'''Glaive Ricochet''' is the ~~[[Boomerang Monkey (~~BTD6)|Boomerang Monkey]]'s path 1 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It increases the [[pierce]] of its glaives to 30 (60 with {{BTD6 mk|Extra Bounce}}), and allows them to bounce from Bloon to Bloon, with a maximum jump distance of 60 units. Additionally, it allows glaives to travel through line-of-sight blockers (though it does not allow Boomerang Monkey to see through them).

'''Glaive Ricochet''' is the {{BTD6|Boomerang Monkey}}'s path 1 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It increases the [[pierce]] of its glaives to 15 (45 with {{BTD6 mk|Extra Bounce}}), and allows them to bounce from Bloon to Bloon, with a maximum jump distance of 80 units. Additionally, it allows glaives to travel through line-of-sight blockers (though it does not allow Boomerang Monkey to see through them) and it increases projectile speed from 175 to 220.

Glaive Ricochet is an excellent tower for [[Race]] ~~due to~~ its high pierce allowing ~~you to send~~ many ~~rounds at once~~. It is ~~not recommended~~ to ~~use this tower against [[Ceramic Bloon (~~BTD6)|~~Ceramic Bloons]]~~ and ~~above due to its slow attack speed~~.

Glaive Ricochet is a cheap early-game tower with high cleanup potential on single-lane maps, but it falls off greatly against multiple far-apart lanes. Due to its low single-target damage, it is bad against {{BTD6|Ceramic Bloon}}s and above. It is an excellent tower for [[Race Event]]s with its high pierce allowing many round sends, especially with {{BTD6 mk|Extra Bounce}}.

3-0-2 is the optimal crosspath, granting the capability to pop {{BTD6|Lead Bloon}}s and skip layers with the higher damage.
