- Far targeting no longer causes the game to crash if it cannot reach the track (bug fix)
Now gains a 4× attack speed buff for 2.5 seconds at the start of each round- Name changed ― "Directed Spikes" → "Smart Spikes"
- Description changed ― "Spike Factory gains special targeting priority." → "Spike Factory gains special targeting priority and accelerated production at the start of each round."

Since launch xx2 has never brought enough to the table as a crosspath. Working into the long life trend of the bottom path we felt that introducing longer life at a ‘cross-pathable stage’ may work in some new niche.

Like a few other towers before it, the attack speed crosspath for Spike Factory has outshined the others. We have reworked the lower Spike Factory tiers to distribute this power more evenly while keeping high tier factories at a similar level of power.

Overall cost increased by $200 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)- Base spike factory rate increased ― 2.2s → 1.75s
- 0-1-2
- Rate reduced ― 1.32s → 1.4s
- 0-2-2
- Rate increased ― 0.99s → 0.98s
Smart targeting now places spikes as far back on the track as it can, rather than directly in front of the Bloon closest to leaking (undocumented)
- 0-4-2, 0-5-2
- Now correctly works on splitting tracks (bug fix)

While we feel speed interactions for Spike Storm was a necessary evil for performance related concerns, we did not want to kill off self synergy contained local to the tower, so we are trying out an exception to this rule for the 042 crosspath.

- Ability: Now benefits from Smart Spikes' speed buff

- 0-4-2, 0-5-2
- Smart Spikes start of round buff no longer applies to Spike Storm (undocumented)

Further balance for 401 crosspath, while this does already see some niche use it made sense to include increased explosion radius with the larger tower range.

Spike Storm is now exceptionally strong so the ability cooldown is increasing a small amount along with the T5 cost. This comes along with a crosspath rebalance granting more 042 lifespan.

This update we’ve finally decided to nerf Permaspike by completely removing the ‘Far’ target priority from the earlier Smart Spikes upgrade. We know that this loss will be incredibly painful to deal with for the many spike factory enjoyers out there, so we have also included a couple other minor QoL adjustments to the Smart Spikes upgrade in a hopeful attempt to offset this.
