*Despite its slightly higher damage and ammo-to-reload ratio, this card is outclassed by the [[Monkey Investigator]], which costs 3 [[Gold (BCS)|Gold]] instead of 4 and has a useful On Play effect, [[Mine Supervisor]] costing 4 [[Gold (BCS)|Gold]] but having the same DPT and an ability, and [[Sniper Monkey (BCS)|Sniper Monkey]], who has the same DPT, burst damage, and is 3 Gold instead of 4. Crossbow Monkey's few benefits over sniper is that it can be affected by [[Super Monkey Fan Club (BCS)|Super Monkey Fan Club]], it has better burst buffing potential and it has more flexible targeting.

**Crossbow Monkey does one-shot [[Red Bloon (BCS)|Red Bloon]]s outside of Dark Castle, unlike Monkey Investigator outside of Game Night.

**Crossbow dealing 80 damage allows it to pop [[Blooming Bloon (BCS)|Blooming Bloon]].

**On a deck that relies on Fan Club synergy to defend, Crossbow is still a questionable choice, as its buffing power isn’t higher than most other dart monkeys. Bringing it if combined in a deck with a mid-game win condition to defend for a while before the final kill can be a decent budget strategy.
