*A slower method of consistently applying fire than the [[Burny Stuff Mortar]], but can be manually targeted, does more damage, and can attack during a turn. It remains useful for Gwen decks, which benefit from Bloons set on fire.
*Fireball Wizard has one of the highest ATK out of any non-Unique Monkey, making it a solid choice for many decks that struggle with single-target damage during the mid-game. Notably, after ending the opponent's turn with On Fire damage, it does enough damage to pop a [[Yellow Bloon (BCS)|Yellow Bloon]], or a [[Blooming Bloon (BCS)|Blooming Bloon]] buffed by Zee Jay or Amelia even on Dark Castle.
*Without accounting for On Fire, this is essentially a non-Military [[Sniper Monkey (BCS)|Sniper Monkey]] that costs 3 more Gold and does 10 more damage. Like the Sniper, it's good for single-target damage and benefits from ammo buffs like [[Ezili (BCS)|Ezili]]'s Totem.
*If affected by [[Buddy Bloon]], it attacking is only worth it if wanting to trigger fire synergies such as Gwen's exclusive cards (especially [[Extreme Heat]]) or Flame Strike.

[edit | edit source]

During Version 6.2 playtesting, playtesters noted that Fireball Wizard's lack of flexibility is more of an intentional weakness by design, so instead, community playtesters opted for a slight ATK buff,[1][2] making it slightly better for anti-aggro (e.g. one-shotting a Yellow Bloon after On Fire effects) and general use against single targets.[1]
