Spiked Balls (BTD6)

==Strategy==

Spiked Balls is a cost-effective choice for tanking multi-layered bloons and Ceramics. Like most Spike Factories, Spiked Balls is best used near the back to protect exits. Because it constantly produces spike piles that gradually increase the total damage, its stockpiles become much stronger when paired with buffs to damage and pierce. In particular, [[Berserker Brew (BTD6)|Berserker Brew]] and [[Acidic Mixture Dip (BTD6)|Acidic Mixture Dip]] buffs don't wear out quickly on Spiked Balls, so each spike pile essentially becomes 4 damage and 14 pierce versus Ceramics and MOAB-class.

During the mid-game, Spiked Balls is more efficient than lower-tier Spike Factories against bloons with more than one offspring (e.g. [[Rainbow Bloon (BTD6)|Rainbow Bloon]]s), because each spike can skip bloon multiple layers. Spiked Balls is also effective at tanking the insides of a single MOAB, if the stockpile is healthy.
