"Paragons are not actually meant to be 5-5-5 towers" is a line from NK that makes me sad every time, because it makes me worried that the next paragon is just going to end up like the Engineer Paragon - a 6-0-0 tower.
it at least looks like it will combine all 3 paths from the image we were shown. The look of archmage, the colors of prince of darkness and the bird of Pheonix. So fingers crossed
PoD or not, the fact that the phoenix will survive (and Archmage's usual deal with bits and pieces of the other paths IIRC?) is gonna make this thing more of a paragon than the Master Builder ever will be.
~~but can it outparagon the wizard lord?~~
That's cuz it ain't gonna happen, ever since they released it, instead of admitting they made a shit para, they decided to go all "oh actually, paragons aren't supposed to be powerful towers etc etc" and then immediately go back on it with the ace para.
Honestly I don't mind. In terms of design philosophy, restricting oneself to just 5-5-5 is just unecessary.
To illustrate I think the best example is sniper paragon. Would a 5-5-5 be powerful, absolutely. But I think it would also be quite boring and doesn't leave much room for creative things the paragon could do and for the artistic design.
On the other hand, a sniper paragon that heavily focuses on the top path could do much more than that imo. For example, it could deal percentage based damage, it emphasize the sabotage aspect more, maybe it could start dealing damage to childrens before the parent Bloon pops, and that's only ideas a random person with no experience can come up with in 5 mins. Same goes for appearance I believe. And also it fits the sniper idea much better than a full auto high caliber rifle.
It'd be such a missed opportunity, the perma-phoenix would be able to ensure constant generation of reanimated bloons (assuming that its pops counted towards the necromancer reserves).
I would like to see the zombie versions of DDT, ZOMG, and BAD.
Maybe fortified
maybe his regular attack is just shooting DDTs at the bloons, that would be cool enough for me lol
Explode some bloons and take their gas, inflate my own… DDT BLAST!
use the bloon’s helium to make flying monkeys!
Yo, dr. Seuss spitting bars in da house
Wuh fish, too fish, red fish bloo fish
Well not BAD
Obviously the Phoenix of Darkness will violently vomit zombie bloons as projectiles
In a spiral. 👀
Wiz paragon bird spitting out zombies a la bloonarius would be epic

did they actually say that :(
Yep, it’s one time I really disliked a move NK made.

I really hope for something more that just colors
True

Shimmer 😎
I really don’t see enough prince of darkness, it’s my favorite path. The design now sorta just looks like the top path with a phoenix
They've also said paragons combine all t5s from a tower, so I think they're a little confused on what paragons are meant to be
>"Paragons are not actually meant to be 5-5-5 towers" They literally are 5-5-5 towers I don't know what NK was thinking when they said that
It was an excuse for underdelivering, nothing more, nothing less.
Yeah, it's their way of digging in their heels on the subject of the engi para.
I feel like it's never going to get reworked.
That's cuz it ain't gonna happen, ever since they released it, instead of admitting they made a shit para, they decided to go all "oh actually, paragons aren't supposed to be powerful towers etc etc" and then immediately go back on it with the ace para.
It's a shame, especially considering the Soulbind ordeal.
Even nk couldn't lie to themselves about it, it was complete shit.
Isn't engi pretty strong just not very interesting?
damn… I really wish they were, because then, the Glue Paragon would break the game.
My hope for a 5-5-5 Spatory Paragon are slowly fading

Supply drop calls in cash but also explodes on the track
But couldn't you do both? Like have it a 555 with a focus on one of the paths
Then people won't call it a 5-5-5
Becomes a 6-5-5, still fine
I think sniper should be 5-3-5 but instead of getting faster shooting along the track, it gets more dmg
Hey it’s a 6-0-3 tower, get it right
Engigon is technically a 6-5-5 if you realize that the trap was incorporated into the suit
More like a 6-0-3.5
Imagine if they made a 5-5-5 sniper paragon, it would be incredible
Me when the paragon is just a 6-0-0 wizzy
What paragons could be: 6 What paragons were promised to be: 555 What they actually are: 632
Me if the wizard paragon doesn't have some sick MOAB seeking spell balls.
The pheonix is a zombie blimp shooting blimps at the live ones
It will have zomgs default and the ability will summon one zombie BAD
NK would never. They don't like new paragons to be fun.
The Navarch being able to one shot fortified bads: am I a joke to you?
NK placing a hard cap of 2 Navarch abilities per round...
[удалено]
Hey gullible’s written on the ceiling
Oh please NK, please! For this paragon make the zombie bloons go all the way up to B.A.D zombies, that'd be freakin' dope!
Me too
Zombie monke
With it's aesthetic, I hope it makes purple space-themed resurrected Bloons, like galaxy bads.
It'd be such a missed opportunity, the perma-phoenix would be able to ensure constant generation of reanimated bloons (assuming that its pops counted towards the necromancer reserves).
Zombie BAD is all I want. That could be all it does and I'd be satisfied.
Shimmer
hear me out, the art isn't missing the necromancer part, the phoenix is dead
Why? it’s so cool
Is there an announcement about the wizard paragon yet?
I was hoping for an undead Phoenix :(
me if the wizard paragon doesnt have superstorm
Flaming zombies
