'''Signal Flare''' is the [[Mortar Monkey (BMC)|Mortar Monkey]]'s path 2 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons Monkey City]]''. | '''Signal Flare''' is the [[Mortar Monkey (BMC)|Mortar Monkey]]'s path 2 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons Monkey City]]''. It gains [[Camo detection]] and each shot now removes Camo properties from any Bloon hit in its blast. With Ranks 3, 8, and 13 [[Monkey Knowledge (BMC)|Monkey Knowledge]] for the Mortar Monkey, each shot removes Regrow properties from only Regrow Bloons (3, 4, 5, respectively) within the blast, and [[Bigger Blast (BMC)|Bigger Blast]] increases the radius for this separate attack. | ||

This tower's decamo ability is inconsistent and lacking, especially on the multiplatform 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 sufficient 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. | |||

*Signal Flare is the face of the Rare [[Monkey Knowledge (BMC)|Monkey Knowledge]] card for the Mortar Monkey in the Flash version. | |||
