Sun Temple (BTD6)

Line 44:

Towers that cannot be sacrificed (e.g. Heroes, Paragons and utility powers like [[Tech Bot (BTD6)|Tech Bots]]) can be placed closely to the Sun Avatar before upgrading, as this will make use of the space otherwise taken by the Sun Temple's increased footprint. Players can also exploit the Redeployment ability of a [[Support Chinook (BTD6)|Support Chinook]] to place towers inside the Temple's footprint by timing the upgrade while a tower is being moved. An example setup to achieve this starts by placing the tower as far as possible from the Sun Avatar to be upgraded, then use the Redeployment ability to move the tower right next to the Sun Avatar, and finally wait until the Chinook grabs the Monkey and starts moving towards the Sun Avatar, at this moment and before the Chinook arrives, quickly upgrade the Super Monkey to a Temple and if done correctly, the Chinook will drop the tower inside the Temple's footprint.

Most of the time there is little reason to not maximize the sacrifices on a specific category if going for Primary, Military or Magic categories. But if the budget doesn't allow it, certain intermediate sacrifices are still worth it, ~~specially~~ in the Support category. This is usually the case in Least Cash [[Boss Bloon Event|Boss Bloon Events]] where players might opt to only use Support sacrifices on a Temple because the spent value is usually worth the benefits. Common thresholds are $15,001 for a 10% discount on all upgrades, $35,001 for +1 bonus damage, $40,001 for 20% upgrade discount or $45,001 for the maximum end of round income of $5,000.

A Sun Temple without sacrifices is never worth it for its cost because the main attack is relatively weak; one or more buffed Sun Avatars for a similar amount of space are just better, but if used as a Insta-Monkey then it's still more useful than most T3's.
