'''Upgrades''' are a core game mechanic of the {{series|Bloons TD}} and ''[[Bloons Super Monkey]]''. They can be purchased for [[cash]] to enhance a monkey's stats, add or replace attacks, unlock [[Activated Ability|Activated Abilities]], or combination of effects. Depending on the game, upgrades may come in multiple paths and tiers that restrict how many upgrades can be purchased and in what order; higher-tier upgrades are generally more powerful, but more expensive. | '''Upgrades''' are a core game mechanic of the {{series|Bloons TD}} and ''[[Bloons Super Monkey]]''.

Tier 5 upgrades appear in ''Bloons TD 6'' and ''[[Bloons TD Battles 2]]''. Only one of each tier 5 upgrade can exist at the same time, except for [[Crossbow Master (BTD6)|Crossbow Master]] with {{BTD6 mk|Master Double Cross}} & [[Ice Monkey (BTD6)|Ice Monkey]]s when used with [[Silas (BTD6)|Silas]] in ''BTD6''. In ''BTD6'''s [[Co-op (BTD6)|Co-op]], each player can have one of each tier 5 upgrade, allowing up to four of each tier 5 upgrade to exist at the same time (8 in the case of Crossbow Master/Ice Monkey tier 5 towers). In ''Battles 2'', Tier 5 upgrades are permanently unlocked for {{BTDB2 mm|1500}} per unlocked tower. | |||

Paragons are a kind of upgrade introduced to ''Bloons TD 6'' in {{BTD6 version|27.0}}. They require all three tier 5 upgrades of that tower to be on screen, and when the paragon is bought, all of that tower on screen merge into a single unit with exceptionally high stats and damage bonuses against [[Boss Bloon]]s. The player can sacrifice more towers and [[Paragon Power Totem]]s when creating them to increase their Degree, which determines their stats. They are extremely expensive and take much more [[tower XP]] to unlock than other upgrades. Only one of each Paragon can exist at the same time, even in Co-op. While sometimes referred to as "5-5-5 towers" in the game, they actually belong to their own upgrade tier. | Paragons are a kind of upgrade introduced to ''Bloons TD 6'' in {{BTD6 version|27.0}}.
