'''Glaive Ricochet''' is the {{B|Boomerang Monkey~~|BTD6~~}}'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).

If the projectile can't find a target within its jumping distance, it disappears. Additionally, each glaive can travel through line-of-sight blockers (though it does not allow Boomerang Monkey to see through them) and its projectile speed increases from 175 to 220.<section end="lede" />

{{BTD6 last updated|49.2|section=y}}Glaive Ricochet ~~is an excellent tower for [[Race Event]]s, due to its high pierce that allows many rounds to be sent at once especially with {{BTD6 mk|Extra Bounce}}. In general gameplay, it~~ is a ~~good~~ early-game tower ~~for its cost thanks to its~~ high cleanup potential on single-lane maps, but falls off greatly ~~on maps with~~ multiple far-apart lanes. ~~It falls apart~~ against {{B|Ceramic Bloon~~|BTD6~~}}s and above ~~due to~~ its ~~low single-target damage~~, ~~so other towers are required to break them open~~. 3-0-2 is the optimal crosspath, granting the ~~ability~~ to pop {{B|Lead Bloon~~|BTD6~~}}s, and the higher damage ~~allows it to skip layers, thus popping more than 3-2-0~~.

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.
