Tremble before the AWESOME power of the TRUE Sun God!!
~ In-game description
Do you wish to summon the TRUE SUN GOD!!??
~ Message that appears before upgrading a Sun Temple into a True Sun God

True Sun God is the fifth and final Path 1 upgrade for the Super Monkey in Bloons TD 6. Much like the Sun Temple, the True Sun God requires additional tower sacrifices that will provide it with many awesome powers and benefits. Its hypersonic sun energy blasts now deal 15 damage and pierce up to 20 bloons, excluding additional benefits provided from sacrifices. The True Sun God cannot detect Camo Bloons without Ultravision or external camo detection.

If Adora is at max level and is within a Sun Temple's range (not including the range increase of nearby Monkey Villages), upgrading that Sun Temple into the True Sun God reveals her secret True Sun Goddess form. In the process, she will permanently acquire significantly increased damage and pierce, along several purely cosmetic changes such as gaining a godly appearance and distorting her voice.

This upgrade costs $425,000 on Easy, $500,000 on Medium, $540,000 on Hard, and $600,000 on Impoppable. For a full breakdown of sacrifice costs, see below.

Description[]

Overview[]

Placeholder other

True Sun God

With a lot of farming that had to take place to afford this tower, upgrading the Sun Temple into the True Sun God will play a short animation of the Sun Temple looking up into the sky, with a beam of light coming from its eyes. The head will swell and enlarge for 2-3 seconds until the head breaks apart and the True Sun God will emerge from the top of the temple, followed by a glowing effect. Note that this cinematic is purely aesthetic and the True Sun God will be able to attack at full power even while the animation is playing. Once it finishes transforming, the True Sun God's headdress gains a slightly more complex design compared to Sun Avatar, its fur is much whiter but still slightly yellow and its tail has white and yellow stripes. It wears a yellow necklace made of large orbs around its neck, and yellow wristbands are on its wrists.

Crosspathing with the tier 1 middle path only gives the red carpet for Super Range and the only change to True Sun God's appearance. However, technically, Epic Range's metal wristbands are already on the True Sun God.

True Sun God's artworks portray it in a bold manner. The upgrade icon displays the True Sun God's head, looking unamused or more possibly angry. The upgrade portrait shows the True Sun God floating above with an open mouth and wide open arms.

True Sun God's ultimate power comes from its much stronger attacks. At base, True Sun God shoots sun balls that deal 15 damage and have 20 pierce. These rays of sun receive Normal Type (pops Black, White, Purple, Lead, Frozen) Normal damage type, allowing for popping of any bloon type provided it can detect them. True Sun God takes another set of sacrifices of other towers to make it more powerful, improving its base stats or adding additional attacks that improve its arsenal. It receives additional sacrifice benefits from its preceding upgrade, Sun Temple. See the #Sacrifices section for further information about True Sun God's various sacrifices.

Targeting Priorities[]

True Sun God targets bloons using the standard targeting priorities. Its main attacks shoots straight movement projectiles. Sacrifices give the Sun Temple with multiple attacks that cannot simply be explained in a single paragraph.

  • First: Targets the first bloon visible within its range.
  • Last: Targets the last bloon visible within its range.
  • Close: Targets the closest bloon visible within its range.
  • Strong: Targets the strongest bloon visible within its range.

Adding Ultravision adds Camo Prioritization, allowing all its attacks to prioritize Camo Bloons over other types when this secondary targeting option is active.

Sacrifices[]

Warning message shown to the player before upgrading a Sun Temple into the True Sun God

A maxed-out True Sun God requires intense financial input and careful planning of tower placements. More than $50,000 worth of up to 3 of the following categories of towers (Primary, Military, Magic or Support) must first be sacrificed to a Sun Temple and then a further investment of more than $50,000 of every category must then be sacrificed to the True Sun God to fully maximize its bloon destroying potential.

Each type of tower provides its own benefits to the True Sun God. True Sun God sacrifices are considered distinct from the original Sun Temple sacrifices, and can stack with another Sun Temple with Support sacrifices, even if not from the same Temple.

