Icicles stands out in [[CHIMPS]], as well as being strong in [[Race (BTD6)|Race]] conditions, thanks to its capability to produce a large amount of icicles from hitting many Bloons. [[Silas (BTD6)|Silas]] is its best Hero to synergize, partially compensating his White and early MOAB weaknesses and attacking fast enough to maximize Silas' Ice Fragments,<!--not just "ice fragments"; that give the reader the wrong impression that it's icicles' icicles when it's not--> in return Icicles offers consistent damage against dense rounds. Elsewhere, Icicles is a decent mid-game tower, being specialized for dense rounds while dealing alright damage to blimps but held back by its unreliability against pop White and Zebra Bloons without Silas. It's also a reasonable stepping stone for {{BTD6|Icicle Impale}}. For Races and general gameplay, 0-2-4 is the recommended crosspath for increased attack speed from {{BTD6|Enhanced Freeze}} and extra pierce from {{BTD6|Deep Freeze}}, while 2-0-4 is preferred versus [[Golden Bloon (BTD6)|Golden Bloon]]s to act as a faster [[Cryo Cannon (BTD6)|Cryo Cannon]].
