Summary
- The Scary Mortar is a Unique Building that appears exclusively during the Halloween Crab event.
- Scary Mortar has low DPS, but has a massive splash radius and disorients any troops/Critters on hit, causing them to ignore Flares and wander erratically for a few seconds.
- The Scary Mortar is considered a Prototype Defense, and as such, it is unaffected by Universal Remote.
Strategy
- The real threat posed by Scary Mortar is its ability to disorient units, causing them to walk into the range of other defenses or Mines, making it dangerous to any formation, as thanks to its high range, its projectiles can easily reach and catch them all in its AOE.
Appearance
- The Scary Mortar is very similar to the max-level mortar. It has a gray and orange steel frame resting on a darker metal base.
- The shell fired by the mortar resembles an orange pumpkin with a head.
- When the shell hits the ground, a purple cloud strongly resembling Dr. T appears over the battlefield.
Trivia
- This building has the second lowest damage per shot of all defenses.
- The Scary Mortar has a menacing laughter SFX played on projectile detonation.
- In prior versions, deploying additional Flares would nullify Scary Mortar's special ability on affected troops, though they can still be afflicted again.
- The Scary Mortar has the largest splash radius of all defenses at 8 tiles.
