    Mortar spam is ridiculous, my Build is cannon only and will not plan to change it.

    First of al, you need a turbo on your ship. Always keep moving. Then it's alot of practice. Don't put yourself in spots or situations where you're an easy target for mortars. And yeah, always keep moving. Also pay attention to the waves, the waves can either slow you down, or give you a small speed boost. Be sure to ride with the waves instead of against the waves when dodging mortars. And always keep moving.

    Yellow item.
    Ship must be in the middle of circle.
    Activate just before Mortar lands.
    Sends it right back to the spammer.

    In your videos you should also show self heal results. (By going in battle log and subtracting from what you got on the after battle results)

    Duct tape.... please fixers stop with duct tape and definitely with double duct tape , just quit the game if you play with double.
    Just follow the advice of Wishaal.

    Sorry, but I'm afraid they can't.
    Ignoring the obvious Blue and Yellow items, such as Turbo and Nitro, the best strategy for countering mortars is to be in spots where mortars can't hit you. Every map has at least one, plus another one if you can get into close range. From there, just counter all the torpedoes. When you master that, counter the snipers and missiles and you win!

    In reality, the only class that truly "counters" mortars are Speeders. They're the easiest ships to dodge mortars with and the easiest ships to close distance with. Enforcers come in at second place with their reverse acceleration and equal yellow slots. If you're not on either of those two ships, you don't have much of a choice other than Turbo and Bandage (or Duct Tape like the Fixer above). Shooters and Defenders rely on just killing their opponents rather than dodging, so the best counter if you're on either of those classes is to get under a roof and/or blow them to smithereens. This is made even easier if you bring your own mortar.

    Yes, they can.

    Whether or not they are effective is a different story.

    There's also the matter of what you can get banned for. Duct Tape spamming isn't one of them, but if I could ban for it I would!
