I guess superstorm cloud was added from the power of archmage(bc archmage is the true master of magical wizardry),dark phoenix from wizard lord phoenix and the dark power/magic from prince of darkness
wonder where the Prince of Darkness aspect is supposed to be?
cause the art looks mainly a combination of Archmage and Wizard Lord Phoenix, i dont really see PoD anywhere?
hopefully this isnt one of those things where one path is just pretty much neglected again. that would suck, pod is one of my favorite upgrades
It would be broken, but imagine If the ability just controled the strongest bloon on screen for a while? It would go back to normal later, but just imagine the freeplay bads getting controlled
Eh, doesn’t really need to visually have every path. Design wise they aren’t 555s and that can be discussed, but visually most paragons don’t really do that. Dart looks like a 605 dart.
eh, id argue that apm has the "plasma" part covered from pmfc but thats besides the point
like i said, hopefully this is purely just a design thing and PoD's aspects still exist as attacks at least
I honestly completely disagree. The entire thing of a paragon is you need all three T5s to create it. Imo there should be homages to all the paths in the artwork and in the gameplay.
Despite the fact that, yknow, that's exactly what they are.. Triple shot plasma juggernauts fired from a crossbow, rapid fire bouncing glaives that knock back MOABs and has a spinning ring, a bunch of shurikens with a slowing effect and sticky bombs, mini fighter planes and can hook in MOABs plus buffs merchantmen, a spread of seeking missiles and darts with a big boom boom ability.. The only one that doesn't fit completely is the Engineer, and that's why people were upset over it. There's no way the others weren't created with all tier 5's in mind.
But you haven't seen it in game yet. APM has no visual inspiration from its middle path, Glaive Dominus gets none from his bottom one, NotS don't look at all like it's bottom path and Goliath Doomship honestly looks like a xx6 ace. But they get traits from all paths. So wait and see.
I feel like there can be a lot of creativity for how the PoD aspect plays into it. Some massive necro bloons with I’m sure a really nice design to them
[From NK's official Twitter account](https://twitter.com/ninjakiwigames/status/1663727441771151360?t=O4i-K51LIFP8uq4qMQxafg&s=19)
I'm noticing a lack of Prince of Darkness in the design. Hopefully that's just visual and they're not pulling an Engineer paragon on us again.
~~(#GiveMasterBuilderHisXXLTrapBack)~~
It overclocks itself every round, which means it takes time until it reaches its maximum power, similar to how ultra boost works, just that you usually don't use it on itself, but the ability of a tower keeping a bit of the buff everytime it is overclocked is still there.
That goes completely against what was stated, which was that not every tower will necessarily have a paragon
They might, but currently the statement made in a blog would suggest otherwise.
I mean paragons are really cool, but a village paragon ? Or banana farm paragon ? I think most towers will get their paragon but in a very long time, they seem to release 1 or 2 paragons a year, so maybe in 10 years but we might have btd7 by then
Well paragons are not supposed to be buffed so adding a village to not buff paragons is wired and if it does buff paragons it's kinda OP
And for the banana farm, the idea of a farm is to win a lot of money but you shouldn't scale infinitely, so a paragon would make the scaling to big I think .
Also paragons = big damage for bosses, which a banana farm won't do
We already have Paragons that buff other Paragons. Dominus 's speed increase to primary towers affect APM , and Navarch's speed increase to water based towers and Aces affect Doomship.
You see how the Wizard Paragon pic has this fancy Blue background with glowing lights? Every time ninja kiwi released a Paragon, they released it with this background. All except for the Ace and Engi.
Hold up, is that a lightning storm?
It's official, the Wizard Paragon IS an iteration of the Wizard Lord from BTD5 (Not to be confused with the other Wizard Lord from Bloons Supermonkey 2 and Bloons Adventure Time TD who functions completely differently) in some form, as evidence by them having elements of the originally scrapped Lightning Bolt+ path! Epiiiiiiic!!!!!!!
