Super Glue

Glue so strong it temporarily immobilizes all affected Bloons!

Tower	Glue Gunner — Path 3 — Tier 5

← Relentless Glue

Super Glue is the Glue Gunner's path 3 tier 5 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It improves Glue Gunner's glue effect, completely stopping non-MOAB-Class Bloons 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 BFBs and 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, and with Glue Splatter each splatter has 10 pierce. 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.

Strategy

This section was last updated for: version 52.2

Super Glue's ability to stun BFBs and ZOMGs makes it much more versatile, unlike Relentless Glue, which is limited to supporting against MOABs and DDTs. Compared to its competitor, 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. Unlike Icicle Impale, Sauda and Pop and Awe synergize well with Super Glue, as these towers deal massive damage to Bloons and blimps that are stunned.

Super Glue works the best on maps with one lane per round or lanes that all intersect, such as Workshop or Midnight Mansion, where the popped splats can have their pierce maximized. However, it is still usable on other maps.

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.

Version 4.0

•  Overall cost increased by $700 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)

Version 8.0

•  Upgrade cost reduced ― $40,000 → $35,000
•  Now deals 50 damage to MOAB-Class Bloons on impact
•  Slow effect for MOAB-Class reduced ― 100% → 90%

Version 9.0

0-2-5

•  Should correctly stun all regular Bloons (bug fix)

Version 10.0

•  Pierce increased ― 1 → 6
•  MOAB and DDT speed modifier increased ― -90% → -100%
•  BFB speed modifier increased ― -90% → -95%

Version 22.0

•  Overall cost increased by $200 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)

Version 26.0

“

Super Glue currently fits a role of essentially a weaker Ice Impale that is also much more expensive (and, well, worse). For now the cost has been cut substantially to keep their function and value balanced.
— Update notes

”

•  Upgrade cost reduced ― $35,000 → $28,000
•  Super Glue can now re-target Bloons that is has already Glued after stun expired

Version 30.0

•  Now re-applies to glue to "Slowdown Stuck" bloons (bug fix)
  • Note: This is considered a nerf; it clogs up pierce of the glue that could've went to affecting more bloons.

Version 34.0

•  Overall cost reduced by $50 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)

Version 35.0

“

We were unsure this rework would make it in at all until late and didnt want to mess around too much further before release, so we plan to make further refinements to the numbers in order to bring power properly in line with what we would like - however the long awaited mechanic rework for Relentless & Super Glue is here and we feel it is a promising start. Relentless Glue now brings some AoE stun on layer popping and glue track puddles has been reworked into a dps enhancement for the top path Bloon Solver instead of a hyper niche bottom path stalling bonus (the more ceramics the merrier!).
— Update notes

”

•  Overall cost increased by $160 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
•  On any glued layer popping stuns all stunnable Bloons (including MOAB-class) in the area with a small splat
  • 3 pierce
  • Radius 12
  • 0.5s duration
•  No longer drops any puddles on the track

Version 36.0

“

Our Glue rework last update wasn't quite ready soon enough to go through in depth balancing of how the new mechanics felt before release, but we still wanted to just get them out and see what people thought anyway, so this is mostly just a bit of catch up on that with fixes to crosspathing value.
— Update notes

”

•  Stun AoE: Pierce increased ― 3 → 6
•  Stun AoE: Duration increased ― 0.5s → 1s

0-1-5

•  Stun AoE: Pierce increased ― 3 → 7

0-2-5

•  Stun AoE: Pierce increased ― 3 → 9

Version 41.0

“

Super Glue isn’t a big upgrade to Relentless Glue for the high cost so we're setting it at a different price point to other similar role towers, but also hitting it with a larger full rework of number shuffling, with more of the damage it deals coming from the DoT rather than the initial impact making it easier for DoT to self-trigger glue explosions and act as a buff to the 205 crosspath along with the base pierce of the glue explosions being higher.
— Update notes

”

•  Upgrade cost reduced ― $28,000 → $24,000
  •  Overall cost reduced by $3,800 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
•  DoT: Damage per tick increased ― 1 → 20
•  Main attack: Damage to MOAB-Class reduced ― +50 → +30
•  Pop splat: No longer locked to Relentless Glue stats when not crosspathed
•  Pop splat: Pierce increased ― 6 → 11

2-0-5

•  DoT: Damage per tick increased ― 1 → 21
•  DoT: Damage interval reduced ― 2s → 1.8s

0-1-5

•  Pop splat: Pierce increased ― 6 → 12

0-2-5

•  Pop splat: Pierce increased ― 6 → 15

Version 43.0

•  Overall cost increased by $400 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)

0-2-5

•  On-pop stun blast: Pierce reduced ― 15 → 14 (undocumented)

Version 44.0

•  Overall cost increased by $600 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
•  Eject points moved for most upgrade combinations

Version 48.0

“

[...] We’re trying out a funny crosspathing change for 205 glue to give greater potential for chain reactions to quickly wipe out lower layers.
— Update notes

”

•  DoT: Decreased tick cooldown ― 2.3s → 2.0s

2-0-5

•  DoT: No longer has reduced DoT tick cooldown ― 1.8s → 2.0s
•  On-pop splat: Now additionally deals 1 damage to affected bloons
  • Note: This assists mid-game chain reactions with on-pop splats
•  On-pop splat: Damage is no longer capped at 0 (undocumented)

Version 49.0

“

MOAB Glue’s duration on MOAB-Class Bloons is being reduced as for such a powerful slow it is so easy to keep a high number of targets glued that the Glue Splatter crosspath still doesn’t feel necessary much of the time
— Update notes

”

•  Glue duration on MOAB-Class Bloons decreased ― 24s → 12s

Version 51.0

“

Meanwhile, Corrosive Glue now gains bonus MOAB damage so it can now try to serve as an alternate DPS hybrid.
— Update notes

”

“

MOAB Glue’s always been a bit too clingy & its slow duration against MOABs has been further reduced while lasting longer at higher tiers to keep the base tower in check and give Glue Splatter & higher tiers more purpose in life. [...] Super Glue’s baseline DoT is being replaced with a simple initial hit damage so it also requires the new 205 Crosspath to act as a DPS Hybrid
— Update notes

”

•  Glue duration for MOAB-Class Bloons increased ― 12s → 18s
•  No longer deals damage over time and instead deals 1 Normal-type damage when the glue is applied

2-0-5

•  Now deals +19 bonus damage per tick to MOAB-Class Bloons

Version 54.0

“

Additionally, we're doubling the potency of MOAB Glue’s acid crosspath to provide more niche value on less dense track lanes.
— Update notes

”

2-0-5

•  Damage over time: Bonus damage to MOAB-Class Bloons increased ― +19 → +39