Consider below as the values given to only the True Sun God's Support sacrifices (in bold is a new or modified buff for the True Sun God):

Fully Maxed Sacrifices[]

When a True Sun God with maxed sacrifices on a certain category is upgraded from a Sun Temple with maxed sacrifices the same category, the following interaction(s) occurs to itself (differences are shown in bold):

Primary
  • +20 pierce to main attack. (+40 total)
  • +100% attack speed to main attack. (+200% total)
  • +5 damage to main attack. (+10 total)
  • Adds 8 golden blades every 1.5 seconds, deals 25 damage, and has 20 pierce. (16 blades total)
    • All 16 golden blades are shot together and split between 22.5° from each other.
  • Adds a new golden glaive attack that fires every 0.5 sec. These golden glaives act like Glaive Ricochet glaives that bounce between the nearest bloons each time it moves. Golden glaives now have 30 damage and 50 pierce. (2 glaives total)
    • This golden glaive arcs clockwise instead of counter clockwise.
Military
  • +45% larger projectile size (+90% total, caps at 100% but impossible)
  • +45% projectile speed (+90% total, caps at 100% but impossible)
  • +30 pierce to all attacks. (+30 total)
  • Shoots one golden missile every 1.0 seconds. Travels at infinite range and deals 1 damage with 74 bonus MOAB damage to up to 50 bloons. (2 missiles total)
    • Second missile has increased projectile speed.
  • Gains two golden Spectres that shoots darts and bombs every 0.15s. Darts deal 15 damage and have 10 pierce, while bombs deal 10 damage and have 30 pierce.
    • These Spectres are set on Figure-Infinite.
Magic
  • Adds 6 homing magic shots every 2.0s, dealing 35 damage and have 7 pierce each. (12 magic shots total)
    • The 6 new shots have a wider spread.
  • Gains 20% chance to distract bloons with its main attack. (40% total)
  • Gains a forcefield attack every 5.0s that can knockback bloons up to Ceramic and MOAB. Affects up to 500 bloons.
    • Adding additional sacrifices does not improve the forcefield attack; rather, the highest Magic sacrifice tier is used to determine the functionality of the forcefield attacks.
  • Can spawn mini Sun Avatars every 15 seconds that deal 4 damage per shot and without any footprint. Because the mini Sun Avatars have a lifespan of 65 seconds, a maximum of 5 mini Sun Avatars can spawn from the same True Sun God at one time. There can not be more than 5 mini Sun Avatars from the True Sun God as of version 22.0, as the spawn rate is no longer increased by attack speed.
Support
  • +5 range to base Temple. (+10 total)
  • 20% discount to all base cost and upgrades of all towers in range. (40% total)
  • +2 damage, 20% attack speed bonus, +3 pierce, +20% range for all towers in range. (+4 damage, 40% attack speed, +6 pierce, +40% range total for all towers in range)
  • +$5000 end of round cash. (+$10000 total)
  • +50% more cash from bloons popped within range of the Temple. (+100% total)
  • The buff from a maxed support sacrifice for the Sun Temple and the True Sun God portion are considered different and unique, even if there is only one support True Sun God, both buff icons will appear.

Vengeful True Sun God[]

Main article: Vengeful True Sun God
A2B1230B-33C3-4C5F-9C07-5BF05BE2C4BB

The 'Vengeful True Sun God'

The Vengeful True Sun God is another possible method of sacrifices to build a True Sun God. The Monkey Knowledge point "There Can Be Only One" is required to unlock it. It requires max sacrifices in all four categories along with separate sacrifices of The Anti-Bloon and Legend of the Night (who must be placed outside of the sacrifice range).