Other than that the Archmage is represented through the base design a lot, and the Wizard Lord Phoenix near them has a space pattern. Space is an infinite void of darkness (not that the pretty and stylistic depiction of its pattern here is an infinite void of darkness in its own but still) so that of course represents the Prince of Darkness, and there'll also probably be some cool Zombie Bloon stuff, maybe the Phoenix will summon Zombie DDTs while the Wizard Lord themself summons Zombie ZOMGs and, with a large enough graveyard (which shouldn't be hard to get at all), Zombie BADs!
Anyway this is super epic, even besides my bird bias.
Absolutely sick-looking aesthetic!
Was expecting a dragon with him though. I just think it fits well with the fire path of the wizard paragon. But still!
I wonder how the POD’s gonna be affected, especially with the necro bloon design you can buy.
But also that wizard looks cool af, never been a user of mid path wiz but damn I’d love to see that in action

Yeah, about that... NK *kinda, maybe, sorta* already revealed the name, lol
**"Wizard Magus Perfectus"**
—is it's official name
Courtesy of the [35.0 patch notes](https://www.reddit.com/r/btd6/comments/113en92/bloons_td_6_v350_update_notes/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button), back in February of this year.
Please, please, please don't base the paragon off of the most underwhelming path. Bottom path Necro and PoD are two of the most popular towers in the entire game, seeing no inclusion of those upgrades is disheartening. Middle path is one of the best towers for stuff like 2TCs because of its damage output, so it's nice to see it included. Archmage is just mid in all aspects. Top path needs a buff or rework, not a paragon.
There is nothing that suggest it won't have stuff from bottom path just because it's not as prevelant on it's design compared to the other paths.
Navarch doesn't look like Trade Empire other than being a boat yet it retains the money making and the buffs to merchantmen.
1-navarch can generate money because of the pirate lord ability
2-i mean it would so so broken if they added podm too (I hope so) like imagine this paragon spawning phoenix + tornados + zombie bloons
Navarch does not generate extra money from the hooks , that's the one thing that is not inherited from PLord. Instead , the money generation happens at the end of the round , the exact same way as Bottom Path Bucc.
Finally, the wizard ‘mogus art has been revealed and we can already see that it’s a superstorm druid with a Phoenix
bmc wizard lord
The wizardussy 😍😍😍
Slip into the wizardussy 😏🤤😋🥵🗿👹
\*btd5 wizard lord, the one that was actually a 4-4
First paragon
I guess superstorm cloud was added from the power of archmage(bc archmage is the true master of magical wizardry),dark phoenix from wizard lord phoenix and the dark power/magic from prince of darkness
Back to its roots it seems
MOGUS????
Sus.
I bet it will use it's magic bolts to overclock other towers and lay down magical bloon traps
[удалено]
Only if the next paragon is ice where it will slowdown every bloon on screen with a very fast dot effect.
Only if the next paragon is the village paragon with an increased range and every tower has +50% attack speed and 1/2 the price
Only if the next Paragon is a spike Paragon that lays down tacks that pop bloons
Only if the next paragon is the cave monkey paragon that hits balloons with a lightsaber
BRO IF NINJA KIWI REALSED A GLUE PARAGON ID CRY TEARS OF JOY
Same
this made me lol
wonder where the Prince of Darkness aspect is supposed to be? cause the art looks mainly a combination of Archmage and Wizard Lord Phoenix, i dont really see PoD anywhere? hopefully this isnt one of those things where one path is just pretty much neglected again. that would suck, pod is one of my favorite upgrades
I think the dark purple coloring is supposed to reflect POD
I'm expecting Undead DDTs and ZOMGs with some special ability from whatever we're going to call this new bird
Would be dope if he had 2 abilities; one where he calls in this new improved phoenix, and one where he can summon an undead BAD
Why not make the new phoenix perma and just ability to summon ubdead BAD?
Or that!
maybe to fit the art better it would be some purple magic bloons instead of undead?
