'''Odyssey''' is a game mode in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'' introduced in {{BTD6 version|19.0}}. In an Odyssey, the player plays through a series of [[map]]s, each with different modes and [[challenge rule]]s, using a single pool of [[life|lives]] and a limited amount of [[tower]]s and [[power]]s.

The player begins an Odyssey by building a crew consisting of [[tower]]s, [[Power]]s, and one [[Hero]]. The player then plays through a series of islands (3 on Easy Odysseys, 4 on Medium Odysseys, or 5 on Hard Odysseys), each consisting of a [[map]], [[difficulty]], mode, and set of [[challenge rule]]s, using that crew. If the player loses on one island, they can restart from the first round of that island. At any time, the player can also reset the whole Odyssey and start over with a different crew. Upon completing an island, the player progresses to the next one in order (the player cannot enter [[freeplay]]), winning by completing all islands.

The player then plays through a series of islands (3 on Easy Odysseys, 4 on Medium Odysseys, or 5 on Hard Odysseys), each consisting of a [[map]], [[difficulty]], mode, and set of [[challenge rule]]s, using that crew.

Upon completing an island, the player progresses to the next one in order (the player cannot enter [[freeplay]]), winning by completing all islands.


The player has one set of [[life|lives]] shared between all islands. The player's starting lives also determines their max lives, which prevents the player from gaining more lives than they started with, though the player can recover lives that were lost on an island. If the player completes an island with less lives than they started with, the next island sets the player's max lives to their current lives, effectively making it impossible to recover those lives for the rest of the Odyssey. [[Impoppable (BTD6)|Impoppable]] and [[CHIMPS]] do not affect the player's lives.
The player has one set of [[life|lives]] shared between all islands (the amount depending on the Odyssey). The player's starting lives also determines their max lives, which prevents the player from gaining more lives than they started with. If the player loses lives during a game, they can generate lives during the same game to recover them, but if the player finishes that game with less lives than they started with, the next island sets the player's max lives to their remaining lives, effectively making it impossible to recover those lives for the rest of the Odyssey. [[Impoppable (BTD6)|Impoppable]] and [[CHIMPS]] do not affect the player's lives.

===Crew===
[[File:BTD6 odyssey start.png|thumb|300px|Creating a crew]]
The player's crew determines which towers and Powers they have access to for the entire Odyssey. On each island, the player can only use tower and power types that they have assigned seats for, and they can only place as many copies of them as they have assigned to each seat. The set of towers and powers the player can choose from, the maximum number of copies of each tower or power that the player can add, and the number of "seats" they can be placed in, all depend on the Odyssey's settings. Filling all seats and/or copies is not required.

Odyssey Events are weekly singleplayer events played in Odyssey mode. Each event has three versions, one for each difficulty level, and their islands can have custom round sets. The player can choose which difficulty level to play on, which also determines the rewards earned by reaching the end of the Odyssey. The player can replay an Odyssey Event to play on a different difficulty level and obtain the rewards for that version, though [[Trophy (BTD6)|Trophies]], [[medal]]s, and [[Collection Event (BTD6)|Collection Event]] items are not cumulative.
'''Odyssey Events''' are weekly singleplayer events played in Odyssey mode. Each event has three different Odysseys, one for each difficulty level. Each difficulty level uses a different configuration and has different rewards for completing the Odyssey. If the player completes one Odyssey, they can replay it on another difficulty level. Unlike regular Odysseys, event Odysseys can have custom [[round]]s.


==Odyssey Editor==
An Odyssey Event is active every week, usually starting Thursday at 02:00:00 UTC and ending Wednesday at 02:00:00 UTC. Exceptions are possible, such as when a major update is about to be released, which leads to the event starting late or ending early.
{{main|Odyssey Editor}}
The Odyssey Editor is an interface for creating and sharing custom Odysseys. Unlike Odyssey Events, the creator of a custom Odyssey has to choose its difficulty level, and other players cannot choose a different difficulty level when playing it.


==Unused content==
===Powers===
Most Odyssey Events use following restrictions on Powers. They have eight Power seats, 30 max Powers, and allow any Power to be equipped, and 24 Powers equipped by default.

===Rewards===
The player earns the same [[Monkey Money]] for completing an island as replaying that island's [[map]] on that island's mode. Completing the Odyssey earns additional rewards at the end depending on the difficulty, usually Monkey Money and a [[Power]] or [[Insta Monkey]]. The player can replay the Odyssey to earn the rewards on other difficulty levels, except [[Trophy (BTD6)|Trophies]], [[medal]]s, and [[Collection Event (BTD6)|Collection Event]] items, which are not cumulative.
