'''Phayze''', titled '''The Reality Warper''', is a [[Boss Bloon]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'', introduced in [[Bloons TD 6 ~~v38~~.0|version 38.0]]. It is the fifth Boss Bloon added to ''BTD6'' and the second new boss following [[Lych]].

'''Phayze''', titled '''The Reality Warper''', is a [[Boss Bloon]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'', introduced in [[Update history:Bloons TD 6/Version 38.0|version 38.0]]. It is the fifth Boss Bloon added to ''BTD6'' and the second new boss following [[Lych]].

Phayze's boss battle focuses on [[Camo detection]] and moving Bloons closer to the exit. It has the properties of a [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloon]] and periodically uses its Radar Jam ability to restore its Camo property if it is lost, temporarily disable [[tower buff]]s that grant [[Camo detection]], move nearby Bloons ahead, and give those Bloons the Camo property. Its Reality Shield gives it additional health and increases its speed until it is destroyed. Each time it loses a skull, it restores its Reality Shield, gains a brief speed boost, and spawns a portal that moves the spawning position for other Bloons. After the first skull, it also starts emitting an aura that slows all [[tower]]s on-screen, which gets stronger with each skull. At higher tiers, it has more health, its shield has more health, and it moves faster while shielded. '''Elite Phayze''' has even more health, moves even faster while shielded, slows nearby towers more, and its slow aura gets more powerful at higher tiers.

=== General ===

Phayze has the [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo]] property, granting it immunity from all attacks that cannot target Camo Bloons. Phayze's Camo property can be removed by any attacks that normally remove Camo; Phayze will be enveloped in a glowing red and blue aura to indicate its Camo being inactive.

===Reality Shield===

Phayze starts each encounter with a '''Reality Shield'''. The health of the shield is equal to 25% of its maximum health for the current tier, including the extra health from [[Co-op (BTD6)|Co-op]] (meaning it also gains 20% more health per additional player). While the shield is active, Phayze moves significantly faster. The shield regenerates at each skull.

The health of the shield is equal to 25% of its maximum health for the current tier, including the extra health from [[Co-op (BTD6)|Co-op]] (meaning it also gains 20% more health per additional player), with the exception of Elite Tier 5, where it's instead slightly more. While the shield is active, Phayze moves significantly faster. The shield fully regenerates at each skull.

===Radar Jam===

Every 24 seconds, Phayze triggers its '''Radar Jam''' ability, which has the following effects:

*All [[tower buff]]s that grant [[Camo detection]] ([[Radar Scanner (BTD6)|Radar Scanner]], [[Etienne (BTD6)#UAV|UAV]], [[See Invisibility Potion]], etc, except the [[Essence Of Phayze]] ~~artifact~~) are disabled for 12 seconds, indicated by a glitching Camo Bloon icon above affected towers.

*All [[tower buff]]s that grant [[Camo detection]] ([[Radar Scanner (BTD6)|Radar Scanner]], [[Etienne (BTD6)#UAV|UAV]], [[See Invisibility Potion]], [[Ascended Shadow]], etc, except the [[Essence Of Phayze]] and [[One Monkey Army]] artifacts) to non-Paragons are disabled for 12 seconds, indicated by a glitching Camo Bloon icon above affected towers.

*Phayze regains its Camo property if it has been removed, and it cannot be removed for 12 seconds afterwards.

===Slow aura===

Upon reaching the first skull, Phayze gains a slow aura that reduces the attack speed of all towers on-screen, including [[Paragon]]s. This aura lasts for the rest of the current encounter and becomes stronger at each subsequent skull reached.

Upon reaching the first skull, Phayze gains a slow aura that reduces the attack speed of all towers on-screen, including [[Paragon]]s. This aura lasts for the rest of the current encounter and becomes stronger at each subsequent skull reached. Elite Phayze will additionally gain a stronger slow aura with every tier.

===Boss Rush===

===[[Boss Rush]]===

{{~~Incomplete|Elaborate more specifics of~~ Boss Rush ~~variant of Phayze}}~~

~~In [[Boss Rush]],~~ Phayze starts with 300 HP, and scales its health by +6.5% every tier. Phayze's shield starts with 100 HP, and scales its health by +6.5% every tier. Phayze moves at the same speed at all tiers, which is a speed value of 0.5 (0.02x red). While shielded, Phayze moves 30% faster at all tiers. Radar Jam cooldown starts at 32 seconds and is reduced by a rate of 0.5% every tier until the minimum cooldown of 3.84 seconds is reached. Every 10 tiers defeated, the portal is created or moved. Players begin with $2000 (+$200 with {{BTD6 mk|More Cash}}~~, +$250 with [[Starting Stash]]).~~

==Strategy==

Phayze is a unique boss that harms concentrated defenses with its Warp ability and severely weakens towers without innate Camo detection. Camo support (e.g. [[Radar Scanner (BTD6)|Radar Scanner]] and Level 8+ [[Etienne (BTD6)|Etienne]]) and decamo (e.g. [[Cleansing Foam (BTD6)|Cleansing Foam]], [[Submerge and Support (BTD6)|Submerge and Support]]) are invalidated by Radar Jam half of the time, making them fall short of ensuring the viability of towers without innate Camo.

In addition, regular Bloon spawns can pose great danger past Round 128, especially in Least Cash and Least Tiers. The late spawning point, plus the pulls from Radar Jam, will put Bloons very close to the exit, making leaks a constant threat. Fortified ZOMGs (or their children) and Fortified DDTs can easily make their way to the exit form this position. Threatening rounds with Fortified ZOMGs are 129, 131, 132, 133 and 135, and Fortified DDTs will appear in 128, 130, 135 and 138, necessitating additional defense or clever ability timing.

For [[Boss Rush]], Phayze is manageable with towers that naturally detect Camo and focus on Boss damage, such as 0-3-2 [[MOAB SHREDR (BTD6)|MOAB SHREDR]]. Since early camo detection is expensive, the early-game is slow without [[Sauda (BTD6)|Sauda]]'s Leaping Sword to quickly pop early stages. Conventional Phayze damage such as [[M.A.D (BTD6)|M.A.D]] remains optimal. [[Adora (BTD6)|Adora]] could assist 3-0-2 [[Sun Avatar (BTD6)|Sun Avatar]] armies if Phayze is popped fast enough with useful anti-Boss Relics.
