• 8 stars - Base attack cooldown decreased by 0.1*

• "Say hello to my little friend!"

When selected:

• "Ready to roll!"
• "Watch the springs!"
• "Locked on target!"
• "All set!"

• "I'm glad I'm wearing a helmet." (when annoyed)

Strategies

Juggernaut Max has the highest pierce of any tower in the game. Because of this, he is best used for cleaning up swarms of bloons. He also can provide support against MOAB-Class Bloons. What upgrade path he uses will depend on what the player is after. Snowballs freezes bloons in place, but the freeze duration is very short for stronger MOAB-Class Bloons. Gumballs only halves the speed of MOABs, but its effect is permanent no matter what type of MOAB (except BAD) it hits. Great Balls of Fire does 18 DPS against MOABs, but loses out on the slows from other upgrades. Thus, Snowballs requires lots of attack speed before it is practical, while Gumballs is effective no matter if Back to Basics is enabled or not, and Fire is generally impractical.

Juggernaut Max is overall not recommended as his MOAB Damage is sub par, his attacks can be inconsistent, and non MOABs are easily cleaned up by other towers. If he is utilized, he is best used as a support in Back To Basics so he can slow down non-BADs with gumballs and clean up regular bloons. He can also be used in Allies Only for an extra COBRA and Tech Terror. If the player does plan on making a build for him, getting as many attack speed trinkets as possible is recommended, as he already does significant damage against ceramics and MOABs, and attack speed also lets him apply his gumball or freeze effect more often 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.