Other Interactions[]

  • The True Sun God upgrade increases its footprint from 20 to 25.
  • The True Sun God can sacrifice another Temple or even another True Sun God in co-op if it is in range.
  • Sun Temples and the True Sun God cannot sacrifice Heroes, Powers, or Paragons.
    • Because Temples have a larger footprint compared with its previous tiers, this means that powers can be inside a Sun Temple or True Sun God's footprint.
  • The Support Chinook is able to place towers inside a Sun Temple, and by extension, the True Sun God's footprint by chinooking a tower next to the Super Monkey before upgrading it to a Sun Temple, then upgrading it while the Chinook is still moving the tower. The Chinook will place the tower in the original spot, in the Sun Temple's footprint, as of v35.
  • Sun Temples and the True Sun God can be placed on water, but they need an Arctic Wind Ice Monkey's ice platforms or a Pontoon to provide a platform for the Sun Avatar. When the Sun Temple is bought near an Arctic Wind, the platform will be sacrificed and the True Sun God will remain on the water.
    • When placed in water, the Carrier Flagship buff and Admiral Brickell's Naval Tactics Ability will buff them, as they are considered water towers.
    • This sometimes sells the towers on the platform, and as a result, is able to heal Gravelord Lych indirectly.
  • The +50% cash buff from popping bloons in range of the True Sun God, and by extension, other temples, stacks with multiple Sun Temples.
  • The Support Class sacrifices do not affect the Golden Spectres or the Mini Sun Avatars.
  • The Support Sun Temple's and True Sun God's increased cash per pop buff applies even in C.H.I.M.P.S., making it the only upgrade path to do so. Monkey Town, a similar upgrade, does not apply in CHIMPS.

Strategy[]

Summary[]

True Sun God is the most powerful tower in the game (without MK) in terms of DPS, possible through maximal sacrificing. Designed exclusively for epic late-game (Rounds 101+), the True Sun God can be used as the main form of DPS, outside of Legend of the Night's temporary black hole passive ability that instantly neutralizes bloons reaching past the exit for a limited time. The True Sun God's performance is greatly enhanced by adding additional tower buffs from as many sources as possible.

To optimize its performance, every single buff possible should be added to the True Sun God on top of careful sacrificing preparations prior to upgrading to Sun Temple and True Sun God. These include, starting from the most important:

  • Jungle Drums (+18% attack speed)
  • Maximum Ultraboost stacks (10x, for a total of +66% attack speed)
  • Consistent Overclock (temporary +66% attack speed, 66% uptime each, try two Overclocks)
  • Permanent Brew (+18% attack speed, +1 damage, +3 pierce, most importantly)
  • Homeland Defense (temporary +100% attack speed and +100% pierce, 44.4% uptime)
  • Multiple Call To Arms (temporary +50% attack speed and +50% pierce to cover the cooldown of Homeland Defense, 3x 66.7% uptime for the best results)
  • An external maxed Support Sacrifices Sun Temple (+20% attack speed, +2 damage, +3 pierce, most importantly)
  • Level 20 Adora's Blood Sacrifice ability (temporary +100% attack speed, +50% range, 600% uptime)
  • Energizer (20% ability cooldown to increase Homeland Defense, Ultraboost, and Adora's Blood Sacrifice ability uptime) if applicable.

By using the "Water Temples" trick, True Sun God can accept yet more buffs. To do the "Water Temples" trick, place a Sun Avatar on an Arctic Wind platform prior to upgrading to Sun Temple, and upgrade the Sun Temple to True Sun God. The following buffs can also be added to the True Sun God if water is available (either from the map or via Portable Lakes):

Alongside all these buffs, True Sun God greatly benefits from all the slows and stuns in the entire game, and in particular:

Debuffs such as Cripple MOAB, Super Brittle and Glue Storm are also very effective for epic late-game at destroying bloons faster with the True Sun God, most specifically when paired with many mini Sun Avatars.

Additional epic late-game tips are shown on BTD6 Freeplay Mode/Strategies, and will show how to reach the highest rounds possible.

