===Main attack===

The Mega Massive Munitions Factory's main [[attack]] deploys giant ~~spiked~~ mines in its radius. Like [[Super Mines (BTD6)|Super Mines]], they generate small explosions with 30 radius each time a Bloon touches them, which deal extra damage to [[Fortified Bloon (BTD6)|Fortified Bloon]]s and [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic Bloon]]s (but not [[Dreadbloon (BTD6)|Dreadbloon]]'s Ceramic Armor Shell). When they expire, by running out of [[pierce]], after 5 minutes, or after 5 [[round]]s (whichever comes first), they spawn a storm of 10 spike piles that each last for 9 to 11 seconds at random and can carry over one round. All [[projectile]]s deal [[Damage type|Normal-type]] [[damage]] and can hit [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloon]]s. The mines, explosions, and spike piles all benefit from {{BTD6 mk|One More Spike}}, but not {{BTD6 mk|Very Shreddy}}.

When they expire, by running out of [[pierce]], after 5 minutes, after 5 [[round]]s, or before a [[Boss Bloon]] starts spawning (whichever comes first), they spawn a storm of 10 spike piles that each last for 9 to 11 seconds at random and can carry over one round.

The mines, explosions, and spike piles all benefit from {{BTD6 mk|One More Spike}}, but not {{BTD6 mk|Very Shreddy}}.

This attack has the same [[targeting option]]s as [[Smart Spikes (BTD6)|Smart Spikes]], except ordered Normal, Set Target, Automatic, and Close instead of Normal, Close, Smart, Set Target, and Automatic.

Each land mine explodes on contact with the first Bloon, after 6 minutes and 40 seconds, or after 5 rounds, whichever comes first. It generates an explosion and spawns three spikes (resembling [[Deadly Spikes (BTD6)|Deadly Spikes]]) that each last for up to 5 minutes or 5 rounds.

Mega Munitions is one of the strongest Paragons if allowed to stockpile enough mines, though somewhat more map-dependent than [[Goliath Doomship]] due to reliance on placement. The main strength comes from the mines, which last many rounds, in addition to well-timed Spikeageddon abilities. The carpet can clear many weakened bloons without trouble. It is the best option for Timed Boss Events, as a stockpile can do immense damage in a very short time. Versus Bosses, its worst matchups are [[Vortex (BTD6)|Vortex]] and [[Phayze]], particularly the former which deletes stockpiles consistently, while its best matchup is [[Bloonarius (BTD6)|Bloonarius]].

Line 71:

To set up maximum stockpiles, build it in advance so it has time to pile up spikes and charge the Spikeageddon ability. For Boss Events, buy it on Round 96 for T4, and Round 117 for T5. Use the Set Target priority to focus the mines on a specific region, as the other targeting priorities aren't as effective for stockpiling.

In Freeplay, this Paragon should be placed at the back, as a full spike pile can tank even some of the fortified BADs of later rounds. However, the main strength comes from the Spikeageddon ability, which can turn the tide of rounds that would otherwise be very difficult to pass.

However, the main strength comes from the Spikeageddon ability, which can turn the tide of rounds that would otherwise be very difficult to pass. With all of the possible buffs on long maps such as [[Logs]], it is one of the highest DPS towers in the entire game, not including percentage damage such as [[Ascended Shadow]].

*Before the Mega Massive Munitions Factory was revealed, the update notes for {{BTD6 version|46.0}} contained a joke change saying "xx6 Alwaysspike doesn't exist".<ref>{{cite|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/btd6/comments/1hau4dn/bloons_td_6_v460_update_notes/|title=Bloons TD 6 v46.0 - Update Notes!|publisher=Reddit|retrieved=29 mar 2025}}</ref>

*Internally, before Version 52.0, the main attack's explosions are supposed to deal +480 damage to [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s, but due to an error, it only applies this to Bloons with the ID <code>MOAB</code>, which does nothing (MOAB-Class Bloons have the tag <code>Moabs</code> and the [[MOAB (BTD6)|MOAB]] has the ID <code>Moab</code>, both with different capitalization). This amount was buffed in {{BTD6 version|50.0}} from +140 to +240 and again in {{BTD6 version|51.0}} to +480, even though it ~~continues~~ to do nothing. This has now been patched.
