Sky Shredder is a highly versatile global range tower that is suitable for all players, having a high skill ceiling but reasonable skill floor. Its decent damage becomes exceptional when proper Ace micro is executed. The missiles break down blimps, which the darts can mostly clean up, albeit with some leaks. It benefits from buffs such as [[Berserker Brew (BTD6)|Berserker Brew]] which take advantage of its many projectiles. | Sky Shredder is a highly versatile global range tower that is suitable for all players, having a high skill ceiling but reasonable skill floor.

Towers and Heroes that can clean up its leaks, such as {{BTD6|Adora}} and {{BTD6|The Bloon Solver}}, are recommended to supplement it. {{BTD6|Rosalia}} is also a strong Hero option due to her solid supplemental damage, knockback, and 10% discount to all nearby Aces. | |||
The 5-0-2 crosspath | Both crosspaths provide their own benefits. The 5-0-2 crosspath, with {{BTD6|Sharper Darts}} and {{BTD6|Centered Path}}, provides improved pierce to its darts and mobility respectively, which is especially useful for Ace micro. The 5-2-0 crosspath gives the ace innate camo detection and improves its missiles, as well as double damage to camo for its attacks which makes it useful against DDTs. | ||
