The Vengeful True Sun God (commonly referred to as VTSG or the 5-5-5 Super Monkey) is a special form of the True Sun God added to Bloons TD 6 in Version 3.0. As a dark Monkey deity, the Vengeful True Sun God employs Vengeful Sun Avatars, Dark Spectres, red Sunblasts and additional attacks which all deal twice as much damage (except the Vengeful Mini Sun Avatars, which deal even more) compared to the non-vengeful True Sun God. It is considered by many players to be the most powerful tower crosspath in Bloons TD 6, excluding Bosses in which paragons gain a much higher damage output against. Coupled with tower buffs, the Vengeful True Sun God possesses the highest possible Damage Per Second (DPS) potential of a single tower in the game, making it paramount to extreme late-game runs.[2]
The Vengeful True Sun God is a maximized True Sun God combined with the other Tier 5 Super Monkeys. The Vengeful True Sun God can only be created by (1) enabling the There Can Be Only One MK, and (2) summoning a maximal True Sun God while the The Anti-Bloon and Legend of the Night are present outside its range. If done correctly, the newly upgraded maximal True Sun God will sacrifice both of the other Tier 5 Super Monkeys, transform further to a form sporting a dark and mechanical theme, and receive a substantial bonus in attack damage on all of its attacks. Furthermore, the other Tier 5 Super Monkeys may not be re-bought by the owner as long as the player owns the Vengeful True Sun God.
The Vengeful True Sun God cannot be summoned in Sandbox Mode, nor can it be summoned on C.H.I.M.P.S., where Monkey Knowledge is disabled. A non-vengeful True Sun God will not transform into the Vengeful form other than immediately after upgrading the Sun Temple while the requirements are met. True to its Monkey Knowledge description, only one Vengeful True Sun God can exist on screen, even in co-op.
There is also a secret interaction when a level 20 Adora is placed within range of the Sun Temple as it is upgraded. The Vengeful True Sun God can alter the True Sun Goddess transformation of Adora, converting her into her Vengeful True Sun Goddess form. Also, Vengeful True Sun God can alter the appearance of certain maps such as Adora's Temple and Lotus Island. However, both of these transformations are all purely cosmetic.
The total cost for a Vengeful True Sun God is complex, but it can be summarized as the total cost of the maximal True Sun God (which is complex) together with the other Tier 5 Super Monkeys. The cost section of this page will further explain the total costs in greater detail.
Description
Overview
Vengeful True Sun God
Assuming everything was done correctly, along with the normal animation of upgrading the Sun Temple to the True Sun God, there is another animation immediately after in which the True Sun God, Anti-Bloon, and the Legend of the Night will float up into the air (more so with the latter two), looking up, and a pillar of light will flash until the transfomation is complete and the Vengeful True Sun God form is revealed. This animation is purely aesthetic; the Vengeful True Sun God will be able to attack at full power while the transformation takes place.
Design-wise, the Vengeful True Sun God's visual elements are taken from the constituent Tier 5 towers, for example: True Sun God's overall appearance, The Anti-Bloon's metallic body and red eyes, and the Legend of the Night's dark color scheme. The Vengeful True Sun God now wears a round metal halo with an embedded red gem. It's mechanical body features red lines running across it.
Vengeful True Sun God is just like a normal True Sun God except all its attacks dealing substantially more damage. The main sunbeams now deal +35 more damage than its non-vengeful form. It does not inherit the abilities of the other two Tier 5 Super Monkeys.
See the #Creating a Vengeful True Sun God for detailed information about summoning a VTSG. The #Sacrifices section can be looked at to see further information about Vengeful True Sun God's various sacrifices.
Targeting Priorities
Vengeful 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.
Cost
Combining the sacrificing costs and the upgrade cost of the True Sun God upgrade itself altogether, the Vengeful True Sun God costs the following from scratch from these difficulties:
- $1,254,910+ on Easy (7 * $50,000+ 3 tower categories for the first sacrifice, and four tower categories for the second sacrifice, $102,765 for 0-5-0 Anti-Bloon, $265,370 for 0-0-5 Legend of the Night, $536,775 for the True Sun God upgrade).
- $1,414,600+ on Medium (7 * $50,000+ 3 tower categories for the first sacrifice, and four tower categories for the second sacrifice, $120,900 for 0-5-0 Anti-Bloon, $312,200 for 0-0-5 Legend of the Night, $631,500 for the True Sun God upgrade).
