== Upgrade Overview ==

On maps with intersections, you can start by placing a 0-1-0 [[Fireball (Battles 2)|Fireball]] Wizard alongside your hero tower. Afterwards, you can upgrade your Fireball wizard into a 0-2-0 [[Wall of Fire (Battles 2)|Wall of Fire]] to deal with the earlier rounds. Be careful on round 8, as this is the round that introduces Purple Bloons which can extinguish your wall of fire easily. It is usually recommended at this time to invest in other defense that can deal with the purples, or pop all the purple layers consistently. This may not be a problem if your hero tower has purple popping power and consistency, but these heroes often do not benefit wizards outside of that niche. A few good tower choices for this include: A 3-2-0 [[Spike-o-pult (Battles 2)|Spike-O-Pult]], A 2-0-3 [[Cluster Bombs (Battles 2)|Cluster Bomb]], and a 2-3-0 [[Blade Shooter (Battles 2)|Blade Shooter]].

However, The Wall of Fire isn't the only strong starting option, and can certainly fall short on maps without intersections. The 3-0-1 [[Arcane Mastery (Battles 2)|Arcane Mastery]] is a strong starting tower and is preferred over the 0-2-0 wall of fire on those maps. The round 8 issue is still the same although with less emphasis on having a tower that can fully pop the purple and more on just popping the purple layer. Depending on your other towers, you can either by a 0-3-2 [[Dragon's Breath (Battles 2)|Dragon's Breath]] or a 0-2-4 [[Necromancer: Unpopped Army (Battles 2)|Necromancer]] for the mid-game defense. If you have a second very strong camo popping tower that can beat the purple layer on grouped purples, Dragon's Beath is a solid option. If not, then Necromancer is a decent option due to having the ability to de-camo due to the [[Shimmer (Battles 2)|Shimmer]] upgrade and also having the ability to pop purple balloons using the zombie bloons it reanimates. This upgrade is usually paired with a second tower due to the stockpile nature of the necromancer, often needing support when the graveyard runs dry.
