| “ | Superhot burny stuff that incinerates MOAB-Class Bloons with ease. | ” |
| ~ In-game description |
Blooncineration is the fifth and final upgrade of Path 3 for the Mortar Monkey in Bloons TD 6. It greatly increases damage of the napalm, dealing 100 damage (150 with Bloon Buster) to all affected MOAB-class bloons as well as 5 to normal bloons (8 with Bloon Buster) per 0.75s for 3.75s. In addition, each explosion creates a Wall of Blooncineration, a blaze similar to Wall of Fire, at impact location, causing further damage to any bloon including Camo Bloons but not Purple Bloons. Along with incinerating napalm and blazes, Blooncineration can now strip all Fortified Bloon properties from bloons up to BFBs and DDTs (but not ZOMGs or BADs).
The blazes spawned from Blooncineration deal 1 damage every 0.1s contact within a 15 radius, and has 20 pierce per tick. With 2-0-5, it deals 3 damage every 0.1s within a 21 radius and has 36 pierce per tick.
This upgrade costs $34,000 on Easy, $40,000 on Medium, $43,200 on Hard, and $48,000 on Impoppable.

Blooncineration incinerating and stripping Fortified DDTs
The Blooncineration appears to have a monkey doing some sort of a evil laugh, as the mortar fires at the air along with traces of flame when it fires. The monkey's goggles appears to be glowing bright orange, the helmet logo now glows bright yellow and the mortar now have more fiery paint decoration on it. Unlike previous upgrades, the monkey wears red gloves, instead of dark grey gloves like its predecessors.
In the upgrade portrait, the monkey clenches his hands in an evil manner, and makes a big smile while his goggles glow bright orange.
As implied by its name, Blooncineration specializes in producing extra hot fiery explosions. It burns much faster, incinerates MOAB-class bloons, and leaves behind fiery blazes on the middle of every explosive shot.
Targeting Priorities[]
Mortar Monkey has only one target priority, "Set Target". This allows the Mortar Monkey to land shells within anywhere inside the target reticle. Tapping on the "Set Target" button prompts the player to change the target position of where the Mortar Monkey will land its shells. By default, once the Mortar Monkey is bought, the Mortar Monkey's target reticle is placed near the start of the first bloon track.
If Striker Jones's Level 7+ Target Focus ability is activated, all Mortar Monkeys are automatically set to Follow Touch / Follow Mouse temporarily, unless manually re-targeted via Set Target, and snap back to their old Set Target option once the ability is finished.

Strategy[]
Summary[]
Blooncineration, as its description suggests, is highly specialised at demolishing MOAB-class bloons into weaker bloons. Combined with the added blaze 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 through its generated blazes, 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 with the capability to explode at specific points. The best towers to pair with Blooncineration are the ones that excel versus Super Ceramics and weaker blimps, typically those that are able to clean up blimps and Super Ceramics left over from the immense popping power of Blooncineration.
One notable hot point about Blooncineration is its potency against both Round 98 and Round 99. The built-in Shattering Shells helps weaken Fortified BFBs on Round 98 in addition to its blazes and incineration largely reducing total RBE of the round, but at the risk of doing too much damage such that the defense will struggle against the remaining bloons. As for Round 99, Fortified DDTs will be defortified and decamoed by Blooncineration, making it significantly easier for defenses that typically struggle against DDTs. Support against high-HP blimps and Super Ceramics is likely the only really necessary addition to a Blooncineration.
Tips[]
- This upgrade is significantly stronger at burning down MOAB-class bloons when paired with the Extra Burny Stuff MK, since it will begin dealing 100 damage every 0.5s instead of 0.75s.
- Blooncineration is able to burn DDTs without a MIB, making it viable for burning any type of MOAB-class bloon.
- Being able to defortify and decamo DDTs makes this tower very useful against DDTs of any type. Additionally, their children becomes as easy to pop as regular MOABs' children.
- As there are more DDTs and Fortified DDTs in Alternate Bloons Rounds up to Round 100, Blooncineration is very strong in that game mode.
- Crosspath choice between 2-0-5 and 0-2-5 depends on the needs. 0-2-5 catches bloons especially DDTs better and outputs higher rates of blazes, while 2-0-5 has much stronger burning damage and greater damage blazes. 2-0-5 is better for single-target, however, though 0-2-5 is superior at hitting consistently (especially against fast-moving DDTs) and synergizes far better with buffs for the blazes in particular.
- While the explosions and the Blooncineration blazes (i.e. the large circular flames that resemble Walls of Fire) both receive the large bonus pierce and higher damage-per-tick from the Bigger Blast and Bloon Buster upgrades respectively, it dispenses napalm explosions at a quicker rate and produces many more blazes.
Version History[]
Balance Changes[]
Blooncineration has been buffed greatly to become a stronger offensive-based upgrade, contrasting the typically supporting role that preceding upgrades Signal Flare and Shattering Shells would fulfill. After buffing Blooncineration's base power, the 2-0-5 crosspath has been buffed a large amount to compete as an independently stronger option that has slow attack speed to offset the buffability and consistency of 0-2-5.
- 8.0
- Cost of Blooncineration decreased ($55,000 → $50,000)
- Bloonceration now creates a "Wall of Blooncineration" at impact point, creating a blaze similar to Wall of Fire.
- Blooncineration now can damage all bloon types.
- Napalm does damage 0.5 seconds faster. (Both MK and without).
- 9.0
- Blooncineration can now apply burn effect to DDTs.

