I can see the combined mortar maybe getting some sort of homing shot or leading its target which is similar to scattershot sure but it still can’t shoot air and honestly I don’t see the need for a combined mortar to be on the same level as something like a scattershot

There is one key difference between the home village mortars and the builder base mortars, and that is splash damage. The whole reason why the multi mortar in the builder base was so good is because it splashes a huge area, but the mortars in the home village (even the geared up one) has almost no splash damage. I believe making the splash radius bigger in the home village would improve the mortars a lot. Another idea that i had, is when you level up mortars, their attack range should increase. Their default range is 3-11 tiles if i'm not mistaken. But for instance, if your mortar reaches level 8 at townhall 10 (a.k.a. Where the flame flingers can be used for the first time), their range should go from 3-11 tiles to 3-12 tiles (or 11.5 tiles if that's too broken). And then at townhall 16 the mortar should get another range increase of 1 tile. The only thing mortars are good for nowadays is outranging the flame flingers (which x-bows and the monolith can do as well), so by implementing these things I listed, maybe they get other uses besides for sniping the flame flingers. tl,dr: increase splash damage like multi mortar in builder base has, increase range as levels go up.

One special thing that mortar has in low th level is its pushback ability. It a pity they completey abandoned it cuz i feel like it would be a really nice thing at higher th

They need to do what they did with cannons and archer towers. Just combine 2 into 1, and make it an entirely different defense. Something useful.

Since merging defenses is a thing now, perhaps TH17 can have another mortar added to the base (so player can keep their multi-mortar). The merged mortar would have increased range, very heavy damage, and its aoe would be perhaps twice that of the large bomb. This would make it so that hiding troops directly behind your tanks difficult as it could shred through the support troops. And I think it would be good for its aoe to hit both ground and air. It would be a ground targeting defense that hits everything in its range. one more idea is that the merged mortar would deal damage to troops near it every time it fired (mini crusher) due to the force of launching its shells

When I was a kid when I reached town hall 8's Mortar I imagined it would have fire damage(Damage over time once hit) because at that level, the mortar changed from boulders to flaming boulders. Boy was I disappointed. I think the DOT damage should be implemented for the mortar and a bigger splash radius.

Like builder base lava launcher

I think the Mortars from Galaxy Life were better, because there were no troops faster than the Riders, but you actually had to actually get some skill to use Riders. And it helps that most of the Troops were centered at slow/bulky troops.

They’ll prob do a evolution of it like the merged canon and archer tower where it either has more aoe or it could shoot potions (like poison or maybe even goblins like the evo mortar in clash royale) like how we use mortars to release smoke screens or tear gas. I think needs a place again and it won’t ever be a major defence like the air defence or eagle artillery /monoliths etc. so I think making it have a support function like potion throwers for your base is the best way to make it useful again.

Another video topic: Why the builder base spring trap is the worst trap. Reason: Because it can only spring barbarians and archers. At max level its spring capacity is 8, which is enough for either two barbs or two archers.

I definitely agree with some earlier comments that a stun effect or a burning effect from the mortar would immediately make it relevant again as that could not be ignored by anything in its impact area. Also, it could work how actual real mortars work with specific fuzes, detonating above/into whatever is directly below them, which for the purpose of the game could be air or ground troops (Essentially how the eagle artillery works). And they could frag out as well to bolster the splash damage If they really wanted to get fancy with it you could have unlockable and selectable effects like with the heroes equipment, such as freeze/stun, burn, frag, poison, etc Or maybe even the ability to switch it to flak cannon mode, making it possible to toggle between an air or a ground defense

Mortars appeal is that they can damage weak troops behind ur tanks , so that delay on hit makes sense. But now no one really uses witches or wizards or archers which mortar is decent against

Mortars at higher town halls got a slight buff because they out range the flame flingers and do a bit of damage to them so they will be able to destroy like 1 or 2 fewer defenses

They often make you have to constantly distract it with troops until the flinger eventually takes it out. Also its health was buffed so defenses around it can shoot down those balloons before you can take it down so easily.

it is important that there are heavy defenses and weaker defenses like the mortar, because it would be hard to concentrate on every defense and not on the most important ones. and the morzat is good at higher th levels, because of the flameflinger and to use it like a distranction for defense targeting troups and make the funneling harder

For it to be relevent again, on the next update they need to make all 4 mortars as geared-up mortars.

@bastianian2939

3 ай бұрын

It is already useful on high th levels, it outranges flame flinger

Now that defense merging is in the game, they should make it so you can merge 1-3 mortars with the eagle artillery (basically the better mortar as you said) and give the eagle artillery some new effect that comes with it, maybe simply get 3 more charges per burst, or making craters, or even a cluster charge

A solution which they will probably implement in the near future is that they will probably make a merge version of a regular mortar. As of what it might be, I'm going with an artillery mortar. It would fire artillery shots which would have 100% accuracy. It might fire just one shot at a time but it would obviously deal more damage than the regular mortar, also still dealing splash damage.

