→Strategy: From my testing, Wall of Fire and Fireball definitely seem to be doing more damage even to dense rounds where the bolt pierce caps. The issue is that Wall of Fire and Fireball themselves also have great pierce and actually benefit more from dense rounds compared to the seeking bolts.
Line 41: Line 41:
5-2-0 does more damage to single targets and to clumped blimps due to the extra fire attacks. It will want external camo detection even with the Shimmer attack, as these are not enough to decamo every DDT on split lane maps. Its Wall of Fire attack should be manually targeted onto blimps if possible, as it depends more on its damage bonus against blimps than any other attack. Microing target priority between Last and Close can also help avoid using pierce on Ceramics, maximizing damage, while targeting the MOAB rushes that Last tends to leave behind.

5-0-2 primarily has the benefit of innate camo detection and range bonus, plus consistent pierce with the bolts and flames, making it suitable versus [[Phayze]] and very dense bloon rounds.
5-0-2 primarily has the benefit of innate camo detection and range bonus, making it suitable versus [[Phayze]], but is otherwise worse both for single target damage and against dense rounds such as 98.<!-- Maybe the strong seeking bolts getting more pierce is useful for off lane snipes on Quad or something during DDT rounds? In testing the two were performing the same on my end even then. On 98, 520 did more damage. -->
