Glaives



 is an upgrade for the Boomerang Thrower, which allows the Boomerang Thrower to shoot Glaives instead of Boomerangs. Glaives are capable of popping up to 8 Bloons at a time in Bloons TD 3 and up to 12 Bloons at a time in Bloons TD 4 and Bloons TD 5. It is the Boomerang Thrower's third upgrade in Bloons TD 4 and second upgrade on the first path in Bloons TD 5. In Bloons TD 5, it costs $240 on Easy, $280 on Medium and $300 on Hard.

It dresses identically to the Red Hot 'Rangs upgrade in BTD5. They only differ in color.

Glaives do cause a slight increase in throwing speed.

Trivia

 * In BTD5, the Glaive Thrower used to be able to pop an infinite amount of Bloons. Now it can only pop 12 Bloons.
 * This upgrade makes a cameo in Bloons Super Monkey 2 as the Radar Glaives upgrade.
 * The glaive was an actual weapon invented in medieval Europe, but was actually a bladed pole arm and has no resemblance to Bloons glaives.
 * The glaive in the bloons games is an allusion to the movie Krull, in which the glaive is a telepathically-controlled, 5-bladed throwing weapon that could cut through almost anything.