I think rather than making them do more dmg I hope next update they can make mortar fuse together by 2 and the special ability is Mortar special ability 1: When enemy is in its range the longer there's an enemy the faster mortar attacks (more like the little prince of clash royale) Or Mortal ability 2: When mortar hit an enemy it will do 1.5x the dmg more per hit. This is strong against tanks that were slow or those who Queen charge since the longer the mortar Keeps hitting the troops the more dmg it will deal (the ability is called outburst) Or Mortar ability number 3: The troops that get hit by mortar will receive new effect called "Dizziness" where when troops get inflicted by it the troops will be weakened dmg and health (10% more dmg taken or more) which makes troops vulnerable. Or Mortar ability number 4: (SUPER CHARGE - every 2 hit the next hit will do a massive dmg plus knock back probably 3X dmg)

I think it would be a good change if they made the mortar shoot a fragmented shot at Th11+. Like a shot that blows up midair and does damage in a large circular area

All mortar should be multi at higher Th’s also a bit increased range with quick reload …that would fix it fairly as it’s still one of the best defence for Flame Flinger (just keep them at close to corners, not too close otherwise it will be easy to chip-out).

I think the best way to do it is making optional upgrade, kind of how we could choose which potion on the potion trap. Set it as optional in which: a. have increased damage, a homing feature and remove the minimum range penalty but reducing 1 range b. ability to target air troops c. increased range and splash range with homing feature This is just idea tho, some might tweak it to make it more balance imho

I just thoughbof something...maybe we could 1)change the mortar into something like a midieval like artillery that damage is air troops or 2) change the ammunition to make it so after the hit it will have a second hit like a fireworks dealing more area splash but lass damage 3)i know this will be a more different defense but at the certain level we could change the mortar 4) Subterranean Thumper! This innovative defense launches explosive charges that erupt from beneath the ground, dealing splash damage to enemy troops and slowing their movement. Watch as their advance falters and formations crumble under the Thumper's disruptive power. One thing is after it locks down to an enemy its full straight hit or miss and has a bigger splash radius but slower in term of reloading

I remember the mortars being devastating for barch back in the day and I think they added the 4th mortar just to combat overuse of barch. This mightve been combined with being able to use 2 lightning spells to take out 1 mortar making barch that much more powerful. Its been 10 years since then so I may have forgotten another key reason

Mortal shell should get faster and faster as you level it up, similar to wizard tower, at first levels it has the same problem as mortar but as you level up, fire balls become faster and faster. Also make damage upgrade more drastic, instead of 4-6 damage increase or whatever make it like 10-14 like so at the max town hall it has like 240 damage instead of 60. ( 60 hp is not enough to one shot archers btw )

@bigfella23729

3 ай бұрын

it shoots every five seconds so it doesn’t do 60 damage per shot at th16, it does 5x the dps every shot, so 12 dps which is around level 6 does 60 damage per shot

I think the mortar should have some sort of air mortar ability whenever an air troop reaches the inner radius of the range. Imagine u have a baby dragon going up to a mortar and when it reaches the small radius where the actual mortars range stops, the air mortars kick in and do some extra damage to air troops (but only in the radius inside the real radius). I think this would bring back the mortar, and also be pretty cool having its own little air defence system attached to it. The actual “air mortar” shouldn’t do too much damage. Maybe the same amount of damage per hit as an air defence, but has the same hit speed as the mortar.

super underrated chanel, thx for your videos :)

I think a good buff for mortar would either be adding knock-back to any troop, working more or less like a support defence, or making it preview the troop aimed by speed and target and then shoot at were it is supposed to be, but I think the first option is more viable.

Seeing as how they added the multi archer tower and ricochet cannon I think they could add a seeking morter that shoots like 4 consecutive shots that seek out and hit the target faster and with more damage

i think a way to save the mortar would be add the goblin mortar like in clash royal. Keep accuracy and damage the same except there’s goblins that will attack. That would be a good buff because goblins always landing near the attacking troops would add a distracting factor that would mess up an enemy’s attack

I actually think bomb towers are an extension of mortars. I think they were added in late as a reaction to seeing the weaknesses of the mortar.

Maybe SUPERCELL can make a merge version of the mortar in a later update for Clash of Clans. Where it can fire multiple rounds that target multiple troops at a time.

before supertroops was introduced, mortars was nightmare for my wallbreakers. and now is my flameflinger's turn

Mortars used to feel like the eagle artillery, it fell off so hard

The builder base mortar ay bh10 is brutal. If they do something like that at the homebase we would get so,e spice in it

Funny how a cannon, archer tower and x bow does no damage to a queen walk until a mortar is firing too.

