Strategy: probably shouldn't say "better" cause removing regen is better than slowing regen down.

This tower's decamo ability is inconsistent and lacking, especially on the Mobile version where it has a weaker blast radius and is afflicted by a [[List_of_errors_in_BTD5_and_BMC_(mobile)#Mortar_upgrade_oversight|bug]] that prevents the radius from improving with upgrades. As a result, it should instead be used to counter Camo [[Lead Bloon (BMC)|Lead Bloon]]s with Camo detectors that have Lead weaknesses. It is cheaper than 2-2 [[Lightning Bolt (BMC)|Lightning Bolt]]. However, Signal Flare offers little else besides camo-detecting [[Burny Stuff (BMC)|Burny Stuff]].

With [[Monkey Knowledge (BMC)|Monkey Knowledge]], the ability to de-regrow is available, but is hampered by its lack of pierce, only managing to de-regrow a few Bloons at a time. Ironically, the prior upgrade Burny Stuff does a much better job at managing Regrow Bloons, due to the damage over time effect counteracting the regeneration just enough for otherwise frail defenses to combat rushes.

Like Burny Stuff, Signal Flare benefits from [[Increased Accuracy (BMC)|Increased Accuracy]], but in the multiplatform version [[Bigger Blast (BMC)|Bigger Blast]] is useless due to the bug that prevents the damaging explosion or the decamo blast from improving blast radius.
