'''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 deals 1 damage to all Bloons on screen, including [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]], ~~and then freezes all Bloons for 6 seconds~~ (~~7 seconds with {{~~BTD6 mk|~~Hypothermia}}~~)~~, with certain exceptions~~ (~~see Snowstorm Ability section~~).

This upgrade also gains Ice Monkey 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]].<section end="lede" />

== Snowstorm Ability ==

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

[[file:BTD6 IceMonkey SnowstormUpgradeIcon.png|70px|right]]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.

==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~~, thus tower choices and ability timings must be managed carefully~~.

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]].

~~For this use case,~~ 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~~. Put the Snowstorm itself near the exit so that its freeze aura can catch Super Ceramics optimally~~.

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.