I think the next Merged Defense is going to be a small Rocket Artillery. Only way to "buff" the mortar without giving it stats and may solve the current issue with Air defenses being sniped by Giant Arrow (You can still snipe the 2 non-merged Air defenses)

I feel like the mortar is irrelevant now at higher town hall levels but I do feel like it still is a key component of a base because it can help with clean up on weaker troops to finish them off so the stronger defenses can focus on the main troops

Man I remember the good old times where the mortar was the make it or break it of your defense..... I remember just trying to take down the mortar first as soon as possible and the goblin map M comme mortar was giving me so much trouble.... Good ol' times

An added effect would be making it retarget if theres more enemies in its range, to make it balanced, if there's 10 giants in its range while theres also 9 wizards, it would target the giants since its more, its the opposite if there was less giants

A buff to the motars are adding spells to them Like giving mortals a freeze spell whenever it lands a hit but it cycles through every 3 hits.

The Mortar is literally the last defense that I upgrade before moving on to the next townhall level, I only upgrade it for the looks of it, nothing else

Turning the mortar into the builder base lava launcher with its ramp up damage could be a pretty cool upgrade. Otherwise, it's fine how it is. I don't want to deal with yet another splash defense that can melt healthy troops like the eagle artillery, scattershot, townhall, etc.

Maybe a direct hit mechanic would be a good buff? Like if hitting inly a single unit deal bigger damage ir something

this is the reason mortars are my last priority in terms of defensive building upgrades on my village

They should just make the mortar's favorite target be siege machines and give it a damage bonus towards them since mortars in higher townhalls are usually just flameflinger counters

I thing what they could change is to make it better acuracy like shorter projectile travel time, still only shoot on ground troops but if air troops are where ground troopd are getting hit than it should also dmg the air ones

I think a good fix would be a rework where it becomes more like actual unguided artillery give it a much faster fire rate and a slide buff to its rant and damage but make it much less acurate.

mort should just get some kind of burn damage at the later levels and it would probably be fixed, because it was always a ground defense it wouldnt even change anything really for air strats

Just make it so you can gear up all 4 mortars and then add a second gear up which is like a weaker version of the magma/lava launcher from builder base. The lava launcher could be a merged mortar Or give the mortars knockback (and maybe still allow to gear up all 4 mortars so it's 4 multi mortars with knockback)

Great vid, you earned a sub

The mortar is a very important defense after th14 because the flame flinger was added which outranged almost every defense except x-bows and mortars. Mortars are the most important defense at keeping the flame flinger balanced.

I suggest they buff the mortar by first increasing the damage it deals, but at town hall 12, they should turn the projectiles into a trio of fire spirits rather than a rock, because that is when weaponized town halls and siege machines are unlocked. Then they can add lore to the mortar ‘inspiring’ the design of the flame flinger. Hope this works out to really buff the mortar. (PS: they could make the projectiles of the mortar to something other than rocks at lower th levels. 😊

Fix idea: Spell infusion update. You can buff your defenses with various spells for various effects. Poison mortar: Would leave poison aoe on the ground that would deal damage over time. Freeze mortar: Would slow down the troops that it hit and then redirect to other troops. Lightning mortar: Would create small lightning effects that would deal increased damage and target troops.

Also to make it more balanced it would require you to use a spell to change the properties of mortar. Once changed it would stay this way until changed again. However you are not getting that spell back even if you revert mortar to the regular setting.

Im a th 9, and i use weird attacks to have fun. I use ground attacks with wizards and other things, and the mortars usually hammer my wizards in. I usually dont bring too many heal spells.

Speaking before Th16 expansion update. I see a bright future for the mortar if supercell adds a combined building mortar like they did with cannons and AT. Maybe this new building will make the mortar a reliable defense again

rn mortars biggest use is to counter flame flingers but ppl just use 1 barb to tank and take it out

1. In builder base, there are still plenty of small unit troops used in game. Cannon carts, Dropships, Night witches, etc. are quite afraid of multi mortar. And there are no splash AOE defense that has that much range, making the multi mortar unique. However, In home village, so much more defenses can perform the same as mortar. Multi inferno, TH defense, Scattershot, EA... Can do multimortar's job. And there are too many high hp troops in home village. Even super bowlers, root riders or valkyries have decent hp to tank the shot. 2. You can see many bases that put mortar on the outermost side. This also proves how useless mortar is.

