Bloon Liquefier

Bloon Liquefier makes the acid tick every 0.1 seconds instead of every 0.5, so glued Bloons now take ten hits of damage per second. It also adds acid puddles: whenever a Bloon fully pops while glued, it drops a puddle on the track that deals 4 damage, has 3 pierce and lasts 7.7 seconds. Puddles cannot hit Camo Bloons unless the gunner has camo detection from a support.

When to buy it

Liquefier comes online in the mid-game and handles Ceramics quickly, with both the glue and the puddles doing moderate damage to MOAB-class Bloons. It performs best on maps where the track passes through its range more than once: it can glue a blimp on the first pass, then clean up the Ceramics that spill out on the second.

4-2-0 is the usual build. The middle path glues more Bloons per shot and adds pierce to the puddles, which is worth more than the longer puddle duration you get from 4-0-1 (Stickier Glue lets puddles survive into the next round).

Is it worth it?

It is good mid-game damage for its cost and the natural step to The Bloon Solver, which is where the path really pays off. Do not expect it to handle BFBs and ZOMGs alone.

Frequently asked questions

What crosspath should Bloon Liquefier use?

4-2-0. More pierce on the glue and the puddles beats extra puddle duration in almost every situation.

Can Bloon Liquefier pop Camo Bloons?

The glue can only hit what the Glue Gunner can see, and the acid puddles cannot hit Camo Bloons without camo detection. Add a support like a Village with Radar Scanner if camo is a problem.
