As a crosspath, it works well for most crosspaths. For lower tiers, it's specifically helpful for 1-0-2 Spactory as cheap focused tanking of bloons. [[Spiked Balls (BTD6)|Spiked Balls]] and [[Spiked Mines (BTD6)|Spiked Mines]] may prefer this crosspath on longer maps. [[Spike Storm (BTD6)|Spike Storm]] and [[Carpet of Spikes (BTD6)|Carpet of Spikes]] mainly use this crosspath to control ability spike targeting on alternating lanes. Super Mines and MOAB SHREDR tend to prefer their other crosspaths outside of Boss Rush. | As a crosspath, it works well for most crosspaths.

For targeting priorities, all of the new ones have helpful use cases: | |||
* Close: Focusing near the Spike Factory without needing to modify a reticle (unlike Set Target) | |||
* Smart: Allows auto-switching between active lanes to protect far towards the exit(s). | |||
* Set Target: Allows for any specific location in range. Can be placed off the track to specifically hit only MOAB-class, or to micromanage different locations of spikes. | |||
* Automatic: Anti-stalling. | |||
