Golden Justice's infinite pierce and high damage from the rifle attack makes it stand out against hyperdense rounds if it is allowed to shoot along a long straight line and if Bloons are slow enough between its long cooldown. The rifle's speed penalty makes it unreliable without consistent straight lines, and struggles versus fast-moving Bloons such as DDTs and Super Ceramics, hence unsuitable for most Expert Maps except [[Dark Castle]]. Like its previous two upgrades, the pistol attack should be avoided if possible, which is forced when Bloons get close and has significantly less DPS.

2-5-0 is the ~~preferred crosspath~~, as [[Quickdraw (BTD6)|Quickdraw]] ~~takes advantage of~~ extra ~~attack~~ speed from ~~attacking far away and~~ [[~~Standoff~~]] ~~improves its~~ single~~-target consistency.~~ [[~~Nomad~~]] ~~is helpful to reduce the cooldown between shots as Bloons enter its~~ range, ~~but~~ retaining ~~full [[~~Wanderer]] buffs is not ~~worth losing support towers that compensate its slow attack speed~~.

Unlike the previous two upgrades, 0-5-2 is generally better compared to 2-5-0, given the large downtime between shots often causing more Bloons to enter its range on average, lowering [[Quickdraw (BTD6)|Quickdraw]]'s distance speed buff and favoring the extra speed per Bloon in range from [[Nomad]], even disregarding [[Wanderer]]. However, 2-5-0 is still preferable against single targets because of [[Standoff]]. As it already has long range, retaining Wanderer buffs is not practical outside of custom challenges.
