BTD6: Adora Guide

Since the original flash version came out in the late 2000s, I have been a significant fan of Bloons Tower Defense games. Incredibly, I’ve played nearly all of Ninja Kiwi’s T.D. games despite being available for over a decade.

While the basic concept of B.T.D. games hasn’t altered much, the team Ninja Kiwi has done a fantastic job of giving each game its own identity. 

However, here in this Adora BTD6 Guide will discuss all the unique features you should know. So, let us get started.

What are Heroes in BTD6?

Heroes are a vibrant collection of towers with specialized attacks and powers that can be activated as needed. Like the other monkeys, Heroes have classifications like Military, Primary, Magic, etc.

In Co-Op mode, each player can choose their hero to play as, making this the only option where you can use multiple heroes at once.

How do Heroes Work in BTD6?

In contrast to standard towers, heroes automatically level up. According to how long they’ve been on the map, saving players both time and money.

Heroes gain levels based on the strength of their skills, and players can pay coins between rounds to speed up the leveling process. Players will need fewer coins to improve a Hero as they gain experience.

What Should you know about “Adora” Hero in BTD6?

Adora BTD6, one of the most powerful Heroes in Bloons Tower Defense 6, is not a surprise. By floating into the air and morphing, Adora gains an extra 5 damage and 30 penetration for all of her attacks. If she is in range of a Sun Temple or the Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey.

Without the Super Monkey Upgrade, Adora will turn the water pools in Adora’s Temple a bloody red and cause more damage. If you’re playing on Adora’s Temple, it would be foolish not to invest in Adora. And, put her to good use. Also, she is a powerful bloon peeler and can single-handedly destroy Big Airships of Doom (B.A.D.).

In version 14.0 of Bloons T.D. 6, Adora joined the roster of playable Heroes. She can fire rays of sunshine that go through the air and detonate anywhere from one to five Bloons at once. She needs help spotting Camo Bloons and can’t pop Purple Bloons alone.

As for her price, she’ll set you back $850, $1,000, $1,080, and $1,200. With Hero Favors active, her price increases from $765 on Easy to $900 on Medium, $970 on Hard, and $1,080 on Impoppable. You can pay $5,000 to have Adora made available to you.

Activated Abilities of Adora in BTD6

Activated Ability #1: The Long Arm of Light

Adora’s Pierce and attack range significantly increases when this ability is active. Using this skill, she can also burst Purple Bloons. At Level 16, this ability gains additional strength. Each level has a 35-second cooldown on its abilities.

At the third level, Adora’s piercing power is doubled, her range is extended, and she can pop Purple Bloons for 10 seconds. Increased damage by 100% and increased duration to 15 seconds at level 16.

Activated Ability #2: Blood Sacrifice

By sacrificing a second tower, Adora can instantly get significant experience without spending any of her gold. More expensive towers and upgrades provide more XP. However, the exact quantity is proportional to the tower’s price. 

It’s equal to four times the tower’s value in experience points, so if she gives up a $6,500 tower, she’ll get the equivalent of $26,000 in experience. The Energizer’s bonus of 50 percent more hero XP contributes to this total.

When used, Adora and nearby Sun Avatars gain increased attack speed by at least 11% and increased attack range by at least 10% for ten seconds. Increasing attack speed by 50% and doubling attack speed is a level 20 perk. 

The bonus granted by Blood Sacrifice has an additional effect on the Sun Temple and the True Sun God. Although you cannot stack buffs, a weaker buff will remain active after a more excellent buff has worn off if the stronger buff was applied first. The effect of a more substantial buff always overrides a weaker one.

Activated Ability #3: Ball of Light

For a brief moment, Adora BTD6 is surrounded by a ball of light, dealing incredible damage to a single target at (seemingly) infinite range. Although separate from Adora, this attack uses the same prioritization of targets. 

At max level, Adora’s use of this skill gains significant strength. At level 20, she can use it to defeat a B.A.D. alone on some maps, as it can stay active for almost half the period. 

Even though Adora cannot spot camouflaged Bloons without assistance (such as a Radar Scanner), the orb of light can do so if it orbits the tower and goes through the radius of a 0-2-0 town.

