'''Crossbow Master''' is the [[Dart Monkey (BTD6~~)|Dart Monkey]]~~'s path 3 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It ~~now gains~~ significantly more [[range]], [[pierce]], +150% attack speed, +2 [[damage]], ~~gains~~ the normal damage type (can pop Frozen and [[Lead Bloon (BTD6~~)|Lead Bloons]]~~), ~~and has more~~ projectile speed and lifespan. Additionally ~~this tower~~ now deals 80 damage per crit and crits occur every 5th shot.

Crossbow Master is a decent mid-game tower, requiring a 4-2-0 {{B|Stronger Stimulant|BTD6}} to maximize its mid-game tower by allowing it to two-shot {{B|Ceramic Bloon|BTD6}}s by turning them into {{B|Rainbow Bloon|BTD6}}s and then nothing. Without Stronger Stimulant, it becomes weak even during the mid-game due to the shots turning Ceramics into many {{B|Blue Bloon|BTD6}}s that pierce-cap it. Its power falls off starting on Round 81 due to [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)#Super Ceramic Bloon|Super Ceramics]] starting to appear, preventing it from layer-skipping Ceramics effectively.

Crossbow Master relies on straight lines to maximize its pierce and prevent its shots from missing, thus it is recommended to put it at a spot that can utilize them. Due to the lack of abundant straight lines on [[Expert]] maps, it is generally not recommended to use Crossbow Master on these maps. 0-2-5 is the optimal crosspath, as the greater attack speed's granting of extra single-target damage and reliability outweighs the importance of extra pierce, especially on maps without abundant straight lines. Crossbow Master can also be used as a simple way to defeat {{B|Deflation|BTD6}} on [[Beginner]] and [[Intermediate]] maps, requiring {{BTD6 mk|Come On Everybody!}} and either {{BTD6 mk|More Cash}} or {{BTD6 mk|Bonus Monkey!}} to afford a 0-2-5 Crossbow Master.
