Carpet of Spikes (BTD6): Difference between revisions

Line 32:

Carpet of Spikes is a solid T5 for its high widespread MOAB-class damage. Its main strength is against low density rounds, including most DDT and BAD rounds in CHIMPS, and favors maps with low lane coverage. Against Bosses, Carpet of Spikes is effective choice against Lych and Phayze, as both Bosses lack high density bloons nor tower stuns. It has insane synergy with [[Lord of the Abyss]], which not only clears out plenty of weakened bloons that would otherwise consume the spikes, but also boosts its pierce substantially for essentially more DPS. Other T5's that clear bloon swarms may pair well with Carpet of Spikes, such as [[The Bloon Solver (BTD6)|The Bloon Solver]].

Crosspathing is essential for maximizing its strength~~, though this can be ignored if using Carpet of Spikes for the $50,000 Support category of Temple sacrifices~~. Top ~~crosspaths~~ are recommended despite its already upgraded pierce, because high density rounds are its main weakness, plus better synergy with percentage buffs such as Lord of the Abyss. Bottom crosspath with 0-5-2~~, however,~~ is better on maps with alternating lanes ~~(especially~~ [[Erosion]]~~, which it stands out). Use MIB to counter DDTs when not going for 2-5-0~~.
