As a very cheap tier 5, the Blazing Sun serves a similar role to the 2-0-5 [[Elite Defender (BTD6)|Elite Defender]], both towers lacking pierce with high attack speed and damage. Comparatively, it trades off unlimited range for higher DPS and the capability to one-shot [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic Bloon]]s before round 81, allowing the player to easily save up to an expensive tier 5. However, it falls off starting from round 81, due to Super Ceramics taking multiple shots. As such, cleanup towers should be used alongside it, such as [[Etienne (BTD6)|Etienne]] for the UCAV to assist with cleanup and grouped popping power, or [[The Bloon Solver (BTD6)|The Bloon Solver]] for its immense strength against Ceramic Bloons. On later rounds, dense groups of blimps become a problem for The Blazing Sun, but it can provide solid supporting fire for rounds with high health single targets, such as 97 or 100. Its damage-over-time is high enough to consider pairing the upgrade with [[The Final Harmonic]] to amplify its effect. Like with all Desperados, [[Captain Churchill (BTD6)|Captain Churchill]] is a strong pick to cover its weaknesses. | As a very cheap tier 5, the Blazing Sun serves a similar role to the 2-0-5 [[Elite Defender (BTD6)|Elite Defender]], both towers lacking pierce with high attack speed and damage.

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. | 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]].

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.
