Dragon's Breath is the Wizard Monkey's path 2 tier 3 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. In addition to improved Fireballs and Walls of Fire, the Wizard gains a flame attack that does 2 Fire damage with 3 pierce, with an attack cooldown of 0.135 seconds. Flames apply a burn damage-over-time effect that deals 1 damage every 1.5 seconds, and lasts for 3.1 seconds. With 
Flame Jet, projectile speed is increased by 50%.
The fireball attack now produces 3 fireballs per shot instead of 1, spread in a 60° angle. Its explosions deal 3 damage and have a larger radius, but doesn't affect the damage of the initial hit. The wall of fire attack has its cooldown reduced from 6.5 to 4.5 seconds, with blazes that have 20 pierce (instead of 10), and its tick rate and pierce refresh interval are both reduced from 0.15 to 0.1 seconds.
In addition to crosspathing benefits from Wall of Fire, Dragon's Breath receives the following crosspath benefits:
- Guided Magic doubles lifespan of the fiery breath and allows it to ignore obstacles, but Arcane Blast doesn't affect it.
- Intense Magic grants +2 pierce (total of 5) to the fiery breath, and double projectile speed (125 to 250).
