This is where I do Legends-related stuff before it is ready for main
Rogue Legends presents a higher level of challenge compared the base game due its mechanics, the random nature of rogue-likes, the variety of maps and the harder rounds, so players need to adapt to a different playstyle if they wish to conquer the campaigns.
random encounter article I guess
Since there are different objectives to be reached, this strategy guide is divided in four parts:
{{Distinguish||text=[[Bloon Encounter (Frontier Legends)|Bloon Encounters]], which are the regular tower defense games}}{{Lede image|BTD6 EncountersDice.png|Dice icon that represents Random Encounters}}
* Regular campaign: For players that are just starting and wish to learn the mechanics in deep and start beating campaigns as consistently as possible.
'''Random Encounters''' are a game mechanic in the [[Frontier Legends|''Frontier Legends'']] DLC of ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. As their name suggest, these are events that can happen at random while the player explores the Frontier, upon encountering one, the player will be presented with a description of the situation and one of more options of what [[Sheriff (BTD6)|Sheriff]] or his Posse can do in response. After selecting one there can be a variety of outcomes, including gaining or losing resources such as [[Bananite]], [[Stamina]] or consumable items, modifying [[Trait|Traits]] of the [[Ranch Hand|Ranch Hands]], losing members of the Posse, or even no consequences at all.
* CHIMPS (XP farming): Players need around 170,000 XP to max every single upgrade in the shop and an optimal way of doing so is playing in CHIMPS mode with a high number of Curses.
* CHIMPS (High stages): One of the main reasons to play CHIMPS is to simply reach the highest stage possibly, here players will encounter Bloons that are even stronger than their Freeplay counterparts, and unlike it, the players must build a powerful enough defense in every single encounter on a wide variety of maps.
* Artifact extraction: For the people who seek to unlock everything in the game, this section discusses a possible strategy focused on extracting Artifacts quickly.
== Regular campaign ==
For people that is just starting in Rogue Legends, it is recommended to just pick up their favorite Hero and start a campaign to become used to the game mechanics, paying attention to the early game rounds, the Artifact and Boost system and the movement across the map, and getting used to the special tiles.
After they are familiar with the mechanics, players can now focus on beating a the campaign, and in order to achieve that, they need a strong party that can handle the much more difficult rounds, and for this, they should check they can deal with any type of Bloon, most importantly:
== Mechanics ==
Random encounters can be triggered by performing certain actions within the DLC and when it triggers, that type of encounter cannot be triggered again for a certain amount of time, most random situations are exclusive to certain triggers:
* Cover all types of Bloons including [[Zebra Bloon (BTD6)|Zebra]], [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead]] and [[Purple Bloon (BTD6)|Purple]].
* [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo]] detection, specially for the Bloons described above.
* Moderate to high pierce for dense rounds, specially [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic]] rushes.
* [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class]] damage.
* And as the campaign advances, defense of of multiple lanes, [[DDT (BTD6)|DDT]] damage and counters for the [[Boss Bloon|Boss]].
For example if the player selects [[Quincy (BTD6)|Quincy]] as its Hero (0-0-3 [[Dart Monkey (BTD6)|Dart]], 0-0-2 [[Boomerang Monkey (BTD6)|Boomerang]]) the player can perform the following analysis:
* Dart Monkey and Quincy himself can deal with Camo Zebras and Puples, and even Camo Leads with the Splody Darts Artifact in addition to Quincy's Exploding Arrows.
* Top path Boomerang can deal with dense Ceramic rushes, but has no Camo detection.
* Middle (or bottom) path Boomerang is decent against MOAB-Class Bloons, and with Artifacts or Camo support and support in the future it can also deal with DDTs.
* Only one Boomerang is provided so we can't deal with both Ceramic rushes and MOABs at the same time.
* As the campaign progresses more help against Camo Leads and DDTs will be needed because Quincy will fall in power and Splody Darts might not be reliable enough with the random chance of happening.
We now know our main weaknesses, so a tower that can deal with MOABs and another with high pierce and Camo detection will be good additions to the party, an example of a tower that can handle both could be a [[Mermonkey (BTD6)|Mermonkey]] that can be upgraded into a 4-0-2 [[Abyssal Warrior]] or 0-4-2 [[Arctic Knight]], with the later probably being preferred as it can also solve our future Camo Lead problem and will also do heavy damage to any Boss with its ability, with the exception of [[Blastapopoulos (BTD6)|Blastapopoulos]].
Other options that can help are [[Wizard Monkey (BTD6)|Wizard Monkeys]] that can be upgraded to a 0-3-2 and handle both MOAB-Class damage will help against rushes or oven a [[Spike Factory (BTD6)|Spike Factory]] to upgrade on a 1-3-0 for MOAB-Class damage or 3-2-0 to handle Ceramics.
