Crossbow Master (BTD6): Difference between revisions

Sharpshooter has 4 pierce, that would make the increase to 8 pierce when upgrading to crossbow master a increase of +4 and not +5
someone said crossbow master is the worst tier 5 so i changed it, it is not the worst there are arguably some worse ones like plasma monkey fanclub as it requires more monkeys to help and it cant pop leads without ability, can't pop purples with abilities

Crossbow Master is one of the worst Tier 5 towers in general gameplay. It is too expensive to be viable in the mid-game, it pierce caps too often versus Ceramics due to layer skipping,{{fn|Crossbow Master's non-crit shots pop them into many Blues.}} relies heavily on straight lines, and constantly misses even with optimal placement. It also becomes barely usable starting on Round 81 due to {{BTD6|Super Ceramic}}s' high health. It falls off heavily on most [[Advanced]] maps and a few [[Intermediate]] maps.

Crossbow Master is one of two T5 options that can reliably solo [[Deflation (BTD6)|Deflation]], requiring {{BTD6 mk|Come On Everybody!}} and {{BTD6 mk|Bonus Monkey!}} to afford a 0-2-5 Crossbow Master. It is preferred over 5-2-0 [[The Blazing Sun]] on maps that require long range, such as [[Tricky Tracks]].
