What is a BTD6 Paragon Calculator?

A BTD6 Paragon Calculator is a planning tool for estimating the degree a Paragon will receive before you build it. Instead of guessing from tower value alone, it converts each resource into internal Paragon Power and applies the category caps that matter in-game.

The default v57 profile removes tier Power and uses an 80,000 shared cash cap and 125,000 damage/income cap. Historical v56.3 remains independent. Patch notes were checked through v57.3; v57.4 was observed on App Store with detailed changes still unverified.

How the calculator works

The calculator floors resource conversions, caps each category, adds the capped category power, caps effective total power at 200,000, then chooses the highest degree whose required power is not above the effective total.

What affects Paragon Degree?

In v57, Degree uses eligible non-T5 cash, slider investment, damage and qualifying income, legal extra Tier 5s, and available Geraldo Totems. Ordinary upgrade tiers themselves add zero Power. The first three Tier 5 towers are required to create a Paragon and do not count as extra Tier 5s.

Power sources explained

Damage and qualifying income share a 125,000 cap; cash sources share 80,000; legal extra T5s cap at 50,000. Totems add 2,000 each when Geraldo is available. The final effective limit is 200,000. Historical caps are visible in the version comparison.

Target Degree planner

The planner shows missing power for your selected target and translates it into practical alternatives. It does not recommend additional pops, cash, tiers, or extra Tier 5s when that category is already capped.

Degree 100 planning

Degree 100 requires 200,000 effective Power. Expanded v57 cash and damage can reach it in a mathematically eligible solo plan without Totems. The old Degree 91 solo ceiling belongs to v56.3. Actual event restrictions, cash and time still apply.

FAQ

What changed in v57?

Ordinary tiers add zero Power. Cash caps at 80,000 and damage plus qualifying income at 125,000; effective total still caps at 200,000.

Can solo reach 100 without Geraldo?

An eligible v57 cash-and-damage plan can mathematically reach 200,000 without Totems. Actual event restrictions and resources must still permit it.

What has been verified?

Official cap changes and the complete integer threshold table are checked. Exact game rounding, some prices, knowledge and platform rollout remain qualified in the source notes.