Some early game Towers or Artifacts that can be used to complement a defense are the following:
|It is triggered when Sheriff interacts or collides with a Monkey NPC with simpler facial features from the Legends art style. It will spawn within 10 tiles from Sheriff and run towards him.
|When Sheriff is defeated there is a 10% chance of triggering a Random Encounter upon returning to the Campfire
|60 minutes
|}
|}
As the campaign continues, keep adding towers that cover the detected weaknesses of the team and an answer to the current boss. Starting on Stage 2, players also need to have 3 to 4 low tier towers that can be dropped with the starting cash to cover multi-lane maps, specially on [[Expert]] maps, otherwise, it is advised to just skip those encounters. On stages 3 and 4 Artifacts start to become more relevant than the type of towers in the party as with the accumulation of Artifact buffs reaches a critical amount that makes virtually any tower work.
When an Encounter is triggered, the player will be presented with a text box describing the situation and one or more buttons that represents the actions that Sheriff or his Posse members can do in response. In some scenarios, selecting a specific option will not always result in the same consequence, as some of them have a table of different outcomes with predefined chances of happening.
Tier 5 and other expensive towers should be taken with caution, as it will be nearly impossible to afford them during a game unless the player is facing a Mini Boss or the Final Boss , and in the later case, only towers cheaper than 25,000 cash should be taken, otherwise, those Tier 5 towers are just wasting a party slot. Also, [[Essence Of Bloonarius]], [[Essence Of Dreadbloon]] and [[Essence Of Phayze]] are usually always worth taking over any Tier 5 reward.
If the Posse has Monkeys with the {{BTD6 trait|Fortunate}} or {{BTD6 trait|Happy-go-lucky}} the game will perform an additional RNG rolls (up to the number of Towers with the trait) if the outcome of the Random Encounter is not considered to be the "positive" one.
=== Mini Games ===
=== Lost Monkeys ===
{{Research|Determine what happens when 4 monkeys are lost, is the oldest one lost forever or does the game not present wiht more of such events at all?|section=y}}
When the Posse loses a member, the tower will not be completely lost, instead, when Sheriff enters an Area there is a 30% chance that the lost Monkey will appear somewhere at that location and if it triggers, it will stay there until Sheriff interacts with it which starts another Random Encounter where the player can decide to welcome the Tower back to the Ranch Hands, dismiss it or come back later. Up to 4 Monkeys can be lost at the same time.
==== Races ====
== List of Random Encounters ==
In early stages, getting great scores is very party dependent, but in general, towers that do well in regular races will also do well in Rogue Legends if they have support that cover their weaknesses (ex. [[Blade Maelstrom (BTD6)|Blade Maelstrom]] needs both Lead and Camo popping power as soon as possible). In stage 1 is usually safe to send up to 3 rounds at the same time if the towers have enough pierce, otherwise, it is better to send rounds at a slower, but steady pace and aim for a lower reward.
Notes:
In later stages, even with a high amount of Artifact and powerful towers, sending many rounds at once is not advised as it easy to get pierce capped, and also DDT's, Fortified ZOMGs and BADs are dangerous threats, specially if they pop near the end of the track.
* <code>MONKEY</code> refers to a member of the Posse.
* <code>TOWER</code> and <code>APE</code> will be used if a second or third member is involved.
==== Endurance Race ====
* <code>RECRUIT</code> refers to a random-generated Tower (like the ones at the Saloon).
The following table contains the recommended final round to be sent to reach each goal, this assumes no previous Bloon Encounters in the stage but this is compensated by the natural MOAB health scaling of Rogue Legends, however on the early stages it might be necessary to send a couple more rounds in difficult maps as the MOAB-Class Bloons will have less health than normal.
* <code>TRAIT</code> represents a random trait.
* <code>#</code> represents a random number of rounds
The final round should be sent about 1 minute before the timer expires so it can be popped on time. Players can also send several rounds during the final seconds to boost the score by popping the weaker Bloons as the larger ones will not be able to reach the exit, but is recommended to exercise caution to avoid being pierce capped by the faster Bloons, specially Purples or DDT's.

=== Least Cash ===
In most cases, players can play this as a regular Bloon Encounter, remembering that it will go for longer than regular encounters, so players need to have MOAB-Class damage ready earlier. This Mini-Game actually gets a fairly bit easier if the player has played several Bloon Encounters prior to the tile, as the amount of cash that the players can spend increases significantly with the amount of Encounters played. On later stages, specially if the player has Essence of Bloonarius, defenses can get pretty cheap by just using tier 3 or lower towers.
=== Mini Bosses ===
The speed on which the player can obtain the first few pops pretty much determines the outcome of the game as the amount of cash awarded per pop can snowball very quickly into expensive towers and upgrades that damage the Boss faster, grating more cash, or the opposite outcome is that the player just can't damage the Boss fast enough and by the time it gets a few pops, the Boss is already halfway across the track. In stage 1 is difficult to obtain anything other than the Common goal but it gets easier on later stages when the players can put more powerful towers right at the start of the game.
