Spiked Balls (BTD6): Difference between revisions

Spiked Balls is mediocre as a mid or late game cleanup, being preferred as a stepping stone to {{BTD6|Spiked Mines}}, which becomes the mid game carry itself. Before round 81, an unbuffed Spiked Balls is less cost-efficient than a base Spike Factory with {{BTD6|Berserker Brew}}. An Alch-buffed Spiked Balls is still powerful, but the combination will greatly delay saveup into other towers. It's more effective against [[Super Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Super Ceramics]], but is much less pierce-sufficient than similar costing supports, such as [[Juggernaut (BTD6)|Juggernaut]], [[Cryo Cannon (BTD6)|Cryo Cannon]], and [[Bloon Impact (BTD6)|Bloon Impact]]; each Super Ceramic requires 1.5 piles to pop each one, 0.85 with Berserker Brew.

Both crosspaths have their own use cases. 3-2-0 is better on shorter maps and when covering only one lane, while 3-0-2 is more useful for defending multiple or intersecting exits.
