I Did NOT Expect The 5-5-5 Spike Factory To Be Like This...

[@_ZeroMaximum_]

Fun Fact: Spike Factory synergies with each and every one of its crosspaths, therefore concludes that it's one of the Most OP Ultimate Crosspathed Tower in the Game.

[@potato-gp9yy]

why spactory 5-5-5 is one of the strongest: 1: has a really great and high dmg upgrade (super mines) 2: due to super mines shooting slowly, it works really well with the carpet of spikes ability to quickly place down these mines 3: bottom path causes the spike to last longer and deal more damage and produce faster at the start of the round, making it deal way more damage these upgrades all synergies together greatly, considering that one of the t5s have a slow firing/high dmg and the other t5 have high firerate, which causes it to be a bit op

[@arcturuslight_]

The best kind of multiplicative synergy. Combining two upgrades that do thousands of damage per shot with the one that does a thousand shots.

[@thejustlexa]

yeah top path is extreme damage, middle path is whole screen coverage with lots of fire rate and bottom path is kind of like building a focused wall of death so they combine together into this one tower it becomes a dps death machine

I’m pretty sure from testing that the spactory is the best 5-5-5 tower. Homeland also goes really well with it as it basically quadruples its dps, as double attack speed and double pierce which for a spactory is damage.

[@btf_flotsam478]

It's pretty obvious it would be; no other tower comes close to having the three paths do different stuff (that actually helps). The only tower that comes close is the Sniper (with absurd firing speed, absurd damage and something resembling pierce), but even then the pierce is limited.

Smart Spikes + Spike Storm is an OP combo (the atk speed boost on round start increase the spikes generated, if you add the bigger stacks or better the spike balls...)

The super mines + carpet of spikes is insanely OP

[@whynot-lv8dt]

A tip for when your game starts lagging really bad, you'll usually actually get through the rounds quicker if you set it to normal speed instead of fast-forward because it lags less. I almost never have my game on fast-forward by the time I get to the late 200s.

[@neosanity]

thanks that's useful

@@getback365 fx is only useful to clearly see what's going on when you have many towers. It doesn't incerase your FPS (even NinjaKiwi said that) because the calculacions are the cause of the lag, not graphic effects

[@jrodd13]

​@@dzikidzikers4082 depends on if you have a dedicated graphics card or not, as multiple paragons and a sun god can light your entire screen with projectiles, it can help out a little on mobile too, but its not much.

[@thehiddenninja3428]

If you look closely after the ZOMG at 12:00, ignoring what looks like a few reds that appeared at the start There are two (2) spikes at the start. They take down an entire BFB and a half. TWO SPIKES.

[@draconicdestruction5352]

each perma even after its various nerfs, can take out around 2 moabs per spike or 2-3 DDTs

[@staticostrich4689]

BTW homeland is weird. Reasons: It gives double pierce, but because a spike pile's pierce just means it's size, it actually quadruples damage even to single target, because it makes spike piles that are twice as large and twice as fast. And, even further now, we have the sentry champion. Because homeland affects everything on screen, not only do the sentries attack faster but the enji also places them faster, and then pierce is doubled too. So, this equals out to a flat 4x damage potential, but then over time is doubled again due to increased sentry production. Pretty cool, right?

[@staticostrich4689]

So you know how super mines spikes make a medium explosion, and then a huge one when done, but when the spikes expire, the small explosions don't go off, only the big one? IMAGINE if the small ones went off in a recursive cluster style on expectation! Like those fireworks that do the BAM and then the fuzzy crispy sound like a second later.

[@chaosmaker2791]

The biggest thing that makes the spike factory strong is its synergy and also the reason for that synergy is it’s attack unlike every other tower it puts its attack on the map so it all gets combined while the other towers shoot projectiles so they rarely get combined so the game just stacks them as if it was a 5-0-0 and a 0-5-0 and a 0-0-5 in one place while some towers can get this combination the does it best

[@Nico_SL312]

I like to imagine it gives a permanent buffs to all towers where they are given a boost of attack speed at the start of the round like the smart spikes upgrade from the bottom path justifying it's place as a support paragon

[@vikavolt11]

It supports other towers by lessening their workload by completing annihilating all of the bloons

the spike factory is OP because the 3 tier 5s are focused at different areas top path: focuses on mainly on explosion dmg and just plain dmg in general however, lacks in production and lasting time middle path: focuses on just production of the spikes however, lacks in dmg and lasting time bottom path: focuses on lasting time (and thus piling more spikes) and a bit on dmg however, lacks in production making a 5-5-5 spike factory basically includes the best attributes of all paths, DMG from top path, production of the middle path and lasting time (and the first larger production of spikes at the start) of the bottom path conclusion: IT WRECKS although a 3-3-3 spike factory is much weaker as it does not as much dmg, much less production as it does not have spike storm and lasting time.
