Spike Storm's ability is best used for MOAB-class damage, as it takes advantage of [[MOAB SHREDR (BTD6)|MOAB SHREDR]]'s extra MOAB-class damage. Because of this, Spike Storm is often used for defending against DDTs, BADs, and Boss Bloons. It is not very effective against ordinary bloons.

Because of this, Spike Storm is often used for defending against DDTs, BADs, and Boss Bloons. It is not very effective against ordinary bloons. Versus Bosses, it stands out in Timed Bosses against all except [[Vortex (BTD6)|Vortex]], and tends to be paired with [[Geraldo (BTD6)|Geraldo]]'s [[Rejuv Potion]]s to chain up to 3 abilities per tower, plus [[Lord of the Abyss]] for maximum pierce.

In terms of its damage output, Spike Storm's ability tends to favour maps ~~that are shorter and have fewer lanes~~, which allows the spikes to concentrate in a specific region. Ideally, a map such as [[Blons]] would be a perfect scenario.

In terms of its damage output, Spike Storm's ability tends to favour maps with minimal track coverage, which allows the spikes to concentrate in a specific region. Ideally, a map such as [[Blons]] would be a perfect scenario.

Both top and bottom crosspaths have use cases. 1-4-0 and 2-4-0 crosspaths are preferred in most cases due to essentially doubling its pierce and offering innate DDT popping. However, the 0-4-2 crosspath has a niche on alternating lane maps, preventing storm spikes from landing on inactive lanes.
