Permafrost is the Ice Monkey's path 1 tier 1 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It applies permafrost to frozen Bloons, reducing their speed by 50% after they thaw out. The effect lasts for two layers, though the Ice Monkey's attack usually pops one layer, so it only really applies to two layers if the top layer has multiple points of health.

  • Buff Ability: No longer sometimes applies a weaker version of Permafrost (bug fix)
1-4-0, 1-5-0
  • Buff Snowstorm Ability: Now applies 50% Permafrost to MOAB-Class bloons (bug)
1-5-0
  • Buff Permafrost: slowdown to MOABs increased ― 25% → 50% (bug)
1-4-0
  • Nerf Snowstorm ability: No longer applies 50% permafrost to MOABs (bug fix)
1-5-0
  • Buff Snowstorm ability: Permafrost slow to MOABs increased ― 50% → 75% (bug)
    • Note: Does not apply to base attack
Permafrost was previously reduced to a lower price than we’d like to try increase desirability of this crosspath, but as the reworks to metal freeze have had more success there in pulling this path ahead we want to add a little back on here.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Upgrade cost increased ― $100 → $150
1-5-0
  • Nerf Absolute Zero ability no longer applies an excessively strong permafrost effect ― 75% → 25% (bug fix)
    • Note: 250 unaffected and retain 75% slowdown
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 [...]
— Update notes
  • Nerf 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.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Freeze duration for Ceramic Bloons is now reduced by 50%
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.
— Update notes
  • Buff Pierce increased ― 30 → 40
  • Buff 105 Icicle Impale should apply icicles correctly again (bug fix)
1-4-0
  • Nerf Damage type ― Shatter → Sharp (undocumented)
    • Note: Causes snowstorm ability to only have 1 pierce and unable to damage bloons
  • Buff Overall cost reduced by $100 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
  • Buff Can now be placed on water
1-5-0
  • Buff Arctic Wind: Can slow down small Bloons when crosspathed again (bug fix)
1-0-4
  • Buff No longer fails to damage the round 40 MOAB in Easy mode (bug fix)
