Glaive Ricochet is a great early-game carry but has a big saveup in a similar way to some alternatives such as [[Cluster Bombs (Battles 2)|Cluster Bombs]] or [[Arcane Mastery (Battles 2)|Arcane Mastery]], with a large saveup at only the T3 upgrade. While its pierce is reliable against all early-game rounds before round 10, its ricochets can still be vulnerable to chasing Bloons at the front instead of pushing back along the Bloons. It is a little more expensive than [[Kylie Boomerang (Battles 2)|Kylie Boomerang]] and [[Bionic Boomerang (Battles 2)|Bionic Boomerang]] but has the advantage of being one upgrade away from [[MOAR Glaives (Battles 2)|MOAR Glaives]] which solves most Bloon rushes besides Camo and Ceramics. | Glaive Ricochet is a great early-game carry but has a big saveup in a similar way to some alternatives such as [[Cluster Bombs (Battles 2)|Cluster Bombs]] or [[Arcane Mastery (Battles 2)|Arcane Mastery]], with a large saveup at only the T3 upgrade.

| Tower | Boomerang Monkey — Path 1 — Tier 3 | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | $1,400 | |
Glaive Ricochet is the Boomerang Monkey's path 1 tier 3 upgrade in Bloons TD Battles 2. The Boomerang Monkey throws glaives in a straight line instead of a curve, increases the pierce of its glaives from 10 to 40, and allows them to bounce from Bloon to Bloon, with a maximum jump distance of 62.5 units. If the projectile can't find a target within its jumping distance, it disappears.
