Extra Burny Stuff

“	Burny Stuff pops every second.	”
	^{~ In-game description}

Extra Burny Stuff is an upgrade in the Military Monkey Knowledge Tree that was first introduced on Version 6.0. It increases damage-per-second tick rate of the Burny Stuff and Blooncineration napalm by 0.25s. It requires four military knowledge points invested. There is no one-off purchase required before unlocking this MK.

With this MK active, napalm from Mortar Monkeys damage at a faster rate. Burny Stuff napalm ticks at a base rate of 1.0s instead of every 1.25s, remaining at 3 ticks over a 3.75s duration but at a faster rate. Blooncineration napalm ticks at a rate of 0.5s instead of every 0.75s, increasing the total ticks over a 3.75s duration from 6 to 7. However, 3+-0-2 Mortars with Burny Stuff tick much faster, damaging at a rate of every 0.375s instead of 0.625s, resulting in 5 ticks over a 1.875s instead of 3.

Strategy[]

Summary[]

Having the Extra Burny Stuff MK allows the burning effects from Burny Stuff and above to burn faster. The overall damage from the burn damage-over-time remains fairly similar for most upgrades, with exception of both Blooncineration and Burny Shell Shocks (i.e. 3-0-2 Mortar and above). Blooncineration receives a sizable benefit by ticking faster, accumulating more total ticks since initial ignition and chipping damage against blimps much faster. For 3-0-2 Mortars and above, they get a huge boost in damage, particularly the 5-0-2 Biggest One.

Tips[]

For upgrades other than those from Shell Shock and above (which can't have both Path 2 and 3 anyway) use the Path 2 crosspath, as Path 1 crosspath will not affect the burn damage-over-time and larger explosions generally aren't as valuable as hitting the same location at a faster rate.
For 3-0-2 and above Mortars, target in a favorable spot on the map where bloons loop around, as positioning is important, if not paramount for countering the slow attack speed of such Mortars.
If needing to catch Super Ceramics more reliably when using the 5-0-2 Biggest One, use a Downdraft to manually blow back stragglers. Fortunately, assuming standard health, any Super Ceramics hit by the improved burn including Fortified Super Ceramics will be obliterated in a single go with a very short delay.

Version History[]

Extra Burny Stuff was overall buffed but its effect is damped in Version 28.0 when Burny Stuff got a rework buff.

Buffs and nerfs are shown in relation to overall player favorability.

“	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.	”
