Sacrifice effects
Main attack
In the Flash games, the Temple's main attack gains +5 pierce per sacrifice level and +1 damage per two sacrifice levels, up to a maximum of +125 pierce (175 total) and +12 damage (15 total) with 25 sacrifice levels.
In the mobile and console games, the Temple's main attack gains +1 damage per sacrifice level it has, up to a maximum of +25 damage (29 damage in total); however, the main attack's damage does not pass through layers, so the extra damage only applies to Ceramic Bloon and MOAB-Class Bloon layers. It has unlimited pierce at all levels.
Missile attack
Sacrificing Bomb Shooters and/or Mortar Monkeys unlocks an attack that fires seeking missiles that deal extra damage to MOAB-Class Bloons.
Ice attack
Sacrificing Ice Monkeys 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-like effect that passively slows all non-MOAB-Class Bloons within an area.