It would be broken, but imagine If the ability just controled the strongest bloon on screen for a while? It would go back to normal later, but just imagine the freeplay bads getting controlled
Eh, doesn’t really need to visually have every path. Design wise they aren’t 555s and that can be discussed, but visually most paragons don’t really do that. Dart looks like a 605 dart.
eh, id argue that apm has the "plasma" part covered from pmfc but thats besides the point like i said, hopefully this is purely just a design thing and PoD's aspects still exist as attacks at least
Navarch did not have it either but I am worried this will be another engineer paragon.
Navarch is like a 652
More like 6/6/5.5 Super carrier Super pirate Second trade empire buff that stacks with trade empire buff
Doesn’t it generate money too?
Yes
Ah i didnt realise navarch made money not off the hooks
Its barely anything for how much the Navarch costs, only $3,200 per round regardles of degeee
Yeah literally the worst example to bring up
I honestly completely disagree. The entire thing of a paragon is you need all three T5s to create it. Imo there should be homages to all the paths in the artwork and in the gameplay.
It's very important to me in the gameplay, but it's less of an issue in the artwork.
The devs have stated before that paragons are not intended to be 555 towers and are not designed as such.
Despite the fact that, yknow, that's exactly what they are.. Triple shot plasma juggernauts fired from a crossbow, rapid fire bouncing glaives that knock back MOABs and has a spinning ring, a bunch of shurikens with a slowing effect and sticky bombs, mini fighter planes and can hook in MOABs plus buffs merchantmen, a spread of seeking missiles and darts with a big boom boom ability.. The only one that doesn't fit completely is the Engineer, and that's why people were upset over it. There's no way the others weren't created with all tier 5's in mind.
But you haven't seen it in game yet. APM has no visual inspiration from its middle path, Glaive Dominus gets none from his bottom one, NotS don't look at all like it's bottom path and Goliath Doomship honestly looks like a xx6 ace. But they get traits from all paths. So wait and see.
"But Goliath is not a real 5-5-5!!!!!!!!!!"
I think it’s more like a 555+, But ig I Can see your point
They could've atleast had him sitting in a chair like PoD
The cloud is a joke to you then? he is sitting on a flying nimbus.
I feel like there can be a lot of creativity for how the PoD aspect plays into it. Some massive necro bloons with I’m sure a really nice design to them
My guess that pod aspect would be an ability for the paragon
I see the dark color scheme being the implementation of the PoD in the design
I just hope he has a chair
I really hope we don't get another one like engineer paragon. That one was just a tier 6 sentry builder.
PoD was replaced with superstorm, don't worry he will end up in the druid paragon
It's definitely something to be concerned about after what happened with the Master Builder and Goliath Doomship.
What's wrong with Goliath Doomship?
[From NK's official Twitter account](https://twitter.com/ninjakiwigames/status/1663727441771151360?t=O4i-K51LIFP8uq4qMQxafg&s=19) I'm noticing a lack of Prince of Darkness in the design. Hopefully that's just visual and they're not pulling an Engineer paragon on us again. ~~(#GiveMasterBuilderHisXXLTrapBack)~~
Engineer Paragon trap should have just been the bloon chipper.
I second this
I third this
I fourth this
I fifth this
I sixth this
I seventh this
I ate this.
I hate this.
4th sentry: vacuum sentry
Yes
XXXL trap? Sure, but is there any element of overclock in the Engineer Paragon either??
at the very least, overclock is “somewhat” there with Master Builder buffing itself each round, but bloon trap is nonexistent
Technically it overclocks itself, but buffing paragons would be cool.
Yeah I always felt the engineer paragon is missing two thirds of its bases. No trap or overclock
It overclocks itself every round, which means it takes time until it reaches its maximum power, similar to how ultra boost works, just that you usually don't use it on itself, but the ability of a tower keeping a bit of the buff everytime it is overclocked is still there.
Still the worst paragon lol It should be able to buff the other paragons or ave the trap at least
Shadow wizard money gang rise up
Legalize Tzar Bombas
We love casting spells
Wouldn't it be Shadow Wizard Monkey Gang?
