Wizard Will Ruin Battle Arena
We desperately need a counter for Wizard in Battle Arena and that’s my sole reason for writing this post. I only played Wizard for a few minutes late last night but it seems like attaching the Wizar...

@spIash_damage I had a lovely game of turf with a wizard bumming off a max rank allstar. With wizards help the allstar managed to effortlessly snag 60+ vanquishes. Allstar+ Wizard is completely unfair if they know what they are doing. There isnt much counterplay to the duo atm. I had to switch to snapdragon to try and quickly burst them down. Wizard seems to be too good atm. He fits into any zombie team comp very easily. He has counters for nearly all the plants. I say they just don't let wizard into battle arena until plants get a new character : ^/

I’m into Grand Master rankings on my Wizard and the more I play him, the more I’m concerned with his current state.
No offense to anyone posting about the Wizard now that’s yet to obtain him, but y’all have no clue just how incredibly game-breaking this character can be, especially with the “right” upgrades (one enables longer riding time when you or ally gets a kill... another that leaves the effect of X-ray vision and weapon buff to ally even when you’re off their head)... Game breaking for BA, for sure.
They should keep him out of battle arena for a long time. We still have issues with balance before he was added that should be fixed before ranked is a thing already, much less adding a new character for just one side.
They should wait to add characters until; A) more players have them, have played them, and have encountered them, and B) the sides have balanced numbers. Even if Berry Brigade is in the map next month, that character and Wizard shouldn't be added to the arena until at least a month after brigade is generally available.
I added a long post to the feedback thread. It really isn't hard to knock the co-star off of people's heads as I found out last night, I was wondering what was happening when my host was still alive and I was stunned and off their head. And this happened a lot. You can't really avoid getting hit when you're not driving.
Double headed dragon, the upgrade that let's you stay longer for vanquishes is the one that has a lot of potential, as well as the drive by head rub that lets the armor and sight linger on the host after you leave. I saw the video on these before he was launched. I'll be testing them out once I get there.
When ranked battle arena is released, I wonder how balanced it will be because of the Wizard? He’s likely to give the entire zombie team a large advantage since the new plant character has not been released yet.
