Strategy
[edit | edit source]This section was last updated for: version 4.12
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 can be used as the main BAD damage in a Mortar-based strategy.
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 bonus is negligible compared to raw pierce and direct damage.

Mortar has still kept its spot at the top of the meta, dominating in all stages of the game. We’ve decided to limit its late game damage so that it still remains a strong tower early on but is now easier to kill in the late game.

Damage to BADs reduced ― +4 → +3

Mortar Monkey has not really been affected by any recent nerfs, still remaining very strong and only seeing a drop in usage due to Etienne offering an exciting alternative. Therefore we think that it’s justified to make some significant nerfs to Mortar’s early game, as it’s been a top tier tower for quite a few updates now.

- Overall cost increased by $50 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
- Pierce reduced ― 40 → 35

Mortar Monkey still excels in the current meta. We have reduced its blast radius, but increased (and fixed) the buff that Jones and Bones give it so that it remains similarly effective when paired with either of these heroes.

- Blast radius reduced ― 20 units → 18 units

The randomness of the Mortar has never been popular and the xx1 upgrade has often felt like a tax to remove RNG than an upgrade in its own right. The new Dynamic Targeting upgrade will hopefully give interesting crosspath options to the other upgrades, allowing the Mortar to easily focus fire on strong MOABs or maximise the impact of stunning by automatically aiming for the densest cluster of bloons. Manual targeting will likely still remain the most consistent option for effects like Signal Flare and Burny Stuff that just want to hit every bloon once.
