The New BEST Bossing Paragon In BTD6...
Video summary
Press to jump
- 0:21Military-only restrictions narrow the farming options, so he starts with Merchantmen.
- 1:40Ezili's Sacrificial Totem provides controlled life loss to activate tower buffs.
- 17:35The Sniper Paragon becomes central because it can damage Vortex through its shield.
- 20:15A Buccaneer Paragon test exposes the cost of being unable to penetrate that shield.
- 33:15He assembles a degree 73 Sniper Paragon for the final boss tier.
- 37:17The final result and leaderboard placement arrive.
Second place, secured. Mehalic POPs finishes his ranked Elite Vortex run just under four minutes, after turning a military-only tower restriction into what he calls "sniper mania."
The useful trick in "The New BEST Bossing Paragon In BTD6..." is shield penetration. The Sniper Paragon can keep damaging Vortex through its protective shield; a test with the Buccaneer Paragon shows why that matters. Boat firepower is less helpful when the shield stops it reaching the boss.
Getting there takes an economy built from boats, helicopters and snipers, plus some deliberately counterintuitive play. Mehalic POPs chooses Ezili partly for her Sacrificial Totem, using lost lives to trigger attack-speed boosts. Later, carefully managed leaks become another tool for keeping the Sniper Paragon firing quickly. This is not simply a case of buying the biggest tower and watching.
The upload has reached roughly 139,000 views, making it the most-watched of his two new videos. "Admiral Brickell Can Do WHAT Now?! (Bloons TD 6)" supplies the other half of the week, exploring how update changes reshape the water-based hero's possibilities. In the boss video's comments, viewers discuss farming trade-offs and their own Elite attempts, while one recurring visitor checks for discount villages.
Across the channel, daily views are running at more than twice their usual level, and the week brought about 1,000 additional subscribers. UrbanLoon is also enjoying elevated viewing among nearby strategy-gaming channels. For Mehalic POPs, the older "Can I BREAK a 1,000 Person Tie?! (Bloons TD 6)" remains a substantial draw alongside the new Vortex run, keeping another precision boss challenge in circulation.
