While the extra 2 damage and greater round lifespan are decent bonuses, this upgrade still requires significant stockpiling to be worth its value. However, this upgrade still has great synergy with [[Berserker Brew (BTD6)|Berserker Brew]], though its spike piles are not as good [[Spiked Balls (BTD6)|Spiked Balls]] versus Ceramics, but better versus other bloons and serves as an okay transition to [[Perma-Spike (BTD6)|Perma-Spike]].

The additional round of lifespan is notable on [[Glacial Trail]], as the spikes last long enough rounds to cover the frozen downtime.<!--e.g. r50 place, r59-60 frozen, spike make at r58 still exist on r59-60 bc carry over 2 rounds-->


Crosspathing is recommended to allow Deadly Spikes to maximize its stockpiles. Top-path crosspathing is more efficient without buffs and is capable of tanking Leads, while the speed bonuses from middle-path crosspaths are stronger in presence of buffs. 1-0-4 offers +100% spikes, while the 0-2-4 gives +66% spikes with the extra benefit of faster replenishing of spike piles. Like Long Life Spikes, 0-2-4 stockpiles more than 1-0-4 with at least +3 flat pierce.
