*Without Paragon Power Totems, the only way to max out a Paragon's power is to have at least seven additional tier 5 towers of the same tower type (nine in the console version), which is only possible in Co-op mode. For most towers, this requires four players, though the Dart Monkey only requires three players if one player has an extra Crossbow Master from {{BTD6 mk|Master Double Cross}}. In the console version, three extra Crossbow Masters are required, so all three players must have the Monkey Knowledge.

For most towers, this requires four players, though the Dart Monkey only requires three players if one player has an extra Crossbow Master from {{BTD6 mk|Master Double Cross}} or all players are using [[Silas (BTD6)]] to upgrade a fourth Ice Monkey tier 5 each. In the console version, three extra Crossbow Masters are required, so all three players must have the Monkey Knowledge.

*It takes ~~three~~ Paragon Power Totems to substitute the power contribution of one tier 5 tower.

:*Without any additional Tier 5 towers, the maximum Degree is 91.

*It takes 3 Paragon Power Totems to substitute the power contribution of one tier 5 tower, and 9 totems to get a degree 100.

*Higher Degrees require exponentially more power than lower Degrees and don't give as much of an attack speed bonus as lower Degrees, so going for higher Degrees has diminishing returns. In events, it's generally more efficient to go for multiple mid-Degree Paragons than to try to max out Paragons as much as possible.

*Paragons receive significant damage boosts against bosses for every 20 Degrees they have, so it's most cost-efficient to reach a multiple of 20 Degrees without going over. The difference in damage output between Degree 19 and Degree 20 is much bigger than between Degree 20 and Degree 21, for example.
