→Strategy: crosspathing is just not necessary, still useful but just less so, really less so
→Strategy: Xpaths are always mentioned last usually, but there's a giant table blocking the way. Replaced hyphen - with en dash – for a range of numbers.

Due to its high price, Ultraboost is rarely viable in [[CHIMPS]] and most standard game modes. However, it is a vital support during Boss events and [[Freeplay]] due to the strong permanent buffs it provides to towers over time. Stalling may be important to acquire as many stacks on towers as possible, though it's still capped by its 10 uses per round. Purchasing Ultraboost always sets the ability to full cooldown, so it's usually preferred if [[Overclock (BTD6)|Overclock]] uses its ability one more time before upgrading to Ultraboost.
Due to its high price, Ultraboost rarely sees usage in most standard gamemodes. However, it is a vital support tower during [[Boss Events]] and [[Freeplay]] due to its capability to permanently buff multiple towers. Stalling is important in these gamemodes to apply as many buff stacks on towers as possible, but keep in mind the ability is capped at 10 uses per round. Purchasing Ultraboost always sets the ability on cooldown, thus it is preferred to use the {{BTD6|Overclock}} ability one more time before upgrading. The most powerful towers such as [[VTSG|(Vengeful)]] [[True Sun God (BTD6)|True Sun Gods]] should be given ×10 Ultraboost stacks as soon as possible, along with strong tier 5 towers such as [[M.A.D (BTD6)|M.A.D]] and [[Super Mines (BTD6)|Super Mines]]. Ultraboosting a [[Banana Central (BTD6)|Banana Central]] increases its cash production substantially. Note that [[Lych]] steals both the permanent and temporary buff of towers in range when it absorbs buffs, which heals the Boss. If using Ultraboost against Lych, try to keep boosted towers far away from Lych during tiers 1–4, and do not use Ultraboost at all during tier 5.

Ultraboost does not require any crosspaths due to none affecting its ability.


The following table shows the increase in production of different Banana Farms after using Ultraboost, and if they have the Overclock active or not.

Despite its extra pierce, Ultraboost is a very poor damage dealer by itself. Crosspaths are not needed, since none of the crosspaths improve the ability.
