Lord of the Abyss creates an ink platform that allows placement of water towers. It has an unbuffable range of 28.
Lord of the Abyss creates an ink platform that allows placement of water towers. It has a fixed range of 28, which cannot be affected by range modifiers.


Towers cannot be repositioned into this water, and cannot support [[Admiral Brickell (BTD6)|Admiral Brickell]]'s Mega Mine but can support her and normal mines.
All towers can be placed and repositioned into ink platforms, however the ink is not considered water for the sake of water-specific buffs and [[Admiral Brickell (BTD6)|Admiral Brickell]]'s Mega Mine.


In the case of [[Beast Handler (BTD6)|Beast Handler]], its water beasts can only be repositioned into the ink if there's no available real water, and can only be randomly placed to a new location around the Lord of the Abyss's ink platform range.
Prior to [[Bloons TD 6 v49.0|version 49.0]], [[Beast Handler (BTD6)|Beast Handler]]'s water beasts could only be repositioned into the ink if there would be no available real water, and could only be randomly placed to a new location around the Lord of the Abyss's ink platform range.

Overall, the Lord of the Abyss has niche practicality, with its favored game mode being Boss Events. Compared to [[Abyssal Warrior]], which costs more than triple the cost, Lord of the Abyss is a poor cleanup tower on its own because even though its faster tridents allow it to slow blimps more consistently, its tentacles aren't quick enough and cannot one-shot Super Ceramics, and it's unable to use all its tentacle attacks on most maps. The extra 20% pierce buff on top of Abyssal Warrior is not significant for single towers such as [[Carpet of Spikes (BTD6)|Carpet of Spikes]] or [[Perma-Spike (BTD6)|Perma-Spike]], but it is helpful as a support for [[Spike Storm (BTD6)|Spike Storm]] spam in Boss Events. The ability to place water towers on land does not do anything for its viability in CHIMPS, but is nice to have in general gameplay, and in Boss Events it expands space for building and powering up<!--i.e. water sacs--> water-based Paragons (especially [[Nautic Siege Core]]).<!--e.g. vortex event nautic go far from vortex-->

The 5-2-0 crosspath should be used for extra pierce on the trident attack, and 5-0-2 should be used if innate camo detection is needed.
