Guide
Spike is a thrower who lobs a cactus that bursts and scatters spikes in all directions. With the spread spikes added in, his area damage is high, making him excellent at zoning enemies bunched in tight spaces or on objectives. His health is on the low side, so the plan is to keep proper distance and pressure with the spike blast radius.
His Super damages enemies in the blast area while also slowing them. It is a strong crowd-control tool that cuts off dives or sets up easy kills for teammates on slowed enemies. Thrown into a narrow corridor, it blocks escape routes to swing a teamfight your way.
Use the Popping Pincushion gadget to create an instant slow zone, while the Fertilize star power, which heals while standing still, raises his laning stability and is a safe pick. Curveball, which curves the throw, is good for wall poke. His area control is especially strong on tight-center Gem Grab and Hot Zone maps.
