I define spike as using a resource disproportionately to how you would use it for a normal fight. This lends itself well to potions (because you don't use them every fight), DPs (Warlord as exception), and even black space. That makes backspace spike (a term I would normally avoid for regen fighting), a term for when you use a very large amount of tiles to defeat an enemy (like half the map). Then again, unless you are trying to be very specific, I would just go with regen fighting.

Well well well, then there are 2 trends for the spike definition (I didn't expect to launch a debate there...) :
- The purist's (and developper's) one : a short burst of high damages
- The philosophical one : the disproportional use of resources for a single fight

It might be time to wikify this. At least newcomers will be able to read the many AA reports and annotated play-through.

Well ,exactly. If hoarding is hoarding, and spike is a spike, then how is spike = playing the game? Playing the game is hoarding/stacking/setup + spike. And several other things, ofc.

Well, I have tried to summarize the definitions and debate in the wiki.

At least, new players reading AA reports and annotated play-through will get an idea of other players mean with that term.
