MOAB Mauler is useful for Round 40 ~~for~~ cheap assistance against the MOAB,~~~~ in addition to ~~for~~ breaking down blimps in the mid-game, especially grouped blimps on rounds such as 75. However, ~~after~~ a ~~multitude of nerfs that eliminated its bonus {{~~BTD6|~~Ceramic Bloon}} damage~~ and ~~reduced its blimp damage~~, ~~it is not recommended to spam~~ MOAB Maulers ~~for~~ the ~~late~~-~~game.~~ Usually, a 0-3-0 MOAB Mauler is enough, but extra range can be obtained with 0-3-1 if needed. The 1-3-0 or 2-3-0 crosspath can be used for MOAB Mauler to dent clumped blimps in late-game rounds, ~~but by that point,~~ MOAB ~~Mauler no longer serves~~ significant ~~purpose regardless of the crosspath~~.

MOAB Mauler cannot be expected to solo blimps, but is useful for Round 40 as cheap assistance against the first MOAB that spawns, in addition to breaking down blimps in the mid-game, especially grouped blimps on rounds such as 75. However, its fairly low blimp damage for its cost makes late-game MOAB Mauler spam not very strong unless specifically using 0-3-2 crosspath as a spammable option with [[Striker Jones (BTD6)|Striker Jones]] and [[Primary Expertise (BTD6)|Primary Expertise]].

In [[Boss Rush]], MOAB Maulers can be used as a starting option and early Boss damage if given enough starting cash, with the advantage of having more range than most options while adding minimal heat to [[Blastapopoulos (BTD6)|Blastapopoulos]] due to counting as one hit instead of many. It works best against Blastapopoulos but can also work against [[Lych (BTD6)|Lych]].

Usually, a 0-3-0 MOAB Mauler is enough, but extra range can be obtained with 0-3-1 if needed. The 1-3-0 or 2-3-0 crosspath can be used for MOAB Mauler to dent clumped blimps in late-game rounds. 0-3-2 is preferred when going for Mauler spam, since the bonus MOAB damage is significant and can be much improved with flat pierce buffs like [[Primary Training (BTD6)|Primary Training]].
