Armor Piercing Darts is a decent T4 for carrying the mid-game when paired with [[Berserker Brew (BTD6)|Berserker Brew]], ~~helping save up for more effective T5's later on. Its relatively~~ high MOAB damage, ~~improved base pierce,~~ and ~~multiple projectiles improve its reliability at damaging bloons quickly~~. ~~However~~, ~~it still has low base damage~~ to ~~non-blimps despite its moderate attack speed~~.

Armor Piercing Darts is a decent T4 for carrying the mid-game when paired with [[Berserker Brew (BTD6)|Berserker Brew]], with its multiple projectiles and high MOAB damage. However, it struggles against large groups of Bloons and falls off after round 62. Armor Piercing Darts is decent for [[Sub Commander (BTD6)|Sub Commander]] armies, though 0-3-2 [[Ballistic Missile (BTD6)|Ballistic Missile]] or 2-0-3 [[Triple Guns (BTD6)|Triple Guns]] are more cost efficient, especially when planning to upgrade the latter to T4s.

~~The best crosspath for Armor Piercing Darts~~ is ~~Advanced Intel, which allows targeting of bloons further around~~ the ~~map and greater synergy with external buffs. However~~, this ~~crosspath disrupts~~ strategies that rely on stalling ~~bloons~~ or dealing precise damage to groups of ~~bloons~~. 0-1-4 and 0-2-4's granting of increased pierce ~~within local range~~ and ability to affect visible DDTs are not as significant. Armor Piercing Darts is a fair candidate for [[Sub Commander (BTD6)|Sub Commander]] armies on maps that use [[Advanced Intel (BTD6)|Advanced Intel]] for long-ranged coverage, though the 0-3-2 [[Ballistic Missile (BTD6)|Ballistic Missile]] is usually preferred for better localized damage.

2-0-4 is largely the better crosspath as it can grant infinite range, but this may disrupt strategies that rely on stalling or dealing precise damage to groups of Bloons. 0-1-4 and 0-2-4's granting of increased pierce and ability to affect visible DDTs are helpful but not as significant.

*It is based on real-life [[wp:armour-piercing ammunition|armor-piercing ammunition]]. However, Armor Piercing Darts does not pop {{BTD6|Lead Bloon}}s, likely due to balance reasons.
