Strategy
[edit | edit source]This section was last updated for: version 55.1
Glue Strike's debuff is an excellent support for towers that attack fast and shoot many projectiles, such as Overdrive and Bloonjitsu. The debuff greatly aids these towers against both hyperdense mid-game rounds and high-tier blimps in the late game, especially the BAD, as well as against Boss Bloons. The de-Lead is helpful for DDTs, shielded Dreadbloon, and mid-game rounds with many Leads (such as round 63). However, its instant-use ability struggles against sustained blimps, such as Round 95's DDTs, unless using multiple Glue Strikes. Glue Strike's ability is still beneficial against non-blimps, excelling in Race gamemodes with 2-4-0 crosspath, thanks to its infinite pierce and DoT damage quickly popping Bloons even on its own.
Each of its crosspaths offers extra support. 1-4-0 specializes against high density rounds by soaking debuffs through all layers, with 2-4-0 beneficial for self-sufficient mid-game Bloon cleanup. 0-4-1 grants longer glue duration (leading to higher uptime), being preferred when handling Lead properties, increasing uptime on Bosses, as well as when the budget only allows for 1 Glue Strike in Boss Events. Stronger Glue is not necessary if only handling MOAB-class, but does benefit its Super Ceramic slowdown. In CHIMPS, the first-path crosspaths are generally preferred over the third-path crosspaths. Note that in time-sensitive situations, buy Glue Strike without crosspaths first before adding crosspaths, so the initial cooldown can begin sooner.

Ability: Now causes Bloons to take +1 damage while glued (same as X-5-X)
| “ | Glue Strike currently allows for 240 crosspath to hit MOABs with 042 being more Ceramic focused but losing the Glue Soak from top path hurts against lower layers, so we’ve increased the base amount of layers glued by Strike & Storm so that it won’t expire on non-MOABs so quickly. — Update notes |
” |
- Glue Strike ability: Layers glued increased ― 3 → 6
- Note: Also affects debuff soak
| “ | Since glue gunners can’t work together as we all want them to and we could not bite that off for this update, for now have decided to do more for the top and middle paths themselves.
Glue Strike doesn’t seem to hold up to any other option in a similar role, so we’ve doubled down on its support factor with a new role and are hoping for more synergy to emerge there. |
” |
- Ability: Now causes glued Lead and frozen Bloons to lose their immunities
- Ability: Bonus damage taken while glued increased ― +1 → +2
| “ | With an expensive tier 2 and the T3 breaking the $3k mark Glue Hose doesn’t feel justifiable a lot of the time so base cost is being shifted up to T4. — Update notes |
” |
Upgrade cost increased ― $3,500 → $3,850
- Overall cost reduced by $50 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
| “ | Glue Gunner has also had a number of price changes aimed at improving the middle path / crosspathing while avoiding improving MOAB Glue. We’ve already found interesting uses for the top path change so keen to hear about your cool use cases. — Update notes |
” |
- Upgrade cost reduced ― $3,850 → $3,450
- Overall cost reduced by $950 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
| “ | Glue Strike for the longest time has had crosspath that only technically grants separate intended use cases, this choice though felt too niche and janky so that crosspath requirement is being completely reworked to allow the ability to hit MOABs regardless of crosspath. Glue Strike will instead work around the standard glue crosspathing benefits of more layers or longer duration. — Update notes |
” |
- Ability: Now can now hit MOAB-Class Bloons without needing Corrosive Glue
- Ability: Layers glued decreased ― 6 → 3
- Note: Does not affect debuff layer soak, which remains 6
- 1-4-0, 2-4-0
- Ability: Layers glued increased ― 3 → Infinite
| “ | Glue Storm is fantastic now however buildup tiers into it feel they serve little point at all, we're shifting price out of Glue Soak into MOAB Glue and from Glue Hose into Glue Strike so these weaker upgrades can come by sooner. — Update notes |
” |
- Upgrade cost increased ― $3,450 → $3,850
- Overall cost reduced by $200 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
| “ | Glue Splatter stands out as weirdly expensive for T2, and is rarely even needed so we’re significantly cutting its price to bring it down to a more affordable range with less pierce, we hope this should make it more worth considering for splatter coverage over piercing. — Update notes |
” |
- Overall cost reduced by $480 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
- Ability: Can no longer debuff Dreadbloon in Primary Immune phase (bug fix)
- Splatter: Pierce bonus reduced ― +4 → +3
- Note: Total pierce reduced from 6 to 5; the initial impact can glue exactly 1 bloon, and the old pierce from x-1-x is treated as 2 to the splatter
Eject points moved for most upgrade combinations
| “ | As it only increases attack speed and Glue Splatter already hits the majority of targets with no trouble this leaves Glue Hose not feeling that compelling, as this path becomes the full map glue anyway we felt we could improve tower range along this path as well. — Update notes |
” |
- Range increased ― 46 → 58
| “ | a small price shuffling to make Glue Hose more favourable on the journey up to Glue Strike. — Update notes |
” |
- Upgrade cost increased ― $3,850 → $4,000
- Overall cost is unchanged (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
| “ | [...] There’s currently little reason to take top crosspath for middle glue gunners due to Stickier Glue working for the debuffing effects on this path, so Corrosive Glue will now increase the damage taken debuff for a shorter but more powerful burst of damage. [...] — Update notes |
” |
- 2-4-0
- Ability debuff: bonus damage debuff increased ― +2 → +3
- Note: Also affects the DoT on glued bloons
- Glue splat: No longer affects Boss Bloons (undocumented)
- Main attack: Can no longer target Boss Bloons, projectiles also cannot hit them (undocumented)
- Note: Includes all crosspaths, except 2-X-X Corrosive Glue
| “ | Glue Gunner's 240 crosspath has merely shifted the crosspath balance problem instead of truly solving it. To make things more intuitive, Glue Soak crosspath will now grant this ability the much requested persistence through MOAB layers. — Update notes |
” |
- 2-4-0
- Ability: Glue now soaks through MOAB-Class layers
- Ability: Bonus damage debuff reduced ― +3 → +2
- Ability: Glue damage debuff now soaks through all layers (bug)
- Note: This change was only intended for the 1-4-0 crosspath, but now affects all of them
| “ | With the 240 crosspath now providing MOAB Layer soaking, Glue Strike’s base ability will last through more layers before wearing off, but with a slower cooldown to match the T5 which already sits at a 40s cooldown. — Update notes |
” |
- Ability: Number of Bloon layers affected by glue slowdown increased ― 3 → 5
- Note: Other effects of the ability glue unchanged (damage debuff is ∞ layers and immunity debuff is 6 layers). 1-4-0 crosspath and further upgrades unchanged (∞ layers)
- Ability: Cooldown increased ― 30s → 40s
- Note: X-5-X unchanged (40s). Glue Storm's initial cooldown when bought decreased from 23.3333s to 13.3333s.
