Just Like Magic is a type of Artifact in the Rogue Legends DLC for Bloons TD 6. It doubles the attack cooldown of tier 5 Magic Monkeys (reducing their attack speed −50%), but in exchange it grants all other Monkeys in its range a damage boost against MOAB-Class Bloons, the damage boost is +25%, +30% and +50% depending on the rarity.

Also, it grants an additional effect to all non-Magic Monkeys in the map, when their projectiles expire they have a chance of producing a weak Arcane Bolt with 1 damage and 1 pierce which seek Bloons using Adora's Divine Bolts tracking. The bolt inherits the Camo detection of the tower and can affect sub-towers. Common rarity grants a 20% chance for the Bolt, Rare 30% and Legendary 50% chance.

Strategy

This section was last updated for: version 51.2

Tier 5 Towers are uncommon in Rogue Legends due their cost and rarity as reward so in many situations there isn't a possibility to use the main effect on the first place, and in addition that does not make a lot of sense to put all available resources into a Tier 5 upgrade that is attacking at half speed to buff other towers instead of just dealing the damage itself. So this tradeoff is only justified on Tier 5 Towers that are used as support which might only include Grand Saboteur and The Final Harmonic as other Towers like Permanent Brew are just too expensive to realistically afforded during a game. There is also the case where the player uses Essence Of Bloonarius which makes the defense cheaper by only using Tier 3 or lower towers so the rest of the cash can go to afford the Tier 5 tower.

When using Unification-like artifacts and the player does not use Tier 5 Towers as the bulk of the defense, the cheaper end of Tier 5 towers like Ultra-Juggernaut or The Blazing Sun can be used to spread the Artifact's effect and in particular the Desperado is a great choice as it not too bothered by the attack speed drop and has great range.

The secondary effect of Arcane Bolts is useful with towers with high attack speed or high projectile count like Tack Shooters, Monkey Buccaneers and Engineer Monkey Sentries, which help to catch stray Bloons during the early game and if combined with many attack speed buffs and the relatively high chances of spawning bolts can make it a decent source of extra damage.
