A good example for what to do is the necromancer, when it spawns skeletons that could make the towers attack them, allowing the necromancer to spawn more skeletons, while if you had the mortar it would easily take care of the skeletons, making it easier for your other towers to deal with it, this has made me lose lots of times and necromancers make me think to bring something like a mortar, which the traditional wave structure doesn’t do

i remember the time when shields were introduced along with the templar and the only way to combat them was either high fire rates or explosions which bypassed the shield which made towers such as pursuit and rocketeer to pretty much be an essential part of a loadout if you wanted to kill the templar quickly for things such as hidden wave

I think mortar falls into the kind of tower you use "for fun" Like why would you use g crook boss if other golden towers are better? Because golden crook boss is fun to use. Mortar is fun because you see it shred armies of breakers. Mortar is not the kind of towers you bring solo,the best way to use them is just go into a random match,people will already have things such as accels and engis to really defend,while you can just have fun with your mortar.

Gold body guards are still effected by ROF bug 10. Gold crook boss guards lost their spawn delay but another bug came in which made the spawn timer run even when gold crook boss spawned its max units 11. Gold crook boss spawn timer resets every time you upgrade it 12. Gold crook boss units animations broken causing to to stop and then shoot instead of just shooting 13. Gold crook boss units speed reduced 1 day after the gold body guards were added 14. Gold crook boss limited changed back to 4 15. Gold crook boss minions limit reduced from infinite to 6 16. Due to new ui changed the timer runs after the max unit limit is spawned instead of staying at 0 (same as violent night spawn ui) 17. Crook boss can spawn 1 unit (levels 1-2) 18. Crook boss can spawn 2 units on level 3 19. Max crook boss dps decreased on max 72-62 20. Crook boss can only spawn 3 units on max level 1.

This video clears a lot of things up for me and has a lot of agreeable points. My friend and I have been looking for new games to play and finally came back to roblox after a year or so and were immediately attracted to the Polluted Wastelands and Pizza Party levels because of the challenge it gave us VS the standard maps. This is really something because we are VERY PICKY with games and will game hop often, the fact that we were given something to think about and strategize gave us motivation to continue playing, we couldn’t walk away knowing “I couldn’t beat this” our pride wouldn’t let us! I’m saying all this to say, YES, TDS definitely needs to provide these changes to mortar and rework the mobs because without the alternative levels we would have probably stayed away from this game too. 😅 Nonetheless, this video was well spoken and informative, you’ve just earned yourself another subscriber. 🎉

[@syn5570]

A good way to make explosion/aoe based towers have an actual purpose is that there's enemies that has multiple phases yet has low hp, if your single targets are too preoqupied with the enemies with multi-phases, its gonna make the aoes have a much better purpose.

The thing is, the player base if made of kids, kids arnt that smart, and would say the game is too hard and quit. Adding strategy would be nice none the less but calling mortar useless is… hurtful… it’s not useless it’s just there’s other ways you could do it. Maybe if they add a new game mode idk, it is what it is. And this video sounds like it’s VERY WELL trying to dis mortar but mortar is really good and I know it’s just the harsh reality. But, it does exceptionally well on things that single target things struggle with but can pass. That’s enough for me

[@fulmine1412]

Tds definitely needs to change the amount of enemies coming every wave, that way other towers will be able to do better than others, but I wouldn't just change that, I'd also add some new enemies to normal game modes like lead and flying enemies so that other towers who can damage them like mortar will find more time to be used

[@slappyjo1046]

Yeah but mortar does more damage than max turrets if you check. It is definitely an endgame tower.

[@awesomeness3145]

You make a really good point here in this video. I think maybe accelerator and engineer were rebalanced for a good reason and towers like rocketeer and mortar got buffed so the devs can encourage people to use other towers in their loadout.

