BTD5 Tower Upgrades

Uncategorized 8 Minutes

There are 18 towers in BTD5. Some have to be unlocked through player progression, which will only come if you are logged into your account. Each tower has 8 possible upgrades, 4 in each track (the left and the right track). The first 2 upgrades on each side can be accessed no matter what. After that, you have to choose only one side to get the 3rd and 4th upgrades on. Only one of the 4th upgrades is an ability; all towers (except the banana farm) have an ability. Abilities appear as buttons at the bottom left that are used when clicked, and have a cooldown, or a timer that tells you when the ability can be used again.
