Unleashing Chaos: Mastering the Mortar Tower in Bloons TD 5 with Monkeys

In Bloons TD 5, the Mortar Tower is a powerful addition to any monkey army, capable of wiping out entire screens full of bloons with its rapid-fire mortar shells. But what makes this tower truly special are its abilities and upgrades, particularly when paired with the Monkey's signature skill - burning bloons.

Burning Bloons take 1 damage every second until they wear off, while also applying both a stun and burn effect to all on-screen bloons for 5 seconds. This means that any bloon caught in the Mortar Tower's path will not only be damaged but also temporarily stunned and set ablaze, giving your monkeys an upper hand in popping them.

The Mortar Tower itself has an Activated Ability that allows it to reduce its reload time by a significant amount (1.61s → 0.52s), increasing its attack speed by over 310%. This makes it an incredibly formidable opponent on the battlefield, capable of taking down even the toughest MOAB-class bloons.

But what truly sets the Mortar Tower apart is its Path Ability, Pop And Awe. For 5 seconds, the Mortar Tower bombards the screen with rapid-fire shells, popping every bloon once per second and immobilizing them all in the process. This ability can turn the tide of battle in an instant, clearing screens of bloons and giving your monkeys a much-needed breather.

The Mortar Tower has several upgrades available to it, including increased blast range and improved targeting capabilities. In the mobile version of BTD5, players can use the Mortar Emplacement to switch between standard target priorities like First, Last, Close, and Strong, allowing for greater flexibility in battle. The default position for the Mortar Emplacement is on top of the tower itself.

When used effectively, the Mortar Tower can be a game-changer in Bloons TD 5. Its ability to take down even the toughest bloons with ease makes it an essential addition to any monkey army, and its upgrades only serve to make it more formidable. With the Mortar Tower on your side, you'll be well on your way to poping all those pesky bloons and saving the world from certain destruction.
