'''Spiked Mines''' is the [[Spike Factory (BTD6)|Spike Factory]]'s path 1 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It dispenses spiked mines instead of spiked balls. Each spiked mine has 18 pierce, dealing 2 damage, with +6 [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic]] damage, and +3 [[Fortified Bloon (BTD6)|Fortified]] damage. Upon depletion, the spiked mine explodes over 30 blast radius (40 with [[Long Reach (BTD6)|Long Reach]]). The explosion deals 10 damage to all Bloon types without [[Black Bloon (BTD6)|Black Bloon]] properties, and ignites any non-[[Purple Bloon (BTD6)|Purple]] with a burning damage-over-time effect that inflicts 10 damage every 2 seconds for up to 6 seconds.

Spiked Mines is the Spike Factory's path 1 tier 4 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It dispenses spiked mines instead of spiked balls. Each spiked mine has 18 pierce, dealing 2 damage, with +6 Ceramic damage, and +3 Fortified damage. Upon depletion, the spiked mine explodes over 30 blast radius (40 with Long Reach). The explosion deals 10 damage to all Bloon types without Black Bloon properties, and ignites any non-Purple with a burning damage-over-time effect that inflicts 10 damage every 2 seconds for up to 6 seconds.

Strategy

This strategy section is empty or incomplete.
See the strategy guidelines for more information on how to write strategy sections.

Spiked Mines is a powerful upgrade for tanking large groups of Bloons, and sometimes for general damage via its high-damage napalm. Compared to Spiked Balls, which stands out for protecting each exit, Spiked Mines is more generally efficient on maps with single exits (e.g. Dark Castle) or overlapping lanes (e.g. Quad).

Crosspaths are recommended for Spiked Mines. Middle crosspaths are more generally useful for increased production rate, though the bottom crosspath's benefits are helpful for long-term stockpiles.

Update history

  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $14,000 → $12,000
    • Buff Overall cost reduced by $2,200 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
  • Buff Explosion: Damage increased ― 4 → 5
    • Note: Does not apply to Super Mines
  • Buff Spike: Damage to Ceramics increased ― +2 → +3
  • Buff Explosion: damage increased by 5
  • Buff Base damage of each spike increased ― 1 → 2
[W]e made a couple small tweaks buffing what should be the ‘strength areas’ of a few of the more underperforming high tier Spike upgrades.
— Update notes
  • Buff Explosion: Blast radius increased ― 15 → 19
We quite liked how the lifespan changes for xx1 spikes went previously, though this still wasn’t enough to make the path competitive and increasing this number further wouldn’t have much of an impact since most earlier rounds aren’t long enough. Spiked Balls strats have also felt too strong compared to higher tiers on top path, so touching on all of these issues slightly the base lifespan of spikes has been reduced, ceramic bonus increased on 4xx; and a new bonus added to 5xx.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Base projectile lifespan reduced ― 70s → 50s
    • Note: Long Reach lifespan remains at 100s
Like a few other towers before it, the attack speed crosspath for Spike Factory has outshined the others. We have reworked the lower Spike Factory tiers to distribute this power more evenly while keeping high tier factories at a similar level of power.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Overall cost increased by $200 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
  • Buff Base spike factory rate increased ― 2.2s → 1.75s
4-1-0
  • Nerf Rate reduced ― 1.32s → 1.4s
4-2-0
  • Buff Rate increased ― 0.99s → 0.98s
Spiked Balls are used quite a lot, but we like their overall position right now so they have had only a slight bump up in price, along with a bigger decrease to the price of T4 Spiked Mines.
— Update notes
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $12,000 → $11,000
    • Buff Overall cost reduced by $900 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
Pierce amounts for Spiked Balls and Mines fits their use cases too awkwardly due to super ceramics. Considering the power of Spiked Balls, their pierce has been reduced slightly to add value to the pierce focussed higher tier in addition to a price cut for Spiked Mines.
— Update notes
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $11,000 → $9,500
  • Nerf Pierce reduced ― 17 → 14
Spike Factory 4xx feels it needs a small boost in order to really start feeling worth upgrading to rather than getting multiple T3s in the lategame due to the improved Spiked Mines pierce not being as needed for Super Ceramics.
— Update notes
  • Buff Spiked Mines spikes bonus to fortified increased ― +1 → +3
  • Buff Spiked Mines explosions bonus to fortified increased ― +1 → +3
Spiked Mines explosion radius doesn’t hit too much since it’s almost always centered just in front of the ‘first bloon in a pack’ to hit it in most effective use cases
— Update notes
  • Buff Explosion radius increased ― 19 → 30
Permaspike, while admittedly not often utilized to its max potential, has sat in a dominant high end position for a long time so we are shifting it away from such high pierce into more damage per pierce.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Pierce per spiked ball reduced ― 14 → 12
We’ve heard the feedback, so Spiked Mines get a tweak to get more mines exploding but with less pierce on each, to overall increase quality of life in more frequent use but less wasted pierce. This will help out with some of the problems it has scaling into late game super ceramics.
— Update notes
  • Buff Spike pierce increased ― 12 → 20
  • Nerf Spiked Mines Explosion: pierce reduced ― 40 → 30
    • Note: Super Mines explosion pierce remains at 60
  • Buff DoT: damage increased ― 1 → 10
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.
— Update notes
4-0-1, 4-0-2
  • Buff Explosion: Radius increased ― 30 → 40
  • Nerf Spike Factory no longer can shotgun spikes for exactly one frame after spawning (bug fix)
Small spike pierce reduction for the Spiked Mines as it’s finally coming into a strong spot on its own.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Spike pierce reduced ― 20 → 18
  • Buff Damage over time: Duration increased ― 6.0s → 6.05s (bug fix)
    • Note: This change solved an issue where the final tick of the damage was not being applied
