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. | Phayze's boss battle focuses on [[Camo detection]] and moving Bloons closer to the exit.

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. | |||

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. | Phayze starts each encounter with a '''Reality Shield'''.

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. | Phayze is a unique boss that harms concentrated defenses with its Warp ability and severely weakens towers without innate Camo detection.
