Glue Soak (BTD6): Difference between revisions

'''Glue Soak''' is the [[Glue Gunner (BTD6)|Glue Gunner]]'s path 1 tier 1 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It allows the Glue Gunner's glue to apply to all [[Bloon layer|layers]] of a [[Bloon]] instead of wearing off after popping the top three layers. It also applies to the glue from the [[Glue Strike (BTD6)|Glue Strike]] and [[Glue Storm (BTD6)|Glue Storm]] abilities. Its glue cannot soak through [[MOAB-Class Bloon]] layers, even when it has the ability to target and glue them.

Glue Soak, as a standalone tower, is decent for the early-game, providing strong utility for high-tier Bloons (such as the {{B|Zebra Bloon|BTD6}}s of Round 26 and {{B|Rainbow Bloon|BTD6}}s of Round 35), especially with the 1-1-0 crosspath. However, it is near useless against rounds with smaller Bloons (such as 27 and 36), in addition to falling off on [[Expert]] maps, where it tends to miss its shots.

For crosspathing purposes, Glue Soak is suboptimal. Although {{B|Glue Hose|BTD6}} becomes a decent mid-game support with Glue Soak and {{B|Corrosive Glue|BTD6}}, the greatly improved late-game capability granted by {{B|Stronger Glue|BTD6}} makes the latter the superior crosspath. {{B|Glue Strike|BTD6}} and {{B|Glue Storm|BTD6}} benefit more from increased {{B|Super Ceramic Bloon|BTD6}} slow and glue duration with the bottom crosspath, while {{B|MOAB Glue|BTD6}}, {{B|Relentless Glue|BTD6}}, and {{B|Super Glue|BTD6}} all benefit much more from increased pierce with the middle crosspath, especially due to Glue Soak not soaking through blimp layers.
