*Like [[MOAB Dominator]] and [[The Big One (BCS)|The Big One]], Glaive Ricochet generally has high damage per turn and is used primarily for dealing large amounts of damage in lategame control. Unlike the other two commonly ran Uniques in control, Glaive Ricochet is worse against single targets than a [[Super Monkey (BCS)|Super Monkey]]. Instead, it shines the most when swarms of bloons are on the screen. | *Like [[MOAB Dominator]] and [[The Big One (BCS)|The Big One]], Glaive Ricochet generally has high damage per turn and is used primarily for dealing large amounts of damage in lategame control.

**Ricochet does 80<!--40*4/2--> damage per turn against one bloon. However, for each bloon on screen, it will deal 20 more damage per turn, dealing upwards of 220 damage per turn <!--80 + (8-1)x20-->without any buff. | **Ricochet does 80<!--40*4/2--> damage per turn against one bloon.

*It's often best to target the first bloon, to maximize damage from behind bloons. However, if the first bloon has much less than 40 HP, targeting the second bloon is better. | *It's often best to target the first bloon, to maximize damage from behind bloons.

*The nature of this attack makes the Ricochet susceptible to Bloons with On Damage effects. Attacking behind the Bloons may help mitigate this. | *The nature of this attack makes the Ricochet susceptible to Bloons with On Damage effects. Attacking behind the Bloons may help mitigate this. | ||
**[[Growth Gas Bloon]] will counter Ricochet's very low individual damage to groups of Bloons. | **[[Growth Gas Bloon]] will counter Ricochet's very low individual damage to groups of Bloons. One Growth Gas Bloon simply neutralizes the Ricochet effect, while two of them makes the situation worse. | ||

**[[Stun Gas Bloon]] is a strong direct counter against Glaive Ricochet if there's no other Bloons behind. Use a board clear or [[Blade Maelstrom (BCS)|Blade Maelstrom]] (its passive is immune to stuns) to get around the stuns. | **[[Stun Gas Bloon]] is a strong direct counter against Glaive Ricochet if there's no other Bloons behind.
