Pirate Lord is a solid Tier 5, dealing massively improved damage across the board compared to its predecessor, {{BTD6|Monkey Pirates}}. Like most Buccaneers, positioning it so that track surrounds it on opposing sides is essential, as its attacks can then activate from both sides. Its much improved hook ability means that its slight weakness against single-targets is mitigated in nearly all scenarios, except the Round 100 {{BTD6|BAD}}. The extra cash from its hooks can be used for income, especially when paired with {{BTD6|Rubber to Gold}}, though {{BTD6|XXXL Trap}} is generally superior for this purpose. | Pirate Lord is a solid Tier 5, dealing massively improved damage across the board compared to its predecessor, {{BTD6|Monkey Pirates}}.

However, the 0-5-2 Pirate Lord is useful for the [[All for one and one for one]] achievement without selling, which is most easily achieved on [[Logs]], [[Cubism]], [[Resort]], and [[Spa Pits]]. {{BTD6|Admiral Brickell}} is essential to Pirate Lord, thanks to her Level 8 pierce buff and Naval Tactics ability granting a 2x attack speed boost in addition to {{BTD6|DDT}}-popping power to the frags. The 4-2-0 {{BTD6|Stronger Stimulant}} is strongly recommended as well, due to the low pierce of frags, low grape pierce, and {{BTD6|Perishing Potions}} being needed for uptime. | ||
In [[Race Event]]s, a non-crosspathed Pirate Lord can be used to grab multiple blimps instantly, especially if the last bloon is not a blimp (the takedown animation wastes time if they're the last target(s)). With [[Favored Trades (BTD6)|Favored Trades]], this saves money with sell-and-rebuy tricks. | |||
