Spike pits are awesome because they can hold Herobrine perfectly still so that you can shoot him with other towers over and over until he dies. The spike pit itself doesn't actually hurt him, but it does hold him still so that you can kill him off with other towers. In my experience, the only easy way to survive Wave 50 in Minecraft Tower Defense 2 is to buy a spike pit shortly before Wave 50, and put a dispenser or two down to shoot onto the same area. When Wave 50 starts, Herobrine will walk in, and you can safely kill him, thanks to our friend the pit trap.

After Wave 50, however, I always sell the spike pit and buy a golden arrow dispenser instead in order to help take down the 10 ghasts that have loads of health that are the enemies of Wave 55. When Wave 60 arrives, I am only able to defeat the six spider jockeys of that level by using lots of snowball and fireball dispensers to slow them down so that they can be injured enough that they'll die before they make it to the end of the path. Otherwise, they have way too much health and are way too fast to kill very easily. I've only made it past Wave 60 once so far.

After that, Wave 61 is just skeletons and zombies, but I lost on that wave, embarassingly. I lost there because by the time you get to Wave 61, even the zombies and skeletons have an absurd amount of health, so it is hard to kill them before they get to the end, and their overwhelming numbers absorb most of the damage without any of them dying. Unfortunately, after Wave 50, the Enderdragon comes in on a semi-random basis and destroys some of the best towers on the map at that point. I think I need to memorize which waves he appears on, and sell my golden arrow dispensers right before he appears. That way, I won't lose that huge investment of 2500 resources for each golden arrow dispenser. Same goes for the spike pits. At least he doesn't destroy ALL of the good towers, he only shoots at one area as he passes over the map. He just usually picks the absolute worst spot to destroy the towers, which is usually where I have a lot of water or lava or a golden arrow dispenser.
