Tips
This section was last updated for: version 6.2
- Overall, Spike-o-Pult is one of the strongest infinitely scaling Monkeys, but like most of them, Spike-o-Pult is extremely vulnerable to removals like Return to Sender and Shrink, is defenseless against OTK and 0-delay Bloons, and is poor when drawn late.
- To allow its power to scale, let Spike-o-Pult one-shot Bloons. During the early stages of Spike-o-Pult, pop weakened bloons. As its ATK increases, it becomes easier to immediately one-shot with a Spike-o-Pult without needing other Monkeys to help out.
- Initially, Spike-o-Pult starts off weak, but if given enough rounds and ammo to scale its ATK, it will be difficult to stop without using anything that hard counters it.
- Avoid overrelying on a scaled Spike-o-Pult for damage. Most competent decks with a focused wincon will have many ways to neutralize or bypass scaling Monkeys like Spike-o-Pult.
- Giving Spike-o-Pult extra ammo (Temporary Ammo, Try this!, etc.) allows it to pop more Bloons and scale faster.
- The Eternal's health scales slightly faster than Spike-o-Pult's ATK without extra ammo.
