'''Signal Flare''' is the [[Mortar Monkey (BTD6)|Mortar Monkey]]'s path 3 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It adds a new wider explosion that removes the [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo]] property of any Bloon, including [[DDT (BTD6)|DDTs]], that it hits, while doing zero damage. It also gains camo detection.

The Mortar also gains camo detection. This secondary explosion has 50 pierce and 52 radius (90 pierce and 72.8 radius with 1-0-3).

With the preferred 0-2-3 crosspath, Signal Flare is a cheap and fairly reliable de-camo option. It functions the best on maps with one active lane per round, where its reliability can be further maximized by targeting on a bend near the entrance, but can still be used with active micromanagement on other maps. It does struggle against Round 78's Camo Ceramic clump, which requires micromanagement regardless of the map.

0-2-3 is generally preferred, improving its consistency on all map formats, particularly against Camo Pinks. On a consistent bend or intersection, such as the beginning of [[Geared]] or the middle of [[Midnight Mansion]], 0-1-3 can be enough to reliably decamo DDTs. 1-0-3, while cheaper than 0-2-3, is not very good outside of [[Race (BTD6)|Race]] conditions.
