Mortar Monkey

"Targets a specific area of ground over any distance with an explosive attack."

- BTD4 Description

The Mortar Tower is a unique unit in that it does not have an attack range. It can be placed anywhere except water and its target area can be selected by clicking on the Mortar Tower then clicking where on the track you want it to attack. On the iPhone/iPod Touch version, tap the tower, then tap 'TARGET' and then tap where you want it to aim.

It will continue to attack the selected target area every 4-5 seconds.

This tower is effective at bombarding the beginning area to thin out bloons and also at areas such as U-shaped tracks and in between two close tracks. This is because of its large explosion that can pop lots of bloons at once. Once it has it's Bloon Buster upgrade, it can destroy two layers of bloons. This tower, once upgraded, can pop the most layers of bloons.

This tower is ineffective against black and zebra bloons.