- $1,499,765+ on Hard (7 * $50,000+ 3 tower categories for the first sacrifice, and four tower categories for the second sacrifice, $130,570 for 0-5-0 Anti-Bloon, $337,175 for 0-0-5 Legend of the Night, $682,020 for the True Sun God upgrade).
- $1,772,600+ on Impoppable (7 * $50,000+ for the 3 tower categories for the first sacrifice, and four tower categories for the second sacrifice, $145,080 for 0-5-0 Anti-Bloon, $374,640 for 0-0-5 Legend of the Night, $757,800 for the True Sun God upgrade).
Remember, in order to summon the VTSG, the player must purchase a True Sun God and its preceding upgrades, an Anti-Bloon and its preceding upgrades, a Legend of the Night and its preceding upgrades, and a total of at least $350,000 in sacrifices.
Creating a Vengeful True Sun God
Stages of summoning Vengeful True Sun God
In order to summon the Vengeful True Sun God, the player must follow the steps below:
- Have
There Can Be Only One MK unlocked, have Monkey Knowledge enabled, play on a mode other than Sandbox Mode and C.H.I.M.P.S. (The specific knowledge point is disabled in Sandbox Mode, and all monkey knowledge is disabled in C.H.I.M.P.S.) - Build a Sun Temple with max sacrifices ($50,000 spent) in 3 out of 4 tower categories, and then prepare $50,000+ sacrifices for all categories of towers for the True Sun God. Bear in mind that some towers may be discounted around the newly upgraded Sun Temple, especially if the player has sacrificed Support towers, so ensure the sell prices of each category sum up to more than $35,000 (or more than $37,500 with the Better Sell Deals MK).
- Outside of the Temple's range, place and upgrade The Anti-Bloon (x-5-x Super Monkey) and the Legend of The Night (x-x-5 Super Monkey); they cannot be sacrificed to the creation of the TSG, otherwise the upgrade to VTSG will fail.
- Upgrade the Sun Temple into True Sun God. Upon upgrading, the game will first animate the creation of the True Sun God and then absorb the Anti-Bloon and Legend of the Night, becoming a powerful Dark Temple.
The Troubleshooting section acts as a slightly condensed version of this section and may be more helpful if the player cannot create the VTSG.
The Vengeful True Sun God has maximal sacrifices on both the Sun Temple and the True Sun God, so it will always be some variation of 2/1/2/2. It is impossible to have a 1/1/1/1 Tier 4 Sun Temple. The tier of sacrifice paths for Sun Temple carry over when having the second set of sacrifices inputted to create a True Sun God.
Troubleshooting
This section includes various requirements that are frequently missed when building the Vengeful True Sun God. It also serves as a more condensed version of the steps to create a VTSG.
Ensure that:
- The There Can Be Only One MK in the Magic section has been enabled.
- Monkey Knowledge is not disabled (from the Monkey Knowledge menu), and that the selected game mode is not playing in CHIMPS or Sandbox mode, which automatically disables Monkey Knowledge.
- At least $50,000 worth of towers in three categories (out of Primary, Military, Magic, Support) to the Tier 4 Sun Temple (ie. $150,000 or more total in sacrifices) have been sacrificed.
- At least $50,000 worth of towers in all categories (Primary, Military, Magic, Support) to the Tier 5 True Sun God (ie. $200,000 or more total in sacrifices) have been sacrificed.
- The Legend of the Night and The Anti-Bloon have been purchased, but not within the range of sacrificing to the True Sun God prior to the second and final sacrifice.
To quickly check if the value of each sacrifice category cost $50,000 or more, check the sell price(s) for each tower. To do so, ensure the sell prices of each category sum up to more than $35,000 (default 70% sellback). However, the sell value of all towers can be higher with 
Better Sell Deals MK (+5%) and nearby Monkey Buccaneer with x-x-4 Favored Trades (+10%). All such effects stack for a sell value of 85%. So add $2,500 (5%) if Better Sell Deals is on, and add $5,000 (10%) for nearby Favored Trades.
- The Monkey Knowledge Flat Pack Buildings increases the sellback of all Banana Farms by +2% (+$1,000 for $50,000 Support sacrifices). Banana Farms with x-x-2 Banana Salvage upgrade onwards further increase their own sell for an additional +10% so add a further $5,000 for the Banana Farm itself. This increases all the way to the 95% maximum sellback cap, so just assume 95% sellback ($47,500), rather than the theoretical 97% sellback.
- The Monkey Knowledge Flat Pack Buildings increases the sellback of all Monkey Villages by +2% (+$1,000 for $50,000 Support sacrifices). Similarly to Banana Farms, take into account a little more sellback when going for Villages.
