Wizard Lord Phoenix is the Wizard Monkey's path 2 tier 5 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It improves Wizard Monkey's ability to summon a much stronger phoenix, and grants a permanent phoenix sub-tower which is identical to that summoned by the tier 4 Summon Phoenix ability.
Wizard Lord Phoenix's ability transforms the Wizard Monkey into a Lava Phoenix for 20 seconds which flies in a circle in the center of the screen, and attacks Bloons with flames that deal 20 damage, have 50 pierce, and an attack cooldown of 0.1 seconds. It has a second attack which fires 8 meteors at a time, one in each direction. Meteors deal 50 damage with a pierce of 300, have an attack cooldown of 1 second. The Lava Phoenix has infinite range and ignores line-of-sight blockers. The Lava Phoenix's flames cannot damage Purple Bloons, but its meteors can damage all Bloon types. This ability has a cooldown of 45 seconds and an initial cooldown of 15 seconds. The permanent phoenix remains while the ability is active, but Wizard Monkey stops all other attacks while transformed.
This upgrade increases fireball explosion damage from 3 to 9, and increases wall of fire damage from 1 to 5. This upgrade allows the dragon's breath attack to fire 3 flames per shot instead of 2, and increases its pierce from 3 to 15.

Despite ranking low overall, Wizard Lord Phoenix has dodged balance changes because of its extremely popular place as a challenge tower. With the rise of other towers in challenges, we’ve decided to start off buffing it based on its own merits in general gameplay.

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.

Middle path T4 Phoenix continues carrying rounds quite well for a long period of the game, as a light nerf here we’re taking away the free camo detection that Phoenix used to get, given the tower has a camo crosspath it could go for to properly inherit this onto the phoenix anyway.

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. Summon Phoenix price is increasing more along with a larger reduction in cost to the Wizard Lord Phoenix, however Phoenix will now also be able to gain seeking frontal breath attacks with Guided Magic crosspathing.

Wizard is feeling effective across the board with nice use cases across each path so there was hesitation about making changes. Nevertheless we felt there were important changes here with DoT in mind, so there’s now new scaling on the Dragon’s Breath attack improving damage over time on higher upgrades and a for-fun change to the projectile count assisting in spreading flames to many targets. We understand we are affecting current balance but it’s done in the name of fun and for Wizard fans.

As Fireball becomes very forgotten at higher tiers and is hard to even see at Dragon’s Breath, we’re improving the crosspath and adding even more projectiles at T3 for wider explosive coverage. [...] Wizard Lord Phoenix’s Wall of Fire hasn’t had any meaningful upgrade progression, so its damage is being increased.

[...] we can justify a QoL buff with Dragon’s Breath’s scaling adjusting to match more crosspath improvements, meaning it will now benefit [... from] bottom path’s projectile speed increase.