[@sandymatteson9811]

There is really good point in this video then why did I find proof that this isn't good evidence like it all you want me to tell you okay it's way less expensive to use mortar then minigunners and he's example earlier mini gunners and the last upgrade he needed to get rid of the breakers was $9,000 more than what you would need for the mortar and the upgrades you need to defend against a bunch of breakers so where's the point and that's the last upgrade of the minigunner only which is more expensive than the mortars and price with how it would cost to get enough upgrades to defend against a bunch of breakers and she was using mini gunners and mortars against breakers and he had to get a $9,000 upgrade it to defend against AND ALSO JUST READ THE ENTIRE OKAY THEN YOU GET MY POINT DO IT!

[@ruli6871]

Mortar still sucks for the time required

[@awsomesaharsh9906]

another point is that ace pilot (an easier to get tower) could replace mortar as it has crowd control and can do single target damage so if you want a mortar to use in a slot you could use an ace

This also makes more players wanna grind the game more which brings more players to the game.

[@ausroks9138]

This chunk of text is about my spitball on how different enemies could be implemented to encourage the use of towers like the mortar and rockater. What about a concept on horde enemies, that negates a set amount of damage, not a percentage, like changing the purple breakers shield from 35% to 6-10 damage, meaning that individual damage like the mini gunner, whose damage only really caps at 4, negates damage done to the enemies. Then the breakers from the original purple breakers could have an effect where they negate 4-6, then 2-4 and 1-2, This would encourage higher damage, slower fireate playthrough, which is ideal for the mortar and rocketer tower, and even the Demoman at a high level, and the idea of breakers would encourage higher damage, slower fireate, and splash damage, as individual damage in large bursts best highlighted by rangers, would fail to counter the multiplication of breakers after they die. It's like the crystal enemy's from tower blitz, to integrate this idea into Normal, Molten and Fallen would drastically change the meta, because this would completely negate mini gunner as an all-round tower, which is prized for its versatility, and is arguably the sole reason why it's so popular with mid-level players before they can obtain accelerator. To introduce a less radical concept that would be better suited towards a general balance of individual DPS towers, breakers could have the ability to only be damaged by certain attacks, such as the lead zombies from hardcore mode, whereas they can only be damaged by fire, explosions and attacks, but negate bullets. This idea would not be effective in balancing towers like engineer, or accelerator, but would give more utility to players around the lvl 75 range. A change that could be made to fix this issue would be to raise the amount of damage the breakers can take without taking damage, but this would ultimately lead to an overpowered enemy, therefore the same concept could be applied to zombies with very low base HP health. e.g a medium-moving, small tower with low levels of HP, but can only be damaged by a certain amount of damage that is over a set amount, imagine a tankeir zombie, a normal green one from Molten mode, with a HP of 10, that has a 15 damage block, meaning that only towers that do 15 damage per individual hit can damage the tower. (complete hypothetical). or maybe after that amount of damage is enforced on the zombie, (15 damage) the level drops down 1, of course appling until the damage block is lower than the damage being delt per individual hit, meaning the hypothetical health would span out for individual target towers making then deal with more health, while towers such as the mortar or rocketer would have less hypothetical health to damage.

[@josardoleon6894]

The game doesn't need such big changes, only increased and decreased dmg against enemies with defense, in a way that mini can only do 1 dmg to breakers defense, and increased dmg against defense on some towers like ranger, splash dmg towers don't really need extra dmg against defense since they alr ignore it.

In btd6 the paths intersect sometimes so if some easy maps had intersecting paths it could make the mortar more effective.

[@reconsider3735]

Adding on to this, what is the hardest challenge in every major mode? The final boss, a high health, singular enemy that has a lot if attacks that punish killing them slowly. The game needs more difficulty spikes land in general needs to be more difficult. The only mode that the final boss isn't a massive difficulty spike on is probably pizza party, and second fallen. When you know the hardest bit of the mode is a high health singular enemy, this greatly discourages the use of the mortar as it won't help out at THE HARDEST PART OF THE MODE. I think the difficulty of most of the bosses is fine, jt is just the mode leading up to the boss that needs buffing.

