Stuns all but the biggest MOABs as it blasts deeply through Bloons and layers over a huge area, plus powerful Burny Stuff damage.

~ BTDB2 description
The Biggest One is the 5th upgrade of Path 1 for the Mortar Monkey in Bloons TD Battles 2. It is similar to its BTD6 counterpart, with the key difference being the uniform duration of stunning MOAB-class bloons and the innate black-popping power.
Explosions deal 50 damage, plus +35 damage to MOAB-Class Bloons, and burning effects as a crosspath deal 45 damage per 0.675s for up to 1.875s, the damage of 3 ticks totalling 135 damage. Explosions apply a stun effect to all MOAB-Class Bloons, except BADs, applying an equal stun duration of 0.35s. All other Bloons are stunned for 0.4s. Blast radius increases on top of The Big One (72 blast radius for main explosion, 37 for stunwave, 111 for damage wave). Outer shockwave explosions deal 1 damage, 21 versus Ceramics.
It costs $28,000, and is unlockable with the other Mortar Monkey tier 5 upgrades for 1500.
Substantial bloon and MOAB-class damage plus stuns. It is very expensive, packs huge pierce, but most importantly it is reliable at taking down all-out various strong densely packed bloons.
Tips[]
The 5-2-0 crosspath is usually better in BTDB2 for stunning Super Ceramics and MOAB-class bloons, though 5-0-2 can outperform damage compared to 5-2-0.
Using either Striker Level 20 Artillery Command or Biker Bones Level 10+ Artillery Command should hugely benefit its damage output.
Combining with MOAB Press allows for a powerful blimp stall especially versus an all-out rush of ZOMGs and BFBs on the R22-25 range.

Mortar Monkey still excels in the current meta. We have reduced its blast radius, but increased (and fixed) the buff that Jones and Bones give it so that it remains similarly effective when paired with either of these heroes.

4.2
Damage increased from 25 → 50
Bonus damage to ceramics removed (+25 → +0)
“
This shouldn't have any impact other than making the Biggest One perform a little better at popping Bonnie's minecarts.

Trivia[]
The Biggest One's stun to blimps has been added to BTD6 later on, but also given a cost increase in BTD6. However, the BTDB2 variant had no price increase.
The updated description of The Biggest One was added at unknown date (although definitely at least v1.5.0), but it added the mention about stunning blimps.
