Can I jump in real quick? For some reason, I have a mortar tower idea that will drive me crazy if I don't share it;

The first two paths are largely intact with only one upgrade changed for the sake of the third path.

Path 1 (Power)

1: Impact winds: Shots can now hurt MOAB class bloons. Something that they could not normally do.

2: Bigger blast: Increases the blast radius and pierce of each shot.

3: Bloon buster: Pops 2 layers at once.

4: The Big One: Pops 5 layers of all bloons including black and zebra, doubles the popping power, and dramatically increases the explosion radius.

5: Implosive device: Pops 10 layers with an even larger area of effect. All other mortar towers on the screen pop 1 extra layer.

Path 2 (Status effect)

1: Rapid Reload:  Increases the attack speed of this mortar.

2: Burny stuff: Shots apply napalm to affected bloons. Bloons affected will pop every 2 seconds for 6 seconds.

3: Signal flare: Can now detect and affect camo bloons. Affected camo bloons lose their camo status.

4: Artillery battery: Triples the attack speed. Pop And Awe Ability: Barrages the entire screen for 5 seconds popping bloons every second and immobilizing them.

5: Artillery captain: Pop And Awe Ability is replaced by Explosive Rain. Explosive Rain lasts 10 seconds and deals +1 damage per second per mortar with a tier 3 upgrade or higher that you currently own.

Path 3 (Targeting/lingering blasts)

1: Increased accuracy: Shots are more accurate and the riticule is reduced.

2: Pivot emplacement:  Can now target bloons like a normal tower or be locked in place. (The former tier 4 specialty essentially.)

3: Gas Shells: Substantially reduces the fire rate but each shot leaves a lingering gas cloud that pops bloons inside once every half a second. Gas clouds last a while and can pop most bloon types but not lead.

4: Acid cloud: Leaves acid clouds instead of gas clouds. Acid clouds wreak havoc on fortified bloons, can pop lead, and pop bloons inside of it twice as fast.

5: Chain reaction: Acid cloud is much larger, expands with each bloon it pops, and lasts a little longer with each bloon it pops for a maximum of 4 seconds. The acid cloud also pops bloons 20% faster than tier 4.
