How to Play Mortar

A safe Mortar can reveal the opponent’s answer, but constant offensive placement is not always necessary. Defensive Mortars create positive exchanges and prepare the next rotation.

Pressure the opposite lane when the opponent spends heavily to stop Mortar. Protect it selectively and rely on the deck’s secondary damage plan when a direct lock is unrealistic.

Practical tips

  • Use defensive Mortars when the matchup demands patience.
  • Pressure away from expensive counters.
  • Do not overspend protecting every Mortar.

  • Can pressure from a safe distance.
  • Works with several secondary win conditions.

Mortar weaknesses
