Line 109:

*[[Phayze (BTD6)|Phayze]]: Good matchup, since it can prevent a warp. Despite stripping Camo properties, Phayze will be immune to decamo for half the time, and can still be an anti-synergy with [[Ascended Shadow]].

*[[Blastapopoulos (BTD6)|Blastapopoulos]]: Another very strong matchup, with the Bloon damage debuff and Heat Bar reductions assisting projectile spam strategies significantly. Skipping a skull effect is beneficial to limit Pyroclastic Rocks or Meteors where towers are close to the Boss.

*[[Diamondback]]: Having an extra segment ~~for Diamondback adds~~ more ~~hitbox for~~ its ~~own~~ debuffs ~~upon hitting segments~~, though it also leaves more area to ~~deplete~~ pierce ~~partially~~.

*[[Diamondback]]: Having an extra segment leaves more opportunity to hit multiple parts of the Boss at once, and make it easier to trigger its self-debuffs, though this also leaves more area to partially consume pierce.

If the Paragon is mainly used for the damage debuff, getting a high degree is important to maximize the uptime, but it cannot reach full uptime without an external attack speed buff, and they do benefit reducing the long cooldown of the Fimbulwinter ability as well as cooling Blastapopoulos faster. Obtaining at least full uptime for the damage debuff requires {{BTD6 mk|Paragon of Power}} and at least Degree 78, with this MK and Degree 91 together having about 103% uptime. The direct damage increases are not too significant, but can help to an extent. Otherwise, if the Paragon is mainly used for skull skip, then Degree 1 is enough if the player buys it several rounds in advance.