Defense against regular spawns can be pretty much ignored as the [[Phayze One]] round set is much, much easier than the [[List of rounds in Rogue Legends|Rogue Legends set]] so towers can focus on the boss and pop any other Bloon with just the pierce of the attacks.
=== Final Boss ===
Is important to prepare for the Final Boss as soon the stage starts, as unprepared parties will quickly fold to it. In general, players will need towers that cover three roles: Boss damage, counters to Boss abilities, and regular spawn defense / cleanup. In general players can mimic similar defenses to the ones used for Tier 1-3 in [[Boss Bloon Event|Boss Events]].
* '''[[Strategy:Bloonarius (BTD6)|Bloonarius]]''': Towers with high pierce to handle the ceramic rushes from a skull during the early stages, and in the late game, towers and artifacts should be powerful enough to handle Bloonarius and its spawns as long the player covers the entire track.
* [[Strategy:Vortex (BTD6)|'''Vortex''']]: Attacking it from afar is the most reliable strategy, but if the player can't get the right towers or has bad luck with the map, it is important to split the defensive setup so the regular spawn towers doesn't get stunned, specially on short maps.
* '''[[Strategy:Dreadbloon (BTD6)|Dreadbloon]]''': Prepare towers of two different categories to deal with the immunity phases and the [[Dreadrock Bloon|Dreadrock Bloons]], a Primary setup is recommended. Using artifacts like [[Unification]], [[Conscription]], [[Monkey Academy (BTD6)|Monkey Academy]] and [[Master of all Trades]] allows towers to always damage Dreadbloon, regardless of its immunity.
* [[Strategy:Phayze|'''Phayze''']]: Camo detection and towers with global range or that can follow Phayze around the track are always useful and it is also recommended to have high pierce towers or place regular defense in the back of the track to handle the regular spawns in a very short distance as Phayze advances. It is not recommended to use Towers or Artifacts that grant camo detection or strip it from Phayze and use towers with inherent detection instead, as Phayze's Radar Jam can leave the player in a very precarious position if it is enabled at the wrong time.
* [[Strategy:Blastapopoulos (BTD6)|'''Blastapopoulos''']]: Keep in mind its Purple Bloon immunities and place towers near to the track so they can still see the incoming Bloons with the range reduction, it is also recommended to bring [[Spike Factory (BTD6)|Spike Factories]] to protect the exits from the regular spawns during an overheat. Ability cooldown reduction is not really an issue as it can be easily countered by Artifacts and Boosts.
In general, the players should focus on defending the regular spawns first, specially because starting on Stage 2, the battle can happen on [[Expert]] maps with no prior warning. But players also need to keep in mind it is always possible to simply get unlucky and get extremely hard combination of Boss and Map that makes the fight almost impossible.
== CHIMPS (XP farming) ==
Obtaining all possible upgrades from the Rogue XP shop requires a little over 170,000 XP, so an efficient way to obtaining enough XP is to play CHIMPS mode with a high amount of curses and reaching the highest stage possible as the largest source of XP are Final Bosses. In general, 3 to 4 campaigns reaching stages 15-20 are usually enough to obtain the necessary XP. In the following table is a list of all curses and a recommendation if the player should or should not enable them XP farming runs.

|Low Stamina
|50%
|10
|Yes
|Adding two more rounds to the tower cooldowns is mostly irrelevant if the Monkeys in the party are strong enough as the player might not even need to place additional towers at all mid-game with enough Artifacts.
|Chests are a usually a better way to get artifacts in general and Mini Games / Bosses become easier on later stages so the need to obtain Artifacts from the Merchant is lessened, but players can play without this curse if needed, before they obtain enough starting tokens from the XP Shop.

|No Selling
|50%
|10
|Yes
|Standard CHIMPS rule, in most situations if the player is in a position where selling a tower is really needed, it means the party is really flawed in the first place and is likely that the campaign is not going to go too much further.
|The early stages the most difficult part of the run, so there is no need to make them even harder. Also is sometimes refreshing to see easier maps often to reduce the stress caused by the harder maps and the risk of losing the last few hearts before reaching a Camp Fire.

|No Boosts

|20
|Mostly yes
|Like with the No Selling curse, if the player reaches a position where they depend entirely on boosts, something has gone wrong before reaching this point.
|This will limit the Artifact reward options and adding some RNG to the run, but not to the point where the player will lose because of this. Even with no rerolls, it will be nearly impossible to see a situation where all Artifact reward options are detrimental. Also, with Boosts being disabled, so there's even less of a necessity to reroll. If enabled it should not be enabled with Choice Starved.

