}}'''Spike-o-pult''' is the [[Dart Monkey (BTD6)|Dart Monkey]]'s path 1 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It replaces the Dart Monkey's darts with a catapult that launches spiked balls, which deal 2 damage, can pop up to 18 Bloons a shot, can pop frozen Bloons, and has increased [[Projectile size]] and lifetime, but reduces attack speed by ~17.4% and ~~reduces~~ [[projectile speed]]. Additionally, Spike-o-pult gains 4.8 range (15% more range compared to base dart monkey). The spiked balls are able to rebound off obstacles to rehit Bloons for even more damage.

{{BTD6 last updated|49.2|section=yes}}Spike-o-pult is best used on maps with many obstacles, such as [[Cornfield]], where its balls can bounce off walls repeatedly and it is an excellent early-game tower. Spike-o-pult is also an excellent tower for [[Race Event]]s due to its cheap cost and high pierce and damage. When playing on maps with few obstacles outside of races, Spike-o-pult falls behind other early-game options.

3-2-0 is almost always the better crosspath as extra attack speed improves performance in Race Events. 3-0-2 is generally not recommended but is useful for niche placements on [[Dark Dungeons]] and [[Ravine]].
