~~{{outdated|Avenger nerf, and the avenger "buff" to shotgun range makes harder to stack buffs, also how good is new knockback amount}}~~

Avenger's shrapnel benefits greatly from pierce and damage buffs (such as [[Berserker Brew (BTD6)|Berserker Brew]] and [[Primary Training (BTD6)|Primary Training]]) and Bloon debuffs, solidifying group damage. Its knockback helps it cover single targets below a {{BTD6|BAD}}. Two Avengers are strong enough to lock down one section of a map lategame with support, and is better on maps that allow separation of defenses so it can maximize [[Wanderer]] buffs for its shotgun. [[Glue Storm (BTD6)|Glue Storm]] is recommended to allow it to handle DDTs. [[Dan D'Monke (BTD6)|Dan D'Monke]] and [[Ezili (BTD6)|Ezili]] are the main Heroes that can manually trigger its [[Nomad]] life loss ability, with Dan's Rabble Rouser ability being the only one usable in [[CHIMPS]]. Finally, its life loss reduction effect can be used as a last resort in the mid-game, but its income generation from leaked weak Bloons is difficult and almost always impractical.

Getting Avenger inside range of a Village without losing one of the shotgun's Wanderer stacks can be difficult, but placing Avenger near the edge of the Village's range can allow it to retain the stack. Adding a second Village to buff the other Village can be added if necessary. Any repositioning function like the Reposition abilities of [[Support Chinook (BTD6)|Support Chinook]] and Dan D'Monke makes precise placement more forgiving by re-moving Avenger in case of placement error.

0-2-4 is preferred for inherent [[Camo detection]] and the crit damage. 2-0-4 can be used if external Camo detection exists or if the former's lack of single-target damage and knockback is too severe.
