Paragon Degree Calculator
Estimate your potential Paragon Degree based on key contributing factors. This tool helps strategize for achieving higher Paragon levels in games featuring such mechanics.
Understanding Paragon Degrees
In many progression-based games, a “Paragon Degree” or “Paragon Level” represents an advanced tier of power for a specific character, unit, or item. Achieving higher Paragon Degrees typically requires significant investment and strategic planning. This calculator provides an estimation based on common influencing factors.
Key Factors Influencing Paragon Degrees:
- Core Power Sources: The number of foundational high-tier elements. For instance, in some tower defense games, this might be the count of Tier 5 towers of a specific type contributing to a Paragon. More core sources often provide a substantial base power.
- Accumulated Experience/Power: This refers to the total effectiveness demonstrated by the contributing elements. It could be damage dealt, objectives completed, or a direct “pop count.” This factor usually has a cap on its contribution to the Paragon Degree.
- Invested Resources: The amount of in-game currency or resources spent on upgrades and sacrifices (excluding the core power sources themselves) that contribute to the Paragon’s strength. Higher investment generally yields better results, often up to a certain threshold.
- Synergistic Elements: The quantity of other, often lower-tier, units or items that are sacrificed or contribute synergistically to the Paragon. The sheer number can play a role in boosting the final degree.
- External Buffs/Totems: Some games include special items or temporary buffs (not included in this basic calculator) that can further increase the attainable degree.
Using the Paragon Degree Calculator:
- Core Power Sources: Select or enter the number of primary high-level entities that form the basis of your Paragon. This is often a small, fixed number (e.g., 1 to 3).
- Accumulated Experience/Power: Input the total “power” accumulated by all contributing elements. This could be total damage, pops, experience points, etc., depending on your game’s mechanics.
- Invested Resources: Enter the total value of in-game currency spent on sacrifices or non-core upgrades that contribute to the Paragon.
- Synergistic Elements: Input the count of other items, units, or upgrades sacrificed or synergizing with the Paragon.
- Calculate: Click the “Calculate Degree” button to see an estimated Paragon Degree.
The calculation provides an approximate degree, generally on a scale of 1 to 100. The formula used is a simplified model:
Degree = Base(Core Sources) + Power(Experience) + Power(Resources) + Power(Synergy)
Each component contributes a certain amount of “power” towards the degree, often with diminishing returns or caps specific to the game. This calculator uses a generic model that reflects these common patterns.For precise calculations for a specific game (like Bloons TD 6, Diablo, etc.), always refer to game-specific guides and wikis, as their formulas can be highly detailed and include unique mechanics not covered here.
