Glue Strike is the Glue Gunner's path 2 tier 4 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. This upgrade grants Glue Gunner the Glue Strike ability. When activated, this ability glues all Bloons (including MOAB-Class Bloons) on screen, soaking up to five non-blimp layers (all including blimps with Glue Soak) for 11 seconds (24 seconds with Stickier Glue). This ability's glue effect applies a debuff that soaks through all layers (needs Glue Soak for blimp layers), causing affected Bloons to take +2 damage from all damage sources, including damage-over-time effects. It also applies another debuff that causes the immunities of Lead and Frozen Bloons to stop working during the ability, allowing them to be popped by towers that normally cannot damage those Bloon types; this effect soaks through 6 layers.
This ability has a 40 second cooldown and an initial cooldown of 13.333 seconds.

Strategy
[edit | edit source]This section was last updated for: version 55.2
Glue Strike's Bloon debuffs make it an excellent support for towers that attack fast and shoot many projectiles, such as Overdrive and Bloonjitsu. The debuff greatly aids these towers against both hyperdense mid-game rounds and high-tier blimps in the late game, especially the BAD, as well as against Boss Bloons. The de-Lead is helpful for DDTs, shielded Dreadbloon (except Primary immunity), and mid-game rounds with many Leads (such as round 63). However, its instant-use ability struggles against sustained blimps, such as Round 95's DDTs, unless using multiple Glue Strikes.
Having infinite pierce, it has no trouble handling Bloons in Race scenarios besides waiting its initial cooldown. Multiple Glue Strikes are often better than a single Glue Storm, which can be timed evenly across difficult moments instead of having a fixed downtime in the case of the latter upgrade.
A crosspath is always recommended for Glue Strike, giving extra support for specific strategies:
- Glue Soak crosspath specializes against high density rounds by soaking debuffs and glue through all layers, making it better in CHIMPS, particularly rounds 96 and 98. Setups that naturally pop blimps very quickly can destroy them into resulting masses of glued Ceramics that do not require further activated abilities to slow them. Under this circumstance, it is encouraged to destroy blimps all at once instead of hitting few targets at a time.
- Corrosive Glue can be added for self-sufficient mid-game Bloon cleanup, with its best use case being Race gamemodes. Given enough time, the ability can deal up to 15 damage per Bloon alone, enough to heavily damage non-Super Ceramics.
- Stickier Glue improves its uptime, being preferred versus Bosses, which don't care about the soak.
- Stronger Glue is not necessary if only handling MOAB-class, but does benefit its Super Ceramic slowdown.
In time-sensitive situations, buy Glue Strike without crosspaths first before adding crosspaths, so the initial cooldown can begin sooner.
Note that the extra damage debuff can only be applied by using the ability; the Glue Gunner's regular attack is essentially unchanged from Glue Hose. Using the ability will replace regular glue with debuff glue, despite both types being visually identical.

Ability: Now causes Bloons to take +1 damage while glued (same as X-5-X)
“
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.

- Ability: Layers glued/debuffed increased ― 3 → 6

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

With an expensive tier 2 and the T3 breaking the $3k mark Glue Hose doesn’t feel justifiable a lot of the time so base cost is being shifted up to T4.

Glue Gunner has also had a number of price changes aimed at improving the middle path / crosspathing while avoiding improving MOAB Glue. We’ve already found interesting uses for the top path change so keen to hear about your cool use cases.

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: 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.

- Overall cost reduced by $480 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
- Ability: Can no longer debuff Dreadbloon in Primary Immune phase (bug fix)
- 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
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.

[...] 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. [...]

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.

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.
