{{Strategy needed|More specifics on when and how to use spike storm}}

Spike Storm is ~~a powerful~~ burst damage to MOAB-class, especially with [[Monkey Knowledge (BMC)|Monkey Knowledge]], being one of the best ways to deal a lot of MOAB-class damage. In [[Contested Territory (BMC)|Contested Territory]], it is one of the many towers that should be placed and supported by buffs.

Spike Storm is effective at dealing burst damage to MOAB-class Bloons.

In the multiplatform version, its capability to hit targets immediately from the spawn location makes it one of the most efficient ways of damaging [[Boss Bloon]]s if it can be afforded. Sell-and-rebuy strategies give the fastest burst of damage and give enough money to sustain it. Once the Boss is out of range of the Boss's hitbox, use a spam Spike Storm strategy supported by 4-1 [[Energy Beacon (BMC)|Energy Beacon]]s plus one Spike Storm that is continuously bought and sold again for the ability, preferrably inside the Boss's hitbox as soon as it's possible again.

Always crosspath with at least [[Bigger Stacks (BTD5)|Bigger Stacks]], as this substantial pierce bonus affects the ability as well. [[White Hot Spikes (BTD5)|White Hot Spikes]] can be added to ensure [[Lead Bloon (BTD5)|Lead Bloon]]s and Frozen Bloons (with Ice-centric strategies) don't block its spikes.

Always crosspath with at least [[Bigger Stacks (~~BMC~~)|Bigger Stacks]], as this substantial pierce bonus affects the ability as well. [[White Hot Spikes (~~BMC~~)|White Hot Spikes]] can be added ~~to pop [[DDT (BMC)|DDT]]s in the Flash version or~~ to ensure [[Lead Bloon (~~BMC~~)|Lead Bloon]]s and Frozen Bloons (with Ice-centric strategies)~~~~ don't block its spikes.
