- "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 |
” |
Attack cooldown modifier reduced ― ×0.7 → ×0.75
Overall attack cooldown reduced ― 1.54s → 1.5s (attack speed increased by 2.67% due to changes to the base attack cooldown)
- 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 |
” |
- Base accuracy increased ― 30 → 18
| “ | 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 |
” |
- Explosion: Damage increased ― 1 → 2
- Explosion: Pierce reduced ― 40 → 25
- Note: Bigger Blast and its subsequent upgrades unchanged
- 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 |
” |
- Upgrade cost increased ― $300 → $400
