Questions from the comments:
are the heroes normal monkeys that pursued a different path? is quincy a crossbow monkey that decided normal bows were better? maybe obyn being a top path wizard that learned from the druids? is brickell a top path boat that thought sea mines were better than darts? Etc.
All the heroes have different origin stories but some of them did start out as just “normal” monkeys!
What types/classes of magic are there?
There are a few overall types which include the arcane, the elemental and divine. These then get into the different classes of those types. Like the druids lightning vs the wizard's fire! We can also get into many other types of magic such as necromantic, multicasting, eldritch marshall magic, innate magic, so many different types of wizard magic such as Transmutation, Enchantment, Divination, Abjuration, Conjuration, Evocation, Illusion and so on and so on… You can probably tell we are a little bit nerdy.
Is geraldo secretly santa?
Ho Ho No… well, maybe?
can the cave monkey become an official tower?
What do you mean!? The cave monkey is there! They are just…chilling out..
What does the True Sun God do after you sell it?
Also returns to its home!
Are you working on a new monkey?
Currently, no.
Since the Wizard Paragon was confirmed to be the 7th Paragon, I just have one question: will it be the Wizard Lord?!
You will have to wait and see…
is clear from past posts that you all have a deep connection to the personalities and world of the monkeys, and that you often think about how they would think and act. do you have any plans for some kind of tie in show or webcomic starring the Bloons world? or some kind of meet the team like series of videos for the heroes?
It is something the team has discussed just because of how amazing it would be but it’s not something we have looked into.
Will the alchemist buff ever synergize with engineer turrets? AKA if engineer has the potion then the turrets also have it, when he runs out they also run out.
It is unlikely at the moment, the potions don’t tend to go very well with the turrets gears…
Do you ever plan on adding old tracks from previous Bloons Tower Defense games into Bloons Tower Defense 6? I really enjoyed maps such as 3 Times Around and Forest Path and would love to re-experience them with Bloons Tower Defense 6 Towers and upgrades!
We aren’t planning it at the moment but it is something we would like to do at some point! Unfortunately, it really doesn’t save any time over fully creating something new, which we’d rather do most of the time.
When will update 32.0 drop?
When it’s good and ready! :)
Are there Bloons more powerful than Boss Bloons?
*Shudders* We hope not!
Is there a possibility of Max from BATTD being added into BTD6?
He’s a little busy over in the Adventure Time universe but maybe!
I must ask, where’s Al gone off to? (Al owned Al’s custom chippers in btd5, with Bloonchippers being out of business, what’s he doing now?)
With all the Helis, Planes, ships and mechanical towers, he is happily helping maintain the Monkey's fighting force!
if bloons have to prepare so they can't just send a B.A.D round 1 why don't they just take a B.A.D from another game that already has gotten to round 100 and use it same goes for monkeys
Some of these areas are really far away from each other so that still takes time!
Can a paragon of a certain tower take other forms as well? Like, you know, a juggernaut-shooting crossbow instead of a ballista.
Not currently, maybe in an alternate universe!
If someone somehow managed to 100% complete every nk game ever made. What would anything special happen. Asking for a friend wink* wink*.
It would be really cool and honestly super impressive but there isn’t anything special set up for it.
I remember a while ago that you announced that BTD6 will be coming out on consoles somewhere here. How much progress is done on it?
We don’t really have any progress we can share on it other than the team is still working on it! :)
If bloonarius doesn't feel any pain then how does he know when to use his "special attack"? Plus , will ever bloonarius spew a different set of bloons every single boss event with this green chonky boi?
They get an alert to send it! The Bloons likely won’t change though.
If the bloons are controlled by the bloonminati, who or what leads the monkeys? Do they have an elected leader?
They have elected leaders like Mayor Monkey!
For the planned ace paragon, would it cost the most amongst the others?
We aren’t able to say as prices can change a lot through the balancing process.
What would happen if a monkey got trained to be two separate tower types? Like for example, they receive both wizard and darling training?
Rapid-fire Magic Missile would be outstanding!
will you give pat a morbius skin?
But he doesn’t want to bite anyone!
If there will be a heli-paragon, will the description be something like "This is the greatest plaaannnn" as a reverence to Henry Bloonman? Or will it be something else entirely?
Our team does enjoy sneaky references… but we’d have to see the paragon itself first!
A while back I replaced all the dart monkey darts with solid gold darts. I realize now that I have just committed a crime for tampering with military equipment and now Im on the run from the law. Where is the best place to hide?
Nobody knows, otherwise, it would not be the best place to hide! :)
With the teasers for the next BTD6 update the contested territory and the teams stuff looks pretty much the same as Bloons POP's party crashers system. Is it basically the same?
It is similar but with a few changes to fit the BTD6 playstyle!
Do the monkeys ever get sunburn?
Just like humans, monkeys can get sunburnt! Thankfully they make sure to slip, slop, slap and wrap!
Which gym does Pat Fusty train at?
Pop’s Gym!
How did the Bloonchipper get into the Scrapyard?
It wasn’t needed so it was scrapped
will special missions ever return in a future BTD series game?
Maybe one day!
Will the bloons attack my house?
As long as there are monkeys around everyone will be safe!
Have a great weekend and happy gaming!

Is Battling a sport in the Bloons universe?
Why is vortex so different in btd6 when bloonarius in btd6 is at least kind of similar to how it was in bmc?
In regards to the new modes in Battles 2, when will we be able to select them in private games? Same with Random Quad and future modes?

If you were going to add another primary class paragon, which tower would you give the paragon upgrade to next?
What happens to the engineer monkey who opens the dam in Flooded Valley? Are they okay? Tell them we all salute them for their bravery.

Q1: The Buccaneer Paragon is currently the only Paragon to have an Activated Ability. Do you think any future Paragons will have Activated Abilities as well? Q2: What are the heroes' favorite songs to listen to? Does Obyn enjoy more nature-y music, while Brickell prefers songs that could be associated with the sea?