|Direct farming via Banana Farms and cash-generating abilities aren't great in Rogue Legends as the encounters won't last long enough to see the benefit of farming, so there's very little downside to have this curse active.

|Small Party
|50%
|25
|Depends
|A party of 3 monkeys is just asking to lose in the mid-game or to a map like Dark Castle or Ravine, so this curse should be disabled until the player upgrades Max Party Size at least a couple times.
|Chests are usually the main source of Artifacts so reducing the amount of choices available makes the run much more RNG dependent, as only one option will be available.

|Low Knowledge
|65%*
|35
|Depends
|Players that are just starting the DLC won't have many XP Shop upgrades on the first place, so there is virtually no downside to this curse, later, the player should evaluate if having easier and quicker campaigns is better than the 35% increase from this curse. Once the player is familiar enough with the game, is probable that they don't need the XP Shop upgrades on the first place.
|}
The XP Shop upgrades that help the most with XP farming are the following, so they should be prioritized before the others:
The first few stages are the most difficult as is when the curses will really limit what the player can do, so it is recommended to start with a strong party that can breeze through the first few stages, for example:
* [[Obyn Greenfoot (BTD6)|Obyn Greenfoot]] with [[Growing Steady]] artifact, using it in addition with 2-0-3 [[Druid of Wrath (BTD6)|Druid of Wrath]] can easily defeat the early game, only leaving the party with a Camo weakness before Obyn reaches Level 8, in the meanwhile, it can be solved by bringing artifacts like [[General's Disposition]] or [[Crow's Nest]] + [[Portability]] or a tower that can handle them like a [[Spike Factory]].
* [[Admiral Brickell (BTD6)|Admiral Brickell]] with [[Full Broadside]] and [[Corrosive Torp-E-Darts]]. Using the Portable Lake to place the water towers makes this a extremely powerful defense as the starting sub can be upgraded to [[Submerge and Support (BTD6)|Submerge and Support]] which in combination with [[Corrosive Torp-E-Darts]] can handle any type of small Bloons, while the Buccaneers pop MOAB-Class by upgrading them into [[Destroyer (BTD6)|Destroyers]] or [[Monkey Pirates (BTD6)|Monkey Pirates]].
During this part of the campaign, it is recommended to not try to force an strategy and just keep along with what the game provides. On stage 1, the player should visit a couple of special tiles to start the Artifact collection, however, players should usually not greed this stage unless they are confident they can deal with strong Bloons like Fortified [[ZOMG (BTD6)|ZOMGs]] or [[DDT (BTD6)|DDTs]]. After obtaining a few Artifacts, specially [[Essence Of Bloonarius]] or [[Essence Of Dreadbloon]], the players can now take greedy routes in stages 2-4 to get as many Artifacts as possible.
=== Mid-game (Stages 6-10) ===
The difficulty of these stages is heavily dependent on the player's Artifact luck in stages 1-5, so if players are still struggling against difficult rounds, maybe is better to take a route that can pass through many Chests and Merchants as possible to keep amassing Artifacts, and using Camp Fire to upgrade existing Artifacts and recruiting new Monkeys. Otherwise, if the artifacts were good enough to the point any Bloon Encounter is trivial, the player can just speedrun through the stage by skipping Bloon Encounters and only using healing at Fire Camps.
=== Late game (Stages 11+) ===
At this point, the player should have a good amount of the best Artifacts of the game so pretty much any tower can be overpowered, so players can experiment with many different types of towers to see what works and what doesn't, and also check which combination produce high amounts of lag. From this point it is recommended to rush through stages to reach the Final Boss as quickly as possible.
== CHIMPS (Freeplay / High stages) ==
To reach a high of a stage as possible, players must be prepared face games where the Bloons scale much faster than in typical [[Freeplay]] gameplay. Compared to typical end-game Freeplay runs, the main similarities and differences are:
* Bloon / MOAB health is much higher, and scale faster past Stage 5, the player will be facing [[Double HP MOABs]] in most Bloon Encounters around Stage 10, and will reach 5× health on Stage 20, 10× by Stage 30 and 20× by Stage 40. Speed scale slower but Bloons will still move twice as fast than normal around Stage 35. All this speed and health scaling will be on top of regular Freeplay scaling.
* After Round 145, the round generation will be the same as in Freeplay, the scaling of Health, speed, status effect duration and cash per pop is also the same an in Freeplay.
* Tier 5 towers and Paragons are practically unavailable in Rogue Legends, so defenses are typically composed of Tier 3 towers helped by [[Essence Of Bloonarius]] until the player can afford the upgrades.
* Almost all the popping power will come by the combined effects of all Artifacts in the player's inventory. Allowing towers to attack extremely trash, have practically global range, and doing heavy amounts of damage.
* The main threats will still be [[BAD (BTD6)|BADs]], but DDTs and Fortified DDTs are also dangerous in shorter maps, however thanks to the power of Artifacts, anything that isn't a BAD can be permanently stalled by the appropriate towers.
