*If the opponent is about to win next turn, ARBITR can prevent it, assuming the opponent lacks burst damage or removals against the ARBITR. Use it to ~~give enough time to defend,~~ temporarily stop the opponent's board, and send your own counterrushes.

*If the opponent is about to win next turn, ARBITR can prevent it, assuming the opponent lacks burst damage or removals against the ARBITR. Use it to temporarily stop the opponent's board, gain turns to defend, and send your own counterrushes if possible.

**Don't get complacent with the ARBITR; the opponent may still try to pop or remove it. For instance, [[Robo Monkey (BCS)|Robo Monkey]] with at least one damage buff can ~~one-shot~~ an unbuffed ARBITR, and [[Sticky Bomb (BCS)|Sticky Bomb]] is a cheap counter.

**Don't get complacent with the ARBITR; the opponent may still try to pop or remove it. For instance, [[Robo Monkey (BCS)|Robo Monkey]] with at least one damage buff can pop an unbuffed ARBITR with 3 or less ammo, and [[Sticky Bomb (BCS)|Sticky Bomb]] is a cheap counter.

**Some decks, including aggro decks, may add ARBITR as an anti-aggro Bloon. Have some Monkeys in a deck to limit the opportunity to lose all aggression.

**In a pinch versus the [[Storm (BCS)|Storm]], you can use ARBITR just before the round that many [[Pink Bloon (BCS)|Pink Bloon]]s would spawn.

*Bloon removers versus ARBITR include [[Return to Sender]], [[Bloon Redirect]], [[Gwendolin (BCS)|Gwendolin]]'s [[Extreme Heat]], and [[Bloon Master Alchemist (BCS)|Bloon Master Alchemist]] (though Monkey-specific Bloon removers can be countered by having [[Target Practice Blimp]]). [[MOAB Eliminator (BCS)|MOAB Eliminator]] can also work in an emergency.

*Bloon removers versus ARBITR include [[Return to Sender]], [[Bloon Redirect]] (150 HP or less), [[Gwendolin (BCS)|Gwendolin]]'s [[Extreme Heat]], and [[Bloon Master Alchemist (BCS)|Bloon Master Alchemist]] (though Monkey-specific Bloon removers can be countered by having [[Target Practice Blimp]]). [[MOAB Eliminator (BCS)|MOAB Eliminator]] can also work in an emergency.

**[[Dreadbloon (BCS)|Dreadbloon]] has [[Wrath of Dread]] to remove ARBITR.

*HP buffs (e.g. [[Improved Fortification]] and [[Booster Bloon]]) and Armor buffs (e.g. [[Lead Casing]]) allow the ARBITR to withstand more damage, but watch out for a Bloon removal.
