MOAB Glue (BTD6)

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 ~~often~~ the ~~optimal~~ targeting option, as ~~higher~~-tier ~~blimps are~~ the ~~hardest to break down~~.

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.

~~Aside from just the basic slowdown of blimps~~, ~~MOAB Glue has some synergies~~ with ~~other supports~~. ~~For instance, MOAB Glue pairs well with~~ [[MOAB Press (BTD6)|MOAB Press]], ~~another fairly low-cost support that knocks back~~ blimps~~; together~~, ~~this synergy pushes blimps much harder than normal~~. MOAB Glue also prevents blimps from traveling far ahead of [[Giant Condor]], reducing Condor's flight distance and allowing it to grab more blimps earlier. ~~Also, being not reliant on~~ activated ~~abilities~~, ~~MOAB Glue covers downtime of~~ [[Bloon Sabotage (BTD6)|Bloon Sabotage]]~~'s slowdown on the less difficult rounds~~.

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 MOAB Press' knockback, and both benefit from Primary Training. MOAB Glue also prevents blimps from traveling far ahead of [[Giant Condor]], reducing Condor's flight distance and allowing it to grab more blimps earlier. Its stall utility also makes it pair well with activated ability towers, such as [[Bloon Sabotage (BTD6)|Bloon Sabotage]], by covering for downtime.

~~The~~ middle crosspath~~, which allows more blimps to be hit at once,~~ is ~~strongly recommended for MOAB Glue~~. 0-1-3 is a cheap ~~crosspath for extra~~ pierce, ~~though~~ 0-2-3 is necessary against ~~multiple blimps~~ due to ~~its short slowdown duration~~. ~~Top crosspaths are~~ useless, ~~and despite~~ the increased ~~MOAB-class DoT it basically does nothing better~~.

MOAB Glue uses the middle crosspath depending on how much pierce is needed. 0-1-3 is a cheap upgrade that doubles pierce, and 0-2-3 is often necessary against dense late game rounds due to how often the glue needs to be reapplied. The top crosspath is useless, even with the increased [[Corrosive Glue (BTD6)|Corrosive Glue]] damage.
