'''Powers Pro''' are enhanced versions of [[Power]]s in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'' introduced in {{BTD6 version|50.0}}.

'''Powers Pro''' (also known as '''Pro Powers''') are enhanced versions of [[Power]]s in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'', introduced in {{BTD6 version|50.0}}. They are separate items from their base Powers and do not permanently replace them when unlocked. They have more powerful effects than regular Powers, but cost more [[Monkey Money (BTD6)|Monkey Money]] to purchase. Each Power Pro also has nine [[upgrade]]s, split into three paths of three tiers of upgrades, that cost [[cash]].

The player ~~unlocks a Power~~ Pro ~~after obtaining a certain amount of~~ XP ~~for that Power. They are separate items from~~ their base Powers and ~~do not permanently replace~~ them ~~when unlocked~~.

The player can unlock Powers Pro with XP gained by purchasing and using their base Powers, with each Power Pro having its own XP meter. Tier 2 and tier 3 Power Pro upgrades also require XP to unlock, but the player can earn XP more efficiently by purchasing and using Powers Pro after unlocking them. Not all Powers have a Pro version; future updates will add more to the game over time.<ref name="50.0 preview">{{cite|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/btd6/comments/1mwttl4/bloons_td_6_v500_update_preview/|title=Bloons TD 6 v50.0 - Update Preview!|publisher=Reddit|retrieved=21 aug 2025}}</ref>

===Unlocking===

~~{{research~~|~~All methods of gaining XP~~, ~~confirm that each~~ player can ~~have~~ a T3 Power Pro ~~on Co-op.}}~~

The player cannot purchase or use a Power Pro without unlocking it first (outside of the [[Pro Power Challenge]]). Powers Pro earned as rewards, such as from [[Odyssey (BTD6)|Odyssey Events]], are not usable before the player unlocks them. The player can unlock a Power Pro either by earning enough of its XP, or by purchasing packs from the [[Shop (BTD6)|Shop]] (which is not an option in ''[[Bloons TD 6+]]'' and ''[[Bloons TD 6 NETFLIX]]''). After unlocking a Power Pro, its tier 2 and tier 3 upgrades require additional XP to unlock. Each type of Power Pro has different XP requirements for each tier.

*Purchasing a Power earns XP ~~equal to its~~ [[~~Monkey Money~~]] ~~cost times 8~~.

*After unlocking a Power Pro, ~~buying~~ the ~~non-Pro variant of that [[~~Power]] earns ~~lesser~~ XP~~, equivalent~~ to its [[Monkey Money]] cost times 2.

The player can earn XP for a Power Pro through the following methods:

*Using a Power (outside of [[~~Rogue Legends~~]], [[Contested Territory (BTD6)|Contested Territory]]~~, or any other game mode/challenge that bans Powers~~) earns XP equal to its [[Monkey Money]] cost times 2.

*Purchasing a regular Power earns XP equal to its [[Monkey Money (BTD6)|Monkey Money]] cost times 8.

*~~Purchasing or Using a Power~~ Pro ~~earns double~~ XP as ~~regular Power~~.

*Using a regular Power (outside of [[Legend]]s and [[Contested Territory (BTD6)|Contested Territory]]) earns XP equal to its Monkey Money cost times 2.

*Powers Pro use the same formula for earning XP from purchasing and using them, except they earn twice as much relative to their cost.

===Upgrades===

Powers Pro have their own [[upgrade]]s. Like regular [[tower]]s, they have three upgrade paths, but they only have three upgrade tiers each, and they cannot [[crosspath]]. ~~Players~~ can only have one ~~Tier~~ 3 Power Pro ~~from each~~ path, ~~working in the same way~~ to ~~Tier~~ 5 of regular ~~Towers~~.

{{research|confirm that each player can have a T3 Power Pro on Co-op}}

Powers Pro have their own [[upgrade]]s. Like regular [[tower]]s, they have three upgrade paths, but they only have three upgrade tiers each, and they cannot have [[crosspath]]s; purchasing the first upgrade on one path locks all the other paths. Each player can only have one tier 3 Power Pro per path on the map at a time, similar to tier 5 upgrades of regular towers.

Powers Pro count towards maximum tower limits in the [[Challenge Editor]] and events. However, their upgrades do not count towards [[Least Tiers]].

Note that these total costs round up if their cost is not evenly divisible by the XP to unlock.

}}

===By buying and placing Powers Pro===

Powers Pro are twice as cost-efficient as regular Powers for earning XP, both when purchased and placed. However, the player cannot use Powers Pro before unlocking them, so it is impossible to use them to gain XP for the first tier. Thus, these total costs exclude the XP required to unlock the first tier.
