Plasma Accelerator is a versatile tower, with strong MOAB-Class damage at its focus point and good group damage along its beam, as well as ~~infinite range~~. It is strongest on maps with straight lines or where the beam can pass multiple parts of the track. As such, it is often better placed near the edge of maps rather than the middle.

Plasma Accelerator is a versatile tower, with strong MOAB-Class damage at its focus point and good group damage along its beam, as well as being able to focus onto targets anywhere at will. It is strongest on maps with straight lines or where the beam can pass multiple parts of the track. As such, it is often better placed near the edge of maps rather than the middle.

However, its damage against [[Super Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Super Ceramic Bloons]] is very poor, making it weak against rounds 81 and above. Past that point, its main use is ~~damaging~~ [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]]. Therefore in [[CHIMPS]] and [[Impoppable (BTD6)|Impoppable]], it should be paired with towers that can handle groups of Super Ceramic Bloons.

However, its damage against [[Super Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Super Ceramic Bloons]] is very poor, making it weak against rounds 81 and above. Past that point, its main use is breaking down [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]]. Therefore in [[CHIMPS]] and [[Impoppable (BTD6)|Impoppable]], it should be paired with towers that can handle groups of Super Ceramic Bloons.

The Plasma Accelerator's best crosspath is almost always 4-2-0, ~~as it usually benefits from Camo detection and faster~~ attack speed ~~much more than from increased~~ pierce, ~~which~~ is ~~already high~~.

The Plasma Accelerator's best crosspath is almost always 4-2-0, giving higher attack speed to its already fairly high pierce, plus innate camo detection. It only ever needs the [[Powerful Darts (BTD6)|Powerful Darts]] crosspath in [[Race (BTD6)|Race]] conditions when better options aren't available and reliable decamo is available; it can still pierce-cap but its pierce bonus is significantly higher than the speed bonus.
