'''Fireball''' is the [[Wizard Monkey (BTD6)|Wizard Monkey]]'s path 2 tier 1 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It adds a secondary [[attack]] that shoots an exploding fireball [[projectile]]. Unlike other explosives, both the fireball itself and the explosion deal [[damage]]: the fireball deals 1 [[Damage type#Bloons TD 6|fire]] damage to one [[Bloon]], while the explosion deals 1 explosion damage to up to 15 Bloons, meaning the initial Bloon the fireball hits takes additional damage. Because the fireball has the fire damage type, it will not explode on contact with [[Purple Bloon (BTD6)|Purple Bloon]]s. The attack has several [[crosspath]]ing perks: | '''Fireball''' is the [[Wizard Monkey (BTD6)|Wizard Monkey]]'s path 2 tier 1 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''.

Fireball is a relatively slow but helpful secondary attack for dealing with multiple weak bloons in a small area. It's okay in the early-game, though it's best used for crosspaths and as a transition to [[Wall of Fire (BTD6)|Wall of Fire]]. Specific to the fireball attack, it's a cheap source of lead-popping and also has decent burst damage when used for [[Archmage (BTD6)|Archmage]] or [[Prince of Darkness (BTD6)|Prince of Darkness]], however the full strength of middle crosspaths requires [[Wall of Fire (BTD6)|Wall of Fire]] and should be upgraded for higher tier Wizards. Although the fireballs can hit non-Purples to explode Purples indirectly, this method is not reliable. Crosspath benefits on lower-tier Wizards are minimal for Fireball outside of early-game. | Fireball is a relatively slow but helpful secondary attack for dealing with multiple weak bloons in a small area.
