Heavy Shells (BTDB2)

- BTDB2 descrition

Heavy Shells is the 3rd upgrade of the Mortar Monkey in Bloons TD Battles 2. It is almost identical to its BTD6 counterpart.

It costs $900, and is unlocked with 2,300 XP.

Summary
The main perk of this upgrade that makes this upgrade itself worthwhile is the innate black-popping power, making Round 6 actually counterable if relying on Mortar in the early-game. The extra damage to Ceramics makes it more efficient against rushes of Ceramics, but the other forms of bonus damage aren't quite as useful aside from when upgraded to Artillery Battery, which reveals the true value of the Heavy Shells damage bonuses.

Tips

 * 2-3-0 Heavy Shells is usually better than 0-3-2 Heavy Shells, as Heavy Shells already pops Black Bloons, and the extra damage is usually better than a damage-over-time that only does 2 delayed ticks of damage.
