| quote 1 = We’re looking to shakeup mortar in a couple small ways this update, along with [[Striker Jones (BTD6)|Striker Jones]] changes noted further on for ‘multi-mortaring’ synergy. From the base level Mortar has far more pierce than should ever be necessary at low rounds but doesn’t hit beefy enough for the low fire rate, so we are trading up some base pierce for damage, instead moving this lost pierce up into crosspath. To reduce the great feeling of loss that some players feel when upgrading to Pop and Awe & losing their Artillery Battery ability, this upgrade is seeing a stat rework that considers Artillery Battery as now always active at T5 instead of pumping up the damage numbers.

 {{BTD6 tower changes|quote 1=Limiting many changes to Ace for now, we feel that it wasn’t nerfed that badly from the bug fix and we also currently want it to stay one of the much higher level price tags. It has been performing incredibly well even as the most expensive paragon, however given it is very cooldown dependent and scaling that cooldown via degrees is going to be much harder now we want to wait and see the impact of the rest of that rework before anything more significant to it.|quote 1 tiers=paragon|version=39.0|tower=Monkey Ace|paragon changes=*{{nerf|Cost per power increased|$25|$38.25/$45/$48.6/$54}}

 {{BTD6 tower changes|quote 1=Wizard was one of the more heavily impacted Paragons losing power from the bug fix, and had a few planned buffs aside from this anyway.
