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.
