Blooncineration

Blooncineration is the final upgrade of Path 3 for the Mortar Monkey in BTD6. It allows the Mortar Monkey to burn MOAB-class bloons, dealing 100 damage to all affected MOAB-class bloons as well as 5 to normal bloons per second for 3 seconds. In addition, each explosion creates a Wall of Blooncineration, a firewall similar to Wall of Fire, at impact location, causing further damage to bloons of all types including Purple Bloons and Camo Bloons. Along with incinerating napalm and firewalls, Blooncineration can now strip all bloon properties from bloons up to BFBs and DDTs (but still not ZOMGs or BADs).

It costs $38,250 on Easy, $45,000 on Medium, $48,600 on Hard, and $54,000 on Impoppable.

StrategyEdit

SummaryEdit

Blooncineration, although stated to deal extra damage versus normal bloons, it is in fact the best versus demolishing MOAB-class bloons into weaker bloons. Combined with the added firewall attacks that spawn where each explosion lands on, significantly increased damage to MOAB-class from the improved explosive napalm will easily create masses of weaker layers. Fortunately, like all Mortar Monkeys, Blooncineration can be controlled easily by targeting specific groups of blimps, staggering the groups by popping certain blimp groups one by one, so as not to overwhelm backup defenses.

It can deal decent cleanup versus Super Ceramics with each generated firewall, but fully popping bloons remains its major weakness. As such, Blooncineration fits more under a major DPS role who depends much on backup defense, similarly to MOAB Domination but at a relatively lower price. The best towers to pair with Blooncineration are the ones that excel versus Super Ceramics, such as 3-2-0 Spiked Balls army or 0-2-5 Perma-Spike.

TipsEdit

• This upgrade is significantly stronger at burning down MOAB-class bloons when paired with the Monkey Knowledge "Extra Burny Stuff", since it will now deal 100 damage twice per second instead of once per second.
• As of Version 9.0, it can now burn DDTs without MIB. This change has made Blooncineration become a more viable choice at burning any type of MOAB-class bloon.
• Version 11.0's addition of being able to defortify and decamo DDTs makes this tower very useful against DDTs of any type.
• Usually, a 0/2/5 Blooncineration is more superior than 2/0/5 Blooncineration. Even if both the explosions and the "Walls of Blooncineration" both receive the +5 pierce and +1 damage-per-0.1s from the Bigger Blast and Bloon Buster upgrades, respectively, a 0/2/5 Bloonceration is overall stronger. Granting Blooncineration upgraded attack speed allows the Blooncineration Mortar Monkey to dispense more "Walls of Blooncineration" while at the same time exploding out napalm explosions at a quicker rate.

TriviaEdit

• The napalm attack was similar to other upgrades after Burny Stuff (others being Signal Flare and Shattering Shells), whereby without MIB napalm-based effects could not affect Black Bloons. This was changed in Version 9.0; it now can burn DDTs.
• When bought with the most expensive crosspaths, a 2/0/5 Blooncineration (Blooncineration with Bloon Buster) is by far the most expensive way to decamo DDTs with a single tower, even more expensive than a 5/0/2 Energizer, 5/2/0 Archmage, 0/2/5 Prince of Darkness, and a 0/2/5 Master Bomber.
• In Version 11.0, the description was changed from "Superhot burny stuff burns through 5 layers of Bloon each time, and can also burn up MOAB-Class Bloons." to "Superhot burny stuff melts through 5 layers of bloon each shot, burns MOAB class bloons for extra damage, and strips DDT camo.", though technically Blooncineration strips Fortified DDT properties too.
• Blooncineration is one of three towers referenced by a hero, with Gwendolin saying "Blooncinerated!" The other two are Spirit of the Forest mentioned by Obyn Greenfoot and the Sun God mentioned by Captain Churchill.
