Spike Factory is a decent way to protect exits against stray Bloons, especially in [[Monkey vs Monkey]] and when delaying the free boost of [[Golden Egg Scrambler]], but will struggle against large groups. Do not rely on Spike Factory as the primary defense, as it will fall apart once the Ceramic rushes on as low as Round 6 arrive (Round 4 on [[Monkeys From Space]]); instead, Spike Factories should only be used as secondary defense. Early on, do minimal investment, with one or two 0-0 Spactories and upgrade to T1 upgrades if needed; T2 is too inefficient. | Spike Factory is a decent way to protect exits against stray Bloons, especially in [[Monkey vs Monkey]] and when delaying the free boost of [[Golden Egg Scrambler]], but will struggle against large groups.

Spike Factory becomes considerably better with MK for both tanking Bloons and for MOAB-class damage (with [[MOAB SHREDR (BMC)|MOAB SHREDR]] and [[Spike Storm (BMC)|Spike Storm]]). After gaining flat pierce MK, multiple base Spike Factories become more efficient against leaks. | Spike Factory becomes considerably better with MK for both tanking Bloons and for MOAB-class damage (with [[MOAB-SHREDR Spikes (BMC)|MOAB SHREDR Spikes]] and [[Spike Storm (BMC)|Spike Storm]]).

Its grouped weaknesses are reduced significantly with both T4 upgrades, though [[Spiked Mines (BMC)|Spiked Mines]] is useless in the multiplatform version. However, [[Spiked Ball Factory (BMC)|Spiked Ball Factory]] remains an effective tank against Bloons when transitioning into the wincon. | Its grouped weaknesses are reduced significantly with both T4 upgrades, though [[Spiked Mines (BMC)|Spiked Mines]] is useless in the multiplatform version.
