Lord of the Abyss is a relatively weak cleanup T5 on its own but stands out for its strong synergy with towers that depend largely on pierce. In particular, the further pierce bonus is significant on all Spike Factories, benefiting much for [[Carpet of Spikes (BTD6)|Carpet of Spikes]] and [[Perma-Spike (BTD6)|Perma-Spike]], and very effective for [[Spike Storm (BTD6)|Spike Storm]] spam in Boss Events. The ability to place water towers on land is beneficial for extra water space, such as building and powering up water-based Paragons (especially [[Nautic Siege Core]]), as well as just generally adding a water-based support such as [[Energizer (BTD6)|Energizer]], though this specific benefit is not so practical in standard CHIMPS games.

The 5-0-2 is generally preferred, even without considering innate camo detection from [[Echosense Precision]], due to the huge range bonuses that [[Echosense Network]]s provide, allowing it to reach almost all of the map. In particular, placing on the middle of the water allows to cover all lanes of [[Quad]]. 5-2-0 is only needed for more pierce on the trident attack or the tentacles, but tentacles have huge pierce already.
