Hunter Marceline is a very powerful global range character that provides respectable DPS. Her [[Soul Sucking]] upgrades not only slows down bloons below a [[BAD (BATTD)|BAD]], including [[DDT (BATTD)|DDT]]s, but also gives her benefits depending on what bloon she sucks the soul of. If she sucks a lead (but not DDT) bloon she gains lead-popping, if she sucks a camo bloon or DDT she gains camo detection, and if she sucks a MOAB-class bloon she gains +5 damage against MOABs. Thus, despite starting with sharp damage, she can still pop DDTs without support if she can suck the proper bloons. <!--perishshit post on reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/battd/comments/1dlm7al/an_over_analysis_of_hunter_marceline/) claims she immediately attacks 60/s if she barely breaks 30 but this does not match with my testing ~desarch-->

As most of her upgrades are about dealing damage, she should be utilized for DPS. Stacking as much attack speed as possible is highly recommended as she can attack so fast that achieving the speed cap of 60 attacks per second can be reasonably achieved without powers when she has high levels. Besides attack speed, [[Engineers Blueprints]] and [[Demon Heart]] provide large amounts of damage for her, and [[Mace Stake]] unlocks [[Smart Stakes]] which lets her hit multiple BADs at once in late game [[Martian Games]], or simply deal with swarms of bloons in general. While primarily a DPS character, her Soul Sucking is still useful for slowing down DDTs, and [[Feast of The Damned]] lets her apply the soul suck effect on all applicable bloons on screen.

Hunter Marceline is a very powerful global range character that provides respectable DPS. Her Soul Sucking upgrades not only slows down bloons below a BAD, including DDTs, but also gives her benefits depending on what bloon she sucks the soul of. If she sucks a lead (but not DDT) bloon she gains lead-popping, if she sucks a camo bloon or DDT she gains camo detection, and if she sucks a MOAB-class bloon she gains +5 damage against MOABs. Thus, despite starting with sharp damage, she can still pop DDTs without support if she can suck the proper bloons.

As most of her upgrades are about dealing damage, she should be utilized for DPS. Stacking as much attack speed as possible is highly recommended as she can attack so fast that achieving the speed cap of 60 attacks per second can be reasonably achieved without powers when she has high levels. If Snake Darts is necessary for 60 attacks a second, it should be used, otherwise Silver Tipped Stakes or Dragon Fangs are better. Besides attack speed, Engineers Blueprints and Demon Heart provide large amounts of damage for her, and Mace Stake unlocks Smart Stakes which lets her hit multiple BADs at once in late game Martian Games, or simply deal with swarms of bloons in general. While primarily a DPS character, her Soul Sucking is still useful for slowing down DDTs, and Feast of The Damned lets her apply the soul suck effect on all applicable bloons on screen.
