'''Super Glue''' is the [[Glue Gunner (BTD6)|Glue Gunner]]'s path 3 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It improves Glue Gunner's glue effect, completely stopping non-[[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s and slowing MOAB-Class Bloons by a much greater amount for a short duration. This upgrade increases the Glue Gunner's [[MOAB-Class damage]] from +0 to +30, increases its [[pierce]] by 5, and does 1 damage to all types it glues. The on-pop splat has its pierce increased from 6 to 11, can stun [[BFB (BTD6)|BFBs]] and [[ZOMG (BTD6)|ZOMGs]], and all stunnable blimps are stunned for 1 second.

It improves Glue Gunner's glue effect, completely stopping non-[[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s and slowing MOAB-Class Bloons by a much greater amount for a short duration. This upgrade increases its [[pierce]] by 5, and after gluing it deals 1 base damage (which is not affected by damage buffs), plus a separate 30 MOAB-class damage DoT that triggers every 0.95 seconds for 1 second that immediately begins damaging when applied, and increases duration of the normal slowdown versus MOAB-class from 12 to 18 seconds. The on-pop splat has its pierce increased from 6 to 11, can stun [[BFB (BTD6)|BFBs]] and [[ZOMG (BTD6)|ZOMGs]], and all stunnable blimps are stunned for 1 second.


Unlike most Glue Gunners, Super Glue can hit Bloons which are already glued by itself, resetting the glue's effect. With middle crosspaths, it gains +1 pierce from [[Bigger Globs (BTD6)|Bigger Globs]], and with [[Glue Splatter (BTD6)|Glue Splatter]] each splatter has 10 pierce. [[Corrosive Glue (BTD6)|Corrosive Glue]] allows all its on-pop splats to benefit from damage buffs and deal 1 base damage, and the corrosion damage increases to 21 plus another +19 to MOAB-Class Bloons.

Super Glue is a powerful support tower, with its splats stunning hordes of Bloons and blimps, granting towers far more time to pop them. Its ability to stun BFBs and ZOMGs with splats makes its supporting capabilities versatile for all rounds, unlike its predecessor, {{BTD6|Relentless Glue}}, whose support is the most useful against DDTs. Compared to its competitor, {{BTD6|Icicle Impale}}, Super Glue deals significantly less damage, but Super Glue makes up for it by being cheaper and having a stronger slow against groups of Bloons, though it lacks pierce without additional towers that can quickly destroy Super Ceramics. Unlike Icicle Impale, {{BTD6|Sauda}} and {{BTD6|Pop and Awe}} synergize well with Super Glue, as these towers deal massive damage to Bloons and blimps that are stunned.

Compared to its competitor, {{BTD6|Icicle Impale}}, Super Glue is cheaper and has a stronger slowing effect, but deals significantly less damage and requires support for the Super Ceramics it lacks pierce for.

Super Glue works the best on maps with one lane per round or lanes that all intersect, such as {{BTD6|Workshop}} and [[Midnight Mansion]], where the splats can have their pierce maximized. However, it is still usable on other maps as a general support.

0-2-5 is typically the better crosspath for Super Glue, granting extra pierce to both the main glue and splats. Since version 51.0, the damage crosspath from 2-0-5 aids mostly in the mid-game with its damaging on-pop splats, while towards the late-game it mostly fulfills as a cheap damaging support that has okay synergy with [[The Final Harmonic]].<!--18*(21+19)/2=360, compared to 24*5/0.1=1200 from 502 solver-->
0-2-5 is the better crosspath for Super Glue in almost all scenarios, allowing it to maximize its support role. 2-0-5 does more damage but not enough to give up pierce, and its synergy with [[The Final Harmonic]] (which only counts the Corrosive Glue DoT) is minor.

==Trivia==
*Prior to {{BTD6 version|31.0}}, its (now removed) damage over time was identical to that of {{BTD6|Corrosive Glue}}.
