*Berserker Brew is most often used for expensive emergency defense when added onto a friendly attacking Monkey that can be safely removed. Time at a round when the big burst of damage is necessary, and use up all ammo if possible. Once depleted, the buffed Monkey is often replaced with another Monkey, since its Doomed status prevents long-term use, leaving an open space at the start of next turn.<!--there is exneg business but... another point covers this--> | *Berserker Brew is most often used for expensive emergency defense when added onto a friendly attacking Monkey that can be safely removed.

It alone (after buffing another Monkey, otherwise it's inefficient) is still a reliable long-term Monkey versus Dreadbloon, and, notably, two shots are enough to pop a [[Rock Bloon (BCS)|Rock Bloon]] with up to 10 Armor, where [[Striker Jones (BCS)|Striker Jones]]'s Ammo Stores ensures that each round. | ||
