Shattering Shells is the Mortar Monkey's path 3 tier 4 upgrade in Bloons TD Battles 2. Before applying a higher-damage burning effect, explosions will remove all Camo and Regrow modifiers, and all Fortified modifiers from up to BFB, and also Lead properties from DDTs. On hit, the main explosion strips Regrow and Fortified properties, unlike Signal Flare's decamo which comes from a separate no-damage explosion.
The burn effect from Shattering Shells now deals 5 damage instead of 1, or 8 damage with 2-0-4 crosspath.

Shattering Shells is frequently used in combos with a sharp-attacking tower to allow DDT-popping, mainly for Dart-Mortar and Tack-Mortar combos. It's not as expensive as buying a whole Blooncineration while still offering Round 26-29 support. Not only this, any Fortified MOAB/BFB rush would be nullified, forcing the opponent to send other types of rushes. The defortify also assists in breaking HP from the children of a Fortified ZOMG, though more cleanup is needed for the insides, as the burn effect is still too slow and clunky.

Now removes Sharp, Shatter, Cold, and Energy immunities from DDTs
- Upgrade cost reduced ― $7,000 → $6,000
| “ | Mortar Monkey has not really been affected by any recent nerfs, still remaining very strong and only seeing a drop in usage due to Etienne offering an exciting alternative. Therefore we think that it’s justified to make some significant nerfs to Mortar’s early game, as it’s been a top tier tower for quite a few updates now. — Update notes |

Pierce reduced ― 40 → 35
| “ | Mortar Monkey still excels in the current meta. We have reduced its blast radius, but increased (and fixed) the buff that Jones and Bones give it so that it remains similarly effective when paired with either of these heroes. — Update notes |
” |
- Blast radius reduced ― 20 units → 18 units
- Decamo AoE: radius reduced ― 50 units → 48 units
- Shattering AoE: radius reduced ― 20 units → 18 units
| “ | The randomness of the Mortar has never been popular and the xx1 upgrade has often felt like a tax to remove RNG than an upgrade in its own right. The new Dynamic Targeting upgrade will hopefully give interesting crosspath options to the other upgrades, allowing the Mortar to easily focus fire on strong MOABs or maximise the impact of stunning by automatically aiming for the densest cluster of bloons. Manual targeting will likely still remain the most consistent option for effects like Signal Flare and Burny Stuff that just want to hit every bloon once. — Update notes |

- Overall cost reduced by $200 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
