'''Glue Strike''' is the [[Glue Gunner (BTD6)|Glue Gunner]]'s path 2 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It grants Glue Gunner the Glue Strike [[Activated Ability|ability]]. When activated, this ability glues all Bloons (including [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s) on screen, soaking up to three non-blimp layers (all with 1-4-0) for 11 seconds (24 seconds with 0-4-1). This ability's glue effect applies a debuff that soaks up to 6 layers ~~(all with~~ 1-4-0), causing affected Bloons to take +2 damage from all damage sources (+3 with 2-4-0), including damage-over-time effects. [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead]] and [[Frozen Bloon]]s affected by this debuff ~~may~~ be popped by towers ~~which~~ normally cannot damage those Bloon types.

[[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead]] and [[Frozen Bloon]]s affected by this debuff temporarily lose their immunities, allowing them to be popped by towers that normally cannot damage those Bloon types.

This ability has a 30 second cooldown and an initial cooldown of 10 seconds.

Glue Strike's debuff is an excellent support for towers ~~with low-damage~~ projectiles, such as {{BTD6|Overdrive}} and {{BTD6|Bloonjitsu}}. The debuff greatly aids these towers against both hyperdense mid-game rounds and high-tier blimps in the late game, especially the {{BTD6|BAD}}. ~~Glue Strike~~'~~s ability can also be used~~ to ~~slow down Super Ceramics~~, ~~but its one~~-~~time glue per ability makes it unable to slow many of them at once.~~ The de-Lead is helpful for ~~both~~ mid-game rounds (such as round 63) ~~and {{~~BTD6|~~DDT}}s~~, ~~but cannot affect all DDTs~~ on ~~Round 95 without meticulous stalling~~.

Glue Strike's debuff is an excellent support for towers that attack fast and shoot many projectiles, such as {{BTD6|Overdrive}} and {{BTD6|Bloonjitsu}}. The debuff greatly aids these towers against both hyperdense mid-game rounds and high-tier blimps in the late game, especially the {{BTD6|BAD}}, as well as against [[Boss Bloon]]s. The de-Lead is helpful for {{BTD6|DDT}}s, shielded [[Dreadbloon (BTD6)|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. Glue Strike's ability is still beneficial against non-blimps, excelling in [[Race (BTD6)|Race]] gamemodes with 2-4-0 crosspath, thanks to its infinite pierce and DoT damage quickly popping Bloons even on its own.

~~Glue Strike's debuff also makes it shine against [[Boss Bloon]]s, greatly benefitting Overdrive~~ and ~~other towers with low-damage projectiles. Its ability to glue all Bloons on the screen makes it excel in [[Race Event]]s as well.~~ 0-4-~~2 grants longer glue duration (leading to higher uptime) and superior utility against Super Ceramics~~, ~~and it is preferred when the budget only allows~~ for ~~1 Glue Strike in [[Boss Event]]s~~. 2-4-0 specializes in higher short-term single-target damage (such as in Timed Ranked Bosses), granting +3 damage instead of +2, and it ~~excels~~ in [[~~Race~~ Event]]s, ~~where~~ its ~~damage-over-time quickly performs tremendous damage and makes much-needed money~~. The ~~two~~ crosspaths are on roughly even grounds in [[CHIMPS]] and other regular gamemodes.

Both 2-4-0 and 0-4-1 crosspaths offer extra support, allowing for either a large burst of extra damage or longer-lasting debuffs. 2-4-0 specializes in higher short-term single-target damage (such as in Timed Ranked Bosses), granting +3 damage instead of +2, and for damaging many non-blimp Bloons at once. 0-4-1 grants longer glue duration (leading to higher uptime), is preferred when handling Lead properties, and it is preferred when the budget only allows for 1 Glue Strike in [[Boss Event]]s. [[Stronger Glue (BTD6)|Stronger Glue]] is not necessary if only handling MOAB-class, but does benefit its Super Ceramic slowdown. The top and bottom crosspaths are on roughly even grounds in [[CHIMPS]] and other regular gamemodes.
