Icicles (BTD6): Difference between revisions

'''Icicles''' is the [[Ice Monkey (BTD6)|Ice Monkey]]'s path 3 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It gains -37.5% attack cooldown (or +60% attack speed) from the previous tier, can now target MOAB class bloons (but not freeze them) and deals +8 damage to MOAB-class, and all hit bloons grow 3 icicles ([[White Bloon (BTD6)|white]]/[[Zebra Bloon (BTD6)|zebra]] bloons grow icicles even if not popped, [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|lead bloons]] don't grow icicles if the tower is unable to pop Lead).

Icicles damage other bloons when they pass over the bloon that has the icicles, have [[Damage type|sharp damage type]] (normal if crosspathed with [[Cold Snap (BTD6)|Cold Snap]]), deal 2 damage, have 3 pierce and last for the same duration as the freeze duration (MOAB class can also grow icicles even if they can't be frozen).

Icicles is a strong tower in [[Race Event]]s, thanks to it producing a large amount of icicles from the multitude of Bloons that it hits. Elsewhere, Icicles is a decent mid-game tower, being specialized for dense rounds while dealing alright damage to blimps. However, it is held back by its unreliability against pop White and Zebra Bloons, and thus is only recommended as a supplement to the defense or as a stepping stone for {{B|Icicle Impale|BTD6}}. For Races and general gameplay, 0-2-4 is the recommended crosspath for increased attack speed from {{B|Enhanced Freeze|BTD6}} and extra pierce from {{B|Deep Freeze|BTD6}}.
