With {{BTD6 mk|Strike Down the False}}, the Sun Avatar gains the capability to pop [[Purple Bloon (BTD6)|Purple Bloon]]s, making its [[damage type]] effectively similar to {{BTD6 dt|Normal}} but retaining specific interactions with the {{BTD6 dt|Plasma}} type including [[Corvus (BTD6)|Corvus]]'s Haunted debuff and [[Blastapopoulos (BTD6)|Blastapopoulos]]'s heat buildup.<!--no, it's NOT normal type, because of blasta, and technically it's just "gains purple popping"--> | |||

Sun Avatar triples its projectile count compared to Plasma Blasts and greatly increases pierce, making it much stronger at base and much better with external buffs and bloon debuffs. It can function well enough in mid-game as a saveup tower with its high pierce knockback letting it help against late game ceramics, or as a heavily buffed late game damage tower. As the most expensive T3, Sun Avatar should be discounted by {{BTD6|Monkey Commerce}}, preferably with 2 or 3 stacks. | Sun Avatar triples its projectile count compared to Plasma Blasts and greatly increases pierce, making it much stronger at base and much better with external buffs and bloon debuffs.

In mid-game, it is generally better to use 3-0-1, as the knockback helps support other towers and gives more lasting utility.

Pair with a 4-2-0 {{BTD6|Stronger Stimulant}} and, if using {{BTD6|Geraldo}}, Jar of Pickles. Ultravision can be skipped in favor of other camo detection support, or used for the +1 Camo damage and slight range boost (plus ignoring obstacles with [[X-ray Ultra]] if [[Monkey Knowledge (BTD6)|Monkey Knowledge]] is available). | ||
For late game damage, or if a Knockback Super Monkey is already present, 3-2-0 is better for the extra pierce. More expensive support options such as {{BTD6|Permanent Brew}} alongside debuff stacking like {{BTD6|Glue Storm}} and {{BTD6|Embrittlement}} let it deal great late game damage, particularly with {{BTD6|Adora}}'s Blood Sacrifice buff. | For late game damage, or if a Knockback Super Monkey is already present, 3-2-0 is better for the extra pierce and coverage.

Once Sun Avatar passes below 0.01 attack cooldown, the frequency of projectiles stops increasing and instead they start gaining damage, limiting its debuff synergy. Heavily buffed Bloonjitsus can also reach this attack speed cap, but have a smaller footprint and more projectiles per attack, making them the better Freeplay damage tower. | ||
