The '''Wall of Fire''' is the second upgrade of Path 2 for the [[Wizard Monkey]] in [[BTD6]]. It creates a crater of fire randomly on the track nearby that lasts for 4.5 seconds, refreshing every 5.5 seconds (4.5 seconds for [[Dragon's Breath]] and subsequent upgrades). The Wall of Fire can pop up to 15 bloons (+5 with [[Intense Magic]]) every 0.1 seconds, which is a substantial amount of popping power for a relatively low cost. However, the firewall's placement is random, unless crosspathed with [[Guided Magic]], making it somewhat unreliable. It also cannot pop [[Purple Bloon]]s without support.

The Wall of Fire is a Path 2, Tier 2 upgrade for the [[Wizard Monkey]]. It creates a crater of fire randomly on the track nearby that lasts for a short time. For a very cheap price, the Wall of Fire can pop up to 20 bloons per frame, a significantly large amount of bloons, but the downside is that the fire wall is very random and that it cannot pop [[Purple Bloon]]s without support, a property similar to most of the Wizard Monkey's other upgrades. Costs $765 Easy, $900 on Medium, $970 on Hard, and $1080 on Impoppable.

Creates a super hot wall of fire across the track to roast the Bloons as they pass.
~ Wall of Fire upgrade description


The Wall of Fire is the second upgrade of Path 2 for the Wizard Monkey in BTD6. It creates a crater of fire randomly on the track nearby that lasts for 4.5 seconds, refreshing every 5.5 seconds (4.5 seconds for Dragon's Breath and subsequent upgrades). The Wall of Fire can pop up to 15 bloons (+5 with Intense Magic) every 0.1 seconds, which is a substantial amount of popping power for a relatively low cost. However, the firewall's placement is random, unless crosspathed with Guided Magic, making it somewhat unreliable. It also cannot pop Purple Bloons without support.

It costs $765 on Easy, $900 on Medium, $970 on Hard, and $1080 on Impoppable.

Tips

  • Wall of Fire is very good DPS for bloon rounds, and fairly good support DPS for MOABs and Ceramics.
    • However, it can be inconsistent, as there is a small downtime where no Walls of Fire are set.
  • One 0/2/2 Wall of Fire is a low-cost, reliable way to deal with Camo Leads.
  • It should be noted that Wall of Fire extinguishes when Purple Bloons touch Wall of Fire, as of Version 8.1. It is useful not to place Wall of Fire too close to the entrance, as well as to be sure that other towers can pop Purples before reaching any Walls of Fire.
  • One Wall of Fire can be used near the exit to catch any leaking bloons.
  • When a Wall of Fire Wizard is used exclusively for the Wall of Fire attack, choosing to place the Wall of Fire only touching one point of the track means that it is easy to tell where the Wall of Fire will be and improve its consistency. However, there is a chance a Wall of Fire placed touching multiple tracks can resummon its fire in front of a bloon that has already taken damage, but this is still inconsistent.
  • Guided Magic allows Wall of Fire to specifically target bloons based upon target priority.
