{{BTD6 tower changes/new|quote 1=Dart Monkey is intended to be the ‘Cheapest’ somewhat entry level Paragon so being locked behind a $300k+ price tag meant that all other paragons would have to be higher than that as well - while we’re not too drastically lowering all paragons this update the new lower floor on paragon costs will allow for much more leeway in design going forward. We lowered the power somewhat to justify this new price however not that much as it was one of the more heavily nerfed in power from the bug fix as well, in addition to this now that the Ceramic Bonus is scaling properly, we wanted to increase the value of this bonus far more to really bring out that Juggernaut bonus against Dreadbloon+.|quote 1 tiers=paragon|version=39.0|tower=Dart Monkey|paragon cost before=325000|paragon cost after=150000|paragon changes=

{{BTD6 tower changes/new|quote 1=A few buffs for the Boomerang Paragon ended up being split up and spread out over a few updates, which resulted in repeated buffs which didn’t seem so necessary after the first, given the fairly high power level it had in v38, as well as suffering less from the bug fix than the Dart Monkey, it felt like it needed more general nerfs to justify any price reduction.|quote 1 tiers=paragon|version=39.0|tower=Boomerang Monkey|paragon cost before=350000|paragon cost after=275000|paragon changes=

{{BTD6 tower changes/new|quote 1=Limiting many changes to Ace for now, we feel that it wasn’t nerfed that badly from the bug fix and we also currently want it to stay one of the much higher level price tags. It has been performing incredibly well even as the most expensive paragon, however given it is very cooldown dependent and scaling that cooldown via degrees is going to be much harder now we want to wait and see the impact of the rest of that rework before anything more significant to it.|quote 1 tiers=paragon|version=39.0|tower=Monkey Ace|paragon changes=*{{nerf|Cost per power increased|$25|$38.25/$45/$48.6/$54}}

*{{nerf|Carpet Bomb: base cooldown increased|40s|45s}}

{{BTD6 tower changes/new|quote 1=Wizard was one of the more heavily impacted Paragons losing power from the bug fix, and had a few planned buffs aside from this anyway. We’re happy keeping it more on the expensive side with a higher skill requirement, so to keep justifying this higher price tag much more significant buffs were necessary to keep it in line.|quote 1 tiers=paragon|version=39.0|tower=Wizard Monkey|paragon changes=
