 **[[Unstable Concoction (BTD6)|Unstable Concoction]] breaks down blimp groups quickly, and if there's enough stockpiles then it will help more than it would harm.
 **[[The Bloon Solver (BTD6)|The Bloon Solver]] is one of the most effective cleanup options for its cost, so it can be used if other cleanup options are not an option.

+*Pierce buffs are recommended for strategies focusing on Spike Factory. Many pierce buffing options from offensive towers have high pierce themselves that are suitable for cleanup.
-**[[Abyss Dweller]] and above [[Mermonkey (BTD6)|Mermonkey]]s are recommended supports because of both the pierce buff and the group-popping these Mermonkey upgrades provide. [[Abyssal Warrior]] is an effective synergizer for its cost, and [[Lord of the Abyss]] is the best synergizer with [[Carpet of Spikes (BTD6)|Carpet of Spikes]] for its massive pierce boost and great cleanup assistances for cheap.
+**[[Striker Jones (BTD6)|Striker Jones]] is the recommended Hero if focusing on Spike Factories, due to his level 8+ buffs and his other best synergizers being effective against groups.
-**[[Striker Jones (BTD6)|Striker Jones]] level 8+ gives a solid pierce buff, and himself has strong synergies with Bombs and Mortars which do have effective group-popping to break down Bloons.

 *For [[Long Life Spikes (BTD6)|Long Life Spikes]], [[Deadly Spikes (BTD6)|Deadly Spikes]], and [[Perma-Spike (BTD6)|Perma-Spike]], stalling the ends of rounds is important to maximize stockpiles. Avoid adding anything that can anti-stall.
 **[[Horned Owl]] is a cheap but effective Super Ceramic end-of-round staller.

 **[[Benjamin (BTD6)|Benjamin]]'s Syphon Funding synergy with Perma-Spike is one of the few reasons to use him. Beneficial against dense rounds with many ZOMGs and BFBs.
 **[[Ezili (BTD6)|Ezili]]'s MOAB Hex is effective at removing large amounts of RBE. It works well with Perma-Spike when the ability is timed well when blimps approach the spikes.

-*Avoid Heroes that prevent end-of-round stalls, which prevents a few Bloons from surviving to recharge activated abilities and stockpiling of [[Perma-Spike (BTD6)|Perma-Spike]] in particular. For instance, [[Etienne (BTD6)|Etienne]]'s Level 20 Perma-UCAV will always attack anywhere. However, he can allow some cleanup options to reach further with his range buffs.
