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. 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 is usually unreliable as the main source of damage to non-blimp bloons, 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]] which has large blasts that burn faster. 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 maps and a crosspath is not needed. For most maps with ~~multiple~~ simultaneous entrances, 0-1-4 crosspath is enough. Full crosspaths are recommended if planning to use Shattering Shells as a stepping stone to [[Blooncineration (BTD6)|Blooncineration]]; ~~often best with~~ 2-0-4.

Full crosspaths are recommended if planning to use Shattering Shells as a stepping stone to [[Blooncineration (BTD6)|Blooncineration]]; for maximum damage, 2-0-4 is preferred, with 0-2-4 for consistency.
