Ascended Shadow has decent damage, but is fairly expensive. Its passive Grand Saboteur effect and buffs to Ninja Monkeys makes it a must-have in [[Freeplay]], but should not be bought too soon so it can avoid stealing pops for future Paragons. Setting on Strong is typically preferred, allowing the Ascended Shadow to focus damage on stronger targets, particularly with its extra damage to targets with sticky bombs.<!--nb: sticky always targets strong for ashadow-->

Versus Bosses, the majority of its Boss damage is from its sticky bombs. Its best matchup is against [[Phayze]] due to its damage bonus against Camo Bloons. On the other hand, its worst matchup is [[Blastapopoulos (BTD6)|Blastapopoulos]], which destroys its sticky bombs before they can detonate.
