Freezing causes a Bloon to stop moving and become immune to sharp attacks.{{fn|Specifically, in the mobile versions of ''Bloons TD 5'', ''Bloons TD Battles'', and ''Bloons Monkey City'', they become immune to Piercing-type and Ice-type damage, and in ''Bloons TD 6'', ''Bloons TD Battles 2'', and ''Bloons Adventure Time TD'', they become immune to Sharp-type damage. In the Flash versions of ''BTD5'', ''Battles'', and ''BMC'', and in all prior games, the ability to damage frozen is separately defined for each projectile, since damage types do not exist. Ice Monkeys also cannot damage frozen Bloons without Re-Freeze in ''BTD6'' and ''Battles 2'', though this is caused by a projectile filter, not the damage type.}} Most freezing attacks only last for a limited time and affect a limited number of [[Bloon layer|layers]], wearing off before the duration ends if all affected layers are popped. Prior to ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'', [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s cannot be frozen at all. In ''Bloons TD 6'', ''Bloons Adventure Time TD'', and ''Bloons TD Battles 2'', certain freezing attacks can freeze MOAB-Class, though it reduces their speed to a set amount rather than stopping them completely.

In the mobile versions of ''Bloons TD 5'', ''[[Bloons TD Battles]]'', and ''[[Bloons Monkey City]]'', [[White Bloon]]s and [[Zebra Bloon]]s are always immune to freezing; if an Ice Monkey with Snap Freeze pops a [[Rainbow Bloon]], it does not freeze its Zebra Bloon children, and if it pops a Zebra Bloon (when buffed to affect White Bloon properties, such as by an MIB or the [[Ice Fortress]]), it only freezes the [[Black Bloon]] child, not the White Bloon child. The exception is Absolute Zero, which can always freeze White Bloons and Zebra Bloons.{{fn|Internally, Absolute Zero inflicts a different status effect from freeze, named <code>AbsoluteZero</code> | In the mobile versions of ''Bloons TD 5'', ''[[Bloons TD Battles]]'', and ''[[Bloons Monkey City]]'', [[White Bloon]]s and [[Zebra Bloon]]s are always immune to freezing; if an Ice Monkey with Snap Freeze pops a [[Rainbow Bloon]], it does not freeze its Zebra Bloon children, and if it pops a Zebra Bloon (when buffed to affect White Bloon properties, such as by an MIB or the [[Ice Fortress]]), it only freezes the [[Black Bloon]] child, not the White Bloon child.

For example, if an Ice Monkey pops a Rainbow Bloon, it does not freeze its Zebra Bloon children unless it is buffed to damage White Bloon properties. Additionally, in ''Bloons Adventure Time TD'', if a Bloon splits into multiple children when popped, an attack that both deals damage and freezes only freezes one of its children. | ||
Some freezing attacks inflict additional effects, such as [[Ice Shards]], [[Permafrost]], [[Viral Frost]], and [[Icicles]], which are separate from freezing (though a Bloon that is immune to freezing is usually immune to these effects as well). It is possible for a Bloon to have multiple of these effects, i.e. if an Ice Monkey with Icicles hits a Bloon, then an Ice Monkey with Ice Shards hits the same Bloon. | Some freezing attacks inflict additional effects, such as [[Ice Shards]], [[Permafrost]], [[Viral Frost]], and [[Icicles]], which are separate from freezing (though a Bloon that is immune to freezing is usually immune to these effects as well).
