El Dorado

“	All Monkey Money and Team Trophy rewards from game victories are increased by 25% (minimum +1)	”
	~ In-game description

El Dorado is a Relic Knowledge exclusive to Contested Territory in Bloons TD 6, first added on Version 32.2 for the 2nd CT event. When active, all victories from tiles reward +25% Monkey Money (including the Daily Capture Bonus of 100) and Team Trophies, rounded down, and a minimum of +1 of each currency. Recaptures of already occupied tiles including the team's captured tiles also count. Multiple El Dorados, which can be obtained from having a Map Relic and Store Relic of the same type, do not stack with each other.

For the list of rewards when El Dorado is active, see Contested Territory (BTD6)#Capture Rewards.

Strategy

Summary

El Dorado doesn't directly affect games themselves, rather it increases rewards for each victorious win, usually captures of tiles. In terms of strategical purpose, the generation of extra Monkey Money is rather small (since only a limited number of tiles can be captured each day) but the extra CT Trophies makes the purchase of Daily Relics much easier to obtain.

Tips

• To make the most of the extra rewards provided by this Relic, try to capture Banner and Relic Tiles for the biggest amplification of rewards.
• Note that using this Relic means that one less Relic can be used to directly increase advantages of capturing tiles. It may help to bring this tile on easier tiles.
• It is definitely easier to utilize El Dorado as a Daily Relic item, since all Daily Relics are listed separately in the Daily Relics menu, and thus do not consume the max numbers of selectable Relics on the tile-specific Relics menu.
