Bigger, more powerful magic blasts pop through 2 layers of Bloon.
~ In-game description

Arcane Blast is the second upgrade of Path 1 for the Wizard Monkey in Bloons TD 6. It increases projectile size of the Wizard Monkey's magic bolts, and it allows them to pop through 2 layers per shot. This upgrade does not increase the damage or projectile size of any other attacks, only affecting its bolts.

This upgrade costs $380 on Easy, $450 on Medium, $485 on Hard, and $540 on Impoppable.

Description[]

Overview[]

The Wizard receives a blue wide-brimmed wizard hat. As a crosspath, this converts the clothing of most Wizards into a blue color, although for Shimmer and Necromancer their clothing become more purple, in addition to yellow plackets and cuffs from Guided Magic.

Arcane Blast shots are larger and deal extra damage.

Summary[]

Mainly a source of extra damage for the bolt attack. It currently does not possess any special crosspathing interactions whatsoever, so it will be useless in combination with most higher-level upgrades other than simply going for Arcane Mastery and above.

Tips[]

  • This upgrade is helpful when paired with Intense Magic for the significantly increased pierce.
  • 2-0-1 Wizard can make early-game considerably easier.
  • This upgrade is a good stepping stone to higher Path 1 upgrades (Arcane Mastery, Arcane Spike, and Archmage), as it can pop decently.

Version History[]

Until Version 31.0, which reduced its base price, the only buff was inheriting base Wizard buffs. It was buffed due to its high price that only improves the bolt attack.

21.0
  • BUFF Main bolt has more pierce (2 → 3, from base Wizard buff).
31.0
Arcane Blast's benefit to the base tower is quite small for the price and also doesn't carry on well as a crosspath to the other T3s since they add new attacks instead of buffing the base attack, the price has been reduced to add a little more value here [...]
~ Ninja Kiwi
  • BUFF Arcane Blast price reduced ($600 → $450)
