Social Season Event: Difference between revisions

'''Social Season Events''' are events in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. Support for them was added in {{BTD6 version|54.0}}, but the first event did not start until {{timestamp|@1777413600}}, after the release of {{BTD6 version|54.2}}. During a Social Season, players participate in themed challenges similar in structure to [[Sweepstakes Event]]s.<ref name="52.0 notes"/> There are both Global Goals, which count progress made by all players, and Team Goals, which count progress made by members within a [[Team]]. Participating earns rewards including [[Team Trophy|Team Trophies]], exclusive cosmetic items, and items called [[Perk]]s that apply passive buffs in certain game modes.

Completing Team Goals earns Stars. All members of a Team earn rewards when the total number of Stars earned by the Team reaches certain thresholds.

Team Goals are divided into two phases, each with five categories, each with five tiers, for a total of 50 Team Goals per event. The first category of a phase is available immediately, while the rest unlock in order when the player completes tier 1 of the previous category. The first phase is available at the start of the season, while the second phase unlocks after the first week of the season. The amount of stars earned depends on the Tier of the goal, and some tiers additionally reward Team Trophies.

* For the "Earn X Cash goals", it only counts extra income from any source that registers to the tower's stats (e.g. [[Banana Farm (BTD6)|Banana Farms]] but not [[Lead to Gold (BTD6)|Lead to Gold]]). Additionally, for each player, they cap at $65,000,000 per day, refreshing every 24 hours from the start of the event.

*For each player, "Pop Bloons with Monkeys" and "Pop Bloons with any Monkey" cap at 15,000,000 pops per day. It refreshes every 24 hours from the start of the event.

**The daily limit was originally 2,000,000 pops at the start of the event, but server-side updates increased it over time. At approximately 2 July 2026 at 22:00 UTC, the final server-side update increased the daily limit to the current amount and lowered the global goals from 3 trillion/10 trillion pops to 1 trillion/3 trillion pops.

* The easiest way to complete the goals for activating abilities is to spam fast cooldown abilities. Use [[Tech Bot (BTD6)|Tech Bot]] for automation, or buy a [[Tech Bot Prime]] with [[Chain Link]] (2-0-0) to automate multiple of the same ability.

** Alternatively, if one wants to make progress without having to manually press ability buttons, create a regrow farm while having [[Tech Bot (BTD6)|Tech Bots]] on non-money making abilities with an [[Energizer (BTD6)|Energizer]] to speed the cooldowns up. [[Deadeye]]'s Take Aim is one of the cheapest while having a fast ability cooldown and does not ruin a regrow farm. Other contenders include [[Glue Strike (BTD6)|Glue Strike]], [[Artillery Battery (BTD6)|Artillery Battery]]'s Bombardment, and [[Bloon Sabotage (BTD6)|Bloon Sabotage]].

** Another example is to build a Sniper Monkey farm (which minimizes button presses for the abilities) to advance Abilities and Cash goals, and then using the farmed cash to buy Paragons.

* For cash goals, play [[Impoppable (BTD6)|Impoppable]] on Beginner maps, [[Boss Challenge]], or [[Boss Bloon Event (BTD6)|Boss Events]], as these give many rounds to snowball income. [[Strategy:Boss Bloon Event]] contains examples of farming setups.

* To speed up the obstacle goals, play maps with many removable obstacles, particularly [[High Finance]] which has the most. Use 0-1-4 [[Bloon Trap (BTD6)|Bloon Trap]] to accelerate farming while surviving rounds and acquiring enough money to buy all buildings on Easy.

* All tower limit goals should be played on Beginner maps for the least difficulty. For most game modes, optimal strategies for [[2TC]] also work for the tower limit goals.

* For the goals involving winning many games, play Easy for the fastest results.
