Version 7.0

•  Cost reduced ― $550 → $450

Version 21.0

“

Though it was never a goal for the base tower to be great, given the additional purple weakness since BTD5 and how poorly it currently performs we feel it deserves to take rank as the cheapest magic tower along with a small buff.
— Update notes

”

•  Cost reduced ― $450 → $400
•  Pierce increased ― 2 → 3

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

”

•  Cost reduced ― $400 → $375

Version 43.0

“

Wizard has a weaker base tower so the base cost is going down in exchange for a small price increase to the cost to value ratio for the effective Arcane Mastery.
— Update notes

”

•  Cost reduced ― $375 → $325

Version 48.0

“

Base Wizard mostly struggles to compare to base Dart Monkey anyway, so we’re cutting it down to one of the cheapest starter placement towers and adding that small cost back across the top path.
— Update notes

”

•  Cost reduced ― $325 → $250