- For any monkey (except Banana Farm and Monkey Village), a sell cost of $42,500 (85%) will always be guaranteed to have cost at least $50,000.
Towers to sacrifice
When sacrificing towers to the VTSG, its important to know what towers will get the player maxed sacrifices for each category for the least amount of cash so that the player does not have to spend anymore than they need to. However, it is nearly impossible to exactly spend $50,000 in each category due to the difficulty's price multipliers and how the cumulative Tier 5 (the base price of a tower, plus Tier 1 to 5 in one path and maybe the other tiers in another path) upgrades may undershoot or overshoot the $50,000 minimum threshold required for maximum sacrifices. This section will show what towers and upgrades can cross the $50,000 sacrifice threshold for the least amount of money for each difficulty. This can also be applied to Sun Temple.
Note that these prices are without Monkey knowledge. This means that some prices might not be correct for some towers and upgrades, especially for Military Monkeys with the 
Military Conscription and 
Advanced Logistics Monkey Knowledge.

Sacrifices
Pre-Transformation Sacrifices
There is no additional requirement of the two sets of sacrifices required to form a Vengeful True Sun God besides both sets being maximal. The only extra sacrifice is that on the second and final sacrifice, the player must own both other Tier 5 Super Monkeys, placed outside of the maximal Sun Temple's sacrifice range.
Fully Maxed Vengeful True Sun God
Extra bonuses compared to True Sun God are in bold:
- Primary
- +10 pierce to main attack.
- +~177.77% attack speed to main attack (0.36x attack cooldown).
- +15 damage to main attack (65 damage total).
- 16 dark blades total every 1.5 seconds, deals 500 damage (damage doubled), and has 200 pierce. Dark blades are split between 22.5° from each other.
- Two Dark glaives that fires every 0.5 sec. Dark glaives now have 300 damage (damage doubled) and 50 pierce.
- Military
- +90% larger projectile size (caps at 100%, but impossible)
- +90% projectile speed (caps at 100%, but impossible)
- +20 pierce to all attacks
- Two dark missiles in total every 1.0 seconds. Travels at infinite range and deals 2 damage with a bonus 148 MOAB damage to up to 50 bloons (damage doubled). Second missile has increased projectile speed.
- Four dark Spectres in total that shoots darts and bombs every 0.15s. Darts deal 30 damage and have 10 pierce, while bombs deal 20 damage and have 30 pierce (damage doubled).
- Magic
- 12 homing magic shots that fire every 2.0s, dealing 350 damage (damage doubled) and have 15 pierce each.
- Gains a 40% chance to distract bloons with its main attack.
- 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 2 mini dark Sun Avatars every 30 seconds that deal 29 damage per shot (+25 additional) and without any footprint.
- Because the mini dark Sun Avatars have a lifespan of 65 seconds, a maximum of 6 mini dark Sun Avatars can appear on the map at one time. There can not be more than 6 mini dark Sun Avatars as of version 22.0, as the spawn rate is no longer increased by attack speed.
- Support
- +10 range to base Temple
- 40% discount to all base cost and upgrades of all towers in range
- +2 damage, 23.5% attack speed bonus (0.81x attack cooldown), +3 pierce, +20% range for all towers in range. (+4 damage, 52.4% attack speed (0.6561x attack cooldown), +6 pierce, +40% range total for all towers in range)
- +$10000 end of round cash
- +100% more cash from bloons popped within range of the Temple
- Unlike the True Sun God, for a x/x/x/2 VTSG, the buff icon shows only the VTSG Buff and not the Sun Temple Buff, even though it is applied.
Strategy
Summary
The Vengeful True Sun God is preferred over the three Tier 5 Monkeys present separately. The strategy for the VTSG is largely identical to the TSG, with the exception that the Legend of the Night is disabled.
Vengeful True Sun God is the most expensive option that still retains capability to accept all universal tower buffs, unlike the Paragons inspired by it, which do not benefit from them. Paragons are specifically designed to exceed the VTSG against Boss Bloons, so the VTSG doesn't see much utility in Boss Events unless more Paragons could not be deployed.
Tips
- Put it in the center to make it use its range to pop maximum bloons, as well as ensure its support buff is distributed to the maximum amount of towers.
