'''Wall of Fire Monkey''' is [[Magic]] [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]''. It is a [[defender]] that gains +5 ATK during the opponent's [[turn]]. Additionally, when it is played, it sets the [[Bloon (BCS)|Bloon]] at the front of the opponent's Bloon track [[On Fire (BCS)|On Fire]].

The card artwork depicts a Wall of Fire Monkey doing a bold stance towards a thick blaze. The monkey holding its right arm forwards, and its right glove is glowing. The sky is dark, illuminated by the blaze. The in-game model shows the Wall of Fire Monkey holding an orb of fire if the monkey has ammo.

The placeholder card artwork depicts a Wall of Fire Monkey sitting on a log, holding a blaze over its right hand.

==Tips==

*Unlike most [[Defender|Defenders]], Wall of Fire Monkey has 1 delay. However, its [[Defender]] bonus is ~~only marginally better than its main ATK~~. ~~It's usually better for~~ it to ~~always~~ attack ~~Bloons each round~~.

*Unlike most [[Defender|Defenders]], Wall of Fire Monkey has 1 delay. However, its [[Defender]] bonus is fairly significant. Against a Bloon that will leak next turn, it is recommended to use the Defender bonus, otherwise just use its attack every turn (except if anticipating a 0 delay Bloon such as a [[Pink Bloon (BCS)|Pink Bloon]] or an OTK combo).

*For 1 more Gold, Wall of Fire Monkey does ~~the same~~ damage as [[Mine Supervisor]], if not counting the Defender bonus, while having no long-term utility. The burst of [[On Fire (BCS)|On Fire]] is decent versus a single slow-moving Bloon, but not much else. It can synergize with Gwendolin, however other cards that can set things [[On Fire (BCS)|on fire]] are almost always better.

*For 1 more Gold, Wall of Fire Monkey does 10 less damage than [[Mine Supervisor]], if not counting the Defender bonus, while having no long-term utility. The burst of [[On Fire (BCS)|On Fire]] is decent versus a single slow-moving Bloon, but not much else. It can synergize with Gwendolin, however other cards that can set things [[On Fire (BCS)|on fire]] are almost always better.

*Against early singular targets, [[Burny Stuff Mortar]] is better for applying [[On Fire (BCS)|On Fire]], while [[Fireball Wizard]] is better midgame because it can apply On Fire to any Bloon more than once. Both have better damage per turn than Wall of Fire as well~~. For this reason, Wall Of Fire is not reccomended in basically any deck~~.

*Against early singular targets, [[Burny Stuff Mortar]] is better for applying [[On Fire (BCS)|On Fire]], while [[Fireball Wizard]] is better midgame because it can apply On Fire to any Bloon more than once. Both have better damage per turn than Wall of Fire as well.

*The ability affecting the first Bloon in line often means the fire will not affect high delay Bloons if there are any Bloons other than high delay Bloons on the track.

*The On Play ability affecting the first Bloon in line often means the fire will not affect high delay Bloons if there are any Bloons other than high delay Bloons on the track.

*With the defender bonus and on play effect, it can pop [[Blooming Bloon (BCS)|Blooming Bloon]] even if boosted by [[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]]'s Passive Awesomeness ability but not if shielded by [[Amelia the Amazing (BCS)|Amelia]]'s Bloon Shield.

*Having up to 70 damage per turn but very low burst damage and being vulnerable to [[Whoops]], Wall of Fire Monkey is a mediocre anti aggro card with no anti tempo value.
