Spikey Burst is the sixth dart core upgrade in Bloons Super Monkey 2. This weapon replaces the burst of 24 darts with a burst of 16 Spike Balls. These Spike Balls travel much further than the darts from previous upgrades, giving them some ranged capabilities, on top of the spiked balls' greatly increased stats.

It costs 8,600 on Flash and 172,000 on Mobile.

Strategy[]

Spikey Burst is the second best main core weapon in Bloons Super Monkey 2. This is due to its large quantity of projectiles with good stats that also possess good range. The main downside of Spikey Burst is that it competes in the same slot with Solid Doom. Even in the Flash version, where Spike Ball damage is doubled, Solid Doom is equally absurdly strong by possessing nearly triple its Mobile damage, and compensates for Spikey Shots' inability to pop lead consistently, which is also a meta choice. Thus, this upgrade is primarily a stepping stone towards Spikey Chaos, one of the best core epics in both Flash and Mobile.

Differences Between Flash and Mobile[]
