{{BTD6 tower changes|quote=We’re mindful that this has been in place since launch, but still think this change could lead to more balanced crosspath Ninja play for casual and for apex players.

{{BTD6 tower changes|quote=Druid of the Storm is too inconsistent due to placement causing projectiles to intersect the path and spend very little time actually touching Bloons, it is gaining some homing to keep the nados running along the track over the top of Bloons to more consistently utilize their high pierce value.

{{BTD6 tower changes|quote=Further balance for 401 crosspath, while this does already see some niche use it made sense to include increased explosion radius with the larger tower range. A flat pierce increase is added on to middle T5’s base attack to reduce crosspath dependency & improve r100 strength. Finally, we enjoyed the hard hitting nerf to Permaspike’s early game, but admittedly this change didn’t really change much of anything for its endgame power while impacting pre r80 rounds far more, so we’re redoing the nerf into a pure attack speed nerf along with an increased benefit to the start of round rate buff to reduce the necessity in playing slowly with it|version=38.0|tower=Spike Factory|changes 1 tiers=401|changes 1=*{{buff|401 Spiked Mines explosion blast radius|30|40}}|changes 2 tiers=501|changes 2=*{{buff|501 Super Mines large explosion blast radius|100|133}}|changes 3 tiers=X5X|changes 3=*{{buff|x5x Carpet of Spikes main attack gains +5p|note=Also affects its ability}}|changes 4 tiers=XX2,XX3,XX4|changes 4=*{{buff|002 Smart Spikes passive ability duration|2.5s|3s}}|changes 5 tiers=XX5|changes 5=*{{buff|xx5 Permaspike pierce increased|25|50}}
