~~The~~ '''Shell Shock Mortar''' is a [[Military]] [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|4.0}}. Instead of its attacks being controlled by the player, it automatically attacks a random [[Bloon (BCS)|Bloon]] on the opponent's side at the end of their turn and ~~stuns the affected bloon. Stunned bloons are unable to attack nor naturally reduce delay on the following turn, though their delay can still be reduced by other means (e.g.~~ [[~~Quick Ready~~]]~~, [[Hastening Bloon]]). The stun effect cannot stack~~. If given additional Ammo, it will use Ammo as many times as it can at the end of a turn.

If given additional Ammo, it will use Ammo as many times as it can at the end of a turn.

==Tips==

*Shell Shock Mortar can prevent ~~current affected Bloons~~ from being able to OTK, such as from [[Quick Ready]], but its randomness and 2 delay can make it unreliable, even for its cost.

*Shell Shock Mortar can prevent a single Bloon on screen from being able to OTK, such as from [[Quick Ready]], but its randomness and 2 delay can make it unreliable, even for its cost.

*Versus a single Bloon, Shell Shock Mortar can guarantee delaying it, though the Shell Shock Mortar's slow reload prevents it from permastalling, unless there are two Shell Shock Mortars with alternating reloads.

~~<!--~~

*Shell Shock is an excellent choice with [[Striker Jones (BCS)|Striker Jones]], as its damage per turn isn’t bad, the stalling is useful to help him get out of early game, and Ammo Stores allows for a Shell Shock to potentially stun two Bloons in one turn.

Ninja Kiwi proposed a buff to Shell Shock Mortar in Version 5.2 by buffing its ATK from 40 to 50. Ninja Kiwi did a round of testing and increased Shell Shock Mortar's ATK to 60, which was approved in the update.
