Avenger's low range, pierce, and damage demand multiple buffs (e.g. {{BTD6|Berserker Brew}} and {{BTD6|Primary Training}}) to become a viable midgame carry, but its blimp knockback makes it excel in the late-game, with two on separated regions of the map for consistency. ~~If only used for MOAB-class knockback, Avenger~~'s ~~shotgun range~~ can ~~be positioned just far enough from the track to avoid targeting {{BTD6|Ceramic Bloon}}s yet clipping blimps' large hitboxes, particularly~~ for ~~the {{BTD6|Quickdraw}} benefits~~. It should be set to [[Strong]] as its knockback is just as effective against {{BTD6|ZOMG}}s as against {{BTD6|MOAB}}s. Avenger performs poorly against {{BTD6|DDT}}s even with Lead popping buffs. Finally, its life loss reduction effect can be used as a last resort in the mid-game, but is difficult for making income with its [[Nomad]] effect.

2-0-4 is preferred to directly increase knockback uptime and damage at long range. 0-2-4 gets more damage at close range via crits and has natural [[Camo detection]], but this hurts Avenger late game due to its lack of DDT damage.
