Enhanced Freeze is the Ice Monkey's path 2 tier 1 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It increases the freeze duration from 1.5 seconds to 1.75 seconds and also increases attack speed by 33% (0.75x attack cooldown). Without additional upgrades that increase attack speed, the Ice Monkey attacks every 1.8s.

Duration of all, except the debuff durations from Embrittlement and Super Brittle, increase by the same amount as the freeze duration. Other attack speed benefits from other paths include:

Strategy

This section was last updated for: version 49.3

Enhanced Freeze is useful for starting Race Events when Mortar Monkey is banned, stalling Super Ceramic Bloons (with 1-1-0), and the Round 21-30 and 31-40 Golden Bloons (with 0-1-2 and 2-1-0, respectively). As a crosspath, it is recommended for Ice Shards regardless of the situation. Enhanced Freeze is recommended Embrittlement and Super Brittle outside of Freeplay and Tier 4/5 Boss Bloons, Cryo Cannon and Icicles when innate Camo detection is not needed, and Icicle Impale when both Acidic Mixture Dip and Radar Scanner can be obtained. In the cases of Ice Shards, Cryo Cannon, Icicles, and Icicle Impale, further crosspathing with Deep Freeze is strongly recommended.

  • Buff Pierce increased ― 30 → 40
  • Buff Can now pop Lead Bloons when buffed by Acidic Mixture Dip (bug fix)
Ice monkey Enhanced Freeze is too good at low tiers, allowing full stunlock of ceramics for very cheap, as the fire rate increase alone of this Enhanced Freeze is a powerful addition most of the increased freeze duration has been moved up as it makes more sense to have duration with the currently less desirable T2 Deep Freeze.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Enhanced Freeze freeze duration reduced ― 2.2s → 1.75s
    • Note: Deep Freeze unchanged
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
  • Nerf Pierce reduced ― 40 → 30
    • Note: Pierce with Deep Freeze is unchanged
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: reduced by 50% on ceramics
    • Note: Tier 3s and above unaffected
  • Buff Pierce increased ― 30 → 40
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
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $225 → $200
    • Buff Overall cost reduced by $125 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
  • Buff Can now be placed on water
5-1-0
  • Buff Main attack: Attack cooldown reduced ― 1.35s → 0.9s (attack speed increased by 50%)

  • Buff No longer fails to damage the round 40 MOAB in Easy mode (bug fix)
