Armor Piercing Darts is a decent T4 for carrying the mid-game when paired with [[Berserker Brew (BTD6)|Berserker Brew]] ~~up to round 60~~.~~~~ Its relatively high MOAB damage, improved base pierce, and multiple projectiles improve its reliability at damaging bloons quickly. However, it still struggles against large groups of bloons, and falls off as a midgame carry 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 them to APDs for the latter.

The best crosspath for Armor Piercing Darts is [[Advanced Intel (BTD6)|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 and ability to affect visible DDTs are not as significant.
