'''Summon Phoenix''' is the [[Wizard Monkey (BTD6)|Wizard Monkey]]'s path 2 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. ~~It grants~~ Wizard Monkey a Summon Phoenix [[Activated Ability|ability]] which summons a phoenix [[sub-tower]] for 20 seconds. The phoenix flies in a circle in the center of the screen, and attacks Bloons with flames that deal 5 [[damage]], have 8 [[pierce]], and an [[Attack ~~Cooldown~~|attack cooldown]] of 0.1 seconds. The phoenix has infinite range and ignores line-of-sight blockers~~. The phoenix's flames cannot damage [[Purple Bloon (BTD6)|Purple Bloons]]~~. This ability has a [[Ability Cooldown|cooldown]] of 45 seconds and an initial cooldown of 15 seconds.

This upgrade also ~~allows~~ Wizard ~~Monkey~~'s [[Dragon's Breath (BTD6)|dragon's breath]] attack ~~to fire 2~~ flames per shot instead of 1, with a ~~10 degree~~ spread.

This upgrade also improves the Wizard's [[Dragon's Breath (BTD6)|dragon's breath]] attack, firing two flames per shot instead of one, with a 10° spread. <section end="lede" />

Crosspathing interactions are identical to its predecessor, with extra benefits to the phoenix:

Summon Phoenix has a decent high-cost mid-game saveup that can carry most non-Purple rounds until Round 63, where the Phoenix can only partially handle up to 2 of its waves. The improved [[Dragon's Breath (BTD6)|Dragon's Breath]] is beneficial for quicker damage to single targets such as MOABs and BFBs, allowing the main Wizard to hold off longer against them before resorting to the Phoenix ability for handling global cleanup. However, both attacks fall off in the late-game, where it's mostly relegated to extra single-target damage.~~<!-~~-~~there was a geraldo rejuv 2x thing~~ with ~~phoenixes for boss events~~, ~~like some old metas previous had~~ been ~~doing, but why do that now when sporm exists and enjoys pierce buffs like mermonke-->~~

However, both attacks fall off in the late-game, where it's mostly relegated to extra single-target damage. Previously, it used to be a top-tier option with [[Geraldo (BTD6)|Geraldo]]'s [[Rejuv Potion]], but has since been superseded by [[Spike Storm (BTD6)|Spike Storm]] as the dominant synergizing target in [[Boss Bloon Event (BTD6)|Boss Event]]s.

Crosspathing is beneficial for the Summon Phoenix, mainly for its main attacks, but currently limited for the Phoenix ability. [[Guided Magic (BTD6)|Guided Magic]] aids accuracy of every attack and allows its main attacks to ignore Line of Sight, while [[Intense Magic (BTD6)|Intense Magic]] is the pierce crosspath for all but the Phoenix. [[Arcane Blast (BTD6)|Arcane Blast]] only affects the damage of the triple fireballs, which should be ignored if costs are a concern. [[Monkey Sense (BTD6)|Monkey Sense]] grants innate camo detection for the Phoenix as well as extra range for the main Wizard.
