"BTD6 Legends loading..." teaser animation

Rogue Legends (or Rogue Legend) is an upcoming DLC campaign for Bloons TD 6, to be introduced in version 47.0. It is a "BTD rogue-lite adventure" and the first of a series of DLC campaigns called Legends. In this campaign, the player navigates a monkey on a tile grid with treasure chests, Bloons, campfires, merchants, and altars with Boss Bloons. When the player encounters a Bloon, the game transitions to a short Bloons TD game, much like the tiles in Bloons Monkey City, during which the player uses their party's towers, Hero, and items called artifacts to clear all the rounds. As the player progresses, they unlock more towers and artifacts to add to their party. The goal is to defeat a Boss Bloon

Rogue Legends will involve a Quest titled Rogue Legends Preview that gives "a glimpse of the Rogue Legends campaign", and a unique music track.

Gameplay

The player begins a Rogue Legends campaign by selecting a Hero or Hero Skin, each of which comes with their own starter party. The player cannot place towers and powers freely and can only use their Insta Monkeys, which are not consumable but cost cash to place. They are cheaper to place than normal, but more expensive to upgrade. The player progresses by navigating tiles on a hexagonal grid and enters a game when running into a Bloon Encounter (represented by a Red Bloon). During an encounter, the player can earn temporary items called boosts. Completing encounters earns items called tokens (represented by an icon of Geraldo's head) that can be spent on merchants. The player has five hearts (separate from lives and loses a heart each time they lose a tile. If the player runs out of hearts, the campaign ends with no option of continuing.

There is an option for CHIMPS mode on the campaign menu.

Parties

Parties are a set consisting of a Hero, Insta Monkeys, and artifacts. Each Hero has a unique starter party that includes two Insta Monkeys and one hero artifact, and Hero Skins can have different starter parties.

Artifacts

Artifacts are items that can be equipped during a campaign. All of them have beneficial effects, though some have negative effects as trade-offs, and some of them can add more Insta Monkeys to the player's party. The player starts their campaign with one artifact called a "hero artifact" that depends on the Hero or Hero Skin, and can choose up to three additional "permanent artifacts". Each permanent artifact appears to have a cost to equip in the starter party, and the player is limited to 9 cost in total. There are over 60 unique artifacts and upgraded versions. They appear to come in at least three rarities: Common, Rare, and Legendary.

Boosts are temporary items that can be bought with cash during an encounter. When buying a boost, the player can choose one of three items, or spend cash to reroll them.

Development

"Legends" were first mentioned in passing the update notes for version 41.0 as "periodic Legends content drops for players looking for even more challenge".

Version 44.0

More information about Legends was revealed in the update notes for version 44.0, and that the first Legends will be DLC and a "rogue-lite adventure".

“

Legends - this is our answer to player questions and business questions around BTD7. We’re not ready to build BTD7 as we see incredible technical and creative potential inside BTD6 without disrupting our awesome community. With Legends, our plan is to build challenging new content that’s worthy of being in a new game and offer it inside BTD6 for a reasonable price. PC and console players will recognize that these are DLCs (downloadable content), which are standard ways to expand content on those platforms, so we are bringing this approach across to mobile as well. Overall we’ll continue to focus updates on a huge variety of content that players get at no additional cost, but we do need to keep IAPs and DLCs coming into the game to support all of our development. Hopefully tempting, this first Legends will be a BTD rogue-lite adventure.

Version 46.0

The update notes for version 46.0 revealed that the first Legends DLC was planned to be released in version 46.0, but was delayed until version 47.0.

Those who have been following along may note we planned to release our first Legends DLC along with version 46, but there was even more we wanted to add to truly make it a full game within the game, so we hope you won’t mind waiting until update 47 in early February.
