Glue Strike

Glue Strike adds an ability. When activated it glues every Bloon on screen, MOAB-class included, for 11 seconds. Glued Bloons take +2 damage from every source, including damage over time, and lose their Lead and Frozen immunities while the glue lasts, so towers that normally cannot pop them can. The ability has a 40 second cooldown and a shorter initial cooldown of about 13 seconds after purchase. The regular glue attack is unchanged from Glue Hose.

When to buy it

Glue Strike is a support for fast-attacking, many-projectile towers such as Overdrive and Bloonjitsu. The +2 damage is huge for towers that hit often for low damage. Time the ability on:

• Hyperdense mid-game rounds where every hit counts.
• BADs and other high-tier blimps in the late game, and Boss Events.
• DDTs and Lead-heavy rounds like 63, where the de-Lead lets sharp towers hit them.

Pick the crosspath for the job:

• 1-4-0 soaks the glue and debuffs through all layers including blimps, which is the CHIMPS choice for dense rounds like 96 and 98.
• 2-4-0 adds damage over time to every Bloon on screen and is best in Races.
• 0-4-1 or 0-4-2 extends the glue duration, preferred against bosses.

In a hurry, buy Glue Strike without crosspaths first so the initial cooldown starts ticking, then add them.

Is it worth it?

Yes. It is one of the best value supports in the game. Several Glue Strikes timed one after another are often better than a single Glue Storm, because you control when each one fires. It is weaker against long sustained blimp waves like round 95's DDTs unless you own more than one.

Frequently asked questions

Does Glue Strike let other towers pop Lead Bloons?

Yes. While the ability glue is on, Lead and Frozen Bloons lose their immunities, so sharp and ice-blocked towers can damage them.

What crosspath is best for Glue Strike?

1-4-0 for CHIMPS and dense rounds, 2-4-0 for Races, and 0-4-1 or 0-4-2 against bosses.
