The Blazing Sun can be considered for a run that is otherwise incredibly weak to the [[BAD (BTD6)|BAD]] on round 100. Coupled with Bounty Hunter's mark, it can solo the outer layer and provide good damage to the insides. If the children [[DDT (BTD6)|DDTs]] or Ceramic cleanup is sufficient, however, multiple [[Twin Sixes]] are a cheaper buy. | The Blazing Sun can be considered for a run that is otherwise incredibly weak to the [[BAD (BTD6)|BAD]] on round 100.

It is also effective at dealing with tier 1 [[Boss Bloon]]s with its high single-target damage output, especially against [[Lych (BTD6)|Lych]] and [[Bloonarius (BTD6)|Bloonarius]], and the non-primary phases of [[Dreadbloon (BTD6)|Dreadbloon]]. | It is also effective at dealing with tier 1 [[Boss Bloon]]s with its high single-target damage output, especially against [[Lych (BTD6)|Lych]] and [[Bloonarius (BTD6)|Bloonarius]], and the non-primary phases of [[Dreadbloon (BTD6)|Dreadbloon]]. [[Phayze]] can be beaten as well, but it requires lots of track length covered by the Blazing Sun to be effective, due to the unique abilities of the Boss and the limited range of the Desperado. | ||
Its best crosspath is 5-2-0, as one is already encouraged to place the tower far away from the track to maximize [[Bullseye (BTD6)|Bullseye]] and Quickdraw benefits. Speed buffs do not contribute much to the Blazing Sun's DPS, as its shot bursts have a fixed firing rate,<!--fixed gun pewpew rate of 0.05s--> and neither [[Wanderer]] nor [[Nomad]] give enough attack speed combined to offer greater average DPS than the crits, even under perfect conditions. | Its best crosspath is 5-2-0, as one is already encouraged to place the tower far away from the track to maximize [[Bullseye (BTD6)|Bullseye]] and Quickdraw benefits.
