Line 21:

With Path 1 upgrades, [[Sharp Shots (BTD6)|Sharp Shots]] and [[Razor Sharp Shots (BTD6)|Razor Sharp Shots]] both grant +8 pierce each, the latter granting a total of +16 pierce; they have 16 and 24 pierce, respectively.

With {{BTD6 mk|Master Double Cross}}, 2 Crossbow Masters ~~owned by the same player can be~~ on the field at the same time.

With {{BTD6 mk|Master Double Cross}}, the player is allowed to place or upgrade to a second Crossbow Master, allowing two Crossbow Masters on the field at the same time.

Besides being too expensive to be a viable option for the mid-game, Crossbow Master also requires a 3-2-0 [[Berserker Brew (BTD6)|Berserker Brew]] for it to two-shot {{BTD6|Ceramic Bloon}}s with layer skipping. Despite its decent DPS, it pierce caps too often, relies too much on straight lines, and constantly misses even with optimal placement, making it one of the worst Tier 5 towers for CHIMPS and general gameplay. It becomes unusable starting on Round 81 due to [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)#Super Ceramic Bloon|Super Ceramics]] starting to appear, preventing it from cleaning up effectively. Crossbow Master ~~does nothing to improve the issues that~~ its [[Sharp Shooter (BTD6)|previous upgrade]] ~~has~~. {{BTD6 mk|Master Double Cross}} does not do anything to fix its attack weaknesses, being only useful for the bonus Tier 5 for [[Apex Plasma Master]].

Crossbow Master's best use case is a solution to defeat {{BTD6|Deflation}} on [[Beginner]] and [[Intermediate]] maps, requiring {{BTD6 mk|Come On Everybody!}} and {{BTD6 mk|Bonus Monkey!}} to afford a 0-2-5 Crossbow Master.
