Strategy: matchups with bosses (i was debating on vortex, lych, and phayze), might be worth a section specifying boss matchups but that would be for another artucle?

Apex Plasma Master stands out for being the cheapest Paragon in terms of both its standalone upgrade and cumulative costs from its T5's and below. However, it is a weak Paragon if there are a lack of walls or map edges for the balls to bounce off, as most of its DPS hugely relies on bounces rehitting targets. Its main use cases are [[Boss Bloon Event]]s on maps with walls (e.g. [[Sulfur Springs]], [[Encrypted]], [[Dark Path]]) or plenty of coverage for non-central track (e.g. [[Winter Park]]), and for [[Boss Rush]] if Dart is enabled. Its best Boss matchup is [[Blastapopoulos (BTD6)|Blastapopoulos]], whose pyroclastic rocks can actually favor its DPS, while its worst Boss matchups are [[Lych (BTD6)|Lych]] and [[Vortex (BTD6)|Vortex]], which greatly struggle to speedy DDTs.

Unique to Apex Plasma Master, the extra Crossbow Master from {{BTD6 mk|Master Double Cross}} MK is enough to obtain a Degree 22 without pops or additional sacrifices, counting as a bonus T5; it's a noteworthy headstart against Boss Bloons.
