}}'''Spike-o-pult''' is the [[Dart Monkey (BTD6)|Dart Monkey]]'s path 1 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It replaces the Dart Monkey's darts with a catapult that launches spiked balls, which deal 2 damage, can pop up to 18 [[Bloon|Bloons]] a shot, can pop [[Freeze|frozen]] Bloons, and has increased [[Projectile size|projectile size]] (2 to 5) and lifetime (0.25s to 1s), but reduces attack speed by ~17.4% and halves its base [[projectile speed]] (from 300 to 150).

Spike-o-pult is best used on maps with many obstacles, such as [[Cornfield]], where its balls can bounce off walls repeatedly and it is an excellent early-game tower. Spike-o-pult is also an excellent tower for [[Race Event]]s due to its cheap cost and high pierce and damage. Outside of these conditions, it struggles to make use of its high pierce compared to other early-game options with better damage. | Spike-o-pult is best used on maps with many obstacles, such as [[Cornfield]], where its balls can bounce off walls repeatedly and it is an excellent early-game tower.

3-2-0 is much better in Races and does much more damage. 3-0-2 does not have much use by itself unless upgrading to {{BTD6|Juggernaut}}, where it is a useful stepping stone in maps with many walls such as [[Castle Revenge]], [[Dark Dungeons]], and [[Ravine]]. | 3-2-0 is much better in Races and does much more damage. 3-0-2 does not have much use by itself unless upgrading to {{BTD6|Juggernaut}}, where it is a useful stepping stone in maps with many walls such as [[Castle Revenge]], [[Dark Dungeons]], and [[Ravine]]. Its 3-0-2 crosspath is still helpful as a cheap camo detector for round 33 and 36, popping the Camo Yellows and Camo Regrow Greens in two shots. | ||
