Additionally, it now deals 80 damage per crit and crits occur every 5th shot.

With Path 1 upgrades, [[Sharp Shots (BTD6)|Sharp Shots]] and [[Razor Sharp Shots (BTD6)|Razor Sharp Shots]] both grant +8 pierce each, the latter granting a total of +16 pierce.

{{BTD6 last updated|49.2|section=y}}Crossbow Master is a decent mid-game tower, requiring a 3-2-0 [[Berserker Brew (BTD6)|Berserker Brew]] to maximize its mid-game power by allowing it to two-shot {{B|Ceramic Bloon~~|BTD6~~}}s without needing crits by turning them into {{B|Rainbow Bloon~~|BTD6~~}}s or 1-HP Ceramics (depending on whether {{B|Acidic Mixture Dip~~|BTD6~~}} is active) and then nothing. Without Berserker Brew, it becomes weak even during the mid-game due to the shots turning Ceramics into many {{B|Blue Bloon~~|BTD6~~}}s that pierce-cap it. Its power falls off starting on Round 81 due to [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)#Super Ceramic Bloon|Super Ceramics]] starting to appear, preventing it from layer-skipping Ceramics effectively.

Crossbow Master relies on straight lines to maximize its pierce and prevent its shots from missing, thus it is recommended to put it at a spot that can utilize them. Due to the lack of abundant straight lines on [[Expert]] maps, it is generally not recommended to use Crossbow Master on these maps. 0-2-5 is the optimal crosspath, as the greater attack speed's granting of extra single-target damage and reliability outweighs the importance of extra pierce, especially on maps without abundant straight lines. Crossbow Master can also be used as a simple way to defeat {{B|Deflation~~|BTD6~~}} on [[Beginner]] and [[Intermediate]] maps, requiring {{BTD6 mk|Come On Everybody!}} and {{BTD6 mk|Bonus Monkey!}} to afford a 0-2-5 Crossbow Master.
