His primary use is for his array of buffs. Baseline, he discounts towers by 10%, and higher levels improve the effectiveness of this discount, letting the player set up their defense earlier than usual. His [[Allegro Tempo]] grants all towers in his range +10% range, while [[Inspiring Melody]] is the equivalent of a [[Monkey Intelligence Bureau]], granting camo detection and letting any tower affected by him pop any bloon. Note that while [[Rock Out!]] is useful, the preceding upgrade, [[Catchy Tunes]], can cause lag. Because of these buffs, he is the best candidate for items that provide buffs for other towers, such as [[Siren Hat]] and [[Treetrunk's Apple Knife]], with range-increasing items such as [[Glasses of Nerdicon]] and [[Baby Blanket]] for buffing the most towers.

Even though he is primarily utilized for buffs, he can also provide income. While [[Superstar]] is the main source of income before level 7, once he reaches level 7, he can use [[Fortune]] for large sums of cash. As Fortune drops 250 cash for every red bloon popped, this results in round 13 outside of Martian Games earning over 20,000 cash, although this requires him popping every bloon. Because it will not award the cash from any bloon besides a red bloon, he must not run any damage-increasing items, including [[The Lover]], for maximum effectiveness, and [[Banana Replicator (BATTD)|Banana Replicator]] does not affect the cash from this. Thus, the standard support build can be utilized, but with an attack speed instrument such as [[Golden Viola]] or [[Jake's Viola]] instead of a damage buffing instrument.

While Tuxedo Jake can be useful, he is not necessary for clearing or unlocking any content besides his associated adventure, and the maps from his associated adventure can appear in events or [[Martian Games]].  If the player opts for purchasing Tuxedo Jake with real money, waiting for the discount that arrives in intervals of slightly over a month<!--and also discounts [[Hunter Marceline (BATTD)|]] during said interval--> is recommended if possible, as it will save 40% compared with buying him outside of said discount.
