'''Smart Spikes''' ('''Directed Spikes''' prior to {{BTD6 version|14.0}}) is the [[Spike Factory (BTD6)|Spike Factory]]'s path 3 tier 2 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It gains a [[tower buff]] at the start of each [[round]] that quadruples its [[attack speed]] for 3 seconds. If [[crosspath]]ed with [[Spike Storm (BTD6)|Spike Storm]] and [[Carpet of Spikes (BTD6)|Carpet of Spikes]], their abilities will only dispense spikes on paths that currently have Bloons on them, and their abilities will dispense more spikes if they're triggered while the buff is still active. The buff can be absorbed by [[Lych]]. The Spike Factory also gains four new [[targeting]] options in addition to the default random behavior, which is labeled as Normal in the options:

*Close — Dispenses spikes on the nearest section of track within range.

*Smart — Targets whichever track has the Bloons that are closest to reaching the exit (or has Bloons at all), and dispenses spikes on the point closest to the end of that track. If it cannot reach any paths that have Bloons on them, it will dispense spikes on the points closest to the ends of each track within its range, keeping their coverage roughly even.

*Set Target — Dispenses spikes to any location within range, the target point can be selected by clicking the Set Target button on the tower's menu and it can be set outside the track.

*Automatic — Changes behavior depending if there are Bloons in range, if there are, the Spike Factory will target its spikes towards the Bloon that is closest to the exit ("First" targeting). Otherwise it will drop the spikes in the closest point to the front of the track within range, also, if there is more than one track in range, the spikes will be divided in a similar way to the Smart targeting.
