Its main explosion strips Regrow and Fortified modifiers, and its secondary no-damage blast strips both Camo and Regrow. | ||
The burn effect from Shattering Shells is improved to deal 5 damage per tick, and gains an additional burn that only targets MOAB-class, dealing 20 damage per tick. This blimp-only burn also affects DDTs. On any non-DDT blimp, it effectively does 25 damage per tick. Both the ordinary burn and blimp-only burn are affected by {{BTD6 mk|Extra Burny Stuff}}. | |||
Crosspathing with 2-0-4 further increases the burn effect to 8 damage and its blimp-only burn to 25, totalling 33 per tick on any non-DDT.<section end="lede"/> | |||

Shattering Shells is primarily used to defortify MOAB-class bloons, most notably from Round 98, to reduce total RBE and eliminate the threat of Fortified Super Ceramics in late-game CHIMPS rounds.<!--there are use cases of Shattering for other Fort R81+ rounds, just mostly R98--> However, it is quite expensive compared to other popular anti-Round 98 supports, such as multiple [[MOAB Press (BTD6)|MOAB Presses]]. | |||
Although Shattering Shells is viable for mid-game support, it lacks reliability against non-blimps, as it relies too heavily on precise hitting, unlike [[Artillery Battery (BTD6)|Artillery Battery]] (which also lacks Black Bloon weaknesses), and 4-0-2 [[The Big One (BTD6)|The Big One]]. Like other Mortars, Shattering Shells works best with [[Striker Jones (BTD6)|Striker Jones]], especially in the saveup to [[Blooncineration (BTD6)|Blooncineration]]. | |||
0-0-4 is usually good enough for de-fortification on single lane per round<!--bazaar comes into mind--> maps and a crosspath is not needed. If better consistency is needed (e.g. multi-lane maps), middle crosspath's attack speed is preferred over larger blasts (1-0-4), with 0-1-4 usually being enough. Fully crosspathing is only necessary when used for DPS or transitioning into Blooncineration. | |||
Although Shattering Shells is able to strip [[Lych]]'s Regrow, it is the least favorable degrow option due its high cost, since [[Cleansing Foam (BTD6)|Cleansing Foam]] is a much cheaper alternative on maps with poor spots for [[Heart of Oak (BTD6)|Heart of Oak]] or [[Embrittlement (BTD6)|Embrittlement]]. | |||
