Esoteric Elementalist is a type of Artifact in the Rogue Legends DLC for Bloons TD 6. It gives additional effects to the attacks of Wizard Monkeys, although they aren't guaranteed to happen, but the chances increase with the rarity of the Artifact. The possible effects are:

• Push back the Bloons along the track 50 units (25 for Ceramics and cannot affect MOAB-Class Bloons).
• Set the Bloons on fire, which inflicts a damage over time effect of 1, 3 or 9 damage every 1.5 seconds and during 4.6s, despite what the description says. Purple Bloons are unaffected.
• Freeze Bloons for 1s. MOAB-Class, White or Zebra Bloons are unaffected.

It also adds a 1-0-1 / 2-0-1 / 2-0-0 Wizard Monkey to the party. Silas starts with the Rare version.

Strategy

This Artifact provides a lot of utility to Wizard Monkeys in the early game, allowing them to stall and increasing their damage output in order to save up for the tier 3 and 4 upgrades to handle the MOAB-Class Bloons when they start appearing. This Artifact can also help on reducing the drawback of Pure Damage by using the push back and freeze effect to slow down the smaller Bloons.

With Fusty the Snowman specifically, players can upgrade the starting 0-2-0 Mermonkey into Alluring Melody which accelerates the DoT effect, this synergy can be further improved with the Confuddling Spelling Artifact, allowing the Wizard Monkey to inflict greater damage while the Bloons are tranced.
