Artillery Battery is a solid mid-game tower, with the blasts easily wiping out Bloons, dealing decent blimp damage and wiping out all bloons with Bombardment active. It retains power into the late-game, being a good cleanup tower against Ceramics and wiping out large clumps of low-tier blimps with Bombardment. It is especially optimal on maps with good loops, such as [[Moon Landing (BTD6)|Moon Landing]] and [[Dark Path]], and can save up for a large variety of late-game towers, including its powerful Tier 5, [[Pop and Awe (BTD6)|Pop and Awe]]. Target it on the densest or most dangerous clump of Bloons or blimps for the best effect. [[Striker Jones (BTD6)|Striker Jones]] is the optimal hero thanks to his various buffs to Mortars, in addition to Concussive Shell generating bonus stun damage. | Artillery Battery is a solid mid-game tower, with the blasts easily wiping out Bloons, dealing decent blimp damage and wiping out all bloons with Bombardment active.
