Embrittlement (BTD6)

Line 35:

Embrittlement is a very versatile but somewhat map dependent tower. If a good enough spot exists where it can target a decent length of the track (for example, in a 90º bend), it is a reliable source of decamo, de-lead, and damage amplifier, all within a cheap price.

It is best paired with towers that have high amounts of attack speed and projectiles with low base damage (like bottom path Tack Shooters, e.g. [[Overdrive (BTD6)|Overdrive]]), since the damage amplification results in a more significant DPS increase. Overdrives also benefit greatly from Embrittlement's de-leading, which allows them to damage {{B|DDT~~|BTD6~~}}s, and Embrittlement + Overdrives is a powerful strategy against [[Boss Bloon]]s (except {{B|Vortex~~|BTD6~~}}). {{B|Bloon Sabotage~~|BTD6~~}} is recommended if using Embrittlement as a de-lead, as slower DDTs allow Embrittlement to hit them more reliably.

For crosspathing, the middle crosspath is recommended, as the increased attack speed improves the rate of freezing and applying debuffs; more importantly, the rate from [[Enhanced Freeze (BTD6)|Enhanced Freeze]] is faster than the debuff duration, allowing for a permanent debuff assuming constant attacks. [[Deep Freeze (BTD6)|Deep Freeze]] is mildly useful, allowing self-sharding in the absence of external speed buffs, but optional for the lategame. Increased range from bottom path is only needed when it has many attack speed buffs (mostly in [[Freeplay]] and later tiers of Bosses), and [[Re-Freeze (BTD6)|Re-Freeze]] is not necessary unless interacting with multiple Ice Monkeys.
