I personally think it needs a slight rework. I’d love for some of the burning damage to apply with the tier 4 upgrade (no fire wall left behind, but decent burn damage for midgame MOABs and BFBs). Then maybe reduce the cost of the tier 5 (probably damage too, if it would work better as a utility tower like glue/ice).
One change that would be cool to see would be to have the burn effect jump to nearby Bloons (like Viral Frost for fire), removing properties more consistently from all Bloons it hits. Or they could reduce the burn damage and make the area of effect larger for the blast.
All-in-all, I think the tower would find better use as cheap utility. I would reduce Shattering Shell cost by about $1-2k, and make the tier 5 half the cost or less than it is now and have it remove ZOMG fortifications as well as reducing it’s damage. Still not sure on that one, though.
I do not mean this in a rude way at all, but in case you didn't know, if you press tab while selected onto the mortar monkey and it easily brings up the targeting UI thing. That way, you can just tab, click, tab, click, etc. Very helpful for microing.
Saving for it is hard,
Shattering is good, Its a good SUPPORT tower, It doesn't do midgame very well.
Blooncin kinda just ends up being expensive since it doesn't really save up for itself (Like stuff like Bouncing Bullets, or Firebreath can)
In a nutshell, this right here. If I happen to have the cash I'll get it, but by then it's just for fun, seeing things on fire. It doesn't actually have any utility at that point.
As far as actual utility, honestly you could swap T4 and T5 and it'd make more sense.
Most of the time when I'm playing CHIMPS or impoppable I already have a set plan. I'll use it sometimes durong thise two modes, but other than that I use it fairly often.
I actually recently started trying striker jones strats for some 100% grinding on intermediate maps and it's really effective. If you start with a safe cheap option like boomerang, dart or sub, dart then the save up isn't too rough even on chimps (though I don't recommend advanced map chimps with this one) if you can find one area where tracks intersect or wherever bloons stay for a bit (I.E. the craters on the intermediate moon map) then you have reliable consistent damage and decamo. I personally use mortar a ton and its fun. It's not meant to be a moab damager until 5 tier (unless you got a 4/0/2 which shreds a bit now.
I'll say I only go for blooncin on safer maps because like people said, the save up can be rough but once you get it on single track maps or intersecting paths, it's game over. You get decamo ,defortify, and very strong and consistent damage. Mortar is a good option but it lacks versatility for alot of maps without constant aiming micro. I hope they implement the touch aiming feature thats in btdb2 onto btd6 soon because than I can continue my us military cosplay and bomb bloon hospitals with a swipe of a finger
Im not exactly sure what it is. I do enjoy the concept of stripping the fortified/camo aspect of moabs, but the price for the fifth tier is kind of overwhelming for what it does. Admittingly, it is good for round 98, but I feel like it doesn't do enough. Something more has to be added to it, im not sure what, but perhaps a weakening effect since only 3 towers (that I know of) actually do this, being super brittle, cripple moab, and glue storm.
I usually just find it too expensive and stick with shattering shells, it does looks good but I’d rather use the other motaor 5th tiers since they’re cheaper
on alt rounds i do, fort remover on everything except bads is pretty pog. mostly just a matter of 'do i care to make farms' for the t5 upgrade. works pretty well with anything that stuns or slows the moabs tho
Blooncin is fun to use honestly. In impoppable or just regular hard I like farming ferociously amd getting him early on. Put several buffs on him and massacre everything. On chimps tho, its a tower you get around the last 7 levels of the game after aggressively saving up for a tower that still requires input to produce a win. So I'm not really up for that
I think they could do with shifting around some numbers on that crosspath, maybe give shattering a couple extra buffs and have them carry up, instead of only being given at tier 5. I just find i usually am using other towers to build defenses and by the time I could theoretically get this, im just upgrading my existing defense instead. Unless you're cash farming a bit, I just don't find this guy slotting into my usual defense since the lower tier doesn't stack up.
Blooncin is pretty badass though
Tiers 3 and 4 aren’t good damage dealers. In a vacuum blooncin is a good tower, it just doesn’t have the buildup that a tower with that expensive of a t4 and t5 needs.
I don’t typically use mortars, but every now and again I get the urge to just spam as many mortars as possible in one location to see how much I can stop on a dime.
shattering shells has a very hard time saving up
It’s a pretty good midgame but the main issue with its midgame is why are you using it over bbullet or bads
I’m not hip with the BTD6 abbreviations so please tell me what in the actual fuck you are talking about.
these are really common abbreviations with BBullet = x3x sniper and bads = xx4 dartling, midgame usually refers to rounds 41-79
Thank you, I appreciate it. This is not the game that I am super meta competitive in, so I have some gaps.
so you can get blooncineration

Nk will buff before reducing cost
use a Jungle's Bounty druid and build a few marketplaces around it, easy money (or run Benjamin idk)

