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 the Glue Gunner's MOAB-Class damage from +0 to +30, increases its pierce by 5, and grants it a damage-over-time effect which deals 20 damage every 2.3 seconds. It also increases its splatter's pierce from 6 to 11, and allows it to stun BFBs and ZOMGs.

Unlike most Glue Gunners, Super Glue can hit Bloons which are already glued by itself, resetting the glue's effect.

Super Glue's effects
Bloon type Glue effect
Non-MOAB-Class 0x speed
MOAB 0x speed for 5 seconds, then regular slow effect
BFB 0.05x speed for 2.5 seconds, then regular slow effect
ZOMG 0.1x speed for 0.75 seconds, then regular slow effect
DDT 0x speed for 5 seconds, then regular slow effect
BAD and Boss Bloon No effect

Strategy

Super Glue is a powerful support tower, with its splats stunning hordes of Bloons and blimps, granting towers far more time to pop them. Its ability to stun BFBs and ZOMGs with splats makes its supporting capabilities versatile for all rounds, unlike its predecessor, Relentless Glue, whose support is the most useful against DDTs. Compared to its competitor, Icicle Impale, Super Glue deals significantly less damage, but Super Glue makes up for it by being cheaper and having more utility against dense rounds. Super Glue also synergizes better with Sauda and Pop and Awe, as both deal massive damage Bloons and blimps that are stunned, with Super Glue being able to stun targets, unlike Icicle Impale.

Super Glue works the best on maps with one lane per round or lanes that all intersect, such as Workshop and Midnight Mansion, where the splats can have their pierce maximized. However, it is still usable on other maps. 0-2-5 is the far superior crosspath for Super Glue, granting extra pierce to both the main glue and splats while 2-0-5's ability to trigger splats for every subsequent layer of glued small Bloons is only useful for the mid-game, where Super Glue's utility (which is focused on Rounds 81+) is not yet worth it.

  •   Overall cost increased by $700 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
  •   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%
0-2-5
  •   Should correctly stun all regular Bloons (bug fix)
  •   Pierce increased ― 1 → 6
  •   MOAB and DDT speed modifier increased ― -90% → -100%
  •   BFB speed modifier increased ― -90% → -95%
  •   Overall cost increased by $200 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
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
  •   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.
  •   Overall cost reduced by $50 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
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
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
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
  •   Overall cost increased by $400 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
0-2-5
  •   On-pop stun blast: Pierce reduced ― 15 → 14 (undocumented)
  •   Overall cost increased by $600 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
  •   Eject points moved for most upgrade combinations
[...] 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)
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
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
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
