Icicle Impale (BTD6)

(One intermediate revision by one other user not shown)

Line 19:

'''Icicle Impale''' is the [[Ice Monkey (BTD6)|Ice Monkey]]'s path 3 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. The main attack is improved to deal 50 damage to [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s (from 10), its projectile gains +1 radius, and its damage type is changed to {{BTD6 dt|Shatter}}.

On top of those improvements, Icicle Impale is able to freeze MOAB-Class Bloons ~~and, if crosspathed with [[Permafrost (BTD6)|Permafrost]], apply permafrost to them with half effectiveness (permanent -25% speed)~~. A frozen [[ZOMG (BTD6)|ZOMG]] moves at 2.25 units per second and other frozen MOAB-Class Bloons (excluding the {{BTD6|BAD}}, which cannot be frozen) move at 5 units per second. The speed is not affected by difficulty, or any modifiers from round ramping or challenge rules.

Line 31:

Icicle Impale is a unique tower that performs a mix of support and damage, being especially strong against {{BTD6|DDT}}s while also neutralizing other non-BAD blimps relatively well. However, it faces fierce competition from {{BTD6|Super Glue}}, which replicates its functionality at a cheaper cost and pulls ahead when used with {{BTD6|Sauda}} or {{BTD6|Pop and Awe}}.

Icicle Impale is best paired with towers (both damage and support) that fare well on dense rounds ~~(which it struggles to)~~, such as {{BTD6|MOAB Press}} and {{BTD6|Glaive Lord}}. ~~0-2-5 is usually the better crosspath, 2-0-5's innate DDT popping power and Permafrost capabilities may be preferred if camo detection is needed, but~~ 0-2-5 grants increased attack speed, pierce, and freeze duration, greatly enhancing its stalls and ~~overall~~ DPS. Use two {{BTD6|Acidic Mixture Dip}}s ~~(both with only Icicle Impale in their range)~~ and {{BTD6|Radar Scanner}} to allow ~~the~~ 0-2-5 ~~Icicle Impale to handle DDTs~~.