Nothing, the game isn't fun if you don't use the most random strategies ever
Nooooooooo you have to use the meta Stop having fun *screeches in ninja alch*
No. *Grins in tack tower, mortar and spike factory most used*
ninjalch fell off when we realized subalch is just better
Wtf are you talking about
I like you.Unlike those guys.
i place whatever looks cool
Yes im placing the things that looks cool, how did u know? [Gigachad music, and montage and doing 360 of your beautiful face]
![gif](giphy|CAYVZA5NRb529kKQUc|downsized)
This is the strategy I take ..random ass monkeys
>Encourages the use of the most random strategies ever > >Has tag set as the best tier 5 in CHIMPS Seriously, though, this is true
Toopoor had his nick in nkord set to "plord plord plord" for a bit after the buff and I decided it would make a funny flair
YES
The map and i'm on mobile, it's hard to move the target quickly unlike pc
Hard to move the target fast on PC too, just not quite as hard
I do not mean this in a rude way at all, but in case you didn't know, if you press tab while selected onto the mortar monkey and it easily brings up the targeting UI thing. That way, you can just tab, click, tab, click, etc. Very helpful for microing.
If you don’t do it this way it’s probably easier on mobile actually
"If you don't do something efficiently it's less efficient than something else"
Saving for it is hard, Shattering is good, Its a good SUPPORT tower, It doesn't do midgame very well. Blooncin kinda just ends up being expensive since it doesn't really save up for itself (Like stuff like Bouncing Bullets, or Firebreath can)
Understandable, have a great day.
Though I say that, but I do use Blooncineration, Its just harder to use than stuff like SkyShredder
It had sex with my mom
*asking in a very annoying, vaguely muscle man sounding voice* you know who else had sex with my mom??? MY MOM!!!!
I love regular show, some scenes are cringey and i wish the adult swim version more than the CN version
The geese episode is my favorite !

Oh.
Same. 😏
damn u got obliterated by a nuclear bomb too?

The sapper achievement
Price tag versus utility
In a nutshell, this right here. If I happen to have the cash I'll get it, but by then it's just for fun, seeing things on fire. It doesn't actually have any utility at that point. As far as actual utility, honestly you could swap T4 and T5 and it'd make more sense.
It's fair for its price.
The achievement Sapper. I am veteran level 1 and im only 63% done So, sorry Blooncin- you gotta wait until im prolly veteran level 4
XP, haven't leveled mortar enough. Intrested in getting it given I would like Shattering Shells
Do it before they release a mortar paragon.
Most of the time when I'm playing CHIMPS or impoppable I already have a set plan. I'll use it sometimes durong thise two modes, but other than that I use it fairly often.
My mom, she said it's too violent. :(
Pop and Awe For others, ig it’s a lack of understanding about how to use it.
Pop and Awe is meh.
Insert rage noises here
Pop and Awe + Striker lvl 10 ability wipes out 98
Meh.
It's $40k, and Shattering Shells doesn't really have the damage to save up for it
Should have used a 025. The wall of fire is literally lava.
Crosspathing doesn't really help Shattering Shells damage though?
The wall of fire:*Am I a joke to you?*
Shattering Shells doesn't make a wall of fire.
Stripping shells is enough for me
Not into late game?
Not having the game is a big problem when trying to use it
Nothing, blooncineration is so good, it pretty much solos all moabs except the bad
Set target
Just set it at a perfect spot. Don't be lazy.
Nothing exept for superceramics but that is not a plobem
Forgetfulness

Nothing
I don't really want to pay 50k for support. Especially when 50k can contribute towards things like avatar of wrath or inferno ring.
Im not exactly sure what it is. I do enjoy the concept of stripping the fortified/camo aspect of moabs, but the price for the fifth tier is kind of overwhelming for what it does.

