Adhesive may not be as useless as most people think. Once slowed, machines:
1. Cannot fly
2. Cannot cloak effectively
3. Cannot charge attack
4. Cannot swim underwater
5. Cannot burrow
6. Cannot cling to walls
That won’t stop or hinder a slaughterspine, any elemental machine or their apex variants
It does stop Stormbirds and Dreadwings from flying
As long as it stops rockbreakers and shellsnappers from burrowing, it’s excellent
Sadly it doesn't stop rockbreakers from burrowing. The strategy guide says that adhesive stops machines from burrowing but that has only been confirmed for burrowers. I can't find any mention on Shellsnappers.
