'''Permafrost''' is the [[Ice Monkey (BTD6)|Ice Monkey]]'s path 1 tier 1 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It applies [[permafrost (effect)|permafrost]] to [[frozen]] [[Bloon]]s, reducing their [[Bloon speed|speed]] by 50% after they thaw out. The effect lasts for two [[Bloon layer|layers]], ~~though~~ the Ice Monkey's attack usually pops one layer, so it ~~technically only~~ applies to two layers if the top layer has multiple points of [[Bloon health|health]].

The effect lasts for two [[Bloon layer|layers]], although the Ice Monkey's attack usually pops one layer, meaning it effectively applies to two layers only if the top layer has multiple points of [[Bloon health|health]]. The freeze has several crosspathing perks:

~~== Crosspathing ==~~

*[[Deep Freeze (BTD6)|Deep Freeze]] increases the number of layers affected from 2 to 3.

*[[Snowstorm (BTD6)|Snowstorm]]'s [[Activated Ability]] gains the permafrost effect ~~as well~~.

*[[Snowstorm (BTD6)|Snowstorm's]] [[Activated Ability]] gains the permafrost effect but does not work on MOAB-class Bloons.

*[[Absolute Zero (BTD6)|Absolute Zero]] increases the number of layers affected from 3 to 5 and can apply permafrost to [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s, slowing the outer layer by 25%.

*[[Absolute Zero (BTD6)|Absolute Zero]] increases the number of layers affected from 3 to 8 and can apply permafrost to [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s, slowing the outer layer by 25%.

*[[Icicle Impale (BTD6)|Icicle Impale]] can apply permafrost to MOAB-Class Bloons, slowing the outer layer by 25%.

Permafrost has strong utility in the form of stalling {{B|Super Ceramic Bloon~~|BTD6~~}}s, granting extra time for abilities to recharge, and crosspathing to 1-1-0 enhances its stalling capability further. In addition, the permanent 50% slow to {{B|Golden Bloon~~|BTD6~~}}s greatly aids in popping them. When used as a crosspath for Tier 3+ Ice Monkeys, Permafrost is recommended when the [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo]] detection and [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead]] & {{B|DDT~~|BTD6~~}}-popping power granted by its succeeding upgrade, {{B|Cold Snap~~|BTD6~~}}, are desired.