Tips[]

  • Make sure to have LOTS of money before and after creating the maximum True Sun God. Additional support can benefit it very well.
  • The 5-2-0 True Sun God is better for covering extra range for utilizing its support sacrifices benefits. 5-0-2 is only useful when camo detection is unavailable externally.
  • The TSG with 2(9,9)-2(9,9)-2(9,9)-1(9) sacrifices is usually the best sacrifice combination. Although a 2-1-2-2 is stronger alone, a 2-2-2-1 is not missing out on the TSG buff, but the temple buff. You can use two support temples to surround the entire map with the temple buff, allowing you to gain the second military sac without losing out on your support.
    • Alone, the 2-1-2-2 is better. This is because the Military sacrifices are generally the weakest, and this can be the one that can be cut from the Sun Temple sacrifices, which accept only up to 3 of 4 categories instead of all 4 for the True Sun God. For one reason, its main attack buffs cap projectile speed and projectile size anyway, and the second reason is that the military sacrifices DPS are not very strong.
    • The "2(9,9)-1(9)-2(9,9)-2(9,9)" nomenclature refers to two parts: maxed Tier 9 sacrifices for Primary, Magic, and Support for the Sun Temple sacrifices; and maxed Tier 9 sacrifices for all 4 sacrifice categories for the True Sun God sacrifices.
  • Add as much support as possible, for the Temple and against the bloons especially since you should have the economy to afford Tier 5 upgrades quite easily at this point. Support with all the possible buffs in the entire game. Slow down the bloons with slows, stuns, and knockback. Add MOAB-class instakills too, especially versus the deadly BADs.
  • If the player opts for 5-2-0 instead of the 5-0-2 path for the True Sun God, the player will have to provide it with camo detection through other means, such as a Monkey Village with Radar Scanner.
  • For Boss Bloon Events, the True Sun God has an advantage against the Vengeful True Sun God if one wants just the Support buffs, as a 0-0-0-2 True Sun God is significantly cheaper.

Version History[]

Balance Changes[]

True Sun God had always held its status as a staple of extreme late-game runs with its ultimate DPS potentials, though the addition of Paragons several years since release of the game has simply made True Sun God the strongest candidate for universal synergies with external buffs.

Optimizations for epic late-game runs are generally the main balance changes listed for the True Sun God, most of which are inherited from the Sun Temple upgrade.

Trivia[]

  • It is currently the 5th most expensive upgrade in the Bloons TD franchise, when excluding its previous upgrades and sacrifice demands, behind the Navarch of the Seas.
    • The new most expensive upgrade in the game is the Goliath Doomship
    • Excluding the Monkeyopolis with impossible amounts of farms, this is the most expensive tower that is able to be discounted by non-difficulty discounts.
  • The name "True" Sun God refers to how the Sun Avatars are merely channeling its power.
  • True Sun God with Support sacrifices is one of the only ways to grant discount to 4th-tier and 5th-tier upgrades, as all Monkey Village upgrades only grant discount bonuses to up to 3rd-tier.
  • True Sun God is one of five towers referenced (or at least had their names said) by a hero, with Captain Churchill saying "The Sun God fights on the side with the best artillery!" and Adora also referencing it by saying "The Temple Provides!". The other four are Blooncineration mentioned by Gwendolin, Spirit of the Forest mentioned by Obyn Greenfoot, The Big One mentioned by Pat Fusty/Fusty the Snowman/Smudge Catt, and Overdrive mentioned by Sentai Churchill.
  • True Sun God's appearance may be partially based on a lemur as it has a ringed tail.
  • The True Sun God is potentially a reference to Golden Frieza from Dragon Ball Super, as the stance it uses in its artwork is similar to that of the stance commonly used by Frieza, especially after transforming.
  • According to Ninja Kiwi's November 12th 2021 blog, True Sun God only sacrifices towers considered as cannon fodder (i.e. expendable units of war), and therefore does not sacrifice Heroes, which have names and therefore does not consider them as cannon fodder.
    • However, the Monkey Names feature seemingly contradicts this lore.
  • According to Ninja Kiwi's January 21st 2022 blog, Ninja Kiwi believes that True Sun God can't see camo because it has sun in its eyes.
