Glaives (BTD6): Difference between revisions

'''Glaives''' is the {{B|Boomerang Monkey|BTD6}}'s path 1 tier 2 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It replaces the Boomerang Monkey's boomerangs with glaives, which have increased [[pierce]] (from 8 to 13, a +5 pierce increase) and increased projectile size. When used as a crosspath for {{B|MOAB Press|BTD6}}, the pierce of the heavy knockback kylies is improved by 120 and the kylies' knockback distance is increased by 50%. {{B|MOAB Domination|BTD6}} gains the aforementioned benefits by crosspathing with Glaives, along with +10 pierce and +50% radius to the heavy kylies' explosion.

{{BTD6 stat list by upgrade|Boomerang Monkey|200}}

Glaives serves as a solid early-game with {{BTD6 mk|Recurring 'Rangs}}, which allows its pierce to be maximized. In this case, it can be crosspathed further into 2-0-2 to maximize its power into the latter part of mid-game. Without Recurring 'Rangs, Glaives can still be used to thin out dense early-game rounds, but is unreliable on its own and mainly sees use as a crosspath for higher-tier Boomerang Monkeys.

Glaives is the optimal crosspath for {{B|Bionic Boomerang|BTD6}} and {{B|Turbo Charge|BTD6}}, both of which obtain greatly increased damage output from the increased pierce. {{B|Perma Charge|BTD6}} prefers Glaives when de-[[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Leading]] for {{B|DDT|BTD6}} has been obtained or is also needed for other towers, and Glaives is optimal {{B|MOAB Press|BTD6}} when the map has one entrance per round, maximizing its pierce and knockback. For {{B|Kylie Boomerang|BTD6}} and {{B|MOAB Domination|BTD6}}, Glaives is the sub-optimal crosspath due to both of them benefitting much more from increased attack speed.
