glue strike combo is really good apparantly, and alicorn and planterror reminded me that 502 engi is now preferred most of the time, but 520 still has its purpose as a single-target thing more than a generalist (as 502 now does)

Sentry Champion also benefits from damage buffs and blimp debuffs. [[Glue Strike (BTD6)|Glue Strike]], in particular the [[Glue Soak (BTD6)|Glue Soak]] crosspath to penetrate blimps, is one of its best pairings. [[Stormwrath Archon]] works well with Sentry Champion by letting sentries attract towards lightning rods, which help limit pierce wastage of the many sentry projectiles. Despite a moderate tier 5 cost, it's one of the cheaper tier 5s when accounting for previous tiers, allowing more cash to be spent on the necessary buffs and debuffs.

Crosspaths are important to maximize its buffability. Where more single-target damage is required, use the [[Deconstruction (BTD6)|Deconstruction]], but it faces anti-synergy with [[Larger Service Area (BTD6)|Larger Service Area]]'s more erratic sentry placements. However, in general case scenarios, [[Oversize Nails (BTD6)|Oversize Nails]] is preferred in the presence of buffs that take advantage of high pierce, letting the sentries handle dense rounds more efficiently without the anti-synergy of the range upgrade. [[Pin (BTD6)|Pin]] doesn't affect Super Ceramics, so 5-0-1 is usually enough unless transitioning from [[Sentry Expert (BTD6)|Sentry Expert]].
