Strategy articles should focus primarily on how to use the subject in general (or how not to use the subject in general). Every facet of the subject should at least be given some usage tips on a strategy article, though those usage tips can be in the vein of "don't use this ever" or "this mechanic is useless in 95% of cases" if necessary (see [[#General guidelines]]).

In many cases, there are ways to optimise the subject for specific scenarios; these scenarios are worth mentioning on the subject's strategy article, but the details are usually better saved for articles about those scenarios where they're more relevant. In the case of ''Bloons TD'', usually if someone is struggling to beat a specific map/mode, they're going to that map/mode's page, not the page for a specific tower, so it's better to structure articles around that. For example, it's worth mentioning that [[Ice Shards (BTD6)|Ice Shards]] is exceptional in [[Race]]s, but the details of how to use it in Races should be saved for Race mode's strategy article.

In the case of ''Bloons TD'', usually if someone is struggling to beat a specific map/mode, or they want to get better at a specific event, they're going to that map/mode/event's page, not the page for a specific tower, so it's better to structure articles around that. For example, it's worth mentioning that [[Ice Shards (BTD6)|Ice Shards]] is exceptional in [[Race]]s, but the details of how to use it in Races should be saved for Race mode's strategy article, since that's where people go to find information about how to optimise Races.

Details about synergies between different gameplay elements should be saved for articles about synergies (e.g. [[Strategy:Bloons TD 6/Synergies]], [[Strategy:Bloons TD Battles 2/Loadouts]], and [[Strategy:Bloons Card Storm/Decks]]).