Thanks to the power of Artifacts, nearly any tower can be used as DPS with very few exceptions, but is preferred to choose towers that have great Tier 3 upgrades that benefit from attack speed and damage upgrades. The main DPS towers should be kept at Tier 3 after obtaining [[Essence Of Bloonarius]] and only get upgraded when both the Tier 4 and 5 upgrades can be purchased at the same time. Some examples include:
The selection of Hero in high stage Rogue Legends will almost be exclusively based on their Level 20 support capabilities (when not using [[One Monkey Army]]), alternate skins only modify the starting party and artifacts, and they have no impact on high stages.

|Benjamin is the most efficient farm on the game in late stages, producing $5,000 Cash per round for free, players can easily use that cash to deploy their Tier 5 towers very reliably, while Biohack is an useful ability in the early game and Syphon Funding can remove a lot of RBE from the spawns. However, as it does not provide any offensive capability, players might struggle at the start of an encounter before its Cash generation can payoff.
|Obyn's passive abilities provide a general boost to [[Magic]] towers, specially [[Druid (BTD6)|Druids]] and Brickell does the same for [[Monkey Buccaneer (BTD6)|Buccaneers]] and [[Monkey Sub (BTD6)|Subs]] with her Naval Tactics ability. So they are the Heroes of choice if the player uses such towers.

Regardless of the main DPS tower selected these towers excel to provide utility to any party.
|With enough artifacts, a 5-2-0 Cripple MOAB can stall permanently nearly any amount of Bloons that are not BADs, essentially acting as a filter, and has enough fire power to pop them on time, on high enough stages, it can handle the early round defense by its own, letting BADs leak with [[Cats Meow]] while the players saves enough money for the main defense, after that it can help wit the DDTs that spawn from popped BADs. [[One Shot]] helps to pop Bloons faster and its attack speed drawback is not enough to keep this tower from doing its job. A 0-2-5 [[Elite Defender (BTD6)|Elite Defender]] with [[Rubber Bullets]] or Maim MOAB can be used as a cheaper alternative, but they won't be able to pop the Bloons they stall.

[[Call to Arms (BTD6)|Call to Arms]] can also benefit from ability cooldown bonus to have a higher uptime.
|These towers provide general boosts to the main defense. The Alchemist is really useful in the early and mid-game for a general utility tower and in combination with [[Home Brew Alchemy]] and other attack speed buffs, a single Alchemist can keep up the buffs on one or two towers all the time.

==Trivia==
== Artifact extraction ==
[[File:BTD6_frontier_two_piercing_pearls.png|200px|thumb|Two Piercing Pearl NPCs, one for the lost Ranch Hand (left) and one for the non-interactable NPC (right)]]
To efficiently extract Artifacts it is recommended to do short campaigns, usually ending after beating the stage 1 Final Boss which can be reached quickly by sacrificing hearts to skip Bloon Encounters. Higher rarity Artifacts can be obtained by upgrading Commons at a Camp Fire or by beating Mini Games and Mini Bosses.
*If Piercing Pearl or Quickshot Clyde get lost from a Random Encounter, their non-interactable NPCs still appear in [[Sandytown]]. These Ranch Hands can spawn in Sandytown after being lost, causing there to be two Piercing Pearl or Quickshot Clyde NPCs in the same area (though only the NPC representing the lost Ranch Hand is interactable).
{{clear|right}}
Before starting it is recommended to first extract all Hero Artifacts, this can be done by beating Stage 1 with each Hero Skin and extracting it upon defeating the Boss, this also allows to familiarize with the mechanics and the overall power needed to beat the first encounters and Final Boss and farm some Rogue XP. Players should also keep an eye on the [[Growing Steady]], [[General's Disposition]] and [[One Monkey Army]] Artifacts and obtain them in the first available opportunity.
==Navigation==
{{BTD6 legend nav}}
=== Recommended party ===
The following party has been selected for its ability to quickly clear stage 1 in nearly any situation while remaining strong in higher stages if the map difficulty is reasonable.
* Hero: [[Joan of Arc Adora|Joan of Arc]] [[Adora]] (0-0-2 [[Ninja Monkey (BTD6)|Ninja Monkey]], 0-0-1 [[Boomerang Monkey (BTD6)|Boomerang Monkey]] and [[Heroic Edge]] Common)
* Starting Artifacts: Growing Steady Legendary and General's Disposition Rare.
* Rogue XP upgrades (in order of priority): Starting Artifact Power, Legendary Tiles, Starting Cash, Up to Tier 3 Discount, Tier 4 and 5 Discount, Extra Starting Tokens, Legendary Merchant.
