'''Ice Shards''' is the [[Ice Monkey (BTD6)|Ice Monkey]]'s path 1 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. Bloons frozen by this Ice Monkey will add a "ice shards" status effect that soaks up to two layers, or up to three layers with 3-2-0 crosspath, but will not trigger it from the initial freezing damage. The duration of the "ice shards" is equal to the duration of the freeze. Popping a bloon affected by Ice Shards will produce 3 shards of ice, 120° apart within 360°, and deal 2 damage onto up to 3 bloons. Shards can be affected by external damage buffs but not external pierce buffs. Shards have the shatter damage type, which pops Frozen but not Lead. Only towers that can pop frozen can trigger this ice shards effect, since it requires to pop the bloon layer (given enough attack speed, 3-0-2 ice can pop its own ice shards as well).

Ice Shards is outstanding at chaining lots of pops if allowed to have another tower to pop the frozen layers, especially on continuous game modes such as [[Race Event]]s and CT Time Attack. Having innate camo detection, a well-timed Ice Shards deals with Camos handily without relying entirely on another Camo popper. However, Ice Shards is rather slow, so it shouldn't be entirely relied on for popping dense clumps. Outside of Races and CT Time Attack, Ice Shards is often bought to transition to [[Embrittlement (BTD6)|Embrittlement]], which has more reliable popping power and support in addition to de-leading and bloon damage debuffs, rather than just decamo and degrow. | |||
