Apex Plasma Master: Difference between revisions

The Apex Plasma Master [[attack]]s by rapidly firing volleys of three plasma juggernaut balls at a time, which produce 6 smaller juggernaut balls two times once the larger juggernauts lose enough pierce or expire, for up to twelve projectiles per ball or 36 projectiles per volley of three. All of its juggernauts are capable of rehitting bloons after bouncing off obstacles. Despite being made of "plasma", the juggernaut balls deal [[damage type|normal-type damage]], and they deal increased damage to [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic Bloon]]s and [[Boss Bloon]]s. With {{BTD6 mk|Force vs Force}}, both the large and mini juggernaut balls deal extra damage to [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s as well, and with {{BTD6 mk|4 and 4}}, every fourth shot makes the Apex Plasma Master shoots four projectiles at a time instead of three.

<!--===Main attack===-->

Apex Plasma Master has an [[attack]] that fires a volley of three light-pink plasma juggernauts, separated by a small distance to the left and right. With {{BTD6 mk|4 and 4}}, every fourth shot fires four projectiles at a time instead of three, with the same total distance among the ejected projectiles. It has 85 range, a little more than [[Crossbow Master (BTD6)|Crossbow Master]], but is not affected by {{BTD6 mk|Crossbow Reach}}.

All of its projectiles deal [[damage type|normal-type damage]] and do increased damage to [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic Bloon]]s and [[Boss Bloon]]s, but more Ceramic damage from the smaller juggernauts. With {{BTD6 mk|Force vs Force}}, both the large and mini juggernaut balls deal extra damage to [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s. Both projectiles move at 450 units per second (a little faster than [[Crossbow (BTD6)|Crossbow]]'s projectile), and the radius for the large and mini juggernauts are 9 and 7, respectively.

{{BTD6 last updated|53.2|section=y}}

The Apex Plasma Master stands out as the Paragon with the cheapest cumulative cost, but its DPS hugely relies on bounces rehitting targets. Its main use cases are [[Boss Bloon Event]]s on maps with walls (e.g. [[Sulfur Springs]], [[Encrypted]], [[Dark Path]]) or plenty of coverage for non-central track (e.g. [[Winter Park]]), and for [[Boss Rush]]. Its best Boss matchup is [[Blastapopoulos (BTD6)|Blastapopoulos]], whose pyroclastic rocks can actually result in its projectiles bouncing much more. It has favorable matchups against {{BTD6|Dreadbloon}} due to having a very high Ceramic damage bonus, and {{BTD6|Vortex}} by using the Storm Shield to bounce its projectiles. Its worst Boss matchup is [[Lych (BTD6)|Lych]], as it struggles greatly against Resurrected MOAB-Class Bloons.

In [[Freeplay]], the Apex Plasma Master is exceedingly map-dependent, dealing less damage than a max buffed [[Plasma Monkey Fan Club (BTD6)|PMFC]] transformed [[Super Monkey Fan Club (BTD6)|SMFC]] on [[Logs]], while being excellent in [[Cornfield]] [[No Harvest]] Freeplay, outdamaging several other Paragons. Unlike most Paragons, it pairs well with Bloon debuffs and can greatly improve its damage depending on degree, debuffs, and placement.

The bonus T5 from {{BTD6 mk|Master Double Cross}} is enough to obtain a Degree 11 without pops or additional sacrifices, which is insignificant alone. Placing 25 0-2-2 Darts fulfills exactly 100 tiers for the lowest cost. If space and max Monkeys are an issue, the cheapest max crosspaths at higher tiers can be used instead: 0-3-2 Darts for T3 sacrifices, and 4-2-0 for T4 sacrifices. For the most cash sacrifices without the cash slider, the 2-4-0 Dart is the most expensive crosspath. Given enough time to set up cash sacrifices, place as many 2-4-0 Darts as possible, preferably at least 17 to fulfill at least 100 tiers.
