'''Glue Hose''' is the [[Glue Gunner (BTD6)|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 ~~good~~ as ~~its own T3, but also helpful in the transition~~ to [[Glue Strike (BTD6)|Glue Strike]].

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 (BTD6)|Glue Strike]].

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~~.