The free training hurt it more. Back then at th9 i use a lot of barcher and hunt full collector base only. Now that everything is free might as well go full dragon

just make the mortar hits give troops some kind of debuffs such as healing speed -30%, attack speed -20%, then lower bit of dps

I think the biggest thing working against the mortar and really players in general is the amount of "new" ways to attack are just way too strong for most defenses to stand a chance. With the warden's attack block ability and freeze and heal spells the focus is more on how people attack and nothing for how to defend. A fundamental update that reworks the functions of defenses needs to be put into place or the game will feel too off balance, ironic since supercell are all about "balance" having blogposts and official art showing the barbarian and multiple weights.

I think a way they could combat the mortar becoming irrelevant is to give it a 'preferred' troop to shoot where it would target swarm troops and only shoot other troops when there were no swarm troops in range. It would make it more of a threat and make it more difficult to counter.

I wanna see the mortar get a combination where is basically becomes the lava launcher from the builder base

The only thing more useless now is traps and air traps. Except maybe the seeking air mine and skeletons/tornado for delaying

"MORTAR IS A USELESS DEFENSE" Meanwhile Flameflinger be like: *I fear no man, But that thing.... (Stares at Mortar) it scares me*

the "irrelevance" of walls ultimately affected mortars in general, if you cant keep your enemies at mortars attack range then they are truly not that useful.

Now the mortar's only use is against a flame flinger. I think if they just made the speed projectile a bit faster so it wouldn't miss against any target that isn't slow moving (even barbarian king walking can outpace the shot lol) that'd be better. Or maybe it's like that so it intentionally hits targets behind the tanks? I have no idea but it sucks

After TH7 mortar just started the downfall and on TH9 and TH10 it just died and when it go geared up,it just really didn't do much because by the town hall u can do it, it's range was same but just did a bit more damage...

I would love to see a merged mortal with all 4 mortars in a 4x4 building with decent damage and multitarget support and nearly as big of range like the eagle thing Maybe also a merged super wizard tower that gets rid of all wizard towers

it is the eagle artillery till th5 then it slowly loses relevancy till th11 and then it has just 1 purpose: try to damage the flame flinger

I believe in the next town hall you will be able to merge mirrors similar to merging the archer towers and cannons

I've learnt this too late but upgrading the mortars is a mistake after th10. To make this worse, they are one of the most expensive things to upgrade

mortar is one of the 2 defenses that can attack flame flinger or even outrange it beside of course eagle artilery thats why people put them outside to counter that but again a tank is enough to hold that damage

Mortar should have a stun effect kinda like in clash royale also when higher lvl it should shoot goblins like the morter evulotion in clash royale and maybe can splash to air

The mortars are honestly nice still.. they just need more buffs and more accuracy.. if not, then maybe all mortars should be geared up so that they can miss less.. the Eagle Artillery and Scattershots are like the more advanced and powerful version of the mortar lol but I think the mortar still has a place in the game.. just need those extra buffs

Amazing video!!👏🏽

I mean it's still a counter for flame flinger. So that's something. It doesn't do much but it does shoeten it's lifespan quite a bit to the point where it might not reach a key defence in it's vicinity

they should make an option to turn the mortar into a flak cannon for air defense as well as letting all mortars be geared up at the same time

I am sure the best change for Mortar it to add a stun effect whose duration increases from upgrading.

Maybe they should add in 2 extra hidden teslas and give the option to combine 1 max mortar and 1 max tesla, have it so the mortar acts the same but w each shot it creates an electrical shock wave/area of effect that can impact ground and air, also make it do a 0.25 second stun w each hit (so it can be a counter to e drags/inferno drags/super miners). So you could have 2 electro mortars

Make them shoot flaming shells that linger fire on the ground that deal damage over time, like the flame flinger and lava launcher

Here's an idea for TH17: Merge 1 mortar and 1 cannon to make a Giant Cannon like in the builder base. Or maybe merge 2 mortars to make a super mortar similar to Lava Launcher.

They should make it where after townhall 8 u upgrade the mortar and due to the mortar ball being in fire as well, the mortar leaves a ring of fire which deals extra damage.

Since the release of combine of cannon and archer. Cannons have ricochet, archers has multi hit, so what should mortar get without getting in the way of Eagle artillery or Scattershot? Cluster bomb is my suggestion, every shot creates 6-8 more explosions, dealing even more dmg

I remember that I used to fear a mortar at th4 and change opponents till any of them hadn't built it but now I only care about x bows and inferno as s th9

I agree, mortar is very useless when u upgrade high th like th12, some times u met a mass of electro dragon or electro-balloon. And another example in th 7 u kind of met a mass of dragon makes the mortar useless while making air defense strong

Change mortar to ground and air targeting. Reduce dps but give mortar a damage multiplier against ground troops.