- The optimal Vengeful setup varies depending on how much money you have. Alone, a 2-1-2-2 is best due to the support sacrifices buffing the Vengeful Sun Avatars, which do the majority of the DPS. However, if you have enough money, you can use a 2-2-2-1 to make a pseudo 2-2-2-2. This is because a 2-2-2-1 gives the Vengeful True Sun God buff, not the Sun Temple buff. The Sun Temple buff can be added back with one or two 1-0-1-1 support temples to cover the entire map. The main VTSG will also get the support temple buff, so the tradeoff is worth.
- If tight on cash, which would primarily happen in a boss event, a 2-1-2-2 VTSG would be better.
- Again, boosting the Vengeful God with a Permanent Brew Alchemist is highly advised as it boosts the rate of the Vengeful God's various attacks.
- Note that Dark Avatars are considered sub-towers and therefore are not able to be directly buffed by Permanent Brew.
- However, the Avatars are able to be affected by area-of-effect buffs, such as Homeland Defense's attack speed increase.
- Note that Dark Avatars are considered sub-towers and therefore are not able to be directly buffed by Permanent Brew.
- Use Overclocks and Ultraboosts for +66% increased attack speed. Ultraboost in particular adds a +6.67% permanent attack speed buff to the VTSG that stacks up to 10 times, on top of any Overclock abilities and any other attack speed buffs.
- A tier 4 Sun Temple with support sacrifices can boost the power of the Vengeful Temple and other late game support.
- Placing a 3xx Super Monkey on water using a x3x Arctic Wind Ice Monkey can increase the tower's attack speed. Upgrading the Super Monkey to a 4xx turns it into a water tower, as it sacrifices the Ice Monkey and it continues to sit on the water. Because it becomes a water tower, it gets the passive attack speed buff from Carrier Flagship and Admiral Brickell's level 3 ability.
- The 5-2-0 crosspath allows its powerful beam attacks to be utilized more often, due to bloons being within range more often, and the Support Sacrifices benefits can extend across a wider range. 5-0-2 can be useful for bonus knockback because of the incredible pierce of the Vengeful True Sun God, but 5-2-0 compensates for the lack of added knockback by combatting BADs better, while other towers can handle the DDTs in other ways.
- While a 5-0-2 can easily solo to round 100 with no problem (since 5-2-0 requires external camo detection), the VTSG is incapable of popping Golden Bloons. Any attempt to have it pop the Golden Bloon will result in the Golden Bloon jumping to the end rapidly due to the invulnerability when the Golden Bloon gets hit.
- Because a Vengeful True Sun God requires a complex set of sacrifices, it takes a minimum of 10 different towers (1 from the Super itself, 3 from first sacrifice, 4 from second sacrifice, 2 from the AB and LoTN sacrifice) to get a VTSG. It also takes a minimum of 4 different tower types to make a VTSG, assuming other Super Monkeys are used in the formula for sacrificing. And finally, when taking into account max towers on screen, it takes a minimum of 7 towers on screen at once to be able to make a VTSG.
- Having a Vengeful True Sun God is highly recommended when combatting Elite Boss Bloons, due to the high HP of Elite Bosses that very few towers can whittle down.
- Note that the sacrifice progression is longer when upgrading to Vengeful True Sun God, due to needing to absorb the other required T5 Super Monkeys. If possible, try to get a Vengeful True Sun God before a round starts, and turn off Auto Start.
Version History
Balance Changes
Version 14.0 had reworked the strength of sacrifices to reduce the power of mini-Avatars while increasing that for other attacks. Rohan from NK noted that the overwhelming damage output of mini-Avatars was a bug, so instead of outright removing the bonus mini-Avatar nerf, they instead changed the VTSG to allow the alternate sacrifice attacks to gain 3x damage (later changed to 2x damage), alongside the rework of Sun Temple sacrifice damage output.
Most other balance changes are mostly inherited from those that apply to True Sun God. However, Version 27.0 nerfed VTSG to give way for Paragons and better variety during the extreme late-game. With future Paragons being released, the Vengeful True Sun God has moved out of the meta for Bosses, although still a meta option in extreme late-game runs. However, Version 45.0 reworked it and other Temples to be stronger overall with the Primary sacrifices.
- 3.0
- Added Vengeful True Sun God
- 14.0
The +50 damage to mini-Avatars was possibly unintended originally, but in the 14.0 patch notes, it was labelled as a balance change. It is also speculated that the damage increase coming along with pierce and damage attack nerfs is to reduce lag by reducing the number of projectiles on screen at once. The changes affecting the True Sun God carrying over to the Vengeful True Sun God are calculated with the actual stats of the Vengeful True Sun God, not the True Sun God. This section is adapted from the 14.0 patch notes.

