Appearances		Bloons TD 6
Full name		Vengeful True Sun God

The VTSG (short for Vengeful True Sun God) is a more powerful form of the True Sun God in Bloons TD 6, introduced in version 3.0. It increases the damage of the True Sun God's attacks and sub-towers, making it the most powerful non-Paragon tower in the game. Despite being called a "5-5-5 tower", it is unrelated to Paragons and operates on different mechanics.

The VTSG is created by upgrading a Sun Temple into a True Sun God under specific conditions:

• There Can Be Only One must be unlocked and enabled. (This means the VTSG cannot be summoned in CHIMPS or if Monkey Knowledge is disabled through any other means.)
• The Anti-Bloon and Legend of the Night must be placed somewhere on the map outside the range of the Sun Temple the player is upgrading.
• The Sun Temple must have maxed-out sacrifices in three tower categories, then must be upgraded to a True Sun God with maxed-out sacrifices in all four tower categories. This requires over $50,000 worth of sacrifices in each category for both upgrades. (For more information, see Temple Sacrifice.)
• It can be created in Sandbox mode, but it needs to be built in a normal game first.
• True to "There Can Be Only One", only one VTSG can exist at a time. Attempting to create a VTSG while one already exists on the map will always fail and create a normal True Sun God, even if all other conditions are met.

If set up correctly, then after upgrading the Sun Temple, it will initially transform into a True Sun God as normal, then absorb the other tier 5 Super Monkeys and transform into the VTSG. The Anti-Bloon and Legend of the Night cannot be re-purchased unless the VTSG is sold. If playing on Co-op, only the VTSG owner's Anti-Bloon and Legend of the Night are disabled.

Differences from the True Sun God

• The tower's model, visual effects, and portrait change. This also applies to its sub-towers.
• Its main attack deals +35 damage.
• All additional attacks from its sacrifices deal double the normal damage (before buffs and other stat modifiers). This also applies to its sub-towers.
• If Adora is transformed into True Adora, the VTSG will transform her into Vengeful Adora. This unlocks the Strangely Adorable achievement. The differences are otherwise purely cosmetic.
  • If playing on Adora's Temple, it also triggers an Easter egg that transforms the temple into a darker version. The differences are purely cosmetic.
• If activated on the podium on Lotus Island, it triggers an Easter egg that turns all the pollen orbs purple and increases their stun duration.

Sacrificing towers

Further information: Temple Sacrifice (BTD6)

• The cost of towers and upgrades is affected by discounts and/or the difficulty, but the total cost needed when sacrificing for each tower category is always $50,000. This means the player needs to purchase more expensive upgrades or additional towers to be sacrificed on lower difficulties to compensate for their reduced costs.
  • Sacrificing Support towers to the Sun Temple causes it to provide discounts to towers within range, so any towers and upgrades purchased in range of a Support temple will cost less and be worth less to the True Sun God than to the Sun Temple. Thus, if the Sun Temple is created using Support sacrifices, the player will need to sacrifice towers and upgrades with a higher base cost to the True Sun God to compensate for the discount.
  • Regardless of difficulty and discounts, the sell value for each tower should add up to at least $35,000 within each category ($37,500 with Better Sell Deals), assuming the sellback rates are not being modified via Favored Trades, Flat Pack Buildings, Banana Salvage, or the Monkey Tycoon Perk.
• The exact combination of towers and upgrades used does not matter as long as the total cash spent is reached for the required number of categories (three for the Sun Temple and all four for the True Sun God).
• While only three maxed categories are required for the Sun Temple, the combination of categories sacrificed affects the VTSG's behavior. (See Temple Sacrifice for more information.)
• A simple combination for the Sun Temple that works across all difficulties, but isn't cost-efficient, is MOAB Domination, M.A.D, and Wizard Lord Phoenix. For the True Sun God, repeat this and add Monkey Wall Street.

Step-by-step

1. Before attempting to create a VTSG, players must make sure that:
   • All upgrades for the Super Monkey are unlocked
   • There Can Be Only One is unlocked
   • The current mode is not CHIMPS
   • Monkey Knowledge is enabled in the main menu (indicated by a green pip next to the Knowledge button, as opposed to the red pip if a player disables Monkey Knowledge)
   • The challenge rules (if any) are not disabling Monkey Knowledge
2. Place a Super Monkey. This one will be converted to the VTSG.
3. Place and upgrade towers inside the Super Monkey's radius such that the total amount of cash spent on any three of the four tower categories (Primary, Military, Magic, Support) is at least $50,000 each, for a total of $150,000 at minimum.
4. Upgrade the Super Monkey to a Sun Temple. It will sacrifice all towers within its radius as normal.
5. Place two Super Monkeys outside the Sun Temple's radius. Upgrade one to The Anti-Bloon and the other to Legend of the Night.
6. Place and upgrade towers inside the Sun Temple's radius such that the total amount of cash spent on all four tower categories is at least $50,000 each, for a total of $200,000 at minimum.
7. Upgrade the Sun Temple to a True Sun God. It will sacrifice all towers within its radius and transform as normal, then, after a short pause, sacrifice The Anti-Bloon and Legend of the Night and transform into the VTSG.

Nomenclature

The names "Vengeful True Sun God" and (less common) "Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey" were originally community-created names derived from the name of the Temple of the Vengeful Monkey in Bloons TD 5 and Bloons Monkey City, which the VTSG appears to be based on. The VTSG was not given an official name when it was first released, though internally, many assets use the number "555" to distinguish them from assets pertaining to the normal True Sun God. The abbreviation "VTSG" was first used in an official capacity in the patch notes for version 27.0, though the same patch notes also refer to it as the "Vengeful version", the 555 temple, and the 555 Super Monkey. Prior to this, the patch notes for version 14.0 listed changes to the VTSG as changes to There Can Be Only One, leaving it unnamed. The full name "Vengeful True Sun God" has never been used in-game or in patch notes, though it is the name of a badge in the Steam release. Other comments on the matter have claimed that neither "Vengeful True Sun God" or "Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey" are the "correct" names and that its "true" name is Frankie Fitzgerald.
