Mortars are ineffective against MOAB-class bloons. They gain health with each freeplay round.

And the stun effect from artillery doesn't always work like you want it to. If they take enough damage or for some technical reason, they will be stunned for less time than they are supposed to.

Besides, nothing has unlimited Popping Power, so even multiple Big Ones are not as reliable as you would think at the end of the day.

Also, I focused so heavily on research over base building land, that this was as good as I could get without temples.
