The Apex Plasma Master stands out as the Paragon with the cheapest cumulative cost, but its DPS hugely relies on bounces rehitting targets. Its main use cases are [[Boss Bloon Event]]s on maps with walls (e.g. [[Sulfur Springs]], [[Encrypted]], [[Dark Path]]) or plenty of coverage for non-central track (e.g. [[Winter Park]]), and for [[Boss Rush]]. Its best Boss matchup is [[Blastapopoulos (BTD6)|Blastapopoulos]], whose pyroclastic rocks can actually result in its projectiles bouncing much more. It has favorable matchups against {{BTD6|Dreadbloon}} due to having a very high Ceramic damage bonus, and {{BTD6|Vortex}} by using the Storm Shield to bounce its projectiles. Its worst Boss matchup is [[Lych (BTD6)|Lych]], as it struggles greatly against Resurrected MOAB-Class Bloons. | The Apex Plasma Master stands out as the Paragon with the cheapest cumulative cost, but its DPS hugely relies on bounces rehitting targets.

In [[Freeplay]], the Apex Plasma Master is exceedingly map-dependent, dealing less damage than a max buffed [[Plasma Monkey Fan Club (BTD6)|PMFC]] transformed [[Super Monkey Fan Club (BTD6)|SMFC]] on [[Logs]], while being excellent in [[Cornfield]] [[No Harvest]] Freeplay, outdamaging several other Paragons. Unlike most Paragons, it pairs well with Bloon debuffs and can greatly its damage depending on degree, debuffs, and placement. | In [[Freeplay]], the Apex Plasma Master is exceedingly map-dependent, dealing less damage than a max buffed [[Plasma Monkey Fan Club (BTD6)|PMFC]] transformed [[Super Monkey Fan Club (BTD6)|SMFC]] on [[Logs]], while being excellent in [[Cornfield]] [[No Harvest]] Freeplay, outdamaging several other Paragons.

The bonus T5 from {{BTD6 mk|Master Double Cross}} is enough to obtain a Degree 22 without pops or additional sacrifices. Placing 25 0-2-2 Darts fulfills exactly 100 tiers for the lowest cost. If space and max Monkeys are an issue, the cheapest max crosspaths at higher tiers can be used instead: 0-3-2 Darts for T3 sacrifices, and 4-2-0 for T4 sacrifices. For the most cash sacrifices without the cash slider, the 2-4-0 Dart is the most expensive crosspath. Given enough time to set up cash sacrifices, place as many 2-4-0 Darts as possible, preferably at least 17 to fulfill at least 100 tiers. | The bonus T5 from {{BTD6 mk|Master Double Cross}} is enough to obtain a Degree 22 without pops or additional sacrifices.
