It grants the Spike Storm ability. When the Spike Storm ability is activated, spikes are produced onto all available lanes at a fixed rate of every 0.04 seconds for 2 seconds. Storm spikes are distributed randomly across available lanes. Storm spikes last between 9 to 11 seconds. | ||

Because of this, Spike Storm is often used for defending against DDTs, BADs, and Boss Bloons. It is not very effective against ordinary bloons. | ||
In terms of its damage output, Spike Storm's ability tends to favour maps that are shorter and have fewer lanes, which allows the spikes to concentrate in a specific region.

Both top and bottom crosspaths have use cases. 1-4-0 and 2-4-0 crosspaths are preferred in most cases due to essentially doubling its pierce and offering innate DDT popping. However, the 0-4-2 crosspath has a niche on alternating lane maps, preventing storm spikes from landing on inactive lanes. | Both top and bottom crosspaths have use cases. 1-4-0 and 2-4-0 crosspaths are preferred in most cases due to essentially doubling its pierce and offering innate DDT popping.
