It's a balance choice. You're choosing between the stronger slow of bottom path or the damage of top path. I don't really see much of a use-case for the middle path outside of keeping it out of range and just using the ability lol.
Chris as a dad of a very medical boy, once a twin, healthy is all you can really ask for. Congrats on your baby, it goes stupidly fast and there are no do overs.
Big congrats on the baby boy! You've never known tired until you have a baby. All-nighters studying in college were child's play compared to going to work for a few months while waking up every couple hours during the night to take care of the kiddo. The first time the baby sleeps through the night is glorious. But anyway, cherish every minute. Mine are both now in their early 20s and it FLEW by.
Bro same. The hospital nurses are a pain in the butt. You’ll be there exhausted and the baby will finally fall asleep, and they’ll walk in loud af and ruin everything just to ask your wife how are you. Like, well we didn’t call for you so…
Glad the baby and your wife are ok. During the birth of my daughter 8 years ago we had a c-section and the Dr. decided to let a resident help with the operation. He ended up slicing through my wifes liver and we ended up having to stay in the hospital for 2 weeks (your videos kept me sane) and she had to wear a catheter for months. Was obviously really upset but apparently you sign your life away before the process and because there was no "measurable permanent damage" we had no legal recourse. Really makes you think about how much trust we put into these people. With AI being able to do homework and pass tests I worry there's going to be a whole generation of Drs, dentists, surgeons etc that aren't as knowledgeable as they should be. Either way congrats on the baby.
The bloon dissolver is now so powerful that if you play on a beginner or intermediate map, you will not need the liquefier before the super ceramics show up. I can most definitely see the meta being bloon dissolver and operation dart storm.
Those thoughts that you had on nurses was so real I'm in hospital right now (16 yo from northern Ireland) because I was recently hit by a speeding car and every time I try to go to sleep it's something new
having free glue gunner, a primary villiage, and another primary tower to help pop moabs (plus a hero) is kinda a good simple combo to have. glue gunner transitions from support -> main damage dealer -> clean up from/to early mid late hame
I've done a lot of testing on Bloon Solver through the last few updates. 502 and 520 perform nearly identically in most situations. But as SJB mentioned, middle crosspath is far superior in tier 2-4. Unless you were just buying glue with all upgrades all at once I wouldn't ever consider bottom crosspath even with the buffs.
but what matter for bottom crosspath is the 501 not 502 even if 502 does slow bloon down more which does help what matter the most is the glue last longer (double the life span actually) and that halve the 5xx damage output (especially TRUE with xx5 mermonkey)
@@fenickungleonza2571 IMO top glue isn't good if bloons don't pass by the tower multiple times (the more the better). If bloons are gonna pass by again, the duration matters very little. If top glue only gets one shot it doesn't feel like a good use case of the tower to me.
@@DrewBoivie what about the xx5 mermonkey part can you argue with that i don't see you argue back to me and don't forget the top path village to help out
@@fenickungleonza2571 Like I mentioned in my first post, bottom crosspath is fine if not very slightly better once you hit 5th tier but sucks so much at 3rd and 4th tier that its prohibitive to go that route (unless you buy bloon solver and all upgrades all at once). Fair point about Mermonkey. If you are building a bottom path one then bottom crosspath glue gets better. That said, the top glue + bottom merm synergy is so powerful that it doesn't matter what crosspath you take for glue. That pair shreds everything until well past round 100.
I just came back to the game after a 2 year break. I was messing around with the glue gunner and was wondering is he had always been so amazing. Didn't even know there was just an update.
The video u put out yesterday i used a 520 glue gunner to get a bb chimps. The 320 and 420 glue are very good mid rounds and once, at round 80 i get a 520 and its very easy. We should get BB chimps while they dont nerf it soon
I’d say just get the bottom path glue gunner with some middle path and you’re pretty set. Ddts aren’t even an issue at that point since the bottom path almost stops them completely.
There are in total 4 hero boosting circles on this map with different buffs. One is even in the water. Ethan Reid made a video about it. I also used that right circle with Obyn and the bonus damage made him really strong.
wouldn't it be interesting if NK introduced, like, Platinum Bloons that are immune to liquid damage, and buffed glue/alchemist/anything that sprays water to compensate?
I sorta copied Chris' homework, and started this run on my own at the 8 minute mark, using his setup. I got to Round 80 on Hard, getting a Perma Spactory just to clean up a mere 13K Pops. Gwen, Moab Press, and Glue Gunner handled the rest. This buff is insane.
Don't worry people. NK has always hated the glue gunner so they will "correct" their "mistake" shortly. They always do. They buff it, then nerf it to worse than it was before the buff. It's exactly how they do.
Whoa, I haven't seen NK go this cray cray since Last April 1st update.

