Spactories in BMC are no weaker than they are in BTD5, but BMC has larger and more frequent rushes, which is probably the problem here. Try to place them in spots where their spikes can affect MOAB-Class Bloons but not Ceramics and below.

I rarely use Snipers, but I don't think groups of Tier 3 Snipers would be cost effective. Likewise with 2/3 Dart Monkey spam (unless you are at low levels). 2/3 MOAB Maulers work well, and so do Bloonjitsu Ninjas.

As for DDT tiles, you may find need to try to tweak your strategies a few times (adapt!); if they come late in the round, Spike Factories would work well, otherwise Mauler spam around a MIB Village might be more effective. These strategies won't work as effectively for Contested Territory Freeplay DDTs though, as there will be many more DDTs (e.g. 12+ per round).
