The '''Paragon Power Totem''', also known as the '''Totem''', is a [[Geraldo (BTD6)#Geraldo's Shop|Geraldo's Shop]] item in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. The Paragon Power Totem is a sub-tower of Geraldo and does not attack or directly influence [[Bloon|Bloons]] in any way. When any [[Paragon]] is created, all Paragon Power Totems placed on the map are sacrificed and they provide 2,000 [[Paragon#Paragon power|Paragon Power]] each to the paragon.

Paragon Power Totems are expensive but provide a significant boost to any Paragon. On all Paragons except those that cost less than $260,000 on Medium (i.e. [[Apex Plasma Master]], [[Crucible of Steel and Flame]], [[Glaive Dominus]]), placing Paragon Power Totems is a more cost effective way to increase Paragon Power than sacrificing cash value. Also the Power boost from Paragon Power Totems is separate from any other source, meaning they can combine with any other sacrifices to increase a Paragon's degree farther than otherwise possible. Degree 100 Paragons are only possible with the use of Paragon Power Totems when in single-player mode.

When selecting a Paragon Power Totem, it will indicate how many of them are currently placed on the map, which can help with planning how many of them to sacrifice.
The totem counter helps plan how many of them to sacrifice. 100 Paragon Power Totems are required to guarantee Degree 100, but only about 30–40 are needed in combination with conventional methods of maximizing degrees.


Paragon Power Totems are very helpful during [[Boss Event|Boss Events]], especially when sacrificed to the most expensive Paragon(s). They should be purchased very often once available, if one's income can support it. However, one should be careful not to overspend on them if income is insufficient, as they may run out of money to buy the Paragon itself or other important towers. Also, since nothing is refunded from Paragons, Paragon Totems should ideally be reserved for permanent Paragons, not those made makeshift. Aim for degrees in groups of 20 against Bosses, with ideally degrees 60 and 80 for the most expensive DPS-focused Paragons such as [[Goliath Doomship]].

Paragon Power Totems are typically irrelevant in [[CHIMPS]] mode as Paragons are extremely difficult to afford there, and [[Ezili (BTD6)|Ezili]] is a far superior option to Geraldo in [[Freeplay]] CHIMPS. For Freeplay in general, the extra 9 max degrees per Paragon are not worth over the extreme late-game strength of Ezili or [[Adora (BTD6)|Adora]].
In [[Freeplay]], the extra 9 max degrees offered by Paragon Power Totems are negligible compared to the extreme late-game strength of [[Ezili (BTD6)|Ezili]] or [[Adora (BTD6)|Adora]].
