Permafrost has strong utility in the late-game for stalling {{B|Ceramic Bloon|BTD6}}s, granting extra time for abilities to recharge, and crosspathing to 1-1-0 enhances its stalling capability further. In addition, the permanent 50% slow to {{B|Golden Bloon|BTD6}}s greatly aids in popping them. When used as a crosspath for Tier 3+ Ice Monkeys, Permafrost is recommended when the [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo]] detection and [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead]] & {{B|DDT|BTD6}}-popping power granted by its succeeding upgrade, {{B|Cold Snap|BTD6}}, are desired. | |||
