~~{{Strategy needed}}~~

Wall of Fire is a solid Tier 2 that performs cleanup and general damage for a low cost. Place the Wizard close to the track at an intersection or tight bend, allowing the blaze to hit more sections of track. Its main weaknesses are Purples, which disintegrate the blazes, and its crosspaths trading off either increased lifespan or Camo detection. Wall of Fire is also a solid crosspath for many Wizard upgrades, including interactions with damage scaling of [[Necromancer: Unpopped Army|Necromancer]] and [[Prince of Darkness (BTD6)|Prince of Darkness]], and the significant MOAB-class damage from [[Archmage (BTD6)|Archmage]].

When alone, its best crosspath is 1-2-0, as [[Guided Magic (BTD6)|Guided Magic]] provides virtually full uptime. More pierce from [[Intense Magic (BTD6)|Intense Magic]] is not needed unless the player is doing a [[Race Event]]. 0-2-2 is reliable against Camo Leads, but the downtime makes it bad against Camo Pinks.

More pierce from [[Intense Magic (BTD6)|Intense Magic]] is not needed unless the player is doing a [[Race Event]]~~, and (if other camo detectors are available) the ability to pop Camo Leads is generally outclassed by other options by the time they become a threat (for [[Alternate Bloons Rounds]], 1~~-1-~~0 Sniper~~ is ~~sufficient~~, ~~and in standard rounds external camo detection is preferred)~~.~~~~
