What Does Mortar Do?
Mortar is a defensive building with extremely long range and area damage, capable of hitting ground troops and towers from across most of the arena. Its attack speed is slow, but each shot deals splash damage to anything near where it lands.
Its key limitation is a minimum range - like X-Bow, anything placed too close to Mortar is completely safe from its attacks, since it can't fire at targets within that dead zone.
Where Mortar Fits
He's the centerpiece of siege decks that want to attack the tower directly from behind defenses, using his extreme range to chip away at towers while other cards hold the front line.
How to Counter Mortar
A fast troop placed close to it can reach and destroy it before it can fire back, since anything within its minimum range is completely safe from its attacks.
