| Tower | Wizard Monkey — Path 3 — Tier 4 | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | $2,800 | |
Necromancer is the Wizard Monkey's path 3 tier 4 upgrade in Bloons TD Battles 2. The Wizard Monkey can summon undead Bloons on the track, which travel in reverse direction and damage Bloons they touch. Popped Bloons within 70 fixed range are collected in its graveyard, up to 450 units. Its graveyard counter is visible when the tower is selected.
Each undead Bloon summoning attack costs up to 18 units per attack, and distributes pierce equally among 1–5 undead Bloons. After round 30, each pop counts as 7–13 units. Undead Bloons deal 2 damage and damage all Bloon types. Wizard Monkey gains damage on all attacks except Wall of Fire for every 200 units present in the graveyard.
With Guided Magic, the Wizard gains new targeting option that alters the location where the Undead Bloons are deployed, defaulting to the furthest region of the path for sent Bloons. Once purchased, this option cannot be untoggled.
