Strong and weak against
Cluster Mortar deals fire damage. Fire beats nature, nature beats water and water beats fire.
- Strong against nature creeps (1.5× damage): Scout, Swarmling, Howlrunner and Thornwarden.
- Weak against water creeps (0.5× damage; bosses still take 0.75×): Bat, Regenerator, Rimeshroud and Stormwake.
- Neutral creeps take its normal damage.
- It targets flyers first when any are in range (Bat, Dragon Lord, Wyvern and Stormwake): flyers ignore the maze, so this is the race's answer to the sky.
- Against ground creeps it deals 50% of its damage; flyers take it in full.
- Armour cuts its damage: Siegebreaker 42%, Armored 35%, Thornwarden 30% and The Furnace Colossus 15%.
