Armor Piercing Darts is a decent T4 for carrying the mid-game when paired with [[Berserker Brew (BTD6)|Berserker Brew]]~~. 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~~, but does alleviate the previous stated issues~~.

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.
