Wall of Fire is the Wizard Monkey's path 2 tier 2 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It grants the Wizard Monkey a new attack that periodically deploys a wall of fire projectile onto the closest part of the track. The wall of fire deals 1 damage every 0.15 seconds to up to 10 Bloons inside it; its pierce refreshes every 0.15 seconds instead of disappearing when it runs out. The wall of fire is deployed every 6.5 seconds and lasts for 4.5 seconds or until it touches a Purple Bloon.

Wall of Fire also receives special perks offered by crosspaths:

• Guided Magic adds a targeting option to set where the walls of fire are deployed, allows walls of fire to be deployed behind line of sight blockers, and increases their lifespan by 2 seconds (effectively giving them 100% uptime).
• Arcane Spike increases the MOAB damage of each blaze.
• Archmage doubles the attack's speed, and further increases MOAB damage.
• Intense Magic increases pierce of the walls of fire by 5, allowing them to damage up to 15 Bloons every 0.15 seconds instead of 10.
• Monkey Sense increases the attack's range and allows it to target and hit Camo Bloons.
• Necromancer and Prince of Darkness can scale the damage of blazes based on graveyard count.

Strategy

This section was last updated for: version 52.2

Wall of Fire is a solid Tier 2 that performs cleanup and general damage for a low cost. Place the Wizard close to the track at an intersection or tight bend, allowing the blaze to hit more sections of track. Its main weaknesses are Purples, which disintegrate the blazes, and its crosspaths trading off either increased lifespan or Camo detection. Wall of Fire is also a solid crosspath for many Wizard upgrades, including interactions with damage scaling of Necromancer and Prince of Darkness, and the significant MOAB-class damage from Archmage.

When alone, its best crosspath is 1-2-0, as Guided Magic provides virtually full uptime. More pierce from Intense Magic is not needed unless the player is doing a Race Event. 0-2-2 is reliable against Camo Leads, but the downtime makes it bad against Camo Pinks.

“

Some changes have been made to wall of fire to improve race balance in particular
— Update notes

”

•  Wall of Fire: Attack now starts on its full cooldown
•  Wall of Fire: Now saves the time remaining on its attack cooldown
•  Wall of Fire: Now expires immediately upon selling the tower

Version 25.0

“

Wall of Fire has been reworked in order to cut down on cases of frustrating randomness as well as the initial cooldown on the attack being reduced.
— Update notes

”

•  Wall of Fire: Initial cooldown reduced ― 5.5s → 1s
•  Wall of Fire: Now targets the closest point on the track by default (instead of randomly within range)

Version 29.0

“

As Wall of Fire still stands out too much for a Tier 2 upgrade, it is seeing a nerf with some power being shifted further up to the T3 instead.
— Update notes

”

“

In contrast, Fireball continues to underwhelm, so is seeing an initial buff plus a larger buff at T3.
— Update notes

”

•  Fireball attack: Attack cooldown reduced ― 3s → 2.2s (attack speed increased by 36.36%)
•  Wall of Fire attack: Pierce refresh rate reduced ― 0.1s → 0.15s
  • Note: Dragon's Breath and above unchanged

•  Intense Magic grants less pierce to Wall of Fire ― +5 → +4

Version 30.0

“

As base Wizard shines in no way & doesn’t lead into any immediately good cheap lower tiers aside from Wall of Fire, the base price is being slightly lowered at the cost of an increase to Wall of Fire.
— Update notes

”

•  Upgrade cost increased ― $900 → $950
  •  Overall cost increased by $25 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)

Version 31.2

•  Fireball: no longer has single-layer damage (undocumented)
•  Wall of Fire: no longer has single-layer damage (undocumented)

Version 32.0

“

Polishing some crosspaths, 130 Dragons Breath is the only crosspath for Guided Magic that doesn't yet attack through walls, and 011 Fireball also does not benefit from having the pierce crosspath
— Update notes

”

0-2-1, 0-2-2, 0-2-3, 0-2-4, 0-2-5

•  Intense Magic now grants +5 pierce to the fireball attack

Version 33.0

“

Wall of Fire’s exceptional T2 power needs to be moved around for improved crosspathing, along with a slight nerf to Phoenix as it is currently performing too well, and both of these upgrades are shifting some of their power into Dragon’s Breath so it can stand out as more than just a buff to WoF & a stepping stone to Phoenix.
— Update notes

”

•  Wall of Fire: Pierce per tick reduced ― 15 → 10
•  Wall of Fire: Damage tick rate reduced ― 0.1s → 0.15s
•  Wall of Fire: Attack cooldown increased ― 5.5s → 6.5s (attack speed reduced by 15.38%)

0-2-1, 0-2-2, 0-2-3, 0-2-4, 0-2-5

•  Wall of Fire: Pierce per tick reduced ― 19 → 15

1-2-0, 2-2-0, 3-2-0, 4-2-0, 5-2-0

•  Wall of Fire: duration increased ― 4.5s → 5.5s
•  Wall of Fire: no longer auto-targets but gains a target marker (like Cleansing Foam Engineer)

Version 34.0

“

Wizard Archmage currently doubles the attack speed of the main attack along with adding a sizable MOAB damage bonus, but these benefits are not applied to the extra attacks that it gains as a 533 tower, which specifically makes the 520 crosspath benefits feel disappointing and the base dragon's breath it gains quite insignificant to the main tower.
— Update notes

”

5-2-0

•  Archmage now reduces the fireball attack's cooldown by 50% ― 2.2s → 1.1s
•  Archmage now grants +8 damage to the fireball attack's explosion (to match its damage with Dragon's Breath)
•  Archmage now grants +2 damage to MOAB-class to the fireball attack
•  Archmage now reduces the wall of fire attack's cooldown by 50% ― 6.5s → 3.25s
•  Archmage now grants +1 damage to MOAB-class to the wall of fire attack

Version 39.0

“

We set up for this Wall of Fire change quite a while ago, however finally it feels that Wall of Fire has cooled off enough to smooth out the curve a little more, granting it seamless uptime with crosspathing and a lower price tag.

Arcane Spike is now seeing some of the crosspathing benefits that Archmage recently received, although Archmage’s Wall of Fire is being reduced in power.
— Update notes

4-2-0
