Glue Hose

Glue Hose cuts the attack cooldown from 1 second to 0.34 seconds, so the Glue Gunner fires roughly three times as fast. It also raises range from 46 to 58, which is about 59% more coverage. Combined with Glue Splatter's pierce, it can keep whole waves glued.

When to buy it

Glue Hose is a solid way to slow clumps of Bloons, and the crosspath decides its role:

• 0-3-2 with Stronger Glue is built for the Super Ceramics after round 80. Bloons move at a quarter speed while glued and the glue lasts longer.
• 2-3-0 with Corrosive Glue soaks through layers and adds damage over time, which makes it better in the mid-game.

In practice most players buy it on the way to Glue Strike, so pick the crosspath you want on the tier 4. If you are rushing the ability, buy Glue Hose and Glue Strike first and add crosspaths after, so the ability's initial cooldown starts sooner.

Is it worth it?

As a Ceramic control tower it does its job, but it is rarely the final goal. Its real value is as a stepping stone to Glue Strike, which adds a damage debuff that boosts every tower you own.

Frequently asked questions

What crosspath is best for Glue Hose?

0-3-2 for late-game Super Ceramics, 2-3-0 for mid-game damage. Choose based on the Glue Strike build you plan to buy next.

Can Glue Hose glue MOABs?

Not without Corrosive Glue or MOAB Glue as a crosspath. Corrosive Glue lets it target blimps for damage over time but does not slow them.
