Wizard Lord Phoenix ~~tends to be mostly relegated to custom challenges with~~ the ~~Wizard. Despite multiple buffs~~ to ~~this T5~~, ~~its~~ non-ability ~~strength~~ is ~~average compared to most~~ T5's of ~~its cost~~, ~~though its ability is strong at wiping~~ out ~~large rounds if timed correctly. The inability for the Lava Phoenix~~ to ~~be micromanaged with flight patterns means that only timing the ability~~ and ~~targeting priorities matter while it's active~~.

Wizard Lord Phoenix is extremely reliant on timing, both for the ability and flight patterns, in addition to lacking micromanagement value, weak non-ability attacks, and having a steep T5 cost. Wizard Lord Phoenix is outclassed by many other T5 upgrades, and poor in [[CHIMPS]]. The burst of long-ranged damage is better performed by [[Plasma Monkey Fan Club (BTD6)|Plasma Monkey Fan Club]], which can be spread out to focus on different regions and avoid missing strays in spread-out map formats.

~~The only~~ crosspaths ~~that affect Wizard Lord Phoenix's ability are [[Guided Magic (BTD6)|Guided Magic]] (homing flames) and [[Monkey Sense (BTD6)|Monkey Sense]] (innate camo detection). Usually~~ 2-5-0 is preferred, ~~which improves the general~~ DPS ~~while~~ the ability is ~~on cooldown and during the ability to help maximize pierce. However,~~ 0-5-2 ~~may be useful for~~ extra range ~~and pierce when the ability is not in use~~.

For crosspaths, 2-5-0 is generally preferred for homing Lava Phoenix flames, in addition to higher DPS when the ability is inactive 0-5-2 is used when needing extra range or innate camo detection.
