'''White Hot Spikes''' is the [[Spike Factory (BTD6)|Spike Factory]]'s path 1 tier 2 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. ~~It changes the~~ [[damage type]] of newly placed spikes from sharp to normal, allowing them to pop Frozen and [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead Bloon]]s.

Despite ~~the~~ high cost of White Hot Spikes ~~for purely upgrading damage type, this upgrade~~ has practical use cases for countering ~~DDTs~~ and unshielded Dreadbloon (without Support immunities) without needing lead-popping supports. Gaining frozen-popping is niche, ~~though~~ White Hot Spikes ~~does prevent dissynergy~~ with freezing supports such as [[Snowstorm (BTD6)|Snowstorm]]. It's ~~quite expensive~~ as the only lead-popping against early Leads.

Despite its high cost simply changing damage type to pop Frozen and Lead, White Hot Spikes has practical use cases for countering [[DDT (BTD6)|DDT]]s and unshielded [[Dreadbloon (BTD6)|Dreadbloon]] (without Support immunities) without needing lead-popping supports. Gaining frozen-popping is niche, however White Hot Spikes avoids anti-synergy with freezing supports, such as [[Silas (BTD6)|Silas]] and [[Snowstorm (BTD6)|Snowstorm]]. Because of its high cost, it's not advised as the only lead-popping against early Leads or Camo Leads, since other lead-popping options (e.g. [[Alchemist (BTD6)|Alchemist]], 1-2-0 [[Sniper Monkey (BTD6)|Sniper Monkey]]) are cheaper and more efficient.
