Line 19:

'''The Bloon Solver''' is the [[Glue Gunner (BTD6)|Glue Gunner]]'s path 1 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It improves the damage-over-time effect of the Glue Gunner's glue, increasing its [[Ceramic damage]] from +3 to +9 and increasing its [[MOAB-Class damage]] from +0 to +4. It also upgrades the acid puddles dropped from affected Bloons after popping, increasing puddle [[damage]] from 4 to 15.

This upgrade increases Glue Gunner's [[pierce]] from 2 to 4, lets it fire 2 globs of glue per shot instead of 1, split angularly by a 10° fixed spread, and reduces its [[Attack ~~Cooldown~~|attack cooldown]] by 50%, doubling its attack speed. It also makes Glue Gunner's glue globs splatter upon impact as if [[Glue Splatter (BTD6)|Glue Splatter]] were purchased instead of going through targets. With the 5-1-0 crosspath, the puddles gain 1 pierce for a total of 4. With the 5-0-1 crosspath, puddles carry over one round and last 9.1 seconds longer.

Solver is also an excellent tower in [[Race Event]]s, with its glue and puddles wiping out extreme clumps of Bloons sent with ease.

On easier maps, place Solver at a spot where Bloons pass by it multiple times, allowing it to glue blimps to the front, damage them, and clean up Bloons near the back. On maps that lack these placements, Solver is best placed near the exit, as it triggers its puddles the most effectively there. 5-2-0 is the optimal crosspath for nearly all cases, as it grants extra pierce to the puddles and allows Solver to glue Bloons more reliably, while synergizing with Harmonic well enough for the BAD. 5-0-2's niche is in [[Boss Event]]s, where its greater synergy with Harmonic shines and deals extreme damage to Bosses.

*Its name and description are a wordplay where "solve" and "solution" mean both "to resolve" and "to dissolve".

*Its ability to create glue puddles on the track were taken from {{BTD6|Relentless Glue}}, which itself was likely inspired by the third upgrade of the [[Glue Supply Depot]].