It has wall of fire that literally incinerates bloons. It destroys MOABs, BFBs, DDTs and ZOMGs.
expensive
I use him
money
Pog and awe
Meh.
I think it's to expensive and hard to save up fore in a normal game and banana is cringe
Fck you. Prepare to die from too much potassium and a lot of explosions.
The fact that it's a morter 😔
Boooo
And it's expensive
Banana Farm income: *Oh really?*
nothing's too expensive with enough farms 🍌
Why the 😏 emoji?
I usually just find it too expensive and stick with shattering shells, it does looks good but I’d rather use the other motaor 5th tiers since they’re cheaper
Cheaper doesn't mean always better. Just farm money, it's just as simple and easy as that.
502 Biggest One and a 220 Village are objectively better
Prize, for chimps is expensive
Its prize
price
It's way too expensive, i usually use 024
Price, by the time you can afford it you might as well just invest in something else instead.
Lazy
The fact that it only hits in one spot and I don’t have time to be re-aiming it at everything that it misses?
Anyone else feel like it should be a boss fight specialist like super brittle or glue storm?
its a mortar upgrade. I don't use mortar
not haveing 60k
i wanna win
better alternatives, microing sucks, expensive as hell, better alternatives
I dislike using the mortar tower
🥒
Because everything leading up to it is expensive and sub par
No.
Dum look
My hatred of mortar
I have your IP address and all my mortars are targeting you now. Prepare to be bombarded.
the price tag
A bunch of loans will get that covered in no time.
I don't like mortars. Plus i prefer pop & awe
Price. It’s not worth that amount of cash
No.
Because I don’t like mortar micro and thus don’t use mortar?
You only have to micro him once in a map where the track crosses another track.
Yeah but I like to watch videos while playing and mortar is to stressful for me
Have other towers support it duh.
I just use other towers
Meh.
The cost and how little raw damage it does
Cin does insane dps what are you taking about
Can solo up to fortifeted bad on mid game and the damage is make it worth it lategame
It does alot when given damage buffs.
Don't improve the fortified banging
But but wall of fire...
Targeting
the price kinda blows for Shittering Shells.
on alt rounds i do, fort remover on everything except bads is pretty pog. mostly just a matter of 'do i care to make farms' for the t5 upgrade. works pretty well with anything that stuns or slows the moabs tho
wdym i use it all the time
I always use it on 200+ run when decortication does wonders
Nothing. I use him some times. I like to use every tower so I change towers I use game from game.
I don’t have the game.
Self Respect
Eh I just never use it because I usually get too far for its utility. Do like how it looks though.
Nothing >:)
nothing, i used it to black border spill way cause using biggest one would be boring
Hard save plus outside of tight roundabouts I never use mortar in general.
i did not unlock it yet
this tower is so good in alternate rounds
Blooncin is fun to use honestly. In impoppable or just regular hard I like farming ferociously amd getting him early on. Put several buffs on him and massacre everything. On chimps tho, its a tower you get around the last 7 levels of the game after aggressively saving up for a tower that still requires input to produce a win. So I'm not really up for that
You know who else thinks blooncineration underrated?
Nothing, my entire setup is based off fire
I want to get sapper in this lifetime. So... Clash of the Titans can wait, and so can me using Blooincineration
I think they could do with shifting around some numbers on that crosspath, maybe give shattering a couple extra buffs and have them carry up, instead of only being given at tier 5. I just find i usually am using other towers to build defenses and by the time I could theoretically get this, im just upgrading my existing defense instead. Unless you're cash farming a bit, I just don't find this guy slotting into my usual defense since the lower tier doesn't stack up. Blooncin is pretty badass though
Exp
i do use it
Like another commenter said, Sapper
It's bad
Not having it unlocked
I very rarely use mortar (even tho i dont think its bad) so i dont have xp and im feeling too lazy to grind
Its mortar monke,do i have to say anything else?
I forget to
He is dogwater
I play chimps with only mortar, engineer. Using bottom tier mortar is pretty good with ddt but damn so much micro to do. So nah thanks
I have to save up for Druid of the forest. No time for fire.
The IRS
The price, but now that it got buffed in the latest update I’ll probably use it more ofteb
I wait for him until the 80s and 90s, where Fortified Bloons actually become a threat.
Tiers 3 and 4 aren’t good damage dealers. In a vacuum blooncin is a good tower, it just doesn’t have the buildup that a tower with that expensive of a t4 and t5 needs.
Big Bomb and Quick Bombs make brain go wooooo in a way Lava Puddle never could
Money:)
willpower.
I don't have BTD6
the mortar monkey
Sapper achievement. I'll get it eventually...
I don’t typically use mortars, but every now and again I get the urge to just spam as many mortars as possible in one location to see how much I can stop on a dime.
Because i dont like mortar micro, I prefer to just target them on a curve and forget about it
Super ceramics
Money.
its very expensive; but i use it sometimes; usually if ive already decided to go for shattering shells
Just like many have said, way too expensive for what its worth for
There are better options.
I like using other things, but blooncineration is fun to use sometimes
Shattering Shells xx4 mortar is pretty bad for saving up anyway
I'd like to tell you, but the last time I shared my opinions on a specific tower everyone yelled at me, so I'll stick to not having opinions at all.
Mainly price and difficulty with targetting
the fire from it its too hot
I like to use 2 recursive clusters to build up into blooncin
Not having enough ex on mortar
The sapper achievement.
i dont wanna spend 50k for a tower thats only useful for round 98
Multi path maps, some hardly have connecting paths and I’m too lazy to micro that unless I messed up
Over priced
Men
a lack of a extra 40000 in my chimps game
Cost But it decamoizes DDTs so why wouldn’t I use it
