Super Mines is the Spike Factory's path 1 tier 5 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. This upgrade dispenses super mines half as quickly (every 3.5 seconds), but the mines deal much more damage and have many more explosions that can pop any Bloon type. Each super mine has 18 pierce, dealing 50 Normal-type damage, +30 Ceramic damage, and +15 Fortified damage. Every time a spike is depleted, a non-burning mini-explosion is produced, dealing 20 damage, with +15 Ceramic damage and +5 Fortified damage, to up to 30 non-Purple Bloon Bloons within 30 radius. If the super mine expires, it generates a huge burning explosion that deals 1,000 Normal-type damage, plus +500 Ceramic and +250 Fortified damage, to up to 60 Bloons within 100 radius (133 with 5-0-1). The burn damage-over-time is increased from 10 damage to 2,500 damage every 2 seconds for up to 6.05 seconds.

Super Mines deals incredible damage fitting its high cost, making it suitable for Boss Events and Freeplay.

We quite liked how the lifespan changes for xx1 spikes went previously, though this still wasn’t enough to make the path competitive and increasing this number further wouldn’t have much of an impact since most earlier rounds aren’t long enough. Spiked Balls strats have also felt too strong compared to higher tiers on top path, so touching on all of these issues slightly the base lifespan of spikes has been reduced, ceramic bonus increased on 4xx; and a new bonus added to 5xx.

Base projectile lifespan reduced ― 70s → 50s - Note: Long Reach lifespan remains at 100s

Like a few other towers before it, the attack speed crosspath for Spike Factory has outshined the others. We have reworked the lower Spike Factory tiers to distribute this power more evenly while keeping high tier factories at a similar level of power.

Super Mines DoT damage is entirely insignificant for the price range of this tower.

Super Mines price is coming down a little to pull it slightly forward into more challenge viability. We also felt like a massive ceramic bonus on Super Mines could both help it annihilate super ceramics, and give it fun niche uses against ceramics in general for challenges and Bosses.

Spiked Balls provides incredibly powerful cleanup in all stages of gameplay, and we like the use here but for a cheap T3 it doesn't drop off enough lategame with the lower pierce requirements there.

- Pierce per spiked ball reduced ― 14 → 12
“
We’ve heard the feedback, so Spiked Mines get a tweak to get more mines exploding but with less pierce on each, to overall increase quality of life in more frequent use but less wasted pierce. This will help out with some of the problems it has scaling into late game super ceramics.

- DoT: Damage per tick increased ― 1,000 → 2,500

Further balance for 401 crosspath, while this does already see some niche use it made sense to include increased explosion radius with the larger tower range.
