Spike Storm!: Difference between revisions

==Tips==

*Compared to [[Firestorm (BCS)|Firestorm]], Spike Storm has more charges but less damage, both overall and individually, and is less cost-efficient. However, an important distinction is that it is a reliable counter to [[Red Bloon (BCS)|Red Bloon]] spam (including [[Swarm Red Bloon]]s and [[Red Bloon Storm]]), and it can be equipped on any Hero. Additionally, its 2 charges is more flexible at removing extremely weakened bloons.

**For Player 2, a Spike Storm can counter Player 1's Red Bloon spam on Round 1, which cannot be done with Firestorm without [[Cash Drop (BCS)|Cash Drop]]. It is generally not recommended on the first turn unless the opponent sends 6+ bloons.

*Whether to use one or two Spike Storms against low-tier bloon spam may depend if the opponent may be planning to use a [[Bloon Embiggen]] to OTK you; against aggro players, it may be safer to use both to kill as many bloons as possible if they can afford Bloon Embiggen.

*If expecting a Spike Storm from the opponent, [[Growth Gas Bloon]]s weaken the effect that Spike Storm has because of its low damage per hit. Two Growth Gas will make Spike Storm do very little against swarms.
