Extra projectiles improve density of thorns and pair well with crosspaths and external buffs. Since it only affects thorns, this upgrade alone doesn't affect the storm spells of top path, but [[Hard Thorns (BTD6)|Hard Thorns]] decently helps its early-game. Bottom path appreciates from Thorn Swarm more than top crosspath, and doesn't need [[Heart of Oak (BTD6)|Heart of Oak]], unlike top path.
Extra projectiles improve density of thorns and pair well with external buffs and crosspaths. Since it only affects thorns, Thorn Swarm without going for [[Heart of Oak (BTD6)|Heart of Oak]] is meaningless on top path except [[Hard Thorns (BTD6)|Hard Thorns]] which is useful for early-game pierce. Bottom path favors Thorn Swarm, due to its immense attack speed potential.
