'''Snowstorm''' is the [[Ice Monkey (BTD6)|Ice Monkey]]'s path 2 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''.

'''Snowstorm''' is the [[Ice Monkey (BTD6)|Ice Monkey]]'s path 2 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. The Ice Monkey gains +10 range, which also benefits the [[Arctic Wind (BTD6)|Arctic Wind]]'s freeze aura and ice bridge aura.

It also gains the Snowstorm Ability, which freezes all Bloons for 6 seconds (7 seconds with {{BTD6 mk|Hypothermia}}) with certain exceptions (see Snowstorm Ability section). Snowstorm also deals 1 damage to all Bloons on screen, including [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]], but it requires [[Cold Snap (BTD6)|Cold Snap]] to damage [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead Bloons]] or [[DDT (BTD6)|DDTs]].

== Snowstorm Ability ==

The ability has a 30 second cooldown, and starts with a cooldown of 10 seconds.

Before freezing, it deals 1 damage to all Bloons on screen, including [[White Bloon (BTD6)|White]], [[Zebra Bloon (BTD6)|Zebra]], [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo]], and MOAB-Class Bloons. Camo Bloons will take damage even if the Snowstorm can't detect Camo. [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead Bloons]] won't be damaged unless it can pop Lead, such as with the [[Cold Snap (BTD6)|Cold Snap]] crosspath. This damage can be buffed, counts as a single attack, and has infinite pierce.

After this damage is applied, all Bloons on screen get frozen for 6 seconds, which is reduced to 3 seconds for White, Zebra, and Camo Bloons, regardless of if the Snowstorm can detect Camo. Duration penalties do not stack (for example, a Camo White Bloon will get its insides frozen for only 3 seconds). If the snowstorm damage pops a MOAB-Class Bloon, it will not freeze the insides. A frozen [[ZOMG (BTD6)|ZOMG]] moves at 2.25 units per second, and other MOAB-Class Bloons move at 5 units per second.

If crosspathed with [[Permafrost (BTD6)|Permafrost]], all non-MOAB-Class frozen Bloons will get the permafrost effect applied, permanently slowing them by 50%.

==Strategy==

Snowstorm serves as a unique support tower for Rounds 81-100, as its ability has strong utility in halting the progress of Bloons and blimps that are near the exit. This pairs especially well with {{BTD6|Admiral Brickell}}, as her Mega Mines ability becomes able to pop more blimps that enter the screen while the current ones are frozen, and the {{BTD6|Super Ceramic Bloon}} rushes can be frozen by the ability as well. However, the frozen Bloons and blimps block [[Sharp]] projectiles which is an antisynergy with certain towers such as the [[The Tack Zone (BTD6)|Tack Zone]].

2-4-0 is the optimal crosspath for Snowstorm, granting it both {{BTD6|Permafrost}} for Super Ceramics and the innate ability to freeze {{BTD6|DDT}}s.

In addition, Snowstorm's increased ice bridge range allows more towers to fit on nearby water, granting extra land space. For this role, 0-4-1 is the better crosspath for Snowstorm due to {{BTD6|Larger Radius}} increasing the freeze aura's range further.
