Spiked Balls (BTD6): Difference between revisions
Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) →Strategy: it's more of a summary now. The long explanations are probably best explained to a newer player about why layerskipping is better with spalls, and the mention of crosspath dependency is mostly for CT Least Tiers |

Spiked Balls is a low-cost but flexible method of catching leaks during mid-game while staying relevant against [[Super Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Super Ceramics]] in lategame. Although it can now layer-skip bloons, it still lacks pierce and faces competition with blowbacks such as [[Druid of the Storm (BTD6)|Druid of the Storm]], but has good synergy with [[Berserker Brew (BTD6)|Berserker Brew]], as Spiked Balls attacks slowly enough to maintain both buffs, in addition to pierce buffs equating to stockpiled damage. It remains helpful for catching leaks on difficult maps, such as [[Dark Dungeons]]. | Spiked Balls is a low-cost but flexible method of catching leaks during mid-game while staying relevant against [[Super Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Super Ceramics]] in lategame.

Crosspaths with middle or bottom have distinct use cases. 3-0-2 is more practical on most medium-to-long maps and lanes with intersecting exits, allowing the micro of spikes or focus at specific regions, plus the start-of-round boost. However, 3-2-0 is better on shorter maps, where leaking bloons become common enough that it'll have more overall stockpiled damage. | Crosspaths with middle or bottom have distinct use cases. 3-0-2 is more practical on most medium-to-long maps and lanes with intersecting exits, allowing the micro of spikes or focus at specific regions, plus the start-of-round boost and potentially larger stockpile.
