'''Glue Strike''' is the [[Glue Gunner (BTD6)|Glue Gunner]]'s path 2 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It grants Glue Gunner the Glue Strike [[Activated Ability|ability]]. When activated, this ability glues all Bloons (including [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s) on screen, soaking up to five non-blimp layers (all including blimps with [[Glue Soak (BTD6)|Glue Soak]]) for 11 seconds (24 seconds with [[Stickier Glue (BTD6)|Stickier Glue]]). This ability's glue effect applies a debuff that soaks through all layers (needs Glue Soak for blimp layers) causing affected Bloons to take +2 damage from all damage sources, including damage-over-time effects. It also applies another debuff to [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead]] and [[Frozen Bloon]]s which makes them lose their immunities, allowing them to be popped by towers that normally cannot damage those Bloon types, this effect soaks through 6 layers.

This ability has a 40 second cooldown and an initial cooldown of 13.333 seconds.

Glue Strike's debuff is an excellent support for towers that attack fast and shoot many projectiles, such as {{BTD6|Overdrive}} and {{BTD6|Bloonjitsu}}. The debuff greatly aids these towers against both hyperdense mid-game rounds and high-tier blimps in the late game, especially the {{BTD6|BAD}}, as well as against [[Boss Bloon]]s. The de-Lead is helpful for {{BTD6|DDT}}s, shielded [[Dreadbloon (BTD6)|Dreadbloon]], and mid-game rounds with many Leads (such as round 63). However, its instant-use ability struggles against sustained blimps, such as Round 95's DDTs, unless using multiple Glue Strikes. Glue Strike's ability is still beneficial against non-blimps, excelling in [[Race (BTD6)|Race]] gamemodes with 2-4-0 crosspath, thanks to its infinite pierce and DoT damage quickly popping Bloons even on its own.

Each of its crosspaths offers extra support. 1-4-0 specializes against high density rounds by soaking debuffs through all layers, with 2-4-0 beneficial for self-sufficient mid-game Bloon cleanup. 0-4-1 grants longer glue duration (leading to higher uptime), being preferred when handling Lead properties, increasing uptime on Bosses, as well as when the budget only allows for 1 Glue Strike in [[Boss Event]]s. [[Stronger Glue (BTD6)|Stronger Glue]] is not necessary if only handling MOAB-class, but does benefit its Super Ceramic slowdown. In CHIMPS, the first-path crosspaths are generally preferred over the third-path crosspaths. Note that in time-sensitive situations, buy Glue Strike without crosspaths first before adding crosspaths, so the initial cooldown can begin sooner.
