Ice Monkey: Difference between revisions

In both [[Bloons Tower Defense (game)|Bloons Tower Defense 1]] or [[Bloons Tower Defense 2]], the Ice Tower has two upgrades that improve its low range and increase the duration of its freezing. In BTD 1, the tower costs 850 money, while in later titles it costs significantly less. With [[Bloons Tower Defense 3]], the introduction of permafrost, an upgrade that slows frozen bloons until they are popped and snap freeze, which allows the tower to deal damage. [[Ceramic bloons]] are also immune to freezing and were introduced in BTD 3, although this immunity to freezing would later be removed.

[[Bloons TD 4 (Flash)|Bloons TD 4]] and its [[Bloons TD 4 (mobile)|mobile version]] combined several upgrades from previous games while adding a new upgrade that slows nearby bloons passively. BTD 4 also adds [[zebra bloons]] that are immune to freeze and contain more white bloons.

In ''[[Bloons TD 5]]'', ''[[Bloons TD 5 Deluxe]]'', {{Mobile version|BTD5}}, ''[[Bloons TD Battles]]'', {{mobile version|BTDBM}}, and ''[[Bloons Monkey City]]'', the Ice Monkey has 2 upgrade paths. The first path focuses on freezing and clumping large amounts of bloons within its area with [[Arctic Wind (BTD5)|Arctic Wind]] and [[Viral Frost (BTD5)|Viral Frost]]. The second path focuses as a higher damage path with [[Ice Shards (BTD5)|Ice Shards]] and grants the [[Absolute Zero (BTD5)|Absolute Zero]] Ability.

In ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'' and ''[[Bloons TD Battles 2]]'', the Ice Monkey is classified as a [[Primary]] tower.  In both BTD6 and BTDB2 it was available from launch. The top path uses ice shards to pop bloons, remove properties, and cause them to take more damage. The middle path has a slowing aura and a stronger ability similar to its BTD5 counterpart. The bottom path uses a cannon to freeze bloons and MOABs over a longer range.

In ''[[Bloons Adventure Time TD]]'', the Ice Monkey is a Common [[Ally (BATTD)|Ally]], functioning similarly to its base tower counterpart in BTD6.