[@porkchopguy1993]

The three main game modes, easy, molten and fallen need to be completely reworked. The wave structure for the latter has remained nearly unchanged for 3 years and the others are in shambles in both gameplay and balancing. Mechanics such as shields which gave a use to low damage per hit and explosive towers and made you think about what you had to bring have been removed. On top of that new powerful towers keep getting added and/or rebalanced like Engi, accelerator pursuit and golden mini. Those towers and similar ones remove any challenge from molten and fallen. To fix this more hordes of enemies could be added and maybe have enemies spawn naturally on top of each other instead of x amount of moltens then x amount of slow bosses. The last time the game modes were significantly changed was all the way back in 2020 in the Overhaul Update before we had the entity system which now allows the game to handle massive hordes. The breakers already prove it’s possible. If anyone has anything else to add or would like to correct me on any inaccuracies feel free to leave a reply.

[@scientificmatthew1351]

The devs should seriously rework all 3 gamemodes because it’s getting boring playing the exact same wave structure again. Or maybe they should add modifiers that you can equip or unequip for increased rewards and challenges.

If TDS does that its actually going to include lots of strategy with the hard enemies unlike Tower Heroes. Tower Heroes and Critical Tower Defense are unique with having to beat a mode to unlock a tower. It would be more reasonable to grind, to complete an index of towers. But TDS, it just stays simple. Tower Heroes is the most unique out of all. With having to beat maps for skins or towers, with having different maps, different bosses. Tower Defense really needs to understand. Even Tower Heroes has a mode called 'Casual Mode' which makes it like the TD games where what map you choose, it always the same bosses. I also didn't forget about Pixel Gun Tower Defense. Sandbox is a way to easily test towers without having a chance to die. What is more strange is that TDS is made by a lot of people but Tower Heroes is just made by 2 people and technically 4 if you count the 2 people that make music for Tower Heroes. And in Tower Heroes its more sense to stack effects as its a way to shred the enemies. Tower Heroes can actually balance but just takes time. This is a problem with TDS where you just need 1 DPS tower to just win! Even though Tower Heroes is cartoonish, on April Fools Day they made a skin for classic TD fans which made the towers roblox avatars. The best thing about Tower Heroes is that theres a reason to play and grind. With Weekly challenges and daily challenges that give coins, - just like Tower Blitz - Mimics which spawn randomly in rounds that give coins when you lose or win. Followers and Morphs which you have to grind for to become or have an enemy. You have to win at a certain mode and boss then buy it! Tower Heroes understand a more reasonable grind. It even makes every tower useful in some way because it depends on how used you are on the tower and makes thing Balanced. Discount Dog decreases upgrade price but also decreases damage, Spectre increases damage but also increases upgrade price. Balloon Pal Increases range but decreases attack rate. Supports will still get balances and not be too overpowered single. Thats the problem with TDS, Commander will always be used with no downsides. Certain towers have mechanics like splash damage, area damage and return damage. Crowds are instead controlled by these special damages instead of just exploding. Tower Heroes also makes it show its current damage. If TDS and Tower Heroes fused it would be the best TD game. If you disagree about all of this then feel free to trash talk about it and me making a comeback at your dumb little trash talk. But seriously TDS is just boring!

Cant wait for the 4th revamp for the mortar.

