'''Shattering Shells''' is the [[Mortar Monkey (BTD6)|Mortar Monkey]]'s path 3 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. ~~Before applying a higher-damage burning effect, explosions will remove~~ all [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo]] and [[Regrow Bloon (BTD6)|Regrow]] [[modifier]]s (including from [[Boss Bloon]]s), and all [[Fortified Bloon (BTD6)|Fortified]] modifiers from up to [[BFB (BTD6)|BFB]] (plus [[DDT (BTD6)|DDT]] with {{BTD6 mk|Paint Stripper}}). ~~On hit, the~~ main explosion strips Regrow and Fortified modifiers, ~~unlike [[Signal Flare (BTD6)|Signal Flare]]'s [[decamo]] which comes from a separate~~ no-damage ~~explosion~~.

Its main explosion strips Regrow and Fortified modifiers, and its secondary no-damage blast strips both Camo and Regrow.

The burn effect from Shattering Shells ~~now deals~~ 5 damage, and gains an additional burn that only targets MOAB-class, dealing 20 damage. This blimp-only burn also affects DDTs. On any non-DDT blimp, it effectively does 25 damage per tick. Both the ordinary burn and blimp-only burn are affected by {{BTD6 mk|Extra Burny Stuff}}.

The burn effect from Shattering Shells is improved to deal 5 damage per tick, and gains an additional burn that only targets MOAB-class, dealing 20 damage per tick. This blimp-only burn also affects DDTs. On any non-DDT blimp, it effectively does 25 damage per tick. Both the ordinary burn and blimp-only burn are affected by {{BTD6 mk|Extra Burny Stuff}}.

Crosspathing with 2-0-4 further increases the burn effect to 8 damage and its blimp-only burn to 25, totalling 33 per tick on any non-DDT.

Line 38:

0-0-4 is usually good enough for de-fortification on single lane per round maps and a crosspath is not needed. If better consistency is needed (e.g. multi-lane maps), middle crosspath's attack speed is preferred over larger blasts (1-0-4), with 0-1-4 usually being enough. Fully crosspathing is only necessary when used for DPS or transitioning into Blooncineration.

Although Shattering Shells is able to strip [[Lych]]'s Regrow, it~~'s expensive~~, ~~but can prove helpful~~ on maps ~~that can't support~~ [[Heart of Oak (BTD6)|Heart of Oak]] ~~Druid~~ or [[~~Grow Blocker~~ (BTD6)|~~Grow Blocker~~]] ~~and don't want to rely on [[Ezili (BTD6)|Ezili]], or if she's unavailable~~.

Although Shattering Shells is able to strip [[Lych]]'s Regrow, it is the least favorable degrow option due its high cost, since [[Cleansing Foam (BTD6)|Cleansing Foam]] is a much cheaper alternative on maps with poor spots for [[Heart of Oak (BTD6)|Heart of Oak]] or [[Embrittlement (BTD6)|Embrittlement]].
