Primary Expertise can be used to support strategies involving heavy use of [[Primary]] towers by increasing their pierce and further decreasing their ability cooldowns. However, this support usually isn't worth the price tag, and the village is often better kept as [[Primary Mentoring (BTD6)|Primary Mentoring]] or [[Primary Training (BTD6)|Primary Training]] with the cash spent on other support towers. In [[Boss Bloon Event|Boss Bloon Events]] or [[Freeplay]] Primary Expertise's cooldown reduction is valuable in reducing the cooldown of [[Glue Storm (BTD6)|Glue Storm]].

The Mega Ballista attack on the Primary Expertise can one-shot [[Super Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Super Ceramic Bloons]] but is slow-firing and its seeking isn't always accurate. It performs worse against [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]] due to its pierce penalty. This attack should not be relied upon to do any meaningful damage.
