Ice Shards is the Ice Monkey's path 1 tier 3 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. Bloons frozen by this Ice Monkey will add a "ice shards" status effect that soaks up to two layers, or up to three layers with 3-2-0 crosspath, but will not trigger it from the initial freezing damage. The duration of the "ice shards" is equal to the duration of the freeze. Popping a bloon affected by Ice Shards will produce 3 shards of ice, 120° apart within 360°, and deal 2 damage onto up to 3 bloons. Shards can be affected by external damage buffs but not external pierce buffs. Shards have the shatter damage type, which pops Frozen but not Lead. Only towers that can pop frozen can trigger this ice shards effect, since it requires to pop the bloon layer (given enough attack speed, 3-0-2 ice can pop its own ice shards as well).
Additionally, Ice Shards gains +5 range, from 20 to 25 (27 to 32 with 3-0-1).

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 and buffing the damage Ice 3xx Ice Shards to compensate for some of its reduced pierce.

- Shard: Damage increased ― 1 → 2
- Pierce reduced ― 40 → 30 (extra pierce moved to Deep Freeze crosspath)
“
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.

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

- Ice shard: damage is no longer capped (allowing for buffs)
“
Embrittlement had too much going on at T4 without much reason to use T3, as Ice Shards alone is already similarly priced to other Camo removal options and with the Primary category lacking in Camo detection, we have split Embrittlement up and introduced Camo removal at T3 so we can leave Embrittlement to focus entirely on being a damage support upgrade.
