artifacts like Quickening, Inspiration, Precision, [[Heightened Perception]], [[Discord]], [[Overwhelming Synergy]], [[Squadron Together Strong]], [[Pure Damage]], [[Primary Specialist|Primary]] and [[Support Specialist]] provide the largest raw increases to stats. However, this category-synergizing effect also enables category-specific downsides to all Towers like increased upgrade costs from Overwhelming Synergy or Squadron Together Strong. For any subsequent artifacts, choose artifacts that have minimal of these downsides until the player reaches a critical mass of Artifacts that makes the downsides irrelevant.
 
If the player is only relying on Tier 4 or higher Towers for their campaign, it is not recommended to pick up [[Essence Of Bloonarius]] as it will reduce the [[attack speed]] of such towers; otherwise, players must consider the tradeoff of having more powerful Tier 3 or lower towers in comparison to the attack cooldown increase.


Even with this Artifact, Monkeys still cannot be placed in zones which enforce a category restriction, such as the numbered tiles in [[One Two Tree]] or the altar in [[Encrypted]]. However, this behavior has been confirmed to be a bug and will be fixed on a future update<ref>{{Cite|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/btd6/comments/1ijeqp4/comment/mbdhbzw/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button|publisher=Ninja Kiwi on Reddit|retrieved=06 feb 2025|quote=This is something that happens both on this map [Encrypted] and on One Two Tree.
