Glaive Ricochet is the Boomerang Monkey's path 1 tier 3 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It increases the pierce of its glaives to 15 (45 with 
Extra Bounce), and allows them to bounce from Bloon to Bloon, with a maximum jump distance of 80 units. Additionally, it allows glaives to travel through line-of-sight blockers (though it does not allow Boomerang Monkey to see through them) and it increases projectile speed from 175 to 220.

Glaive Ricochet is a cheap early-game tower with high cleanup potential on single-lane maps, but it falls off greatly against multiple far-apart lanes. Due to its low single-target damage, it is bad against Ceramic Bloons and above. It is an excellent tower for Race Events with its high pierce allowing many round sends, especially with Extra Bounce.
3-0-2 is the optimal crosspath, granting the capability to pop Lead Bloons and skip layers with the higher damage.

| “ | Boomerang’s Ricochet buildup into T4 feels rough compared to many other options that exist nowadays, ignoring obstacles worked out as a strong fix for the T4 so we want to bring that down to the T3 as well along with some other general tweaks to bridge this gap. — Update notes |
