Clash of Clans Mortar Ultimate Guide

In Clash of Clans you must bear in mind that a strong defense is as important as having an effective offence, and sometimes, it can be even more important.

Among the different types of buildings that Clash of Clans offers to place, we find the defensive buildings. These buildings can be used to protect your resources and safeguard trophies from enemy troops. You should place your defensive buildings in the right place, since not every defense works the same way; in fact each one has its own strengths and weaknesses. Now we are going to focus on the powerful Mortar.

Disadvantages of the Mortar

• They have a low rate of fire.

• The Mortar’s shell takes much time to recharge.

• Due to that, fast troops, such as Goblins can get close to it and destroy the Mortar.

• Air troops can’t be targeted by the Mortar.

Given these advantages and disadvantages you should try to place your Mortar in the center of your base, and if possible surrounded by Walls. This way, it can eliminate the attacking troops while they are quite far from it.