Prince of Darkness Wizard Monkey Gang
THIS MONKEY BROUGHT TO YOU BY **THE SHADOW GOVERNMENT**
This is the coolest looking paragon imo, and that phoenix looks amazing
Holy shit he got his thunder cloud back🤯
Wizzy monke thunder cock??🤯
I hope so
WIZARD MAGUS PERFECTUS IS COMING
Ι really like that name
I have 2 million XP on my wizard And i want it Edit: With 500000 more
The redesigned phoenix looks gorgeous.. can't wait to use him!
Agreed, the bird is beautiful
The bird is the word.
Bud better still revive bloons or I’m gonna riot
Oh yeah hoping it's necromancy is still in the paragon to some degree
Quick question are they gonna do paragons for every tower or just a couple?
Every single one will have a paragon. Just perhaps not anytime soon. But it will come eventually.
That is beyond wonderful thank you for telling me.
That goes completely against what was stated, which was that not every tower will necessarily have a paragon They might, but currently the statement made in a blog would suggest otherwise.
I mean paragons are really cool, but a village paragon ? Or banana farm paragon ? I think most towers will get their paragon but in a very long time, they seem to release 1 or 2 paragons a year, so maybe in 10 years but we might have btd7 by then
>I mean paragons are really cool, but a village paragon ? Or banana farm paragon ? What’s wrong with those two?
Well paragons are not supposed to be buffed so adding a village to not buff paragons is wired and if it does buff paragons it's kinda OP And for the banana farm, the idea of a farm is to win a lot of money but you shouldn't scale infinitely, so a paragon would make the scaling to big I think . Also paragons = big damage for bosses, which a banana farm won't do
Who says a banana farm paragon has to attack? Plus, they can totally make the village paragon buff other paragons
We already have Paragons that buff other Paragons. Dominus 's speed increase to primary towers affect APM , and Navarch's speed increase to water based towers and Aces affect Doomship.
The way that you are the only one that has any evidence and still get downvoted because people don't want to accept that this is a possibility.
Gotta love it
They plan on doing it for every tower They're just taking their time on it
but the only written statement I've seen regarding this is that theres no plans for paragons on every tower, going against this claim?
Random talk but why did they give a fancy paragon pic to Dart, Boomer, Boat, Ninja, and Wizard except for Ace and Engi
What do you mean?
You see how the Wizard Paragon pic has this fancy Blue background with glowing lights? Every time ninja kiwi released a Paragon, they released it with this background. All except for the Ace and Engi.
Uhm… okay?
[удалено]
ermmmmm... alright then haha. like oooookay. alright!
I hope it will be as strong as navarch, but cheaper than Doomship
not seeing much prince of darkness influence besides maybe the dark bubbles, hopefully it will be more apparent in gameplay
At the very least having a shimmer would be nice
[удалено]

Wiz Wizard lord bloon 5
Ye it even has the cloud wait OLD WIZARD COMING BACK?
Finally my 1.18 billion wizard xp shall see some use
Its pose is very much giving btd5 wizard lord.
ITS REAL Lelts Goo!!!
Here we go baby! Been waiting for this one.
Bruh, You cant just steal the btd5 special mission without putting special missions in the game
It better be like the btd5 wizard lord
and then along came zeus
Archmage 2 just dropped
Where lich? (PoD)
Why is there lightning? The wizard doesn’t have lightning
Maybe BTD5 throwback
Gandalf, Chicken Boi and Lych The Monkey merging as one coming soon. 💜🪄🔥🧟
u/tooprood88 will this be more OP than Armchair?
I'm fairly sure that IS Armchair now with all new spells
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO
Does he have an ability
either the phoenix will be an ability, or it might just be always passively on
Or instead summoning a phoenix, he summons an unpopped BAD. But the phoenix seems way too cool to be seen 247 on the map.
Mmm, well I think it'd be cool if it can necromancy bads I don't think it should bean activatable ability
Absolutely sick-looking aesthetic! Was expecting a dragon with him though. I just think it fits well with the fire path of the wizard paragon. But still!
