MOAB Glue (BTD6): Difference between revisions

'''MOAB Glue''' is the [[Glue Gunner (BTD6)|Glue Gunner]]'s path 3 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. <section begin="lede"/>This upgrade lets the Glue Gunner target [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]] and slow them down for the reduced duration of 9 seconds. MOAB-Class Bloons under the effects of MOAB Glue are slowed to 0.625x speed (0.55x speed with {{BTD6 mk|Aviation Grade Glue}}). [[BAD (BTD6)|BADs]] and [[Boss Bloon|Boss Bloons]] are not slowed by this effect. On other Bloons, the effect is identical to [[Stronger Glue (BTD6)|Stronger Glue]]. Its glue level on all Bloons is increased from 1 to 5 (remain at 2 if crosspath with 2-0-3).<section end="lede"/> With [[Corrosive Glue (BTD6)|Corrosive Glue]], MOAB Glue gains +9 bonus damage per tick to MOAB-Class Bloons.

MOAB Glue is a low-cost and reliable MOAB-class slowdown, giving more time for defenses to handle MOAB-class bloons, and has a solid transition into its successor, [[Relentless Glue (BTD6)|Relentless Glue]]. For this reason, it is a valuable support against MOAB-class Bloons, and a staple for [[CHIMPS]] during Rounds 81-100. [[Strong]] is usually the best targeting option, as slowing down a high-tier blimp effectively slows down all of its children. Pair it with discount Villages and [[Primary Training (BTD6)|Primary Training]], as the upgrade can be discounted and Primary Training increases the glue's low pierce.

Beyond damage towers, most supports synergize with blimp slowdown as well. [[MOAB Press (BTD6)|MOAB Press]] is a staple with MOAB Glue, as glued blimps take much longer to recover from the [[pushback]] of MOAB Press, and both towers benefit from Primary Training. MOAB Glue's slowdown also covers for downtime of other support-based abilities, such as [[Bloon Sabotage (BTD6)|Bloon Sabotage]], as well as giving more time for slower supports to catch up to blimps. For instance, [[Giant Condor]] spends less time flying so it has more time to pick up new targets.

MOAB Glue prefers path 2 crosspaths, as the path 1 crosspaths are useless, even with the improved DoT of [[Corrosive Glue (BTD6)|Corrosive Glue]] versus MOAB-class Bloons. 0-1-3 is a cheap upgrade that doubles its base pierce, and 0-2-3 is often necessary against dense late game rounds due to how often the glue needs to be reapplied.
