Haha, it would be nice if this had been the case for BTD6 since its launch. Just explain anything what it does. But ninja kiwi has a reputation to uphold at this point.
Hopefully they rework the engineer in the future to be like this. Like having an OC ability exclusively for Paragons, and an emergency trap ability that has absurd damage and more polished sentries.
@@KogasaTatara514 with Ninja Kiwi at some point saying they want quests to be kind of like special missions it would be amazing if they readded the wizard lord special mission but with the paragon instead on r263 and it stealing the most expensive tower every 5 seconds
This is what I wanted with the engineer paragon: a hands-on monster of a tower, with abilities that include all 3 paths. Also I geek out over Zombified Z.O.M.G.'s
I think this paragon will work very well with the boat and boomer paragons since it has some down time between very strong bursts of dmg so the strong stalling of the boomer and the oneshoting of many smaller moabs from the boat will go well.
@@navehkamai4888 Not really, it seems like you mostly need the ability for bads and it can drain bads all across the map anyway to fill it's graveyard.
The ninja will go well with the wizard it's passive slowing and stun attack for sure. It's also got great base damage and will help with the escaping DDTs that this paragon struggles with. Can't wait to see them in action when the update comes out!.
I really like the way they designed the two abilities. On one hand, arcane metamorphosis is extremely powerful and melts everything, but leaves you with no mana forcing you to use the mana regen beam after the ability expires which leaves you vulnerable if it expires at an inopportune time. On the other hand, you have the Phoenix Explosion which adds a lot of passive damage to the track which makes it great for regenning mana as you'll have that other passive damage to take down bloons during your vulnerable mana regen state. I think they could do some tweaking for sure, such as making the phoenix take more mana (and the arcane spike attack taking less), having the ability to cancel your activated abilities if desired, and I think the zombie ZOMGs should travel a bit slower on the track. Otherwise, very well designed paragon in my opinion
I think just like bottom path wizard, it's best for cleanup. Look at how it cleaned the DDT rush at some point in the video. While the other ability is for stronger Bloon like top path
The zomgs should be weaker than metamorphosis because magus can use the draining beam while the zomgs are on screen so it can recharge mana to quickly be able to deal damage after the zomgs expire while metamorphosis leaves him with no mana
@@berryven I mean... I think that the phoenix basically sniped every DDT in almost every round and the arcane spike also deals a lot of damage to MOABS at least from the video so... Idk the bottom path incorporation feels kinda weaker since everything besides the basic beam is already really good at cleanup.
@@minimum850I'm not saying it should be stronger than metamorphosis but as it stands it seems like the wizard entire kit is really good at cleanup (besides metamorphosis when chasing bc projectile speed) so my point was that the ZOMGs looked kinda bad for their cost (of the full graveyard) but the dot looked good, when it hits 2/3 BADs by the end of the video you can see the difference it makes but idk if it's worth sacrificing the phoenix & the arcane spike for it.
My biggest fear with this paragon was the lag it would cause, but it seems to run pretty well. Thank God ninja kiwi knows about lag issues, especially late enough to the point where you can get a paragon
@@ethanm3923 NK is implementing rhose abilities way more now, Paragons are evolving. Wouldn't be surprisedy if it gets increasingly unique and they maybe rework the old paragons
Even as a casual player who doenst really like micro its nice to see how this paragon combines all 3 paths so well still makes me sad when comparing it to the engineer paragon
This is absolutely amazing. Something that I really liked is the fact that you don't need to kill the moabs for them to count towards the graveyard. It was filling by damage, so you're not gonna run out of count because of a tanky BAD like PoD
I think I figured out nk’s formula for paragons; for example this new paragon is built around the graveyard count which is the unique counterpart of magus perfectus, and every path incorporates the graveyard. Now lets look at the dart paragon, its unique counterpart is the ability to bounce projectiles off of the walls and every attack incorporates that ability. Thank you for listening to my ted talk
Something I’ve noticed that I haven’t yet seen directly pointed out by showcases, is that Zombie Bloons can be created by the Magus’ attacks without the use of the Mass Resurrect move. These bloons take the form of purple zombies with a purple gas or aura on them.
