'''Arctic Knight''' is the [[Mermonkey (BTD6)|Mermonkey]]'s path 2 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. In addition to the Ice Jet ability, tridents deal base 8 damage instead of 4, deal double base damage to MOAB-class, and grow in power faster (75% instead of 50%, 112.5% instead of 75% with 2-4-0). Wavelets also do 8 damage instead of 4.

The Ice Jet ability stops the trident attack, instead rapidly throwing ice balls with 30° deviation (10° with 0-4-1), every 0.1s for 3 seconds, with 45 seconds ability cooldown. By default, they attack targets anywhere onnscreen based on targeting priority. A targeting reticle can be placed anywhere on screen to only aim towards a specific point. Ice balls have 240 pierce, deal 20 damage without layer penetration, freeze bloons for 1.5s, and can hit the same bloon multiple times when bouncing off walls. Ice balls can bounce off walls but not the edges of the map, and last for up to 10 seconds (6.67 seconds with 2-4-0). The amount of ice balls can be increased by giving Arctic Knight attack speed buffs.

By default, this ability targets Bloons anywhere on-screen (even behind line of sight blockers) and prioritizes First, Last, Close, or Strong according to the tower's current targeting mode. The player can use the tower's Monkey Special to set a target position anywhere on-screen, which causes Ice Jet to aim at that marker instead. Using the Monkey Special again removes the marker and prevents it from being set again for 5 seconds afterwards. If the tower has a marker, then the ability is usable without requiring a Bloon to be on-screen, but if it does not have a marker, then the ability cannot be used if there are no Bloons on-screen, and if the tower does not have [[Camo detection]], then Camo Bloons do not allow the ability to be used.

Crosspathing with [[Trident Swiftness]] increases the projectile speed of the ice balls, but reduces their lifespan from 10 seconds to 6.67 seconds, resulting in the same maximum travel distance. Crosspathing with [[Echosense Precision]] reduces the random spread of the ice balls from 30° to 10° and allows the ice balls to hit [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloon]]s.
