Mortars are flexible at dealing grouped damage on a focused area anywhere on screen, but require micromanagement to fully take advantage of. Being able to be purchased at the start of standard [[CHIMPS]] allows it to be an early-game carry on maps with tight bends, such as [[Dark Path]] and [[Glacial Trail]]. Most of its power come from its Tier 3 and above upgrades, as its lower-tiers are only okay. [[Striker Jones (BTD6)|Striker Jones]] is its favored Hero for Mortar-centric defense, as he provides them with increased attack speed, black-popping, and other benefits that assist them.

Top path is focused on grouped damage and support via stuns. All of the higher-tiers on this path deal much more damage with [[Burny Stuff (BTD6)|Burny Stuff]], so should be bought as crosspaths if the map has sufficient length or has wide bends, otherwise middle crosspath is better. They all have Black Bloon weaknesses, making Striker's black-popping buff vital.