Tips for Playing with Adora Hero in BTD6

  • Tip#1: Adora’s various projectiles respond especially well to Alchemist boosts, making her an excellent hero to try this tactic out on.
  • Tip#2: Use her skills with caution, as they account for the vast majority of her power and serve as reliable lifelines thanks to their ability to quickly and effectively eliminate large numbers of bloons from a safe distance. Preventing her skills from going on cooldown is crucial since it may be the difference between winning and losing a round.
  • Tip#3: It is possible to utilize the Blood Sacrifice ability to remove any remaining towers that aren’t required. When playing on CHIMPS, where early-game towers can prevent the placement of later, stronger towers, this hero is a good option if this is wanted.
  • Tip#4: Adora’s Blood Sacrifice stats can be improved with the help of free Dart Monkeys, which can be obtained from any Monkey City. The free sacrifices won’t help her level up as regular towers, but they will give Adora a significant bonus without costing her a dime.
  • Tip#5: Her primary strength rapidly increases her level via Blood Sacrifice. She holds her own in the early game, but she quickly falls behind without her powers. Spending much money on her can’t guarantee late-game success, even at Level 20.
  • Tip#6: Like Obyn Greenfoot, Adora has a decent early game, although it isn’t quite as good as Obyn’s. However, she may have trouble with the Round 40 MOAB. Thus she must time her Long Arm of Light ability well if she is to make it through challenging rounds like that one.
  • Tip#7: Adora’s main vulnerability is towards the middle of the game, especially in CHIMPS Mode. She can compensate for her lack of strength in the middle game by constructing robust towers at that time. After all, in the late game, she can trade mid-game towers that are no longer necessary for more of her strength.
  • Tip#8: While Adora’s abilities are on cooldown late in the game. So, she must rely on the support of other towers to make up for the gap in her power. In the late game, various delaying towers can provide the best support for her. Allowing her to fully recharge her powers before facing more challenging sections of the game.
  • Tip#9: Bloon Sabotage is a fantastic example of an ability-based tower that synergizes nicely with Adora because of its dual role as a stall and a damage dealer.
  • Tip#10: Adora is not suggested for use in CHIMPS or Co-Op Mode:

At lower levels, Adora struggles against Ceramic Bloons and MOAB-class bloons on CHIMPS. Also, the player has no opportunity to farm for new towers. Since she can’t reach level 20 without an Energizer or by sacrificing defenses. So, her capacity to offer towers may cost more than it’s worth to the gamer. If CHIMPS is used, it may be beneficial to forego early-game towers in favor of a tier-5 support tower like the Perma-Spike.

Not only does Adora’s slow leveling significantly reduce the shared hero XP. But, she won’t reach level 7 until about rounds 41-50. If not later, leaving her dealing minimal damage to any bloon kind until then. To add insult to injury, Blood Sacrifice only affects the player’s towers. Therefore, acquiring additional towers to sacrifice them is a time-consuming and frequently counterproductive activity. If the player plans on using Adora in cooperative play, they should use a Hero Booster.

  • Tip#11: Adora at level 20 combined with Call to Arms is devastating on even True Expert Maps. At this point, you have effectively won CHIMPS Mode.
  • Tip#12: However, unlike Ezili’s MOAB Hex, which may adapt its targeting based on Ezili’s targeting, Ball of Light is now hardcoded always to target Strong, regardless of the target priority Adora is currently set to.
  • Tip#13: Focusing solely on the Blood Sacrifice’s stat bonuses? Minimize your sacrifice as much as possible while still getting the full benefit.

Lesser Known Facts about Adora

  • Fact#1: Next to Gwendolin and Ezili, Brickell and Sauda are the only other female hero monkeys.
  • Fact#2: She joins Ezili and the Heli Pilot’s Special Poperations upgrade as the third tower with three powers.
  • Fact#3: Adora joined Quincy and Captain Churchill as the game’s third entirely offensive heroes until version 22.0.
  • Fact#4: Adora’s role as a purely offensive hero was diminished in v22.0 when she received a bonus to Blood Sacrifice that increased the attack speed and range of Sun Avatars and above.
  • Fact#5: For a whopping 5000, you can unlock Adora, making her one of the most pricey new heroes. Admiral Geraldo, Brickell, Sauda, Etienne, and Psi are the other five horses at the same price.
  • Fact#6: The ability “Blood Sacrifice” serves a purpose comparable to the Wizard Monkey’s now-defunct Soulbind upgrade. When a tower is surrendered, Adora gains experience points rather than other lives.
  • Fact#7: If a tower is chosen, the sacrifice occurs instantly and cannot be delayed.
  • Fact#8: Blood Sacrifice’s highlight functions similarly to the previous Soulbind ability but with a different hue.
  • Fact#9: After receiving bonuses from Permanent Brew, Monkey Village, True Sun God, and activating Long Arm of Light and Blood Sacrifice, she is now the player with the most extensive possible range.
  • Fact#10: With Sandbox’s “reset ability cooldown” option, you can use her level-10 ability repeatedly.
  • Fact#11: Her voice has an eerie reverberation when Adora is in her Vengeful form. It is also a side effect of achieving True Sun God form.
  • Fact#12: Blood Sacrifice, Adora’s rumored talent, is thought to involve more than simply a swift assimilation of the tower into Adora. Many people believe the crimson on her hands is blood, but it looks like red gloves from a distance. However, she has no blood on her hands to avoid graphic depictions of violence.
