'''Artillery Battery''' is the [[Mortar Monkey (Battles 2)|Mortar Monkey]]'s path 2 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD Battles 2]]''.

'''Artillery Battery''' is the [[Mortar Monkey (Battles 2)|Mortar Monkey]]'s path 2 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD Battles 2]]''. This upgrade gains triple attack speed (attacking every 0.27 seconds), deals +3 damage to [[BAD (Battles 2)|BAD]]s, and an ability that applies a further 4× attack speed bonus for 7 seconds, with a cooldown of 60 seconds. With the ability active, it attacks every 0.0675 seconds.

If [[Pop and Awe (Battles 2)|Pop and Awe]] is on screen, it gains a further +3 damage to BADs, increasing the bonus to +6.

==Costs and sell values==

==Strategy==

Artillery Battery is a consistent method of dealing with dense groups and MOAB rushes, especially with proper micro and its ability active. With the 2-4-0 crosspath for extra pierce and damage, it can be used to demolish round 18-21 type rushes and do reasonable damage to tight non-blimp rushes. In the late-game, Artillery Batteries with [[Pop and Awe (Battles 2)|Pop and Awe]] can be used as the main BAD damage in a Mortar-based strategy.

[[Bloon Buster (Battles 2)|Bloon Buster]] is always the preferred crosspath, as it's simply not worth going for [[Dynamic Targeting]] when Follow Touch/Mouse usually achieves sufficient targeting control, and the [[Burny Stuff (Battles 2)|Burny Stuff]] bonus is negligible compared to raw pierce and direct damage.
