Strategy

While it is consistent at handling Leads, the lightning's pierce is deficient for its cost compared to similar options such as Burny Stuff, causing it to fall apart against dense rushes and especially falls off against Ceramics, and is not consistent against fast-moving spaced out Bloons without assistance. Its de-regrow function with Level 4+ Apprentice Monkey Knowledge is not reliable against Regrow rushes alone.

Monkey Sense can be added if needing to handle Camo rushes, such as Camo Leads.
