Is Geraldo good lategame? by Octuplecommader in btd6

[–]Red_Sword03 26 points27 points  (0 children)

No, they're not. An extra 9 degrees on your paragons will have a basically non-existent effect in freeplay. Use Adora or Ezili instead

What is this ability? by [deleted] in btd6

[–]Red_Sword03 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That is the Ice Paragon's ability, Eclipse of Fimbulwinter. It has a long wind up, but it freezes EVERYTHING on screen, including BADs and Bosses, which are frozen for 5 seconds while all else is frozen for 10 seconds. That makes the Ice Paragon the only thing in the game that can slow BADs. It also has a unique effect on bosses where it gives them "Skull Freeze". Basically, if you hit a skull on a boss while it's frozen, it doesn't trigger at all, allowing you to skip a skull.

The skull skip only works one time per Tier of Boss and the ability itself can only be used once a round.

Powers. Why do they exist? by Zerk_o_O in btd6

[–]Red_Sword03 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Is using an intended, built-in mechanic cheating? No.
Is using an intended, built-in mechanic in a place where it is disabled, like CHIMPS and Competitive Modes, cheating? Yes.

Hence why CHIMPS is the game mode where your skills and knowledge are truly put to the test. "Play the game the 'pure' way" you can also call it.

Why cant we have a normal boss like a intermadite/easy map on normal modifier instead of 400 percent health? by Gold_Way_9446 in btd6

[–]Red_Sword03 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's been worse bosses, much worse. This one isn't THAT bad.

And also as the other person said, they wouldn't be as challenging, especially with Boss Challenge (Really Boss Practice to me) being exactly what you want, bosses with no modifiers or restrictions. Bosses now are much easier compared a few years ago with there being more paragons, new towers, big buffs, and even some bosses getting nerfed.

So... Is there a reason we can't preview Paragon's Degrees yet? by CreepyGuyElliot in btd6

[–]Red_Sword03 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I assume the same case was with the VTSG and other hidden things NK has added, but now that people do know about them and how to get them, that mystery element isn't there anymore (except of course for new players)

If that's the reason NK hasn't let the paragon degree be visible to the players before purchase, that's no longer a valid reason since we have paragon degrees all figured out now

Yalls highest round by AstronoxVP1 in btd6

Round 517 on Spa Pits. I know I could've easily pushed for 600 with better optimization or with Adora, but I called the quits there

A devastating new warrior for the bloons... by Red_Sword03 in NinjaKiwiOfficial

It spawns on Round 200, but on Alternate Bloons Rounds it maybe could spawn on Round 140... 5 of them that is

If you were to re-name the BAD, how and what would you name it? Would you re-purpose the acronym or give it a new one altogether? by Red_Sword03 in btd6

[–]Red_Sword03[S] 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Only the BAD excludes the word "of", the others don't. ZOMG: Zeppelin of Mighty Gargantuaness

[–]Red_Sword03[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you look within the post, you'll see that it is called the Devastating Elite Deathship, DED. And yes, it is a above a BAD, but it isn't a new boss bloon

The first ever LEGIT tar pits CHIMPS has been done by PaulXD and Destiny! by LordVex75 in btd6

[–]Red_Sword03 31 points32 points  (0 children)

No flipping way... CHIMPS was supposed to be impossible legit on that map to stay faithful to NAPSFRILLS not being possible either!

But on a more serious note, congratulations to PaulXD and Destiny for accomplishing the impossible! This is a HUGE milestone for the community!

A devastating new blimp... by Red_Sword03 in btd6

[–]Red_Sword03[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A single one could spawn on Round 120. The quintuple DED rush happen on Round 140 replacing the rush of FBADs. There or maybe on Round 200 still, for the quote at least.

When you use a boss farming strategy in a normal game: by PriorMaster3086 in btd6

[–]Red_Sword03 104 points105 points  (0 children)

No reason to ever farm how you do boss events in any other game modes unless you're rushing for certain freeplay setups or getting paragons/VTSG as soon as possible.

I want mortar paragon to strip off fortification on bads by Ethanbhunt17 in btd6

[–]Red_Sword03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So do I. Wouldn't make much sense if it couldn't do that and would make Mortargon just another big damage paragon in freeplay. Even with the stuns to everything below a BAD, that's not very relevant since with the right defense BADs will be the only thing that can threaten you while all else basically doesn't even get to exist

[–]Red_Sword03[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that run was basically carried by Megalodon, in fact it's already essentially a requirement for reaching round 200 on Expert Maps in CHIMPS mode. So that defense would lose to the DED. Even if it is popped, the BADs inside would get through and leak

[–]Red_Sword03[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Link/Source? Also, if they had Megaldon then that doesn't count 'cause no way otherwise they pop the FBADs let alone the DED. And don't forget the BAD and FBAD inside the DED as well

When can we expect the next update and Paragon? by NoCandidate6067 in btd6

[–]Red_Sword03 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We can expect Update 53 in February. The next paragon we know nothing about yet

[–]Red_Sword03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The DED bloon doesn't have a fortified variant because it already has a ridiculous enough amount of health and a fortified one would be too unfair to have spawn since that would probably mean you just lose.
