Why MILITARY Is The WORST Temple Sacrifice (Bloons TD 6)

Why MILITARY Is The WORST Temple Sacrifice in BTD6 / Bloons TD 6 - recently I've been getting a lot of comments in the youtube section & streams asking me why I skip the military category when I go for my temples, specifically during my boss runs. Here I explain the reasoning for it using numbers and logic.

To reiterate it's certainly not useless, but it's the most expendable in most cases (like bloonarius). Check out the misconceptions video done in a similar style to this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWTGhZmKqcZkjbM

For bloonarius the support temple rush strat is so good. You make money, get cheaper farms, and make the main temple so much cheaper.

@@csabacsapo1864 it's simple just get a temple with only support sacrifices. It isn't easy to get but when u get it ...

[@TimberJackEB]

The discount from support Temple offsets the additional cost of getting it if you're going for a Vengeful Monkey. Massive discounts to Tech Terror, the Legend, and of course the True Sun God and the temple that comes before. Just remember not to get range on your main Supermonkey until you've got the sacs. Edit: whoops, ISAB already explains this later in the video.

[@icelick6912]

as a single tower, support VTSG straight up does more damage than 2221 VTSG

[@sapphire--9375]

Vtsg requires maxed out sacrifices so they’re basically the same?

[@magicmeatball4013]

@@sapphire--9375 vtsg requires 3 sacs on sun temple and 4 sacs on tsg

[@JonDoe-wk9qc]

@@sapphire--9375 Max sacrifices is 3/4 for t4 temple and 4/4 for t5 temple. Due to it only being 3/4 categories for t4, there are 4 different vtsgs, each forgoing a second sacrifice in one category. Double support is very important without another t4 support temple because it double buffs the mini avatars, and as seen in the video, that buff is very important for total dps.

[@sapphire--9375]

@@JonDoe-wk9qc So it’s impossible to get the tier 5 support temple buff if you don’t go support vtsg, making it extremely useful in general. I see now, thanks.

[@JonDoe-wk9qc]

@@sapphire--9375 Not quite. While t4 and t5 support buffs are functionally identical in strength, they are 2 separate buffs. The t4 temple's support sacrifice is one type, seen on other towers as a sun temple icon. The t5 buff is seen on other towers as a tsg icon. If you skip support at t4, your 2221 vtsg will only give the tsg buff. The sun temple buff can then be stacked on by a separate xxx1 t4 temple.

I'm surprised by the fact that it beats military in the damage test. Even if it was a bit weaker, I would still say support is better because it also 1. generates a lot of money 2. provides a huge, unique discount 3. buffs everything else significantly

[@David.77]

I've been wanting to know about this, thank you for the informative video ISAB! :)

[@Nightmare_52]

i prefer having a couple temples with support to reach across the whole map then use the rest of my temples for pure damage

[@webbowser8834]

Fun fact: If you have a support temple being buffed by level 20 Adora active and epic range, you can easily cover the entire map with just a single support temple. Adora is super fun for freeplay shennanigans.

Isn’t the spectre thing related to cost? Cos it said spectre 1 and spectre 2 but for the primarysacrifices 1 and 2 referenced the type of projectile depending on money spent, so I’d imagine that the stats for spectres were for money spent

[@somethingfunny9488]

It caps at 50K, like all sacrifices

As shown at 2:33 you get 1 specter 1 and 1 specter 2 for 50k in military. Meanwhile 50k of primary gives you the strongest levels of the blades and glaives.

[@johnsteele9283]

Isab you should do bloonarius challenge like most pops on one tower or fewest amount of towers

[@colossaldonut5190]

Fun fact for the initial 1110 test. You had a 4-2-0 temple (you can tell by the headdress and the red stripe on the temple) but in the 1011 temple test you did not. This even further exacerbates how good the 1011 temple is! Personally, I had no idea the temple buff (or any buff) worked on the mini avatars!

[@lukegrim3858]

I feel like it's critically important to do this test with 10 ultraboost stacks + overclock because you'll always go for it on a Vengeful, military benefits from it and magic avatars don't. Either way good video and I agree support is underrated but probably not better than military if all you want is max dps out of a fully buffed Vengeful

[@SwiftNinjask]

exactly. In basically all late-game scenarios you will have ultraboost, and ever since NK put a cap on the # of avatars spawned magic isn't quite as good.

[@Santisima_Trinidad]

So, whilst you are correct about the magic avatars not inheriting the ultraboost stacks, you are forgetting something, which is that Vengeful gives a 2× damage buff to all sub spawns, applied after additive damage buffs. Which means a double support, which gives plus 4 damage to each avatar projectile, suddenly becomes a +8buff. Which is significantly more than a +4 buff from single support. And the mini sun avatars are far stronger than military planes, so, whilst the overclock buff might level the playingfield somewhat, i really doubt that it will actually outdo the extra support buff. But that is only without a second support temple.

[@SCRKT007]

@@Santisima_Trinidad thats kind of the mistake of this video specifically, you always buy a support temple instead when going for high rounds and just squeeze out the highest dps you can get on the main vtsg, Its always included in terms of overbuffing and ik he talked about how money might be a problem but that can be solved by learning how to do it properly instead, reading guides = higher capped vtsg

[@officergreg1318]

This is wrong. As long as it’s 50k or more it doesn’t matter how much it costs. Military is the worst sacrifice

[@lukebeich]

9:30 I thought that as well, that a 2-2-2-1 TSG + a 1-0-1-1 Temple would result in the best overall DPS, but I think there are two aspects to investigate further imo: 1) since both TSG and temple can apply their buffs, a 2-1-2-2 TSG + a 1-0-1-1 temple will give you 3 times the support buffs, instead of just two of the 2-2-2-1 TSG + support temple. It would be interesting to see how much impact it will have. 2) I can't really judge how good the military "projectile size" buff is and how much impact it has on the overall DPS. Doesn't a larger projectile size means that more bloons will be hit by the same projectile? Isn't that similar to a splash dmg effect then? If so, then I wouldn't underestimate the impact of such buff in super late rounds when bloons fills up the screen.
