Lord of the Abyss

Line 42:

Overall, the Lord of the Abyss ~~is absurdly strong~~. ~~Its tentacles deal massive damage at 50 damage~~, ~~and~~ the tridents ~~have incredible pierce. They~~ tentacles ~~can~~ one shot Ceramics ~~too~~. The ~~only problem is the tentacles~~ can~~'t pop Leads~~. ~~It can be paired with Final Harmonic~~, ~~which catches the bloons~~ in ~~a circle~~, for ~~more bloons getting popped by either the tentacles or the tridents~~.

Overall, the Lord of the Abyss has niche practicality, with its favored game mode being Boss Events. Compared to [[Abyssal Warrior]], which costs more than triple the cost, Lord of the Abyss is a poor cleanup tower on its own because even though its faster tridents allow it to slow blimps more consistently, its tentacles are still not fast enough against non-blimps, cannot one-shot Super Ceramics, and it's unable to use all its tentacle attacks on most maps, despite its incredible pierce. The extra 20% pierce buff on top of Abyssal Warrior can help to improve DPS of Spike Factories, including [[Carpet of Spikes (BTD6)|Carpet of Spikes]] and [[Perma-Spike (BTD6)|Perma-Spike]], and very effective for [[Spike Storm (BTD6)|Spike Storm]] spam in Boss Events. The ability to place water towers on land does not do anything for its viability in CHIMPS, but is nice to have in general gameplay, and in Boss Events it expands space for building and powering up water-based Paragons (especially [[Nautic Siege Core]]).

The 5-0-2 is generally preferred, even without considering innate camo detection from [[Echosense Precision]], due to the huge range bonuses that [[Echosense Networking]] provide, allowing it to reach almost all of the map. In particular, placing on the middle of the water allows to cover all lanes of [[Quad]]. 5-2-0 is only needed for more pierce on the trident attack or the tentacles, but tentacles have huge pierce already.
