'''Perma-Spike''' is the [[Spike Factory (BTD6)|Spike Factory]]'s path 3 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. Spike piles are produced ~~much slower,~~ about 3.46x slower (without crosspaths, every 1.75s to 6.06s), but deal 10 damage ~~and~~ pierce ~~up to 50 bloons~~ (85 with 1-0-5), ~~and~~ last up to 300 seconds and carry over up to 3 rounds. Additionally, the 4x start-of-round speed boost now lasts for 10 seconds. Uniquely, ~~the~~ spikes ~~from~~ Perma-Spike are ~~able to~~ save ~~state in game saves~~.

Perma-Spike is an exceptionally effective cleanup tower suitable for many single-exit maps, most notably for [[CHIMPS]] on maps such as [[Glacial Trail]]. [[Berserker Brew (BTD6)|Berserker Brew]], [[Abyssal Warrior]], and [[Jungle Drums (BTD6)|Jungle Drums]] are recommended for relatively inexpensive buffs to maximize its cleanup potential, but especially the [[Acidic Mixture Dip (BTD6)|Acidic Mixture Dip]]'s lead-popping to handle DDTs without 2-0-5 crosspath.

Crosspathing is beneficial to maximize the size of its stockpiles. [[Bigger Stacks (BTD6)|Bigger Stacks]] ~~handle~~ more ~~bloons but is slower to make spikes, while~~ [[Even Faster Production (BTD6)|Even Faster Production]] ~~is slightly better at spikes per second than Bigger Stacks~~ if external buffs are present~~. Both maxed crosspaths~~ are ~~roughly equal without buffs (1-0-5: +70%, 0-2-5: +66%), but the middle crosspaths can replenish spikes faster~~.

Crosspathing is beneficial to maximize the size of its stockpiles. [[Bigger Stacks (BTD6)|Bigger Stacks]] grants about 2% more damage output than [[Even Faster Production (BTD6)|Even Faster Production]] if external buffs are not present, while Even Faster Production usually grants slightly better output they if they are present.