[@Lyxfinity]

one thing they should do with the mortar is give it the ability to fire a gun so whenever he is reloading he has a pistol in the other hand with 1.5 firerate and 10 damage it would be so much more valued and maybe raise the spawn limit up to 5

[@djkeyk1]

The devs 1 year after while making the fallen rework: *taking notes*

[@im___fann5063]

the way how to fix mortar is to add lead enemies to every mode except normal and probably lead flying enemies to make sure accels and turrets wont be able to do that

[@nvs0p]

about the enemies part: true, but there are still a few problems with it: -pursuit would literally be meta -harder for people belo lvl 75. its molten, after all

Cool fact abt tds: when ypu level up the dj in level 3 or where you get the discount, or when you place it... it will have a uniqe range color, its purple and in the end of the circle, it has a like beats that will appear

[@KodiakBearThatComments]

I just think they could've just increased the base cost to, say, 600, increase some upgrade prices (except max level) give some more radius and maybe 2 cluster bombs 1 cluster bomb at level 3 and 2 at 5

[@Random_YouTuber434]

for the new event is kind of what he is talking about how the mortar need more of a reason to be used not just to be used for fun where it is needed due to the amount of enemy's there are during the later waves of the event that makes for the need for the mortar which is why most strats use the mortar it is essential to the plan if you want to win it helps against the crying angel and sleigh enemy's but most importantly the hordes that keep coming especially when Krampus the boss for the tds 2023 winter event summons and most of your dps towers like accel who lock on one enemy and stay on it till they die can shoot their missiles towards them and if they are at level 4 or maxed they drop extra bombs that do area damage not just single target which is why they are so helpful during the event but then again this event is only temporary not permanent so it's not the solution but a temporary fix.

[@SemlerCrafter]

wave 34 in badlands is the closest thing to wave 63

[@BicirikBey]

10:34 They can add a pistol. When there are no enemies close to each other it could start using the pistol.

[@NotNuggety]

An idea for mortar might be like an ability where they just summon a bunch of bombs at the enemies, making it a decent late game tower, but that’s just an idea

[@TheUmbraN0tG4ming]

Mortar is really good. Especially for special gamemodes

[@anthonyyyyyt6131]

1 update mortar: the explosion radius is so big that you can barely see the biggest enemy in the game but now on the 3third update the radius is just so bad that the rocketteer is almost as big as a literal nuke

[@anthonyyyyyt6131]

and also mortar's on the first update is almost one of the best tower in the game until the mega update just came out wich change 6 tower including the mortar

[@mariahreames1564]

I completely disagree. mortar is a amazing tower for badlands, pizza party, and polluted. if anything, if your on badlands, pizza party, or polluted wastelands, it would be in most cases better to bring mortar than minigunner. Ex: pizza party throws clusters of shotgunners in one spot. so mortar can deal up to around 800 damage in one shot. Badlands has three paths, meaning that inner sections of the paths mortar is able to deal around three times the damage a mortar on fallen would. polluted has the agomination. sure you would probably want a high damage tower to hit the agomination. but then all of the fleshlings would slip by. mortar would most likely not kill the agomination, but take out his fleshlings. mortar is not used very often in load outs, so if you did duo because its practicly impossible to beat polluted solo, its most likely that that other player has somthing like minigunner, accel, engi, ranger, turrent. I hope by reading this you notice that your opinion stinks.

[@GameHT604]

It literally used to have 60 damage, a tiny explosion radius, and 4.5 second fire rate

Elite just single handedly forgot the whole reason on the main point of an over killing defense. Thats the main purpose of the game. Its a strategy based game. You have to figure out what to do and not to do

[@zappyhype]

I think they should just make an update base on rebalancing the waves. Cuz rn is just mainly spamming slow bosses or fallens / moltens. I hope that they make more varieties to make the game actually challenging.

[@seth8270]

I can completely agree with u on this and it makes complete sense. Obviously some towers need balancing rn (mainly event towers) but it’s mainly the enemies the devs need to focus on. And yes tds is literally *the most popular tower defense game* rn getting more players than any other just because it’s more high quality and better than the others doesn’t mean and can’t have improvements. Honestly tho first the devs need to balance molten mode, normal mode, and I see y people want golden mode back survival needs more gamemodes. And not just special and hardcore. I think tds does the best with replay ability than most tower defense games cuz all the others get boring fast or just don’t know how to balance their towers right but tds kinda needs to balance their enemies rn
