Temple Sacrifice (BTD5 generation): Difference between revisions

Upgrading a [[Super Monkey]] into a Temple Of The Monkey God sacrifices all [[tower]]s within the Temple's range. The Temple unlocks additional [[attack]]s depending on the types of towers sacrificed and gains more powerful attacks depending on the total amount of [[cash]] spent on the sacrificed towers. Regardless of [[difficulty]], creating a maxed-out Temple requires sacrificing at least $30,000 worth of each of the following:

It costs $150,000 total to max out all five tiers for all five sacrifice categories.

The enhancements a Temple gains from sacrificing depends on the types of towers sacrificed and the total amount of cash spent on those towers. When sacrificed, a tower adds its total cash value (the same metric that determines its [[sell]] value) to the sacrifice value of its corresponding category, which then determines the level of benefits gained from that category. There are five different categories of sacrifices, each with five tiers of sacrifices. Creating a maxed-out Temple requires having enough cash invested across all five categories of towers in order for each category to reach level 5.

In ''[[Bloons Monkey City]]'', the Super Monkey's [[Monkey Knowledge (BMC)|Monkey Knowledge]] multiplies the value of sacrificed towers by 10% starting at rank 5, effectively reducing the amount of cash required to meet each threshold. The multiplier increases to 20% at rank 10 and 30% at rank 15.

Sacrificing [[Bomb Shooter]]s and/or [[Mortar Monkey]]s unlocks an attack that fires golden missiles every second, which can damage all Bloon types. At higher levels, the missiles have less pierce and a smaller blast radius, but it fires multiple missiles at a time.

Sacrificing [[Ice Monkey]]s unlocks an attack that fires exploding ice bombs that damage and freeze Bloons in an area. At all levels, it fires every 2 seconds, has 999 [[pierce]], deals 1 [[damage]], and can hit all Bloon types. At level 5, the Temple gains an [[Arctic Wind (BTD5)|Arctic Wind]]-like effect that passively slows all non-MOAB-Class Bloons within an area.

Sacrificing [[Glue Gunner]]s unlocks an attack that fires glue globs that splash on impact. At all levels, it fires every 0.5 seconds, glues up to 150 Bloons at a time, slows non-MOAB-Class Bloons to 50% speed, soaks through all layers, and lasts for 22.86 seconds. At higher levels, it also deals [[damage over time]].

Due to an oversight in the mobile games and the console version of ''BTD5'', the level 5 version of the attack is identical to the level 3 version, which makes the level 4 version stronger.

Maxing out sacrifices is vital for optimal [[freeplay]] setups, but mostly just for the extra damage it grants to the main attack. In the Flash games, the missile attack is the only additional attack that has any meaningful impact on the Temple's damage output, and in the mobile and console games, none of the additional attacks have much significance.
