*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 Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions), which is only possible in Co-op mode. To have enough tier 5 towers for Degree 100, most Paragons require four players, though there are some exceptions: | *Without Paragon Power Totems or Paragon Boost, 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 Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions), which is only possible in Co-op mode.

*With no additional tier 5 towers | *With no additional tier 5 towers, Paragon Power Totems, or Paragon Boost, the maximum possible Degree is 91. It takes 3 Paragon Power Totems to substitute the power contribution of one tier 5 tower, and 9 totems in total to get 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. | *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. | *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.
