'''Glue Storm''' is the [[Glue Gunner (BTD6)|Glue Gunner]]'s path 2 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It improves the [[Glue Strike (BTD6)|Glue Strike]] ability to glue all Bloons on screen every second for 20 seconds, instead of only applying once. The rate at which Bloons are glued by the ability is affected by buffs such as [[Jungle Drums (BTD6)|Jungle Drums]]. Glue from the ability lasts twice as long as glue from the main attack. This upgrade increases the Glue Gunner's [[Ability Cooldown|ability cooldown]] from 30 seconds to 40 seconds and adds 10 seconds to the ability's current cooldown.

 

* [[Glue Soak (BTD6)|Glue Soak]] — debuff soaks through infinite layers.

 

* [[Stickier Glue (BTD6)|Stickier Glue]] — glue from ability lasts for 48 seconds instead of 22.

Glue Storm is a powerful supporting tower, being the most useful past Round 80. Its +2 damage buff is now applied consistently as blimps are popped, thus the ability effectively grants +2 damage to all towers on the screen while active, greatly aiding fast-attacking, low-damage towers (such as {{B|Sun Avatar|BTD6}}). The ability's consistent de-[[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead]] capability allows for the complete skip of [[Monkey Intelligence Bureau (BTD6)|MIB]], as the ability is able to de-Lead all {{B|DDT|BTD6}}s. The ability also provides valuable slowdown against Bloons, largely neutralizing their threat.

Glue Storm is also powerful against [[Boss Bloon]]s and in [[Freeplay]], with its ability permanently providing the debuff to all blimps once the ability glue is first applied. In Freeplay, {{B|Primary Expertise|BTD6}} and {{B|Energizer|BTD6}}/[[Nautic Siege Core]] are essential for the ability to have a shorter cooldown and catch newly-spawned {{B|BAD|BTD6}}s more quickly. 2-5-0 is the optimal crosspath for Glue Storm in [[Race Event]]s, but the added initial cooldown greatly harms it and makes selling and rebuying {{B|Glue Strike|BTD6}} a superior strategy. However, 2-5-0 basically has full uptime anyways on singular targets with a permanent +3 damage instead of +2, though transitioning from Glue Strike during the mid-game is tougher. 0-5-2 is not as preferable but still helpful in [[2MPC]], with the extra slowdown against {{B|Super Ceramic Bloon|BTD6}}s as the main bonus.
