Overview[]
As customary of the Bloons Tower Defense series, you (the player) control place-able "towers," each with different functions that all contribute to defending the exit from Bloons. Most of these towers take the form of monkeys, with the rest either being machines, inanimate objects, or non-monkey beings.
In BTD7: The Solar Sanctum, there are two types of towers:
Ranged[]
Ranged towers are able to be placed anywhere on the map, save for the track, certain terrain types, and certain obstacles. Their function is similar to that in NK's BTD6: certain objects block their line-of-sight (LOS), which can be circumvented through placing them high enough, removing said obstacles in certain tracks, or having their projectiles gain the buff of phasing through LOS blockers.
Melee[]
Melee towers, on the other hand, are only able to be placed on the track. Terrain types still come into play, however. Most melee towers have a much shorter range than their ranged brethren, but they compensate for this short-coming by having a generally better cost-damage relationship and higher HP.
New Mechanics[]
Tier 6 Upgrades[]
Introduced in this game are Tier 6 upgrades for every tower. Unlike most fan conceptions in this wiki, however, 99% of the Tier 6 upgrades are actually only at the same power level as the Tier 5 upgrades in NK's BTD6. In fact, a huge majority of them are actually their Tier 5 upgrades from there, only being shifted later in order to accommodate for another "stepping stone" upgrade. BTD7:TSS is a lot more mid-game oriented and most of Story Mode is more reliant on the ability to make do of a given cash reserve for a variety of quickly-progressive waves, each with different ways they could brutalize you, rather than farming as much money as possible to defeat glorified damage sponges (this is also the same reason why out of the 100+ bloons introduced in BTD7:TSS, only one of them releases Z.O.M.G.s., while other Z.O.M.G. parents like B.L.I.T.Z. and S.U.P.E.R.B. have their HP and children nerfed). Hence, this approach for Tier 6 upgrades allows for a more gradual increase in power less reliant on huge save-ups.
HP System[]
BTD7:TSS carries over the HP system from Meta07's BTD6, albeit fleshed out and with overall higher health pools for every tower. Furthermore, towers increase in HP depending on the highest tier of upgrade purchased:
| Highest Tier | Health Increase | Overall Increased Health |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | 5% | 5% |
| Tier 2 | 5% | 10% |
| Tier 3 | 15% | 25% |
| Tier 4 | 25% | 50% |
| Tier 5 | 50% | 100% |
| Tier 6 | 125% | 200% |
It's important to note that crosspaths do NOT increase a tower's HP for as long as they do not surpass the tier of the other upgrades. Only buying more tiers contribute to the health pool.
For heroes, a different formula is followed:
| Level Range | Health Increase (per level) | Total Health Increase (at the end of range) |
|---|---|---|
| 1-3 | 5% | 10% |
| 4-10 | 10% | 80% |
| 11-15 | 20% | 180% |
| 16-20 | 40% | 380% |
Obviously, if a tower runs out of HP, they die. There will be 0% cost refund for a tower's death, although said refund is increased to 25% for Tier 6 towers. Heroes also have HP as well, however, when they run out of HP, they are only briefly stunned for 10 seconds. Otherwise, they're effectively immortal, and can only be removed through selling.
Towers can be thrown off the track through means such as MEMOIR's gears, in which they instantly die, although heroes instantly teleport back onto the spot they were placed at, only getting stunned.
Certain upgrades increase HP by arithmetic increments, which will be specified for each upgrade this applies to. Said arithmetic increase happens after the percentage increase (for example, a Tier 1 upgrade that increases HP by a fixed number of 20 will increase the base HP by 5% first, before applying the increase of 20). Every percentage increase happens before arithmetic increases specific to certain upgrades, even those that belong to lower upgrades (which can be expressed in this formula: BaseHP(Highest Tier HP Increase) + Upgrade-Specific HP Increase
Types of Towers[]
Towers in bold mean that the tower is new to TSS, and isn't already based on an official tower or a BTD5 special agent. Towers in Italics belong to Meta07, whose conceptions are said to be public. TSS versions of them coming soon. Underlined towers mean that a revamped upgrade or upgrade path is envisioned for them (aside from simple additions of T3-T6 upgrades), but they have appeared in NK's BTD6.
Normal Towers[]
