Spike Factory is a decent way to protect exits against stray Bloons, including early [[Camo Bloon (BMC)|Camo Bloon]]s and when delaying [[Golden Egg Scrambler]], but will struggle against large groups. Spike Factory especially excels in [[Monkey vs Monkey]], where spikes do not disappear at the ends of rounds. Do not rely on Spike Factory as the primary defense, as it will fall apart once the Ceramic rushes on as low as Round 6 arrive (Round 4 on [[Monkeys From Space]]); instead, Spike Factories should only be used as secondary defense. Early on, do minimal investment, with one or two 0-0 Spactories and upgrade to T1 upgrades if needed; T2 is too inefficient. | |||
Spike Factory becomes considerably better with MK for both tanking Bloons and dealing MOAB-class damage (with [[MOAB-SHREDR Spikes (BMC)|MOAB-SHREDR Spikes]] and [[Spike Storm (BMC)|Spike Storm]]). After gaining flat pierce MK, multiple base Spike Factories become more efficient against leaks. | |||
Its grouped weaknesses are reduced significantly with both T4 upgrades, though [[Spiked Mines (BMC)|Spiked Mines]] is useless in the multiplatform version. However, [[Spiked Ball Factory (BMC)|Spiked Ball Factory]] remains an effective tank against Bloons when transitioning into the wincon. | |||