Glue best
Oh, you like shooting sticky substances on stuff? Alright buddy
Bloon Dissolver went from “Oh god please not the pink bloons!” to “Feed me round 63.”
I’ve been a bloon solver main for years and seeing the lower tiers buffed is a really nice touch
Grats on the the kid.
Think the glues should be able to stack, not for speed of balloons but for damage or effects that the glues due.
i think it’s a limitation, glue = glue in the game’s logic
@@joemama-kc7ez no it absolutely can be possible, it's a design choice for some reason
@@alchmage3926 in that case it’s probably a visual clutter issue

Congrats on the baby! No need to hate on the nurses, they prolly wanted to help
Glue gunner supremacy is real, it’s been my max xp tower for a while at 20mil and now I’ll only use it more
Congrats on Ryan👍
I'm so glad they buffed it. Always felt like glue was so bad if you went it, you'd lose rounds because you picked it early game.
I've been using top path glue gunner as long as i've been playing BTD6, this update was a godsend
Glue gunner has always been one of my favorites. The fact that they buffed it makes it even more awesome!
12:34 Oh my titan congrats
Etienne + Glue is now my favourite combo. It carries far, and lets you buy anything you want.
Congrats on the kid SJB
Bloon liquefier has always been an incredibly strong round 63 killer but the fact you can do it with bloon dissolver now is just ridiculous lmao
Just went from a top 5 tower to a top 3 for me

I can definitely confirm, the new glue gunner is awesome! Enjoy it before the inevitable nerf 😢
Wow sjb! that circle to the right of where you put your glue. If you put a hero on it(specifically I used oben) it gave my hero boosts. It's weird.
There are in total 4 hero boosting circles on this map with different buffs. One is even in the water.
Ethan Reid made a video about it.
I also used that right circle with Obyn and the bonus damage made him really strong.
if you put sauda where your village is(with portal going right side), this map becomes incredibly easy, i managed to get a dark champion on chimps
interestingly, you could’ve used the special tile on this map and you wouldn’t even need the village for camo
wouldn't it be interesting if NK introduced, like, Platinum Bloons that are immune to liquid damage, and buffed glue/alchemist/anything that sprays water to compensate?
I appreciate that you told me about your baby before your friends
We violating the geneva convention with this one!

*sells the free glue gunner that gives no benefit to sell and honestly would have been pretty nice to keep for consistent slowdown*
Ryan Mehalic been awfully quiet since this dropped 🤣
I recently had a son as well man. Havent seen your vids in a while but i just got back into btd6. Best wishes to u and ur family ❤️
this path is a reference to the biorifle from unreal
I think one tower chimps with geraldo on this map is possible. The first pillar by the entrance has mib

all this bloon solver (3-0-0) opness and the 2-3-0 (with 0-3-0 being MORE EXPENSIVE then 3-0-0) sucking... man the middle path needs a lot of buffs
I have been waiting for this my whole life. Glue gunner is my favorite tower and he finally got a buff 🙂
Imma be trying to utilize the gg in as many chimps runs as possible, seems super efficient 😊
