Glaive Ricochet (BTDB2)

"Glaives will bounce from Bloon to Bloon automatically and aggressively."

- In-game Description

Glaive Ricochet is the 3rd upgrade of Path 1 the Boomerang Monkey in Bloons TD Battles 2. It is similar to its BTD6 counterpart except more expensive.

It costs $1500.

Summary
Glaive Ricochet is extremely strong against regular bloons thanks to how much pierce and attack speed it has for its ricocheting boomerangs. It is enough to shred through bloons up to and including the early Spaced White and Spaced Black range, especially with crosspaths. Even early spaced rushes are not difficult to destroy, as spaced rushes aren't even spaced enough such that glaives expire too soon. Each different crosspath has different benefits; 3-2-0 offers faster shredding, while 3-0-2 more reliably shreds higher-tier bloons by gaining extra damage and skipping through layers.

Tips

 * Use crosspaths as appropriate, though 3-0-2 is usually better due to having innate lead-popping and better shredding of higher-tier bloons. 3-2-0 is easier to go for, however, due to 2-1-0 Glaives being a reliable early-game option.