| “ | We haven't looked much at Temples since the release of other paragons, as these have solidly carved out a place for themselves in Boss Events the original Temple has fallen behind, we wanted to try work on this again by improving upon the weaker temple sub-attacks, with this increased power we've also reduced the basic attack pierce gained on the main temple attack. We will be reviewing temple balance further soon so if, any of your feedback on this Rules, then we'll take that under consideration for our next look. | ” |

Trivia
- The VTSG is also internally known as the 5-5-5 Super Monkey, due to the fact that when existing, neither Anti-Bloon or Legend of the Night can be bought. However, it does not share their abilities, but rather, doubles the strength of its attacks. It is the first 5-5-5 tower in the game, and the inspiration of the Paragons after several years.
- In the sprite files of the game, it says that it is a 5-5-5 True Sun God. Every texture that involves the Vengeful Avatar is indicated as "TrueSunGod555" as the normal True Sun God is called "TrueSunGod5xx"
- Its projectiles sprites are also said to be "555", while the normal True Sun God sprites are not.
- The only similarity between VTSG and Paragons is having 2 Tier 5s sacrificed when creating it, however there are far more differences.
- To make it easier for towers that the player does not want to be sacrficed (The Anti-Bloon and LoTN and any upgraded Banana Farms, most notably) it is advised that the player not crosspath into the middle path until after the Vengeful God is aquired if the player wants to crosspath the middle path. Otherwise, do not worry about when to crosspath.
- Even in co-op games that allow for multiple Tier 5 towers as long as they are from different players, only one Vengeful Monkey can be created at a time. However, creating a Vengeful True Sun God will not disable the ability for other players to place tier 5 Super Monkeys, and attempting to create a Vengeful True Sun God with multiple Anti-Bloons or Legends of the Night on the screen will only sacrifice the Anti-Bloon and Legend of the Night of the player who upgraded to True Sun God.
- Even though it is not possible to use Vengeful True Sun God in Sandbox Mode, it is possible to "test" a Vengeful True Sun God on Challenge Editor.
- The mini Dark Sun Avatar artwork actually smiles instead of making a tilted frown.
- Prior to Version 14.0, the Vengeful True Sun God's mini Dark Sun Avatars would deal just over 50× more damage than a normal mini Sun Avatar (specifically from 1 damage per shot to 51 damage per shot). Rohan stated that this was a bug, and this unusual damage buff was replaced by a much weaker damage buff since Version 14.0.
- Even though Version 19.0 added a separate money counter for almost all towers, it has not been yet implemented for Lead to Gold, Rubber to Gold, Monkey Town (and by extent Monkey City), Pirate Lord, Support Chinook (and by extent Special Poperations), and Jungle's Bounty. It has yet to be fully implemented for Spirit of the Forest (ability only), and Sun Temple and True Sun God / Vengeful True Sun God with Support sacrifices.
- Specifically, the income-per-pop part is not yet implemented, but the end-of-round cash has, however.
- The Vengeful True Sun God appears to be based off of the Temple of the Vengeful Monkey from the Bloons TD 5 generation; additionally, one of the unofficial names "Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey" is coined in reference to it.
- Many redditors at r/btd6 ridiculed Bloons Wiki's chosen name for the Vengeful True Sun God as "Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey", commenting about the name's implausible obscurity and poking fun at this name choice with memes. After almost three years, the name of this page was changed to "Vengeful True Sun God" (page moved on June 7th 2021), and subsequently most pages that used the old name have been modified to no longer use it.
- Ninja Kiwi actually acknowledges the term "VTSG" in some of their patch notes. The first instance of such was from their Version 27.0 patch notes when nerfing the VTSG, and the second instance came from Version 32.0 when buffing the Legend of the Night to validate that tower as more than "VTSG fodder".
Ninja Kiwi Blogs
- In the July 16th, 2021 Ninja Kiwi Blog, it was confirmed that the MK "There Can Be Only One" will not change when the Super Monkey Paragon is released in the future.
- According to the "What's Up At Ninja Kiwi?" blog, specifically on the 16th July 2021 edition, the official name for the VTSG is "Frankie Fitzgerald".
- According to NK's October 8th 2021 blog, Ninja Kiwi states that VTSG may be a completely separate entity.

- ↑ Outside of Instakilling and Percentage based Damage attacks in specific situations, such as the Grand Saboteur and the Legend of the Night's Black Hole ability. Though certain types of maximized Paragons can outclass an unbuffed VTSG, a VTSG maintains its supremacy as the tower with highest damage output as it can receive even further buffs unlike Paragons.
