##### Key New Features

- New Legends DLC - Frontier Legends

YEEHAWW! Saddle up, partners! It is our incredible pleasure to introduce our second game-within-a-game Legends drop - Frontier Legends! This DLC is the longest and most robust long-form story game we’ve built at Ninja Kiwi, and we sincerely hope you enjoy the experience. If we were to describe it in BTD6 main game terms, it’s like an Odyssey Quest across 50+ maps in a huge 3D world, plus mini games, persistent currency and upgrades, and RPG-style Monkeys with prefix names that correspond to unique traits.

We have gotten so much fan art over the years about the maps being connected, we decided to pay homage to that in a pretty huge semi-open world. We love discussing canon with the community and often intentionally dodging questions of exactly what is canon, and we felt ready to tell a story that adds lore and whimsy to the Blooniverse.

Relative to Rogue Legends, the size of Frontier Legends DLC and the development effort behind it are both significantly larger and the slightly higher price of US$12.99 reflects that.

Check out all of the awesomerness included in Frontier Legends!

- Build your Sheriff by mixing and matching Hats, Torso Equipment, Weapons, and Consumables - and don’t forget to bring along your favourite pet companion!
- Mosey on over to the Saloon to recruit hired monkeys with their own unique names and randomized traits

- Sometimes a Legendary Recruit may show up, so keep an eye out for them!
- Multiple Heroes, as you journey through the Frontier world, you can increase the normal hero limit by earning Deputy Stars. I wonder how high this can go?

- Face 6 new specialized Bloons unique to Frontier Legends introduced throughout all new round sets

- Dynamite Bloons: Careful of that blast radius
- Glass Bloons: Some projectiles bounce right off
- Diamond Bloons: So shiny those high damage attacks lose their luster
- Aura Bloons: These farm so hard nearby Bloons are inspired
- Retribution Bloons: Sometimes what you hit can hit you back
- Ringleader Bloons: So influential they shield nearby Bloons from damage

- Diamondback, the new and terrifying multi-segment Boss Bloon

- This boss will be exclusive to Frontier at launch, but we will be adapting it for inclusion in the base game next year
- We’re sure players will work out all there is to know but we will share that it is a conglomerate boss inspired by Bloons Super Monkey 2
- Core mechanics revolve around Pierce and deliberate attacks that cause the boss to debuff itself

- A dozen unique Feats each with cool Cosmetic and other rewards

- More new Feats will be tied to the Curse system that will be coming in a Frontier update next year

- 3D menus that feature almost every tower in the game
- Every pet in the game now has a walk cycle (or something equating a walk at least!)

So get ready to mosey on in and wrangle up some Frontier Legends, because this is an entirely new way to play Bloons TD, and we hope you enjoy it!

##### New Awesome

- New Paragon - Herald of Everfrost, the Ice Monkey!

- The Herald of Everfrost unleashes a shattering Ice Lance Beam to freeze everything it hits for 10 seconds. As the beam rips through the Bloons, it leaves a wake of icy shards in every direction as it passes, tearing apart Bloons while Frozen Bloons slice each other with razor sharp icicles
- Alternating with this is a thunderous Snowstorm Roar attack that passively freezes everything below a BAD, applying Permafrost, removing all Camo & Regrow, and inflicting a brutal debuff causing targets to take +10 damage from all attacks, with an additional +40 taken from any Cold-type damage attacks
- When all else fails, the Ice Paragon calls upon the Eclipse of Fimbulwinter, giving Boss Bloons brain freeze! Or skull freeze anyway. This ability has very limited use, but freezes EVERYTHING. Break a Boss Skull during its freeze, and the boss w