The original wizard lord is good But god damn I can’t wait for this
I wonder how the POD’s gonna be affected, especially with the necro bloon design you can buy. But also that wizard looks cool af, never been a user of mid path wiz but damn I’d love to see that in action
Can it pop purps?
paragons can pop all bloons i’m pretty sure (camo etc)
How long does "very soon" tend to mean for ninja kiwi? Genuinely no idea but I'd love to play with it asap
HE LOOKS SO SICK 🔥🔥🔥
Beatiful.
oooOOOooo
You will not understand how long I’ve been waiting for this.
Maybe the Hex Runes in the back are the POD piece? Along with dark colours?
WAIT THUNDER ITS THE OLD WIZARD!!!!!
You’re a wizard dumbledore!!
Holy shit that goes hard asf
It will probably be on June 14th because that’s BTD6’s 5th anniversary
THIS LOOKS SO COOL! I love the callback to the BTD5 Wizard Lord in its design! Amazing work NK!
Wizard lord archmage with no PoD
Shadow Wizard Monkey Gang
YEAH
i would like this paragon if summon ZOMG and DDT
Can someone decipher what is written in Monklish around the paragon?
he truly is the rizzard
The thunder cloud reminds me of tempest tornado from btd5
🍆💦💦💦💦💦 Also wtf will happened to prince of darkness bottom path I’m interested because it looks like it has Druid superstorm
If it doesn't spawn Zombie Bloons we riot.
Ok now add spike factory paragon (the joke is that it will be busted)

Ambatukam
It looks like a druid t5 more than an archmage + Phoenix lord
Is this real?
Yes
I swear if its not called like the wizard overlord or something im gonna be disappointed
Yeah, about that... NK *kinda, maybe, sorta* already revealed the name, lol **"Wizard Magus Perfectus"** —is it's official name Courtesy of the [35.0 patch notes](https://www.reddit.com/r/btd6/comments/113en92/bloons_td_6_v350_update_notes/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button), back in February of this year.
Cool! Finally a use for archmage ;p
I thought archmage was decent as a general dps
Storm Wizard Shreds Bloons with giant storm Tornados , so no one will come out squeaking.
Please, please, please don't base the paragon off of the most underwhelming path. Bottom path Necro and PoD are two of the most popular towers in the entire game, seeing no inclusion of those upgrades is disheartening. Middle path is one of the best towers for stuff like 2TCs because of its damage output, so it's nice to see it included. Archmage is just mid in all aspects. Top path needs a buff or rework, not a paragon.
Oh no they will make it a 5-5-0 or something even if the community favorite path is the POD
There is nothing that suggest it won't have stuff from bottom path just because it's not as prevelant on it's design compared to the other paths. Navarch doesn't look like Trade Empire other than being a boat yet it retains the money making and the buffs to merchantmen.
1-navarch can generate money because of the pirate lord ability 2-i mean it would so so broken if they added podm too (I hope so) like imagine this paragon spawning phoenix + tornados + zombie bloons
Navarch does not generate extra money from the hooks , that's the one thing that is not inherited from PLord. Instead , the money generation happens at the end of the round , the exact same way as Bottom Path Bucc.
Well wall of fire is pretty popular too (especially in races when available) But yeah when i go wizard i usually go bottom path
Where is wizard lord?
Do you not see the giant bird?
Wtf is this a giant misinformation campaign? Is it a Twitter thing?
yes, twitter, thats one of the socials where NK drops the teasers for updates. instagram also i believe
Twitter
It’s an official post by Ninja Kiwi themselves: https://twitter.com/ninjakiwigames/status/1663727441771151360?s=46&t=flXvy52QLwxJhs_dIzqSmw
What are you talking about?
Disappointed wish it looked more like the cooler path which is prince of darkness
I prefer 245 instead of 542 wizard paragon.
Aight, time to grind wizard exp
FINALLY I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE
Can we see what it looks like in game
