Long Reach should never be used as a standalone upgrade without going for Smart Spikes. Its lifespan bonus is its only useful function, which Smart Spikes gets regardless.

[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
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.
— Update notes
  • Buff Long Reach: lifespan increased ― 70s → 100s
    • Note: X-X-3 unaffected
0-4-1, 0-5-1
  • Buff Spike Storm: Lasts 50% longer with Long Reach
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
0-1-1
  • Nerf Rate reduced ― 1.32s → 1.4s
0-2-1
  • Buff 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.
— Update notes
4-0-1
  • Buff Explosion: Radius increased ― 30 → 40
5-0-1
  • Buff Large explosion: Radius increased ― 100 → 133
  • Buff Mini-explosion: blast radius increased ― 30 → 40
  • Nerf Spike Factory no longer can shotgun spikes for exactly one frame after spawning (bug fix)
0-4-1, 0-5-1
  • Buff Ability: Long Reach duration bonus for spikes increased ― 50% → 100%
    • Note: x-4-x spike duration changed from 15s-16.5s to 18s-22s
