This attack is composed of two parts. First, the '''Ice Beam''' itself which is a short-lived blue-colored beam similar to [[Ray of Doom (BTD6)|Ray of Doom]] which travels instantly to the edge of the map ignoring blockers, it has a radius of 2 units and Bloons that are hit by it are frozen and grow icicles: | This attack is composed of two parts.

Second, the '''Ice Shards''', which are a series of projectile bursts created by a secondary invisible "beam" that is launched in the same direction as the main Ice Beam, it travels at a speed of 150 units/s with a lifespan of 4s. Bursts of shards are periodically created as it travels through the air and each one occurs with a delay of 0.5s after the invisible projectile has passed over and it creates 6 shards in a circular pattern (shifted 45°). Each shard has a radius of 5 units, and travels in a straight line with an initial speed of 350 units/s but they decelerate until disappearing after traveling ~41 units. The shard spawn cooldown is affected by degrees and [[attack speed]] buffs such as [[Master Builder]]'s Power Glove. Each shard also reduces Heat of [[Blastapopoulos (BTD6)|Blastapopoulos]] by 60. | Second, the '''Ice Shards''', which are a series of projectile bursts created by a secondary invisible "beam" that is launched in the same direction as the main Ice Beam, it travels at a speed of 150 units/s with a lifespan of 4s.

Eclipse of Fimbulwinter has a special effect that causes a Boss Bloon's skull effect to be negated if the skull was triggered between the moment the freeze is applied and the end of the ability (when the lighting returns to normal), which can be triggered within 20 seconds. Once the effect is triggered, the Boss will thaw early if it was frozen. This effect can only be used once per Boss tier. Specific interactions with Bosses are as follows: | Eclipse of Fimbulwinter has a special effect that causes a Boss Bloon's skull effect to be negated if the skull was triggered between the moment the freeze is applied and the end of the ability (when the lighting returns to normal), which can be triggered within 20 seconds.
