Strategy

For more in-depth strategies, see Strategy:Marceline (BATTD).

Marceline can be built as both a damage dealer and a supporting character with decent effect.

For a damage build, the usual trinkets like Baker's Shard and Demon Heart are obvious, as well as Marceline equipping the Vorpal Hand due to her being a melee character. Apple in practicality is the only range buff she'll need, as well as it being the only source of flight speed, makes it valuable despite the rarity. Dragon Eyes can be used to counteract her lack of camo vision, as using Glasses of Nerdicon would waste the range stat.

For a supporting build, she can be used with decent effect as a map-wide source of eco, as she can equip the Mystery Cave Pick and Thief King's Dagger to gain tons of cash early on, provided the player can afford Marceline at the start of a game. Her buffing capabilites are rather weak, as Hambo only reduces the price of other abilities and not their cooldown, resulting in the only real option being a Technological Terror damage buff with Devil Monster Bass. Using her for the damage buff however conflicts with eco, as the more damage she does, the less opportunities she has for painting bloons gold with King of Ooo's Scepter and generating gold with Thief King's Dagger, so Fire Guitar may be preferable for buffing characters with speed, although it provides nearly no benefits for Tech Terrors.

Marceline's allies are very set in stone, as she has 3 very important allies in Hunson Abadeer, Vampire King, and Grob Gob Glob Grod, however the last ally slot is very difficult to utilize as there aren't many that contribute meaningfully to a setup. It can be used for holding the Monkey Farmer or for Wildberry Princess.
