Strategy: crosspath mention and locked on Strong being a pain in backside for the bma (strong targets fddts over fzomgs and the such)
Strategy: Reword. If there is nothing that can be done about the ddt chasing, I'm not sure about the merits of including it in strategy.

Bloon Master Alchemist's main use is speeding up rounds in [[Freeplay]] by instantly killing [[blimps]] besides {{BTD6|BAD}}s. Converted blimps do not count towards [[Sapper]] or other [[achievements]] (besides [[Bloon Master Populous|its own]]) and do not make money. For normal gameplay, it is inferior to other towers such as {{BTD6|Bloon Crush}} or {{BTD6|Master Bomber}}, which cover lower tier blimps much more consistently while providing either stall utility or good BAD damage without hurting income. BMA's extreme RBE removal does limit pierce-capping for low-pierce Paragons, making it the most efficient non-Paragon method for this, however its own extreme pop counter is irrelevant.<!--something about people assuming "high pop count = good tower", that's a myth, and that should be clarified--> Crosspaths don't affect BMA's shrink potion, and since it's locked on Strong, the BMA may chase DDTs instead of the high-RBE ZOMGs.
Bloon Master Alchemist often has a misleadingly high pop count despite not actually being a DPS tower. In reality, its main use is speeding up rounds in [[Freeplay]] by instantly killing [[blimps]] besides {{BTD6|BAD}}s. Converted blimps do not count towards [[Sapper]] or other [[achievements]] (besides [[Bloon Master Populous|its own]]) and do not make money. For normal gameplay, it is inferior to other towers such as {{BTD6|Bloon Crush}} or {{BTD6|Master Bomber}}, which cover lower tier blimps much more consistently while providing either stall utility or good BAD damage without hurting income. BMA is a suitable tower to limit pierce-capping for low-pierce [[Paragon]]s, making it the most efficient non-Paragon method for this. Crosspaths do not affect its shrink potion.
