Line 19:

'''Crossbow''' is the [[Dart Monkey (BTD6)|Dart Monkey]]'s path 3 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It replaces the Dart Monkey's darts with a crossbow, which has longer [[range]] and fires bolts that deal 3 [[damage]] instead of 1, can pop up to 4 [[Bloon]]s at once instead of 2, and travel slightly faster and further.

With, [[Sharp Shots (BTD6)|Sharp Shots]], shots gain +3 pierce, plus another +5 pierce (total of +8 pierce) with [[Razor Sharp Shots (BTD6)|Razor Sharp Shots]].

With, [[Sharp Shots (BTD6)|Sharp Shots]], shots gain +3 pierce, plus another +5 pierce (total of +8 pierce) with [[Razor Sharp Shots (BTD6)|Razor Sharp Shots]]; in total, they have 7 and 12 pierce, respectively.

{{BTD6 last updated|49.2|section=y}}Crossbow is a decent early-game tower, with its main role being defeating early-game {{BTD6|Camo Bloon}}s. On easier maps, it can solo all Camos that spawn before Round 40 outside [[Alternate Bloons Rounds]]. However, it is not as useful on [[Expert]] maps, where the lack of straight lines makes its shots miss frequently and prevent it from maximizing its pierce. 0-2-3 is the optimal crosspath, as the reliability and greater single-target damage from the extra attack speed outweigh the importance of extra pierce.

Target it along straight lines to maximize pierce. Setting on Strong or Last is generally typical of Crossbow, unless using it for cleanup which uses First. 0-2-3 is the optimal crosspath, as the reliability and greater single-target damage from the extra attack speed generally outweigh the importance of extra pierce.
