Glue Storm is the Glue Gunner's path 2 tier 5 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It improves the Glue Strike ability to glue all Bloons on screen every second for 20 seconds, instead of only applying once. The rate at which Bloons are glued by the ability is affected by buffs such as Jungle Drums. Glue from the ability lasts twice as long as glue from the main attack. This upgrade increases the ability cooldown from 30 seconds to 40 seconds.

Upgrade cost reduced ― $18,000 → $15,000- Ability: duration increased ― 10s → 15s
- Bloons glued by the ability now take +1 damage from all damage sources
Ability: no longer glues MOAB-Class Bloons unless crosspathed with Corrosive Glue
“
Glue Strike currently allows for 240 crosspath to hit MOABs with 042 being more Ceramic focused but losing the Glue Soak from top path hurts against lower layers, so we’ve increased the base amount of layers glued by Strike & Storm so that it won’t expire on non-MOABs so quickly.

- Glue Storm ability: Layers glued increased ― 3 → 9
- Note: Also affects debuff soak

Since glue gunners can’t work together as we all want them to and we could not bite that off for this update, for now have decided to do more for the top and middle paths themselves.
Glue Strike doesn’t seem to hold up to any other option in a similar role, so we’ve doubled down on its support factor with a new role and are hoping for more synergy to emerge there.

- Ability: Now causes glued Lead and frozen Bloons to lose their immunities
- Ability: Bonus damage taken while glued increased ― +1 → +2
- Overall cost reduced by $50 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
- Overall cost reduced by $950 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
- Ability duration increased ― 15s → 20s
“
Glue Strike for the longest time has had crosspath that only technically grants separate intended use cases, this choice though felt too niche and janky so that crosspath requirement is being completely reworked to allow the ability to hit MOABs regardless of crosspath. Glue Strike will instead work around the standard glue crosspathing benefits of more layers or longer duration.

- Ability: Now can now hit MOAB-Class Bloons without needing Corrosive Glue
- Ability: Layers glued decreased ― 9 → 3
- Note: Does not affect debuff layer soak, which remains 6 (all with 1+-5-0)
- Ability: "Storm" attack cooldown reduced ― 2s → 1s
- 1-5-0, 2-5-0
- Ability: Layers glued increased ― 3 → Infinite

Glue Storm is fantastic now however buildup tiers into it feel they serve little point at all, we're shifting price out of Glue Soak into MOAB Glue and from Glue Hose into Glue Strike so these weaker upgrades can come by sooner.

Glue Splatter stands out as weirdly expensive for T2, and is rarely even needed so we’re significantly cutting its price to bring it down to a more affordable range with less pierce, we hope this should make it more worth considering for splatter coverage over piercing. Now that Glue Storm is extremely good for damage type & debuff support we’re removing the bonus speed reduction that should otherwise require xx2 crosspath and lowering the duration of the Glue Storm.

- Overall cost reduced by $480 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
- Ability: Can no longer debuff Dreadbloon in Primary Immune phase (bug fix)
- Ability: Duration of "Storm" reduced ― 20s → 15s
- Ability glue slow ― 75% → 50%
- Splatter: Pierce bonus reduced ― +4 → +3
- Note: Total pierce reduced from 6 to 5; the initial impact can glue exactly 1 bloon, and the old pierce from x-1-x is treated as 2 to the splatter
- 0-5-2
- Stronger Glue crosspath ability glue slowdown reduced ― 90% → 75%
“
As the 20s active window for Glue Storm was a very important breakpoint for it to hit in the higher rounds; we've restored this duration but instead increased the ability cooldown by a larger amount as more gameplay strategy and synergies can be used to counter long durations.

- Ability: duration increased ― 15s → 20s
- Ability: cooldown increased ― 30s → 40s
- Note: This also means purchasing Glue Storm adds 10 seconds to the current cooldown of Glue Strike's ability when purchased
Eject points moved for most upgrade combinations

As it only increases attack speed and Glue Splatter already hits the majority of targets with no trouble this leaves Glue Hose not feeling that compelling, as this path becomes the full map glue anyway we felt we could improve tower range along this path as well.

- Range increased ― 46 → 58

[...] There’s currently little reason to take top crosspath for middle glue gunners due to Stickier Glue working for the debuffing effects on this path, so Corrosive Glue will now increase the damage taken debuff for a shorter but more powerful burst of damage. [...]

- Ability debuff: bonus damage debuff increased ― +2 → +3

Our previous crosspath buff tipped favour too much in the opposite direction, so Glue Storm’s storm duration and glue duration are being tweaked to keep 052’s total glue uptime the same as before while reducing 250 duration.

- Glue Storm ability: x-5-0 effect duration decreased ― 22s → 11s

- Description changed ― Glue Storm Ability: Pelts the whole screen with glue for 20 seconds. → Glue Storm Ability: Pelts the whole screen with glue for 10 seconds.
- Glue splat: Can no longer collide with Boss Bloons unless crosspathed with 2-X-X Corrosive Glue (undocumented)
- Can no longer target or hit Boss Bloons with the main attack unless upgraded to 2-X-X Corrosive Glue (undocumented)

Glue Gunner's 240 crosspath has merely shifted the crosspath balance problem instead of truly solving it. To make things more intuitive, Glue Soak crosspath will now grant this ability the much requested persistence through MOAB layers.

- Ability: Glue application duration increased ― 10s → 20s
- Note: 0-5-1 unchanged (20s)

- Ability: Bonus damage debuff reduced ― +3 → +2
- Ability: Glue damage debuff now soaks through all layers (bug)
- Note: This change was only intended for the 1-4-0 crosspath, but now affects all of them
“
With the 240 crosspath now providing MOAB Layer soaking, Glue Strike’s base ability will last through more layers before wearing off, but with a slower cooldown to match the T5 which already sits at a 40s cooldown.