Joan of Arc Adora is selected for being a strong Hero to complement the defense and having a great starting party. The Ninja Monkey is our main answer to Phayze but is also usually used to do heavy damage to the other Bosses like Bloonarius and Vortex, it also serves as a secondary defensive option by using the top path, specially if Camo detection is needed in multi lane maps. The Boomerang Monkey is one of the main offensive Towers used in regular encounters by using the middle path which can deal with early MOABs, it also excels in Races and against Bloonarius spawns by using the top path and is the main attacker against Dreadbloon and Blastapopoulos thanks to the Turbo Charge Ability. The Heroic Edge Artifact gives a small but always helpful pierce boost while helping Adora catch stray Bloons.
The starting party is complemented by a Druid strategy with Growing Steady which is the main DPS of the party while General's Disposition gives easy access to Camo detection for the Druid and Boomerang Monkey. If the player doesn't have the recommended rarities or less than 18 Artifact Power, the Common version of both Artifacts can be used instead, this leaves 3 Artifact Power remaining to bring any other Common Artifact, this one should be one whose Rare version is yet to be extracted. The Rogue XP upgrades just make things easier but are not needed for the strategy.
=== Gameplay ===
The general idea is to finish Stage 1 as fast as possible, so is important to plan ahead and take the route that can skip the most Bloon Encounters, while Camp Fires are used almost exclusively to heal. If there isn't enough hearts to skip all encounters, then is recommended to play the ones on easier maps saving hearts for later. This is also the reason to play in regular difficulty and not CHIMPS mode, as the reduction in hearts hinders the ability to skip encounters making stage 1 take more time without reason. Any Artifact the players may encounter from Chests, Merchants or Mini Games / Bosses should be picked for being extracted rather than to help the current run, this is fine as the party was selected to clear the stage without any additional help from other Towers or Artifacts, even if they receive some penalty from the current Artifacts in the inventory.
If the players must play Bloon Encounters, they can be handled by starting with Adora and a 2-0-3 Druid of Wrath on her range, then adding a 0-3-2 Bionic Boomerang, if the Encounter goes for longer, upgrade them to 2-0-4 and 0-4-2, respectively, and start building more 2-0-4 Poplusts.
'''Mini Games / Boss''':
Mini Games will be the primary way to obtain Legendary Artifacts to extract as the party can easily clear the goal score in Races and Least Cash in stage 1, with Endurance Races requiring a little more practice.
* '''Race''': Place Adora in a good position and buy a 4-0-2 Boomerang next to her. Send all rounds and place a Druid in Adora's range, upgrade it to 2-0-3 as the Cash comes in, this should be enough to win.
* '''Least Cash''': Adora, 2-0-2 Druid and 0-3-2 Boomerang Monkey should be enough to beat the tile under budget, and if more defense is needed, either upgrade the Druid to 2-0-4 and add more Druids as the budget allows.
* '''Endurance Race''': This is more difficult for the setup as the Towers can easily be pierce capped, start with Adora, 4-0-2 Boomerang and 2-0-3 Druid and build into 2-0-4 Poplusts as the money comes in. As The last round (usually 29) should be sent at most 45 seconds to 1 minute before the end of the timer to be popped on time, specially if the MOAB damage is not in the front to quickly defeat BFB's.
* '''Mini Boss:''' Reaching the Legendary goal is almost impossible for this setup so players might need to settle for the Common or Rare goal, to keep scoring pops, the common strategy is to constantly buy and sell Druids following the Boss along the path.
'''Final Bosses''':
To beat each Final Boss the following strategies can be used.
* '''[[Bloonarius (BTD6)|Bloonarius]]''': 1-0-4 Sticky Bomb in the front to damage Bloonarius while Adora with 4-0-2 M.O.A.R Glaives and a 2-0-4 Poplust defend the Bleed and Skull Bloons alongside regular rounds.
* '''[[Vortex (BTD6)|Vortex]]''': 1-0-4 Sticky Bomb and 0-4-2 Turbo Charge (both set to Strong) should be enough to keep Vortex at the start of the track, so a 2-0-4 Poplust and Adora can defend the regular rounds, make sure those 2 can't be stunned by Vortex.
* [[Dreadbloon (BTD6)|'''Dreadbloon''']]: Delay damaging the Boss until the player has two 0-4-2 Turbo Charges on the field, as the Dreadrock Bloons became difficult to defend during the Magic immunity phase, placing Adora and the Druid at the back for defense. Don't place the Boomerang Monkeys at the very front as Dreadbloon will advance by the time it comes back from cooldown, 1-0-4 Sticky Bomb can be used to break the Primary phase.
* '''[[Phayze]]''': Keep Adora, Druid and Boomerang at the back while a 1-0-4 Sticky Bomb deals with Phayze, sell and rebuy the Ninja as the Boss exits the Ninja's range.
