Arcane Spike has relatively weak pierce and damage for its cost, but is fairly accurate with its seeking bolts and is an okay transition to [[Archmage (BTD6)|Archmage]]. Its MOAB-class damage is average for its cost, even with middle-path crosspaths that boost its overall DPS.
Arcane Spike has relatively weak pierce and damage for its cost, but is fairly accurate with its seeking bolts and is an okay transition to [[Archmage (BTD6)|Archmage]]. Its MOAB-class damage is average for its cost, even with middle-path crosspaths that boost its overall DPS. It performs even worse in the mid-game with the {{BTD6 mk|Arcane Impale}} Monkey Knowledge due to layer skipping popping [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic Bloons]] down into large groups of [[Yellow Bloon (BTD6)|Yellow Bloons]]. It is advised to use [[Berserker Brew (BTD6)|Berserker Brew]] in non-CHIMPS games to reduce layer skipping issues and to avoid in in [[CHIMPS]] as it makes layer skipping worse.  


==Costs and sell values==
4-0-2 is better as a standalone tower due to gaining extra pierce but 4-2-0 is better as a stepping stone to Archmage.
