Embrittlement

Can hit MOAB-class Bloons. All hit Bloons become brittle, taking extra damage while frozen, and losing Lead immunity for a short time. | ||

Embrittlement is the Ice Monkey's path 1 tier 4 upgrade in Bloons TD 6.
Its attack now applies brittle to all bloons hit, which has the following effects:
- Temporarily (for 2 seconds, reapplied on each attack) makes affected bloons take damage from attacks that would not deal damage to lead or frozen. This effect does not work on other immunities like black and white bloons (most importantly, does not make DDTs vulnerable to explosion damage).
- Temporarily makes affected bloons take +1 damage from all sources (for 2 seconds).
- This effect also stacks with Super Brittle's debuff
This effect soaks through layers along with ice shards, and they both soak for 1 more layer (3 in total, 4 if crosspathed with Deep Freeze). Shards can also strip Camo and Regrow properties, unlike its preceding upgrade which only can with its blasts.

Strategy
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), 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 DDTs, and Embrittlement + Overdrives is a powerful strategy against Boss Bloons (except Vortex). Bloon Sabotage 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 is faster than the debuff duration, allowing for a permanent debuff assuming constant attacks. Deep Freeze is mildly useful, allowing self-sharding in the absence of external speed buffs, but generally unnecessary in 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 is not necessary unless interacting with multiple Ice Monkeys.

- Now has Camo detection
- Now removes Camo and Regrow properties from Bloons it freezes
- Range increased ― 20 → 25

| “ | Ice Monkey power is currently too bottom heavy and mid-to-higher tiers are neglected, so some tweaks to mid-tier upgrades have been made. — Update notes |
” |
- Upgrade cost reduced ― $3,000 → $2,200
- Now applies the Permafrost effect to White and Zebra Bloons (bug)
- Note: Unconfirmed
- Now applies the Razor Shards effect to White and Zebra Bloons (bug)

Ice Shards requires Re-Freeze to be able to damage Frozen Bloons, even under the influence of a X-3-X MIB Village (bug) - Note: Unconfirmed
- No longer allows frozen Bloons to take damage from Sharp attacks (bug)
- Overall cost increased by $50 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
- Can now target and hit MOAB-class
- Note: Can apply damage, debuff, and decamo, but not freeze or permafrost
- 4-0-1, 4-0-2
- Larger Radius no longer prevents the Ice Monkey from stacking its debuffs (bug fix)

- Overall cost increased by $50 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
| “ | 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 and buffing the damage Ice 3xx Ice Shards to compensate for some of its reduced pierce. — Update notes |
” |
- Shard damage increased ― 1 → 2
- Pierce reduced ― 40 → 30
- Note: Pierce with Deep Freeze is unchanged
| “ | 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 |
” |
- Pierce increased ― 30 → 40
| “ | We want to try out allowing the Ice Shards sub-projectile to benefit from all sources of damage buff, as currently this path gets nice support use sometimes but can’t do much on its own in the base game — Update notes |
” |
- Ice shard: damage is no longer capped (allowing for buffs)
Description changed ― "Can hit MOAB-class Bloons. All hit Bloons become brittle, take extra damage while frozen, and lose Camo properties." → "Can hit MOAB-class Bloons. All hit Bloons become brittle, taking extra damage while frozen, and losing Lead immunity for a short time."
| “ | Ice Monkey value is limited at low levels where quick & spaced Bloons are the main trouble, so the cost for many low tier upgrades is moving up to higher tiers instead. — Update notes |
” |
- Upgrade cost increased ― $2,200 → $2,300
Overall cost is unchanged (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
