As a standalone tower, Cold Snap's strengths are against the Round 31-40 {{BTD6|Golden Bloon}} and for stalling the Camo [[Regrow Bloon (BTD6)|Regrow]] {{BTD6|Ceramic}} insides of {{BTD6|DDT}}s, both with the 2-1-0 crosspath.

Strategy
This section was last updated for: version 49.3
As a standalone tower, Cold Snap's strengths are against the Round 31-40 Golden Bloon and for stalling the Camo Regrow Ceramic insides of DDTs, both with the 2-1-0 crosspath. Otherwise, Cold Snap is used as a crosspath for Tier 3+ Ice Monkeys of the other two paths when the innate ability to affect Camo, Lead, or both is desired. However, when external support for Camo and Lead can be obtained at a reasonable cost, such as 2 Acidic Mixture Dips and 1 Radar Scanner for Icicle Impale, crosspathing with Cold Snap is not recommended.

“
Embrittlement being a ‘camo reveal’ has not been viable due to the price, so T2 Metal Freeze has been granted camo detection to allow this tower to somewhat hold off camos while it saves up to become a reveal.

“
Ice Monkey base pierce is too high, very easily countering large numbers of strong Bloons early, mid or late in the game for small investment, leading to very low tiers of ice monkey (below t3) being highly effective spam options over upgrading your ice. We are reworking some of this base pierce to require crosspath investment [...]

- Pierce reduced ― 40 → 30 (extra pierce moved to Deep Freeze crosspath)
“
Lowest tiers of ice monkey are far too effective for their cost against ceramics, with this scaling well all the way to round 100, we feel like ice duration against ceramics needs to be reduced to counter this but for now this reduction will only apply until T3.

”
- Freeze duration for Ceramic Bloons is now reduced by 50%
- 2-0-3, 2-0-4, 2-0-5
- Cold Snap now grants Camo Prioritization to Cryo Cannon and above
“
We’re happier with more recent freeze changes succeeding in some of the intentions of older nerfs, given the base tower value in races being hit far more than intended we’re going back over the pierce for Ice Monkey base & middle crosspath.
