Arcane Mastery buffed by lower-level Ocean Obyn

Arcane Mastery is the 3rd upgrade of Path 1 for the Wizard Monkey in Bloons TD Battles 2. It enhances all of the Wizard Monkey's aspects, increasing attack speed, damage, range and pierce. With this upgrade, the Wizard Monkey attacks twice as fast (every 0.55s), is able to pop Lead Bloons, has bolts deal 3 damage instead of 2 with +4 pierce (7 without Intense Magic, 12 with Intense Magic). Its base range is also increased by +50%, from 40 to 60 units.

It costs $1,200, and is available after unlocking Wizard Monkey.

3.1

Arcane Mastery price increased ($1200 → $1400)
- Overall price increase is $0, due to base Wizard and Arcane Blast buffs.

“	Arcane Mastery seems to be in a decent spot, but it has poor stepping stones in the early game, so we have buffed the lower tiers leading up to it. Arcane Mastery, Wall of Fire, and Shimmer have all had their price increased so that they do not indirectly get buffed from the price cuts.	”
	^{~ Ninja Kiwi}

3.2

Arcane Mastery price decreased ($1400 → $1200)'
Arcane Mastery seeking/turning rate increased (360 -> 600)

“	Wizard’s top path has high pierce but often struggles to make use of it all due to its slow turning speed, so that has been increased quite a bit. Alongside this, it has received a minor price cut so that it can perform better as a starting tower. [...]	”

Trivia[]

The old description of Arcane Mastery mentions "popping power" as pierce, but the new Version 1.4.0 description describes such popping power in terms of Lead-Popping Power.
