Backstory
The Egg Mortar is artillery with an egg-based sense of humour. It lobs a shell high into the air, lets gravity do the aiming, and drops it exactly where the flock is thickest — because when you have one shell and a crowd, you don’t aim at a chicken, you aim at the argument.
Big splash. That is the entire doctrine. The shell doesn’t need to hit anything in particular; it needs to land in the middle of the clump and let the explosion introduce itself. The flock has a name for the moment the shell appears overhead: run. It rarely works. The mortar has already done the maths.
Its weakness is honest — the shell is slow, and movers can dodge. The flock that spreads out survives; the flock that bunches up pays tuition. Armour Piercing Rounds make the boom heavier, Rapid Fire keeps the shells coming, and Bigger Bangs makes every landing a bigger conversation. Pair it with the Confetti Cannon and Festival of Boom adds +30% blast radius — because the farm believes in over-delivering on weather.
What it’s good at
Big splash into clumps — the flock’s least favourite weather.
Weakness
Slow shell can miss movers
Power-ups & upgrade paths
📈 Perks that boost it
Armour Piercing Rounds, Rapid Fire, Bigger Bangs
⚡ Festival of Boom
Place next to The Confetti Cannon: The confetti cannon spots for the mortar: +30% blast radius.
🔱 SUPER fusion
Eight of this defence fuse into one SUPER unit — x10 damage and double lifetime. Only one SUPER on the board at a time; extra sets feed it to power it up.
🔧 Upgrades & buffs
Hover a tower and press U for +25 seconds of lifetime per level. Overclock boosts all damage and fire rate by 50% for 25 seconds, and when the door drops below 15% HP every tower fires 25% faster. Press H for buff mode — towers beside a SUPER boost it 5% each.
Durability
💥 Smash hits
8 hits before it falls apart. 8 smash hits and the mortar stops lobbing.
🍗 Who smashes it
Demolition Drumsticks take 50–75% of a structure’s max HP per swing, and Heavy Metal Chickens and Bureaucrat Elites knock things down too.
☢️ Friendly fire
Your own Nuke and explosive chain reactions don’t care whose side it’s on — keep fragile towers out of the blast radius.
