'''The Big One''' is the [[Mortar Monkey (BMC)|Mortar Monkey]]'s path 1 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons Monkey City]]''. It increases the Mortar Monkey's [[damage]] from 2 to 5, reduces its attack cooldown from 2.1 seconds to 1.8 seconds (effectively increasing its [[attack speed]] by roughly 16.7%), increases its [[pierce]] from 40 to 100, and allows it to damage [[Black Bloon (BMC)|Black Bloon]]s. In the {{multiplat version|Bloons Monkey City}}, it does not increase its [[projectile radius|blast radius]] due to an [[List of errors in BTD5 and BMC (multiplatform)#Mortar upgrade oversight|oversight involving changes made to its parameters when Monkey Knowledge was added to the game]]. In the {{Flash version|Bloons Monkey City}}, it correctly increases its blast radius by roughly 53%.

[[Monkey Knowledge (BMC)|Monkey Knowledge]] Ranks 5, 10, and 15 for the Mortar Monkey increases Big One's damage by +1, +2, and +3, respectively.

~~{{Strategy needed|Temple tips and how to use it for rushes~~ compared to other options}}

The Big One has a high cost compared to other options, and it relies on Monkey Knowledge (mainly, at least Rank 5) and a map that favors the large blast radius (such as maps like [[Heavy Forest Terrain#Rose|Rose]] and [[Grass Terrain#Yo-Yo|Yo-Yo]]), but it is still viable for greatly assisting cleanup of hordes of [[Ceramic Bloon (BMC)|Ceramic Bloon]]s and below.

~~Big One isn't bad~~ at ~~destroying even~~ the ~~densest~~ of Bloon ~~rushes on any specified location but it'~~s ~~very expensive for what it does~~. ~~The damage bonuses~~ it ~~receives from MK make~~ it ~~more viable for this niche, taking fewer shots~~ to pop ~~Ceramics~~. ~~Note that due~~ to ~~a bug in~~ the ~~multiplatform version~~ that ~~prevents its~~ blast radius ~~from improving, the blasts aren't guaranteed to hit every Ceramic and below rushes unlike its Flash counterpart~~.

On the multiplatform version, due to the bugged range it is not worth it as ceramics leave the radius before they can be hit twice to fully pop.

It's recommended to buy [[Rapid Reload (BMC)|Rapid Reload]] to improve its consistency. [[Burny Stuff (BMC)|Burny Stuff]] also provides bonus damage during the downtime between shots, which can often finish off weakened Bloons that leave the blast radius.

As Big One is the most expensive Mortar Monkey, it can be used to fulfill the Bomb/Mortar sacrifices for [[Temple Of The Monkey God (BMC)|Temple Of The Monkey God]], preferably undiscounted to ensure its maximum value is consumed.

It's recommended to buy [[Rapid Reload (BMC)|Rapid Reload]] to improve its consistency, especially in the multiplatform version with its worse blast radius size. [[Burny Stuff (BMC)|Burny Stuff]] is redundant unless it transitioned from earlier tiers.