* '''[[Blastapopoulos (BTD6)|Blastapopoulos]]''': 0-1-3 Druid can start the damage while Adora, a 0-3-2 Boomerang and a 4-0-2 Bloonjitsu defend the regular spawns at the back of the track, add more Druids to attack the Boss as the game progresses. In higher difficulties is important to try to search for a Spike Factory as soon as the player knows Blastapopoulos is the Boss, as the overheat stun can be enough to let faster Bloons reach the exit before the player has time to react.
=== Extraction priority ===
It is recommended to extract Artifacts in the following order so the harder to find Artifacts are obtained first.
# Legendary Artifacts which don't have a Rare version, except Boss Artifacts: [[Biggest Beacon]], [[Homing Projectiles]] and [[One Monkey Army]].
# Rare Artifacts which don't have a Common version: [[Abundant Choices]], [[Battlefield Commission]], [[Cats Meow]], [[Conscription]], [[Critical Success]], [[Discord]], [[Duckageddon]], [[Master of all Trades]], [[Monkey Academy (BTD6)|Monkey Academy]], [[No More Please]], [[Primary Specialist]], [[Rubber Bullets]], [[Summer Fun]], [[Summon Battle Cat]] and [[Support Specialist]].
#Any other Legendary Artifact, except Boss Artifacts.
#Any Common Artifact not yet extracted.
#Any Rare Artifact not yet extracted.
#Hero Artifact.
# Boss Artifacts.
=== Playing in Stage 2 and beyond ===
Stop upgrading towers to tier 4 if Essence of Bloonarius is obtained and can also they can be placed outside of Adora's range after getting Essence of Phayze.
Bloon Encounters are handled in the same way as In Races and Endurance Races, rounds should be sent in a slow and steady pace to avoid getting pierce capped and build a Poplust army as the game progresses, it is important to note DDT defense will be needed for Endurance Races if the player aims for the Legendary goal (refer to the table in the Regular campaign section for the recommended final round to send). In Least Cash the player can build Poplusts as the budget allows.
For Final Bosses, Bloonarius is defended in the same way as stage one with some damage in the front and the spawn defense in the back of the track. On higher stages the ability to beat Vortex is highly map dependent, if needed, take longer routes for more Artifacts and Towers before facing it. For Dreadblon it is important to pick a second powerful non-Magic Tower along the way to cover that immunity, obtaining Monkey Academy Artifact is also useful. Phayze Any Boss fight will also benefit from towers that can attack the Boss from afar to complement the defense, specially against Vortex and Phayze, examples include Aircraft Carrier, Arctic Knight, Spike Storm and Elite Defender, however there's always the possibility of having an impossible Boss fight it can happen on the more difficult maps.
== Tips and general recommendations ==
* Even if a campaign ends on a defeat, players will always get the Rogue XP they have accumulated until that point, which can be used on the Rogue XP shop to make future campaigns easier.
* Unless the player is doing a [[One Monkey Army]] run, the choice of an starting Hero should be mostly taking considering the starting Monkeys and Artifacts and not the Hero itself, as it does not really matter in the long run because there aren't many artifacts that benefit them so it will quickly be left behind the main towers in terms of DPS, so Heroes are really only useful in the early game for defense and in Freeplay for the support it can provide.
* In general, maxing out the Starting Artifact Power from the shop to start a run with a Boss Artifact is generally not worth it, as it is better to reroll Stage 1 until the desired Boss appears, and beat it on it weakest form.
* The only heart that matters is the last one because because there are no extra rewards at any point for having spare hearts, so using them to retry Mini Games for Legendary goals and skip difficult Bloon Encounters is very useful, however, it is always recommended to Heal at Camp Fires if the player has less than 3 hearts remaining.
* One of the most useful skills that a Rogue Legends player can learn is to identify the moment where skipping a Bloon Encounter is the best action to take, as a stubborn player can easily lose a campaign by trying a difficult encounter two or three times and losing those hearts instead of just losing one by skipping. If the player can quickly identify a losing position, and have quick reflexes, they can go back to the stage map and just skip the tile with no additional penalties.
* The best moment on a campaign to take greedy routes to maximize the rewards is on Stages 2 and 3, this is because players will still receive larger amounts of Cash to start the game, the map pool has not reached its maximum difficulty and the player's party is not as weak as in Stage 1.
* When reaching a Camp Fire, it is always a good thing to look at the Recruit Monkeys before taking any decision on what to do.
* On the early game, players can quickly obtain a Tier 4 tower by Mentoring or Recruiting to have a cheap DPS tower and build the rest of the party around it.
* From the Boss Artifacts, Essence of Bloonarius, Phayze and Dreadbloon are almost always worth taking over any Tier 5 tower.
** With Essence of Bloonarius, players should stop upgrading their towers to Tier 4, as they will be on most cases inferior to their Tier 3 counterparts. On Freeplay, the towers should remain at Tier 3 until the both Tier 4 and 5 upgrades can be purchased at the same time.
