it's actually 0.34s attack cooldown, not 0.3333s that 66.67% attack cooldown reduction would assume. Precision is important. Don't suspect that small slipup with cutting wood with the wood-cutting machine would allow the DIY wooden box to fit snuggly if you miss by even just a few millimetres. It gets worse if you do graphics design, where even a few millimetres off by bad measurement precision would mess you over by a lot.

The 0-3-2 Glue Hose is tailored for {{BTD6|Super Ceramic Bloon}}s past Round 80, with 0-3-2's improved Bloon slow and glue duration making it more efficient against Super Ceramics. It serves its role relatively well, but still leaks Ceramics on hyperdense rounds such as 98. Thus, it pairs well with {{BTD6|Arctic Wind}}, with their compounded slow effects preventing Ceramics from leaking.
The 0-3-2 Glue Hose is tailored for {{BTD6|Super Ceramic Bloon}}s past Round 80 because improved Bloon slow and glue duration makes it more efficient against Super Ceramics. 2-3-0 is better in the mid-game because it can soak through layers and deal some additional damage to bloons. Both are fairly effective as ceramic control towers but the tower is only worth using if upgrading into a {{BTD6|Glue Strike}} later, so the crosspath should primarily be chosen based on that instead. Note that in time-sensitive situations it is recommended to buy it uncrosspathed before the T4 and crosspaths, so the initial cooldown can begin sooner.
 
2-3-0 is a mid-game support tower, being able to slow down {{BTD6|Ceramic Bloon}}s significantly while performing minor damage to them. However, 2-3-0's lack of utility for blimps, slow damage-over-time effect, and struggles against dense clumps of lower-tier Bloons mean that it is generally better to obtain a mid-game tower that performs strong raw damage on these Bloons.

Glue Hose is the Glue Gunner's path 2 tier 3 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It reduces the Glue Gunner's attack cooldown by 66% (from 1 second to 0.34 seconds), for an attack speed increase of ~194%, and gives it a range increase from 46 units to 58, for a ~59% increase in coverage area.

Glue Hose is a consistent method of slowing clumps of bloons, and serves two very different roles depending on its crosspath. It's mostly used as a stepping stone to Glue Strike.

The 0-3-2 Glue Hose is tailored for Super Ceramic Bloons past Round 80 because improved Bloon slow and glue duration makes it more efficient against Super Ceramics. 2-3-0 is better in the mid-game because it can soak through layers and deal some additional damage to bloons. Both are fairly effective as ceramic control towers but the tower is only worth using if upgrading into a Glue Strike later, so the crosspath should primarily be chosen based on that instead. Note that in time-sensitive situations it is recommended to buy it uncrosspathed before the T4 and crosspaths, so the initial cooldown can begin sooner.

With an expensive tier 2 and the T3 breaking the $3k mark Glue Hose doesn’t feel justifiable a lot of the time so base cost is being shifted up to T4.
— Update notes
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $3,250 → $2,900
    • Buff Overall cost reduced by $400 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
Glue Gunner has also had a number of price changes aimed at improving the middle path / crosspathing while avoiding improving MOAB Glue. We’ve already found interesting uses for the top path change so keen to hear about your cool use cases.
— Update notes
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $2,900 → $2,500
    • Buff Overall cost reduced by $550 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
Glue Storm is fantastic now however buildup tiers into it feel they serve little point at all, we're shifting price out of Glue Soak into MOAB Glue and from Glue Hose into Glue Strike so these weaker upgrades can come by sooner.
— Update notes
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $2,500 → $2,100
    • Buff Overall cost reduced by $600 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
Glue Splatter stands out as weirdly expensive for T2, and is rarely even needed so we’re significantly cutting its price to bring it down to a more affordable range with less pierce, we hope this should make it more worth considering for splatter coverage over piercing.
— Update notes
  • Buff Overall cost reduced by $480 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
  • Nerf Splatter: Pierce bonus reduced ― +4 → +3
    • Note: Total pierce reduced from 6 to 5; the initial impact can glue exactly 1 bloon, and the old pierce from x-1-x is treated as 2 to the splatter
  • Neutral Eject points moved for most upgrade combinations
As it only increases attack speed and Glue Splatter already hits the majority of targets with no trouble this leaves Glue Hose not feeling that compelling, as this path becomes the full map glue anyway we felt we could improve tower range along this path as well.
— Update notes
  • Buff Range increased ― 46 → 58
  • Change Description changed ― "Shoots glue 3x as fast!" → "Shoots glue 3x as fast and in a wider area!"
a small price shuffling to make Glue Hose more favourable on the journey up to Glue Strike.
— Update notes
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $2,100 → $1,950
  • Glue splat: No longer affects Boss Bloons (undocumented)
  • Main attack: Can no longer target Boss Bloons, projectiles also cannot hit them (undocumented)
    • Note: Includes all crosspaths, except 2-X-X Corrosive Glue