Bro, this Paragon is so fucking sick. All of the paths being incorporated in such cool ways and the dark color scheme is my absolute favorite. So much choice in what you can do is insane as well, so much micro you can end up doing and none of it will feel tedious. It’s all so cool
jiangshis are not vampires, they're dead martial artists who were then turned into zombies with the help of chi and sometimes poison this is knowledge i got by being pretty much addicted to wuxias and felt like sharing
Definetly the best paragon gameplaywise for now, i'm especially surprised about it considering wizard is one of the least active towers in the game. (I mean in all 3 path combined you have 1 active(Summon)) and one possibly targeted(WoF)) But its true that Wizard has the biggest potential to be one of the most complex.
I wonder what it will be like once all the paragons are out. What will it be like to try and manage a couple dozen towers at once? But honestly that's not a problem at all because I wouldn't have this paragon any other way. It's SO COOL! amazing design, strategy, and more. I love how they incorporated the grave count with the rest of the paths.
this paragon is the best paragon by far, it uses all 3 paths effectively and has a good design and abilities. Its a shame NK didnt put this amount of effort into the engineer paragon which doesnt even have Bloon Trap.
Magus perfectus -Looks epic as hell -Has 2 forms -Utilises all 3 paths but in a unique way (doesn't take away from tier 5s) -Is unique as a paragon: it has multiple special mechanics -Requires more skill than just Place & Play Conclusion: Arguably one of the best paragons they have released yet 🥳
Need to get very technical with this tower to maximize it's potential, but that's a good thing I think. It's still super strong casually, but allows for some really interesting strats when you get into it's toggle and two abilities
They should really update the other paragons once they get all the others added Make them all more interesting, because as it stands, the first 3 are kinda…. I don’t wanna say useless, but more… boring? Inconsistent? This is a great paragon, hopefully the ninja, boomerang & dart paragons will get updated to be just as enjoyable The ship and plane are good, the engineer I think needs a slight rework though
Can’t wait to get this at Degree 100! Edit 1: It seems the Arcane Metamorphosis ability is the WLP's ability but in reverse (starts with the Phoenix, ability deactivates the phoenix and activates the fire breath), while the Phoenix Explosion ability and graveyard-based attacks have the PoD incorporation. Also, the BTD5 Wizard Lord would look at this and be like: *THAT'S MY BOY!*
Why nobody is talking about the paragaron only costs 500,000 exp? Literally it's the cheapest since glaive dominus and apex plasma master, they both costed the same, then, they keep making paragons with 550,000 or more cost of xp...
This is their best paragon yet, if this is only the 7th paragon imagine how insane the last few will be. Personally hoping Druid my beloved is this good.
Tbh I feel like the Engie Paragon just needs to apply a Paragon Buff to Paragons close to it that's the perma scaling buff it already applies to itself but weaker (like maybe 4% per round capping at 50 rounds or 3x attack speed) and it should apply this buff to its Sentries too.
Ima be honest here a few weeks ago I posted a thing on reddit that made a suggestion about a possible new map and the new map in this update is kind of what I was describing. Idk if my reddit post actually did something but I hope it did.
It definitly didnt. This was literally a user made map from early 2022. The name, concept and general design of the map are already more than 1 year old and Ninja Kiwi confirmed that the map will ve added to btd6 back in April 2022. It just took a long time to add it but its here now
殭屍 culturly speaking is like vampire, but if we put it in western fantasy, its more like a combination of your traditional zombie (not virus kind) + the might of the vampire.
Paragon aside (bc holy balls, but also everyone is already talking about it) can we talk about the new map???? because uh…. with THAT little track length, and the changing lanes, advanced is a really silly ranking. Thats an expert map for sure.
I guess you could say this paragon is well, _perfect_
Ha
Not as perfect as you
I see what you did there
When’s it coming out
That’s perfect the wizard paragon makes sense that Paragon has 2 abilities for that
15:03 the Phoenix explodes, causing the dot. The pheonix was positioned away from the bad and thus that last bad didn't get the dot effect.
But the description NK wrote at 10:24 say that it lights all bloons on fire, so it's probably just a bug.
@@Morganinism2 that makes more sense to me since its not the official update its just a demonstration
It’s defo a bug, like the other guy said, NK said it sets ALL balloons on fire
It happened consistently throughout the video, the dot only applies to bloons close enough to the phoenix explosion
hey pot of greed.
what do you do?
Bro, this is the most hands on and controllable paragon they've ever made by FAR. Actually amazing. Looking forward to this update.
