Blooncineration is the final upgrade of Path 3 for the Mortar Monkey in Bloons TD 6. 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 blaze similar to Wall of Fire, at impact location, causing further damage to any bloon except Purple Bloons. Along with incinerating napalm and blazes, Blooncineration can now strip all bloon properties from bloons up to B.F.B.sandD.D.T.s (but not Z.O.M.G.s or B.A.D.s).
Blooncineration, although stated to deal extra damage versus normal bloons, it is in fact the best 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 at a relatively lower price and without the knockback effects. 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.
Tips[]
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.
Starting from Version 9.0, Blooncineration 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 Blooncineration blazes (i.e. the large circular flames that resemble Walls of Fire) 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.
Blooncineration is virtually the only Mortar Monkey that will help complete the "Crash of the Titans" achievement, as it is the only one to defortify DDTs.
Version History[]
Generally speaking, Blooncineration has been overall buffed to become a stronger offensive-based upgrade, contrasting the typically supporting role that preceding upgrades Signal Flare and Shattering Shells would fulfill.
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 (new "Wall of Blooncineration" only).
Napalm does damage 0.5 seconds faster. (Both MK and without).
9.0
Blooncineration can now apply burn effect to D.D.Ts.
Blooncineration blazes now benefit from 1-0-5 & 2-0-5 buffs.
11.0
xx5 Blooncineration can now remove camo from DDTs without knowledge being required.
Blooncineration now can remove fortified from DDTs.
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).
24.0
“
As an expensive high-layer T5 DPS tower lurking behind a mainly support path on path 3 Mortar it's not easy to save for, so Blooncineration has had a fair price reduction.
”
~ Ninja Kiwi
Blooncineration costs less ($45,000 → $40,000).
25.0
[undocumented] Blooncineration's blazes now no longer pop Purples and will disintegrate upon touching them.
28.0
“
Bottom path Mortar burns have been reworked to burn faster and last longer at all upgrades; the Extra Burny Stuff MK has been tweaked in order to keep it's [sic] benefit the same comparatively to the new & improved base values.

~ Ninja Kiwi
Blooncineration DoT duration increased from 3s -> 3.75s
Blooncineration DoT tic interval reduced from 1s -> 0.75s
MK: Extra Burny Stuff buff amount reduced 0.5s -> 0.25s
[undocumented bug] Blooncineration no longer strips camo off of DDTs without Paint Stripper.

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.
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.
This may be because the fortified stripping abilities could be inferred from its previous upgrade, Shattering Shells, even though only Blooncineration can defortify DDTs.
Cost of Blooncineration decreased ($55,000 → $50,000).
