##### New Awesome

- New Paragon, the Nautic Siege Core!

- Starting the new year with a Paragon was a push for the team, especially alongside the launch of BTD6+ on Vision Pro, but we’re really happy with how the versatility has turned out, as the Monkey Sub Paragon provides assistance in different ways depending on its current form.
- Unsubmerged the Sub utilizes powerful missile attacks, launching powerful pre-emptive AoE missiles at every target to spawn, while unloading a barrage of airburst rockets at anything it, or any of your other towers, can see. Advanced Intel insanity is super fun.
- While Submerged the sub attacks with a radiation aura that obliterates a huge number of smaller targets with ease, but the main uses in this form are the massive damage and pierce buffs to all Heroes & other Subs within radius. Really hoping to encourage some fun placement synergies here.
- At all times Submerged or not, the Final Strike ability can be called on to unleash devastation. That really should be capital “D” Devastation.

- New Map, Sulphur Springs

- We’ve had fun roundabout maps in BTD5 and we harken to that around a different visual theme than usual and effort behind specific placement locations.

- New Quests

- Pat Fusty Hero Test
- Psi Hero Test
- MOAB Madness - still great and even better

- New Trophy Store Items

- Heroes: Benjamin pet - it’s a mouse of course! Yes, we couldn’t resist.
- Bloons: MOAB Bee skin, because, well, bees
- Game & UI: Dread Rising avatar (Dreadbloon), Year of the Wood Dragon profile banner

- Limited Time only

- Powers: Pontoon Chocolate Bar
- Avatar: Flower Friends Corvus

- New CT Team Store items

- Base Props: Wizard Apprentice prop
- Team Banners: Monkey Squad banner
- Icons: Year of the Dragon icon, Cheeping Chick icon
- Frames: Year of the Dragon frame, Bees N’ Flowers frame

##### Game Changes / Additions

- Much requested, Apopalypse Mode now grants end of round cash. We’ve agreed that start strategies feel too limited, especially on harder maps, so this is intended to bring more variety back to the mode.
- As always intended, Boss Challenge mode now allows for co-op, with separate score tracking for all player counts
- Looking back and reviewing CHIMPS in the game in general over the past few years we feel that there are 2 main standout problems. The first is that CHIMPS is unapproachable for new players and a very difficult gameplay loop to initially get excited about and break into, and the second is that the majority of the people who are invested in this gameplay loop already don’t play it within the base game most of the time since the Challenge Editor makes it more approachable. Given this we have made the following changes:

- CHIMPS mode now allows for a 'Retry Last Round' option, upon defeat allowing players to reload the previous round before the defeat occurred
- This is essentially a ‘home + reload save’ rather than a ‘Continue’ and so choosing to retry at any point will invalidate the run for any Black Medal purposes, but still grants the Red Medal on completion.
- It is important to us that CHIMPS remains a completely fair free to play pinnacle endgame experience, so this option will remain free to use just like in custom challenge creation

- Maps Menu Search Functionality

- Players can now search within the maps menu to more easily track down the ones they are looking for, map names are also localized to the current language the player has set

- Along with this a number of QoL terms can be used for fi
