All of its explosions can damage and affect Black Bloons. The total pierce of each shot is increased from 45 to 100 for all blasts.

With the 4-0-2 crosspath, the Burny Stuff burn damage is increased from 2 to 5. It still burns every 0.625 seconds and lasts up to 1.875 seconds.

  • Buff Overall cost reduced by $350 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
  • Buff Blast: damage increased ― 5 → 7
4-0-2
  • Buff Burny Stuff: damage over time increased ― 3 → 5
  • Buff Burny Stuff: damage over time tick interval decreased ― 1.5s → 0.625s
  • Nerf Burny Stuff: duration decreased ― 3s → 1.875s
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
  • Nerf Pierce reduced ― 85 → 80
    • Note: Does not affect The Biggest One
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
  • Nerf Blast radius reduced ― 58 units → 53.2 units
  • Nerf Shockwave: stun radius reduced ― 29 units → 26.6 units
  • Nerf Shockwave: outer radius reduced ― 87 units → 79.8 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
  • Buff Mortar spread reduced ― 18 → 8
The Big One was feeling overshadowed by Artillery Battery in situations with large amounts of bloons. These pierce buffs should help it shine in these situations.
— Update notes
  • Buff Main explosion: Pierce increased ― 80 → 100
  • Buff Stunwave: Pierce increased ― 85 → 100
  • Buff Shockwave: Pierce increased ― 85 → 100
  • Buff Overall cost reduced by $200 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
