Popseidon's Ice Jet is separated from Arctic Knights. When activated, the Mermonkey stops the trident attack, triggers a wave that deals 70 frigid damage (+70 bonus to [[Frozen]] Bloons) to all bloons on screen and freezes all damaged bloons for 8 seconds, then rapidly shooting out ice balls for 3 seconds, at a rate of 0.1s per ice ball. While shooting, ice balls have a 30° angle deviation. Ice balls can affect all except White and Purple, and ignores White properties, and deals 30 damage that doesn't penetrate multiple layers and 200 pierce. Ice balls can bounce off obstacles and the edges of the map, and can rehit bloons after bouncing off obstacles. They last for up to 15 seconds on screen.

For its rather steep price, Popseidon is a powerful T5 that only has damage type issues and a lack of single-target damage. Due to its complete lack of White and Purple popping, it is more suitable for late-game when combined with additional defenses that can deal with Round 95's Camo Regrow Purple spam, because all its attacks are usually sufficient enough to clear out Super Ceramics and weaker MOABs and DDTs. Use its ability against a fast rush of bloons, freezing clumps while clearing out any excess bloons.
