On top of those improvements, Icicle Impale is able to freeze MOAB class bloons and apply permafrost to them (if crosspathed with [[Permafrost (BTD6)|Permafrost]]) for half effectiveness (permanent -25% speed).

Icicle Impale is a unique tower that performs a mix of support and damage, being especially strong against {{B|DDT|BTD6}}s while also neutralizing other non-BAD blimps relatively well. However, it faces fierce competition from {{B|Super Glue|BTD6}}, which replicates its functionality at a cheaper cost and pulls ahead when used with {{B|Sauda|BTD6}} or {{B|Pop and Awe|BTD6}}. | |||
Icicle Impale is best paired with towers (both damage and support) that fare well on dense rounds (which it struggles to), such as {{B|MOAB Press|BTD6}} and {{B|Glaive Lord|BTD6}}. 0-2-5 is the superior crosspath, despite 2-0-5's Permafrost capabilities and innate DDT-freezing capability, due to 0-2-5 granting much-needed attack speed and pierce. Use 2 {{B|Acidic Mixture Dip|BTD6}}s and {{B|Radar Scanner|BTD6}} to allow the 0-2-5 Icicle Impale to handle DDTs. | |||
