==Strategy==

Abyssal Warrior ~~is quite flexible~~ for ~~supplemental damage and support. Its support output is great for slowing down early MOABs~~ and ~~BFBs, plus a much more effective percentage pierce bonus, while its damage output is quite reliable. Its tentacles can~~ one-~~shot~~ Ceramics ~~that come out of MOABs~~, while its tridents do ~~decent~~ all-around ~~bloon~~ damage ~~and bloon slowdown~~. Its percentage pierce bonus pairs very well with [[Spike Factory (BTD6)|Spike Factory]], especially [[Perma-Spike (BTD6)|Perma-Spike]] which already has high pierce. ~~It remains very strong on~~ [[Race (BTD6)|Race]] conditions with its high damage and pierce ~~from tentacles~~, especially if all tentacles can be used.

Abyssal Warrior stands out for assisting Round 40 due to its dual MOAB slow and tentacle one-shots on Ceramics, while continuing to be relevant later on with its lower-tier blimp slowdown and substantial percentage pierce buffs. Its tridents and tentacles do great all-around damage even without the Ceramic one-shot. Its percentage pierce bonus pairs very well with [[Spike Factory (BTD6)|Spike Factory]], especially [[Perma-Spike (BTD6)|Perma-Spike]] which already has high pierce. In [[Race (BTD6)|Race]] conditions, it remains strong with its high damage and pierce, especially if all tentacles can be used.

Like [[Abyss Dweller]], crosspathing is situational~~, with~~ 4-1-0 preferred ~~if camo detection isn't a concern~~, though 4-0-1 is ~~better against spaced Bloons or~~ if ~~needing camo detection~~. 4-1-0 is preferred in Race conditions.

Like [[Abyss Dweller]], crosspathing is situational. 4-0-2 is preferred in general gameplay, making it buff more towers in range and improve reach of its tentacles, though 4-0-1 is enough if not revolving around a Mermonkey strategy. Additionally, its higher trident damage makes homing tridents worth it. 4-1-0 is preferred in Race conditions. 4-2-0's freeze can double-dip slowdown against Ceramics and below, but can harm strategies that have a Frozen weakness.
