Strategy: PLEASE see Blooncyclopedia:Hidden comments. Also, since costly MK are needed and easy maps are also needed, I just don't think this "strat" can be listed in good faith, even if technically true. Why were map difficulty links removed?

Crossbow Master is one of the worst Tier 5 towers in general gameplay. It is too expensive to be viable in the mid-game, it pierce caps too often, relies heavily on straight lines, and constantly misses even with optimal placement. It also becomes barely usable starting on Round 81 due to {{BTD6|Super Ceramic}}s' high health. It falls off heavily on most Advanced maps and a few Intermediate maps, but remains usable on all Beginner maps.<!--"beginner or intermediate" is a misnomer; good luck with lost crevasse xbm-->

Crossbow Master's best use case is a solution to defeat {{BTD6|Deflation}}, requiring {{BTD6 mk|Come On Everybody!}} and {{BTD6 mk|Bonus Monkey!}} to afford a 0-2-5 Crossbow Master. {{BTD6 mk|Master Double Cross}} is only notable for the bonus Tier 5 for [[Apex Plasma Master]].
0-2-5's greater single-target damage and reliability plus better receptiveness to flat pierce buffs (e.g. {{BTD6|Primary Training}}) is superior to 2-0-5, which has more potential DPS against groups, but doubles down on its reliance on straight lines.
