I find more use out of his 1st star power fertilizer than his second. Makes him able to be more aggressive in almost any scenario, not just with one off tanks. You push more knowing that you can put it down and just heal yourself, like when you need to score a goal in brawl or protecting the safe in heist. I’ve chained so many supers doing that it’s crazy.

[@BrenYT]

as stated in the video, fertilize is only good in very specific situations. curveball is 100% the better star power 99% of the time

Hi,what is the best gadget gears and star power for spike in your opinion

[@BrenYT]

sticky spikes and shield

[@SeltsamTom]

Should i buy hypercharge for spike or save for a new one?

[@BrenYT]

there's better hypercharges in the game, i could probably recommend a better hypercharge for you

[@SeltsamTom]

Ok thanks

[@serge93]

tysm for this guide its amazing i managed to push spike rank 27 in solo showdown so i was mainly using curve ball cactus gadget and mythic plus shield as u recommended my biggest issue was edgars or any really aggresive brawler also like mortis if i had more power cubes id obliterate them if i didnt id get obliterated should i switch to popping pincushion instead {am going for r30}

i’d recommend hot zone or gem grab. mostly because his super will be solid for area control and you can get a lot of value out of it

don't buy legendaries, you'll eventually unlock most of them via credits (although at the end of the day it's your game, play it however you want)

I have a question, so let’s say I was playing heist, should I change my star power to fertilize so that I can just stand right next to the vault and heal, or would the curve one,I forgot what it was called, be better

[@ARUNPURI-v7k]

Also with his gears I’m using shield and health because of his low amount of health, if I should change it, what should I get rid of, the health or shield?

[@ARUNPURI-v7k]

I’m sorry I have so many question, but what about in solo showdown and stuff with very minimal people, shouldn’t I use popping pincushion

[@BrenYT]

1. running fertilize in heist can be useful especially when combined with popping pincushion 2. you should using sticky spikes. get rid of health gear, he doesn’t have a lot of health so you won’t get a lot of value from health gear. 3. don’t use popping pincushion in solo showdown. you need curveball to chip away at the enemies from a distance

You kinda talked a lot and I think first star power better because the healing is insane, if you want to hit more shots aim better don’t sacrifice massive healing. This didn’t help me much and was too long

[@BrenYT]

i think you should consider watching the video again and changing your mentality because fertilize is never the right star power to be using for curveball. it’s way easier to hit your shots and keep on pestering the enemies with curveball which will ultimately get you more kills and win you more games. not a good sign when somebody says that fertilize is better than curveball and then says the video wasn’t helpful