- Blooncineration blazes now directly pop camos.
- 21.0
| “ | Mortar's Faster Reload feels like a 'required' as a crosspath with Burny Stuff never scaling well on any path but its own. We like choices not requirements so to counter this we have made Burny Stuff scale with top-path damage & shifted a small amount of the speed from Faster Reload onto the base mortar [...] | ” |
| ~ Ninja Kiwi, referring to Mortar's base attack speed versus Path 2 crosspathing |
- Attack speed without Path 2 upgrades increased (2.2s → 2.0s)
- Attack speed with Faster Reload increased (1.54s → 1.5s)
- Attack speed with Rapid Reload decreased (1.07s → 1.08s)

- Blooncineration was presumably left at 1.0s.
- 28.3
- [Bug fix] Blooncineration now decamos DDTs without requiring Paint Stripper.
- Ninja Kiwi states that Blooncineration was fixed to decamo DDTs, but never mentioned about prior requiring Paint Stripper, which indeed was the case before this bug fix.

| “ | [...] likewise 205 Mortar is not often used as base damage isn't relevant for Blooncineration compared to attack speed, following along with the idea of Top Path improving burny stuff damage in addition to base hit damage both of these paths will now benefit from increase burn DoT in such a way. | ” |

| “ | We’re looking to shakeup mortar in a couple small ways this update, along with Striker Jones changes noted further on for ‘multi-mortaring’ synergy. From the base level Mortar has far more pierce than should ever be necessary at low rounds but doesn’t hit beefy enough for the low fire rate, so we are trading up some base pierce for damage, instead moving this lost pierce up into crosspath. [...] | ” |
| ~ Ninja Kiwi |
- Blooncineration base damage increased (1 → 2)
- Blooncineration base pierce reduced (40 → 25)
- 41.0
| “ | [...] Signal flare is too effective a cheap full map de-camo though a little unreliable due to the lower rate & low radius of de-camo, cost is increasing a little but also with greater radius for the de-camo area to improve reliability and a power buff at Shattering Shells for there to be more of a reason to path through Signal Flare rather than stop at it. | ” |
| ~ Ninja Kiwi, referring to Signal Flare |
- Blooncineration camo removal radius increased from 43 to 52
- 1-0-5 Blooncineration camo removal radius increased from 63 to 72
- 43.0
| “ | [...] Blooncineration’s 025 crosspath currently works so much better with external buffs so we're tweaking the 205 crosspath to feel better in some situations. | ” |
| ~ Ninja Kiwi |
- 1-0-5 Blooncineration "Wall of Fire" blaze pierce increased from 25 to 36
- 2-0-5 Blooncineration "Wall of Fire" blaze damage increased from 2 to 3

Trivia[]
- 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 0-2-5 Master Bomber, 5-0-2 Energizer, 5-2-0 Archmage, or a 0-2-5 Prince of Darkness.
- When the Blooncineration got buffed to remove DDT camo and fortifications in Version 11.0, the description was updated on the same update but only mentioned "DDT camo" without ever mentioning stripping of Fortified DDT properties as well.
- This may be because the fortified stripping abilities could be inferred from its previous upgrade, Shattering Shells, even though only Blooncineration can defortify DDTs.
- Blooncineration is one of four towers referenced by a hero, with Gwendolin saying "Blooncinerated!" The other three are Spirit of the Forest mentioned by Obyn Greenfoot, the Sun God mentioned by Captain Churchill, and The Big One mentioned by Pat Fusty.
- Blooncineration is a pun on words "Bloon" and "incineration".
