Strategy

Faster Reload sees niche use in the early game of races. Otherwise, it is only recommended as a stepping stone or as a crosspath to Tier 3 and above Mortars, in which case, upgrading further to Rapid Reload is recommended.

  • Buff "Blast radius increased slightly"
  • "Mortars should no longer display line of sight as they can ignore all blockers"
  • "The mortar’s projectiles should no longer visually drop back down the barrel"
Mortar’s Faster Reload feels like a ‘required’ as a crosspath with Burny Stuff never scaling well on any path but it’s own. We like choices not requirements so to counter this we have made Burny Stuff scale with top-path damage & shifted a small amount of the speed from Faster Reload onto the base mortar and reduced base accuracy considerably.
— Update notes
  • Buff Mortar base rate of fire increased ― 2.2s → 2s
  • Nerf Random spread radius increased ― 18 → 30
    • Note: Random spread with X-X-1 Increased Accuracy is unchanged (8)
We felt like we set up the math quite well with Mortar changes last update, but regardless of this missed shots due to inaccuracy vs. attack speed turned out to be unpopular and impacted the middle path too severely. Fortunately this change led to the community finding some critical bugs in the middle path upgrades there since Mortar’s release! That said, since low tier Mortars were never powerful we chose to leave the speed buff from last update but revert the accuracy nerf.
— Update notes
  • Buff Base accuracy increased ― 30 → 18
1-0-3, 1-0-4, 1-0-5
  • Buff Decamo explosion pierce increased ― 80 → 85 (bug fix)
  • Buff Decamo explosion radius increased ― 50 → 70 (bug fix)
As the camo property has grown quite weak and currently Signal Flare is considered the best decamo tool, we want to push back slightly on its cost and by reducing the blast radius of the decamo area while emphasizing crosspathing for effectiveness there.
— Update notes
1-0-3, 1-0-4, 1-0-5
  • Buff Decamo: Bigger Blasts pierce bonus increased ― +5 → +10
We’re looking to shakeup mortar in a couple small ways this update, along with Striker Jones changes noted further on for ‘multi-mortaring’ synergy. From the base level Mortar has far more pierce than should ever be necessary at low rounds but doesn’t hit beefy enough for the low fire rate, so we are trading up some base pierce for damage, instead moving this lost pierce up into crosspath.
— Update notes
  • Buff Explosion: Damage increased ― 1 → 2
Blooncineration’s 025 crosspath currently works so much better with external buffs so we're tweaking the 205 crosspath to feel better in some situations.
— Update notes
1-0-5
  • Buff Blaze (WoF): Pierce increased ― 25 → 36
1-0-4
  • Buff DoT damage versus MOAB-class increased ― +10 → +20
    • Note: Total MOAB-class damage increased from 15 to 25. Does not affect Blooncineration. 204 crosspath remains at +15 MOAB damage which is a bug
  • Buff Overall cost reduced by $150 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
No big shakeup for Mortar right now, but upon review of crosspaths we felt some low-end pricing wasn’t well balanced. These adjustments should improve early-game options without touching the core power of the tower.
— Update notes
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $500 → $300
