Before applying a higher-damage burning effect, explosions will remove all [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo]] and [[Regrow Bloon (BTD6)|Regrow]] [[modifier]]s (including from [[Boss Bloon]]s), and all [[Fortified Bloon (BTD6)|Fortified]] modifiers from up to [[BFB (BTD6)|BFB]] (plus [[DDT (BTD6)|DDT]] with {{BTD6 mk|Paint Stripper}}). On hit, the main explosion strips Regrow and Fortified modifiers, unlike [[Signal Flare (BTD6)|Signal Flare]]'s [[decamo]] which comes from a separate no-damage explosion. | ||

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. | |||

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 Presses. | {{BTD6 last updated|55.2|section=y}} | ||

Like other Mortars, Shattering Shells works best with [[Striker Jones (BTD6)|Striker Jones]], especially in the saveup to [[Blooncineration (BTD6)|Blooncineration]]. | ||

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]]. | |||
