Crossbow Master is one of the worst Tier 5 towers in general gameplay. It is too expensive to be viable in the mid-game, it pierce caps too often versus Ceramics due to layer skipping,{{fn|Crossbow Master's non-crit shots pop them into many Blues.}} relies heavily on straight lines, and constantly misses even with optimal placement. It also becomes barely usable starting on Round 81 due to {{BTD6|Super Ceramic}}s' high health. It falls off heavily on most [[Advanced]] maps and a few [[Intermediate]] maps. | |||
Crossbow Master is one of two T5 options that can reliably solo [[Deflation (BTD6)|Deflation]], requiring {{BTD6 mk|Come On Everybody!}} and {{BTD6 mk|Bonus Monkey!}} to afford a 0-2-5 Crossbow Master. It is preferred over 5-2-0 [[The Blazing Sun]] on maps that require long range, such as [[Tricky Tracks]]. | |||
0-2-5's greater single-target damage and reliability plus better receptiveness to flat pierce buffs (e.g. {{BTD6|Primary Training}}) is superior to 2-0-5, which has more potential DPS against groups but doubles down on its reliance on straight lines. | |||
