Ascended Shadow has decent damage, but is fairly expensive. Its passive Grand Saboteur effect and buffs to Ninja Monkeys makes it a must-have in [[Freeplay]], but should not be bought too soon so it can avoid stealing pops for future Paragons. Setting on Strong is typically preferred, focusing its damage on stronger targets, particularly its extra damage to targets with sticky bombs.<!--nb: sticky always targets strong for ashadow--> | Ascended Shadow has decent damage, but is fairly expensive.

Versus Bosses, the majority of its Boss damage is from its sticky bombs. Its best matchup is against [[Phayze]] due to its damage bonus against Camo Bloons. On the other hand, its worst matchup is [[Blastapopoulos (BTD6)|Blastapopoulos]], which destroys its sticky bombs before they can detonate. | Versus Bosses, the majority of its Boss damage is from its sticky bombs.

Since its sticky bombs will ignore anything other than the active Boss, it's not weak to [[Lych]] or [[Dreadbloon (BTD6)|Dreadbloon]]. | ||
To maximize degrees from pops, a Ninja-centric defense consisting of all Tier 5 Ninjas and many [[Shinobi Tactics (BTD6)|Shinobi Tactics]] is recommended. For the cheapest T2 and T3 crosspaths for the most tiers, use 2-2-0 and 3-2-0. The cheapest Tier 4 for the most tiers is 4-2-0 [[Bloonjitsu (BTD6)|Bloonjitsu]], and for the most expensive use 2-0-4 [[Sticky Bomb (BTD6)|Sticky Bomb]]s. | To maximize degrees from pops, a Ninja-centric defense consisting of all Tier 5 Ninjas and many [[Shinobi Tactics (BTD6)|Shinobi Tactics]] is recommended.
