Rime is a status effect unique to Silas's main attack that visually covers Bloons in ice crystals. It slows regular Bloons by 50% and [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s by 5%, and causes them to take +1 damage from attacks that deal {{BTD6 dt|Cold}}, {{BTD6 dt|Frigid}}, {{BTD6 dt|Shatter}}, or {{BTD6 dt|Glacier}}-type damage. It does not affect [[BAD (BTD6)|BADs]] or [[Boss Bloon]]s. While the attack does not freeze rimed MOAB-Class Bloons, they do still count as frozen for the purposes of generating explosions when hit by the attack again. Starting from level 11, Rime slowdown for MOABs is increased to 30%, and BFBs and DDTs to 20%. | Rime is a status effect unique to Silas's main attack that visually covers Bloons in ice crystals.
