The Big One is the Mortar Monkey's path 1 tier 4 upgrade in Bloons Monkey City. It increases the Mortar Monkey's damage from 2 to 5, reduces its attack cooldown from 2.1 seconds to 1.8 seconds (effectively increasing its attack speed by roughly 16.7%), increases its pierce from 40 to 100, and allows it to damage Black Bloons. In the multiplatform version, it does not increase its blast radius due to an oversight involving changes made to its parameters when Monkey Knowledge was added to the game. In the Flash version, it correctly increases its blast radius by roughly 53%.

Monkey Knowledge Ranks 5, 10, and 15 for the Mortar Monkey increases Big One's damage by +1, +2, and +3, respectively.

Strategy

Big One isn't bad at destroying even the densest of Bloon rushes on any specified location but it's very expensive for what it does. The damage bonuses it receives from MK make it more viable for this niche, taking fewer shots to pop Ceramics. Note that due to a bug in the multiplatform version that prevents its blast radius from improving, the blasts aren't guaranteed to hit every Ceramic and below rushes unlike its Flash counterpart.

It's recommended to buy Rapid Reload to improve its consistency, especially in the multiplatform version with its worse blast radius size. Burny Stuff is redundant unless it transitioned from earlier tiers.

As Big One is the most expensive Mortar Monkey, it can be used to fulfill the Bomb/Mortar sacrifices for Temple Of The Monkey God, preferably undiscounted to ensure its maximum value is consumed.
