Challenge rule

Revision as of 04:37, 11 January 2026 by Polavux (talk | contribs)

Challenge rules are modifiers to the game rules of Bloons TD 6. They are used in Daily Challenges, Race Events, Boss Bloon Events, Contested Territory, Boss Challenge, Boss Rush, Quests, and Rogue Legends. In Odysseys, they are known as island rules and are separate for each island. Players can configure challenge rules for custom challenges in the Challenge Editor and Odyssey Editor, but with constraints on some rules, and there are some challenge rules that are not configurable and are only used in events.

Settings

Setting Effect
  Max Monkeys Limits the number of towers players can have on the map at the same time. "Default" means there is no limit. In Co-op, each player has their own limit.
  Starting Cash Sets the starting cash, before any Monkey Knowledge or Relic Knowledge. "Default" means it uses the default amount of the selected difficulty/mode.
  Starting Lives Sets the starting lives. The maximum lives are not shown to the player. "Default" means it uses the default amount of the selected difficulty/mode.
  Start Round Sets the first round. "Default" means it uses the default amount of the selected difficulty/mode.
  End Round Sets the last round. "Default" means it uses the default amount of the selected difficulty/mode.
  Least Cash The player is required to complete the challenge with a limit on the total amount of cash they can spend. In Co-op, this counts the cash spent by all players.
  Least Tiers The player is required to complete the challenge with a limit on the number of tiers they can purchase. The tier count increases by 1 each time the player places a base tower, upgrades a tower, or levels up a Hero with cash. In Co-op, this counts purchases made by all players.
