Avenger is a knockback-focused tower with low pierce, short range, and medium downtime between knockback attacks, and is generally quite weak. Since its knockback is a speed multiplier, it lacks much synergy with other slowdown effects, but it does want a Berserker Brew and Primary Training for better pierce and enjoys speed buffs in general.
With 2-0-4 in late game, Avenger can be placed some distance away from the track. This prevents it from targeting Ceramic Bloons, but the larger size of blimps lets it attack them while benefiting from a much larger Quickdraw boost, since that depends not on the nearest targetable point but the center of the nearest bloon while here there are no bloons even in range. Since its knockback is just as strong against ZOMGs as against MOABs, it should focus on stalling the strongest bloons to make the most of its low pierce. Setting on Strong usually accomplishes that.
With max Wanderer stacks, some Nomad bonus, and Quickdraw near the edge of range, as well as Berserker Brew and Jungle Drums, the tower can reach shotgun burst cooldown of 0.75 seconds, which lets its knockback match MOAB Glue's slowdown. Managing anything better generally requires low enough blimp density for Standoff to activate. While this is much more expensive, restrictive on placement, and low pierce than most slowdown options, it also provides damage. However, its damage is mediocre against dense rounds where its knockback is most valuable and is too low to function well as a mid-game carry, even with Alch buffs, thanks to low range. Since each pistol and shotgun shot uses its own Acidic Mixture Dip charge, the tower also struggles to keep AMD stacks even with multiple AMDs, making it useless against DDTs.
Its life loss reduction effect is generally hard to use, especially as Ceramic Bloons become more more prevalent in mid-game. It can be used as a last resort for leaks in the mid-game, but never for making income.
2-0-4 is the preferred crosspath, as it directly increases knockback uptime to improve its support role, and is much more effective at boosting its poor single target damage with a higher max damage at long range as well. 0-2-4 gets more damage at close range via crits and has natural camo detection, but camo detection can actually hurt Avenger late game due to a lack of DDT damage.

Attack speed scaling with Bloons in radius should work correctly (bug fix)
Cash bonus on Bloon leak should no longer stack per Desperado- Desperado no longer gains Camo Prioritization when granted Camo detection from external sources (bug fix)
- 1-0-4, 2-0-4
- Shotgun attack: Pierce is no longer capped at 1 with top crosspath ― 1 → 3 (bug fix)
“
At higher tiers Pistol damage has increased for better long-range Single Target performance.

”
- Pistol: Damage increased ― 12 → 18
- Pistol: Bonus damage to Ceramic Bloons increased ― +12 → +18 (undocumented)
- Shotgun: Attack cooldown increased ― 1.56s → 1.97s (attack speed reduced by 20.81%)
“
Avenger’s price is going down as it did too little damage for that price range.

”
- Upgrade cost reduced ― $9,500 → $8,500
- Pistol now reloads at the end of the round
“
Bottom path desperado on the other hand suffers on trickier maps due to its low range design so we are bumping up the knockback at all tiers and reducing Avenger’s cost.

”
- Upgrade cost reduced ― $8,500 → $6,500
- Shotgun: Knockback multiplier for MOAB-Class Bloons increased ― -0.1× → -1×
- Shotgun: Knockback multiplier for Lead and Ceramic Bloons increased ― -1× → -2×
- Shotgun: Knockback multiplier for Rainbow and below Bloons increased ― -1× → -2×
“
Bottom path’s Avenger was severely underappreciated when it was last buffed, with that buff bringing in so much attention it is time to step back that power. At the same time bottom path Desperado’s low shotgun range is being scaled up to increase their useful placement, and as a fittingness and fun bonus Nomads[sic] will also be allowed to group up in range of other Nomads[sic] with no penalty.

- Upgrade cost increased ― $6,500 → $9,500
- Shotgun attack: Range increased ― 28 → 36
- Note: Also increases the range required to lose Wanderer stacks
- Wanderer buff: Wanderer Desperados in range no longer reduce Wanderer stacks from each other
- Shotgun attack: Knockback multiplier for MOAB-Class Bloons reduced ― -1× → -0.5×
