How to create a Paragon in BTD6?
Creating a Paragon in BTD6 has several requirements that the player must complete. For instance, you can only create a Paragon in challenging editor and normal game modes. So, make sure that you are playing outside of the Sandbox mode. Secondly, the Paragon is only unlocked using XP in the game.
Place at least one of each tier 5 towers for a specific monkey, at which point an upgrade option will appear for any of the towers. Moreover, you will also need to purchase the Paragon upgrade using the monkey dollars, so save some during your game. Lastly, upgrading any of the towers to a Paragon will absorb or sacrifice all your towers of that type as well as the ones belonging to co-op players. Don’t worry about your loss, as all sacrificed towers will only boost the power or degree of the Paragon.
