What this deck is

Mortar Siege is a siege shell built around Mortar, Rune Giant. It sits at 3.6 elixir, which sets how often you can repeat its pressure and how much you can afford to defend before answering back.

How it wins

The pressure this deck applies, strongest angle first.

  • Siege — the tower is attacked from your side of the bridge.
  • Tank pressure — a heavy push the opponent has to answer with a full defence.
  • Bridge spam — fast units that punish an opponent mid-placement.

Where it breaks

Structural weak points read off the deck's own shell, not off a single matchup.

  • No dominant structural weakness — this shell covers its own gaps, so its losses come from matchups and piloting rather than a missing answer.
