Paragon

Line 27:

Once the conditions are met, the option to upgrade to a Paragon appears on all of the tier 5 towers' upgrade panels. Selecting it presents the player with the option to invest more cash into the Paragon before upgrading. Once upgraded, the Paragon absorbs all other towers of the same tower type and [[Paragon Power Totem]]s on the map (including those owned by other players in Co-op), merging them into a single tower.

Unlike Temple sacrifices, the [[sell]] value of a Paragon does not change based on the towers absorbed; it is solely determined by the amount of cash spent on the tier 5 tower that was upgraded to create the Paragon. Thus, Paragons sell for more if they're ~~created using~~ more expensive ~~towers as the basis~~.

===Properties===

*Unlike regular upgrades, ~~the cost of~~ Paragon upgrades cannot be ~~reduced by any means; they~~ only change based on the [[difficulty]].

*Unlike regular upgrades, Paragon upgrades cannot be [[discount]]ed. Their costs only change based on the [[difficulty]].

*~~Paragon towers~~ cannot be [[tower buff|buffed]] by anything except ~~other Paragons or~~ [[Monkey Knowledge (BTD6)|Monkey Knowledge]].

*All ~~paragons~~ are affected by the {{BTD6 mk|Paragon of Power}} [[Monkey Knowledge (BTD6)|Monkey Knowledge]].

*Paragons cannot be sacrificed by [[Sun Temple (BTD6)|Sun Temple]]s, the [[True Sun God (BTD6)|True Sun God]], or [[Adora (BTD6)|Adora]].

===Paragon power===

'''Paragon power''' is a measurement of the total "value" of the towers absorbed by the Paragon. It is determined by multiple factors of the towers it absorbed, split into four different "categories", each with a limit on how much power it can contribute. Paragon power ~~is not shown directly to the player, though it is what~~ determines the Paragon's Degree, ~~which~~ is ~~visible~~.

*Cash invested — 60,000 power max

**1 power per <math>\frac{\text{Paragon Cost}}{20,000}</math> spent on towers absorbed — the cheapest ~~three~~ tier 5 towers are ignored

**1 power per <math>\frac{\text{Paragon Cost}}{20,000}</math> spent on towers absorbed — the three cheapest tier 5 towers on the map are ignored

**1 power per <math>\frac{\text{Paragon Cost}\times1.05}{20,000}</math> spent on the Paragon cost slider (this means using the slider is slightly less cost-efficient)

***Note: This is based on the Paragon's cost on the current [[difficulty]], so [[Easy]] requires less cash per power and higher difficulties require more cash per power

===Degrees===

The '''Degree''' of a Paragon determines its stats, affecting its [[attack speed]], [[pierce]], [[damage]], and [[Activated Ability]] cooldowns if applicable. The Degree is determined by the amount of Paragon power it has, with higher Degrees requiring exponentially more power to reach than lower Degrees. The Degree cannot be changed after the Paragon is created. Cosmetically, ~~the Paragon's model changes depending on its Degree, having a~~ different ~~model~~ for every multiple of 20.
