  • In decks that run a lot of Bloontonium generation, this is a cheap removal. It's particularly effective against weak Bloons with special gimmicks, such as Steady Growth Bloons, Blooming Bloons, weaker Double Attack Bloons, Triple Threat Bloons, and Buddy Bloons. It can also finish off stronger Bloons after chipping them with other damage sources like Long Range Rang.
  • Overload is best added to a deck versus mirror aggro to finish off a powerful Bloon, or gain leverage against life loss from the opponent.
  • Overload costs the same as Quincy's Arrow Shot but does more than 3x damage to a weakened Bloon. Aim to use it on Bloons with about 80–100 Health for the most value.
  • Quincy synergizes very well with Overload in decks for anti-Aggro purposes.
