Long Reach
|
 Increases range for spike pile drops, plus piles last longer.
|
| Tower | Spike Factory — Path 3 — Tier 1 | |
|---|---|---|
| XP cost | 120 | |
| Cash cost | $130 — Easy $150 — Medium $160 — Hard $180 — Impoppable | |
Long Reach is the Spike Factory's path 3 tier 1 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It increases the Spike Factory's range by 8 distance units and doubles the lifespan of its spike piles, though it doesn't prevent them from disappearing at the end of each round. It also doubles the lifespan of the spikes from Spike Storm's and Carpet of Spikes's abilities. Crosspathing with Spiked Mines increases the blast radius of its explosions by ~33% and crosspathing with Super Mines increases the radius of its main and mini-explosions by the same degree.

[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.

Since launch xx2 has never brought enough to the table as a crosspath. Working into the long life trend of the bottom path we felt that introducing longer life at a ‘cross-pathable stage’ may work in some new niche.

Projectile lifespan increased ― 70s → 100s - Note: X-X-3 unaffected
- 0-4-1, 0-5-1
- Ability: Projectile lifespan with Long Reach increased ― 9s–11s → 15s–16.5s (50% longer)

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.

Overall cost increased by $200 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)- Base spike factory rate increased ― 2.2s → 1.75s
- 0-1-1
- Rate reduced ― 1.32s → 1.4s
- 0-2-1
- Rate increased ― 0.99s → 0.98s
“
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.

- 4-0-1
- Explosion: Radius increased ― 30 → 40
- 5-0-1
- Large explosion: Radius increased ― 100 → 133
- Small explosion: Blast radius increased ― 30 → 40
- Spike Factory no longer can shotgun spikes for exactly one frame after spawning (bug fix)
- 0-4-1, 0-5-1
- Ability: Long Reach increases the lifespan of spike piles further ― +50% → +100%
- With X-4-X crosspath: 15s–16.5s → 18s–22s (due to this change stacking with a nerf to the non-crosspathed lifespan)
- With X-5-X crosspath: 27s–33s → 36s–44s
