Herald of Everfrost has a single attack that alternates between three Ice Lance Beams and one Snowstorm Roar.

Herald of Everfrost has a single attack that alternates between three Ice Lance Beams and one Snowstorm Roar. Its base range is about 46.

The Ice Lance Beam is an infinite [[pierce]] beam that creates a burst of 6 shards passively as it travels. Affected [[Bloon|Bloons]] are [[Freeze|frozen]] and given an "icicle" mutator that [[Damage|damages]] other Bloons nearby. The shard bursts are affected by degrees and [[attack speed]] buffs such as [[Master Builder]]'s Power Glove.

The shard bursts are affected by degrees and [[attack speed]] buffs such as [[Master Builder]]'s Power Glove. Ice Lance Beam itself also reduces Heat of [[Blastapopoulos (BTD6)|Blastapopoulos]] by 600.

Snowstorm Roar immediately applies a global freeze that damages and debuffs all Bloons, freezes all except [[BAD (BTD6)|BADs]] and [[Boss Bloon|Boss Bloons]], and removes [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo]] and [[Regrow Bloon (BTD6)|Regrow]] properties. Affected Bloons are frozen and debuffed for 10 seconds. The 10-second debuff affects all Bloons, including BADs and Bosses, and causes them to take +10 damage from all attacks and +40 additional damage (total of +50) from attacks that deal {{BTD6 dt|Cold}}, {{BTD6 dt|Frigid}}, {{BTD6 dt|Glacier}}, or {{BTD6 dt|Shatter}}-type damage. BADs and Bosses receive a visual effect to indicate that they are debuffed, but do not slow down.

{{screenshot needed|Ice platforms of Monkeys on screen far away from the Herald}}

After upgrading to Herald of Everfrost, all water on the entire map gains special ice platforms. The ice platforms themselves are functionally equivalent to normal ice platforms from [[Arctic Wind (BTD6)|Arctic Wind]] or [[Silas (BTD6)|Silas]]. Visually, the Herald of Everfrost's platforms are dark blue ice platforms.

* [[Dreadbloon (BTD6)|Dreadbloon]]: It stays in its current immunity, skips the ceramic shield, and stops the spawn of [[Dreadrock Bloon]]s. This does not work before the first skull due to Primary immunity. If the second skull is skipped, it keeps Military immunity, and the last skull only changes the immunity to Magic, causing Support immunity to be completely skipped.

* [[Phayze]]: Prevents the warp, keeping the Bloon spawn portal in its current position and also prevents it from setting up its Reality Shield.

* [[Blastapopoulos (BTD6)|Blastapopoulos]]: Does not spawn fireballs or pyroclastic rocks ~~and~~ its heat bar is ~~reset~~ to zero.

* [[Blastapopoulos (BTD6)|Blastapopoulos]]: Does not spawn fireballs or pyroclastic rocks. Additionally, in all cases, its heat bar is reduced by 10,000,000, effectively resetting its heat bar to zero.

*[[Blastapopoulos (BTD6)|Blastapopoulos]]: Another very strong matchup, with the Bloon damage debuff and Heat Bar reductions assisting projectile spam strategies significantly. Skipping a skull effect is beneficial to limit Pyroclastic Rocks or Meteors where your towers are close to the Boss, gaining more time to damage it.

Higher degrees are less important due to the debuff already having 100% uptime, but will be important if wanting more uptime on the Fimbulwinter ability. Higher attack speed will improve consistency of Snowstorm Roar's Bloon debuffs. Its direct damage stats don't matter too much with degrees but can help to an extent.

Higher degrees are less important due to the debuff already having 100% uptime, but will be important if wanting more uptime on the Fimbulwinter ability. Higher attack speed will improve consistency of Snowstorm Roar's Bloon debuffs, as well as cooling Blastapopoulos faster. Its direct damage stats don't matter too much with degrees but can help to an extent.

To maximize degrees from pops, the majority of them should come from a mixture of all Tier 5 Ice Monkeys and [[Icicles (BTD6)|Icicles]] spam. For cheapest T2 and T3 crosspaths for the most tiers, use 2-0-2 and 3-0-2, the cheapest Tier 4 for the most tiers is 4-0-2 [[Embrittlement (BTD6)|Embrittlement]], and for the most expensive use 2-4-0 [[Snowstorm (BTD6)|Snowstorm]]s. Icicles is still preferred for maximum degrees if placed over many rounds. [[Silas (BTD6)|Silas]] with his bonus T5 Ice Monkey provides a headstart to its degrees, but [[Geraldo (BTD6)|Geraldo]]'s [[Paragon Power Totem]]s are still generally preferred for that purpose.
