Crossbow Master is one of the worst Tier 5 towers in general gameplay. On easier [[Beginner]] maps, it can carry a defense to round 80, but it is far too expensive to fulfill this role. It also pierce caps too often versus Ceramics on dense rounds such as 63, not helped by the exact amount of damage it deals turning them into Blues, resulting in creating too many separate Bloons than can be handled. It also relies heavily on straight lines, and constantly misses even with optimal placement. It also becomes almost unusable starting on Round 81 due to {{BTD6|Super Ceramic}}s' high health. It falls off heavily on [[Advanced]] and [[Expert]] maps, and even some trickier [[Intermediate]] maps like Chutes and Rake.
Crossbow Master is one of the worst Tier 5 towers in general gameplay. On easier [[Beginner]] maps, it can carry a defense to round 80, yet too expensive for this role for how many weaknesses it has throughout the game. During the mid-game, it pierce caps too often versus Ceramics on dense rounds such as 63, not helped by the exact amount of damage it deals two-shotting them into Blues, creating many more Bloon clumps that severely worsen its cleanup. It relies heavily on straight lines, and has a tendancy to miss shots on many lane formats. Its value diminishes signficantly beginning on round 81 because of the high health of {{BTD6|Super Ceramic}}s. It falls off heavily on [[Advanced]] and [[Expert]] maps, and even some trickier [[Intermediate]] maps like Chutes and Rake.


Crossbow Master is one of two T5 options that can reliably solo [[Deflation (BTD6)|Deflation]], requiring {{BTD6 mk|Come On Everybody!}} and {{BTD6 mk|Bonus Monkey!}} to afford a 0-2-5 Crossbow Master. It is preferred over 5-2-0 [[The Blazing Sun]] on maps that require long range, such as [[Tricky Tracks]].
