Strategies
Juggernaut Max has the highest pierce of any tower in the game. Because of this, he has excellent synergy with characters and upgrades that can slow down Bloons or add additional benefits. It's usually ideal to have him partnered up with the characters that can enhance his Juggernaut attack, even if you don't purchase the upgrade specific to that character. For example, upgrading Juggernaut Max to Great Balls of Fire and having him near Ice King with Winter Weather can be an effective combination. Juggernaut Max's biggest weakness is his attack speed. This can make him less effective at damaging MOAB class Bloons, similar to Dart Monkey's upgraded to Spike-O-Pult and/or Juggernaut. If you want to pop MOABs, don't use him unless you wish to pop the MOAB's children. When choosing a weapon and trinkets, it is best to select items that increase his damage output and speed, rather than his pierce. He can easily deal with MOABs with keep rolling as it does 150 damage against M.O.A.B. Class Bloons. If you don't have level 5, you can use Great balls of fire against MOABs.

Trivia

 * Between the 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 updates, Juggernaut Max's voice actor changed, making him the only hero/character to ever get his voice changed in between updates. His former voice actor was Mark Garrison in 1.0.1, and in 1.0.2 and later, his current voice actor is Gary Furlong. However, he still keeps his old quotes.
 * This also applies to his Dart counterpart.
 * The quote "Say hello to my little friend!" is also a line from the 1983 film Scarface.
 * The Great Balls of Fire upgrade is a reference to the song of the same name by Jerry Lee Lewis.
 * This upgrade may also have been named this way to avoid confusion with Sam's Fireball upgrade.
