Strategy

[edit | edit source]

Larger Radius is not recommended as a standalone tower, since the range increase it grants over the base Ice Monkey does not justify its cost. Thus, its use is limited to crosspathing purposes.

Larger Radius is useful for Arctic Wind due to its small range and Larger Radius's succeeding upgrade, Re-Freeze, allowing it to perma-stall Super Ceramic Bloons. For all Tier 3+ middle-path Ice Monkeys, Larger Radius also has a use in increasing the range of their frozen water effect, but otherwise, Snowstorm and Absolute Zero generally prefer crosspathing with Cold Snap for Permafrost benefits and innate ability to freeze DDTs. Larger Radius is also useful for Embrittlement and Super Brittle when the ability to reach more parts of the track is desired, but is only recommended for Freeplay and Tier 4/5 Boss Bloons. For Ice Shards, Larger Radius is not recommended.

  • Buff Pierce increased ― 30 → 40
  • Buff Can now pop Lead Bloons when buffed by Acidic Mixture Dip (bug fix)
Additionally some smaller price nerfs have been made along the lower tiers of bottom path as each of these upgrades has been standing out a little much.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Upgrade cost increased ― $100 → $175
4-0-1, 5-0-1
  • Buff Larger Radius no longer prevents the Ice Monkey from stacking its debuffs (bug fix)
Ice Monkey base pierce is too high, very easily countering large numbers of strong Bloons early, mid or late in the game for small investment, leading to very low tiers of ice monkey (below t3) being highly effective spam options over upgrading your ice. We are reworking some of this base pierce to require crosspath investment and buffing the damage Ice 3xx Ice Shards to compensate for some of its reduced pierce.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Pierce reduced ― 40 → 30
    • Note: Pierce with Deep Freeze is unchanged
Lowest tiers of ice monkey are far too effective for their cost against ceramics, with this scaling well all the way to round 100, we feel like ice duration against ceramics needs to be reduced to counter this but for now this reduction will only apply until T3.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Freeze duration: reduced by 50% on ceramics
    • Note: Tier 3s and above unaffected
We’re happier with more recent freeze changes succeeding in some of the intentions of older nerfs, given the base tower value in races being hit far more than intended we’re going back over the pierce for Ice Monkey base & middle crosspath.
— Update notes
  • Buff Pierce increased ― 30 → 40
Ice Monkey value is limited at low levels where quick & spaced Bloons are the main trouble, so the cost for many low tier upgrades is moving up to higher tiers instead.
— Update notes
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $175 → $150
    • Buff Overall cost reduced by $125 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
  • Buff Can now be placed on water
0-5-1
  • Buff Arctic Wind: Can slow down small Bloons when crosspathed again (bug fix)
