'''Spike Storm''' is the [[Spike Factory (BTD6)|Spike Factory]]'s path 2 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. <section begin="lede" />This upgrade grants the Spike Storm ability ~~— when activated~~ activated, ~~four~~ spike piles are ~~launched at a time, scattering them~~ over all available lanes ~~at a minimum cooldown~~ of every 0.04 seconds for 2 seconds, resulting in up to 204 ~~spikes~~ per ability (208 on every 4th use). Storm spikes are distributed randomly across available lanes and last 9–11 seconds. ~~The~~ spike pile launches ~~are all copies of~~ the ~~same attack, resulting in less~~ uptime ~~from towers~~ that use a shot counter (e.g. [[Berserker Brew (BTD6)|Berserker Brew]]). The ability has a cooldown of 50 seconds.

'''Spike Storm''' is the [[Spike Factory (BTD6)|Spike Factory]]'s path 2 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. <section begin="lede" />This upgrade grants the Spike Storm ability, and does not change the Spike Factory's main attack. When the ability is activated, spike piles are scattered over all available lanes, launching clusters of 4 spike piles every 0.04 seconds for 2 seconds, resulting in up to 204 spike piles per ability (208 on every 4th use). This attack has a minimum cooldown equal to its base cooldown, meaning it does not benefit from any attack speed buffs unless its attack speed is being reduced by something like a [[Jar of Pickles]]. Storm spikes are distributed randomly across available lanes (based on the amount of track area; longer lanes and overlapping areas will get a proportionately larger share of the spikes) and they last 9–11 seconds. Each group of 4 simultaneous spike pile launches is considered 4 separate attacks rather than 1, limiting the uptime of buffs that use a shot counter (e.g. [[Berserker Brew (BTD6)|Berserker Brew]]). The ability has a cooldown of 50 seconds.

Crosspaths affect the Spike Storm ability. Storm spikes gain +5 pierce in the same way as the main spikes when given [[Bigger Stacks (BTD6)|Bigger Stacks]], ~~plus normal~~ [[damage type]] if given [[White Hot Spikes (BTD6)|White Hot Spikes]]. With [[Long Reach (BTD6)|Long Reach]], storm spikes last +100% longer (18–22 seconds), and with [[Smart Spikes (BTD6)|Smart Spikes]] ~~it causes all storm~~ spikes to ~~only target~~ the active lanes of the current round.<section end="lede" />

Crosspaths affect the Spike Storm ability. Storm spikes gain +5 pierce in the same way as the main spikes when given [[Bigger Stacks (BTD6)|Bigger Stacks]], and change from {{BTD6 dt|Sharp}} to {{BTD6 dt|Normal}} [[damage type]] if given [[White Hot Spikes (BTD6)|White Hot Spikes]]. With [[Long Reach (BTD6)|Long Reach]], storm spikes last +100% longer (18–22 seconds), and with [[Smart Spikes (BTD6)|Smart Spikes]] the ability will only send spikes to the active lanes of the current round.<section end="lede" />