* Here are some powerful starting parties for beginners:
** [[Obyn Greenfoot (BTD6)|Obyn Greenfoot]], 2-0-3 Druids can hit any type of Bloon and scale nicely into [[Poplust (BTD6)|Poplusts]] after Obyn can grant them camo detection, but before that point the main priority at the start of the game is getting an early tower that can handle Camo Bloons. [[Growing Steady]] is the best artifact to bring with this setup if available.
** [[Admiral Brickell (BTD6)|Admiral Brickell]], [[Portability]] allows to easily use water-based towers, her 0-3-0 Bucaneer has good popping tower in the early game and can get quickly upgraded to X-4-X to deal with MOAB-Class Bloons, camo detection can be easily obtained by crosspathing the Buccaneer to 0-3-2 or by upgrading the starting sub to 3-0-1. [[Full Broadside]] and [[Corrosive Torp-E-Darts]] have amazing synergy with this party.
* The best way to obtain extra income is by using [[Rubber to Gold (BTD6)|Rubber to Gold]] or [[Alchemic Engineering]] to convert Bloons to Gold, as the short games might not give [[Banana Farm|Banana Farms]] time to even pay for themselves and the number of ability activation will also be limited.
* Always keep at least 3 or 4 towers that can be purchased with the initial cash to drop them immediately on the most difficult maps.
* When starting a new stage, scout the map carefully, as sometimes Legendary Augment tiles are hard to spot.
* Players can restart games for free if the first round haven't been completed yet, with the exception of Mini Games or Mini Bosses.
* When mentoring a Tower that was obtained from an artifact, it might be also useful to check if Enhancing said Artifact would give them the same Tower they are looking to upgrade, this way the players will get their desired tower and the benefits of the higher tiered Artifact on top.
* In general, it is not recommended to force an strategy or commit to one on the early game, as there is no guarantee that the player will obtain the Monkeys or Artifacts that have synergy with it.
* When obtaining an Artifact that doesn't have a real use in your current party, it is generally better to hold to it and just trade at the next Merchant, but there is also the possibility that the Artifact's drawback will just be too great to overcome, in that case, Artifact can always be dropped from the inventory.

This is where I do Legends-related stuff before it is ready for main
random encounter article I guess
Not to be confused with Bloon Encounters, which are the regular tower defense games.
Dice icon that represents Random Encounters
Random Encounters are a game mechanic in the Frontier Legends DLC of Bloons TD 6. As their name suggest, these are events that can happen at random while the player explores the Frontier, upon encountering one, the player will be presented with a description of the situation and one of more options of what Sheriff or his Posse can do in response. After selecting one there can be a variety of outcomes, including gaining or losing resources such as Bananite, Stamina or consumable items, modifying Traits of the Ranch Hands, losing members of the Posse, or even no consequences at all.
Random encounters can be triggered by performing certain actions within the DLC and when it triggers, that type of encounter cannot be triggered again for a certain amount of time, most random situations are exclusive to certain triggers:
Random encounter triggers
Type
Notes
Minimum cooldown
NPC Monkey
It is triggered when Sheriff interacts or collides with a Monkey NPC with simpler facial features from the Legends art style. It will spawn within 10 tiles from Sheriff and run towards him.
35 minutes
Campfire
Triggers when Sheriff activates a Campfire.
10 minutes
Area
Triggers when Sheriff enters a different area.
10 minutes
Defeat
When Sheriff is defeated there is a 10% chance of triggering a Random Encounter upon returning to the Campfire
60 minutes
When an Encounter is triggered, the player will be presented with a text box describing the situation and one or more buttons that represents the actions that Sheriff or his Posse members can do in response. In some scenarios, selecting a specific option will not always result in the same consequence, as some of them have a table of different outcomes with predefined chances of happening.
If the Posse has Monkeys with the Fortunate or Happy-go-lucky the game will perform an additional RNG rolls (up to the number of Towers with the trait) if the outcome of the Random Encounter is not considered to be the "positive" one.
This section is in need of research. You can help out by editing this article or discussing your findings on the talk page. The editor who added this notice elaborates: Determine what happens when 4 monkeys are lost, is the oldest one lost forever or does the game not present wiht more of such events at all?
When the Posse loses a member, the tower will not be completely lost, instead, when Sheriff enters an Area there is a 30% chance that the lost Monkey will appear somewhere at that location and if it triggers, it will stay there until Sheriff interacts with it which starts another Random Encounter where the player can decide to welcome the Tower back to the Ranch Hands, dismiss it or come back later. Up to 4 Monkeys can be lost at the same time.

These Ranch Hands can spawn in Sandytown after being lost, causing there to be two Piercing Pearl or Quickshot Clyde NPCs in the same area (though only the NPC representing the lost Ranch Hand is interactable).
