Long Reach (BTD6): Difference between revisions

'''Long Reach''' is the [[Spike Factory (BTD6)|Spike Factory]]'s path 3 tier 1 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It increases the Spike Factory's [[range]] by 8 [[distance unit]]s and doubles the [[projectile lifespan|lifespan]] of its spike piles, though it doesn't prevent them from disappearing at the end of each round. It also doubles the lifespan of the spikes from [[Spike Storm (BTD6)|Spike Storm]]'s and [[Carpet of Spikes (BTD6)|Carpet of Spikes]]'s abilities. [[Crosspath]]ing with [[Spiked Mines (BTD6)|Spiked Mines]] increases the [[projectile radius|blast radius]] of its explosions by ~33% and crosspathing with [[Super Mines (BTD6)|Super Mines]] increases the radius of its main and mini-explosions by the same degree.

Long Reach should never be used as a standalone upgrade without going for [[Smart Spikes (BTD6)|Smart Spikes]]. Its lifespan bonus is its only useful function, which Smart Spikes gets regardless. Its range bonus worsens its reliability and is inferior to direct DPS increases of the top and middle crosspaths.
