The Spike Blockade is the Squire / Countess's starting tower.
It has the second highest health of all defenses, only beaten by a 5 DU Physical Beam. Enemies that touch its spikes take a small amount of damage in retaliation.
Usage[]
Spike Blockades are approximately 30% larger than the Apprentice's Magic Blockade and are much more sturdy, but cost triple the amount of Defense Units. They are best placed at high traffic chock points where they protect ranged towers from enemy onslaughts.
On Nightmare and Ascension, Djinn and Sharken are major threats to Spike Blockades, as with all other non-minion walls. Spiders can also cut their durability in half if left unchecked.
In Redux, the Spike Blockade has better health scaling and its enemy aggro radius is 10x bigger.
Stat Scaling[]
- Stats measurements taken in Redux without upgrades or extra buffs.
- All Squire towers have 1.625x more health and attack damage on Nightmare and Ascension.
