Version 3.2

“

Absolutely Zero’s buff to Ice Monkeys is one interesting and obscure feature that many people may not know about, especially since the buff was not particularly significant. We have made this buff much more noticeable and included Fusty the Snowman so that it’ll hopefully now receive some more attention. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-5-X Absolute Zero	Ability: buff Ice Monkey attack speed more ― 150% → 200%  Ability: Now also affects Fusty the Snowman

Version 4.0.2

“

We’re providing a buff to an upgrade that doesn’t offer too much, to strengthen Ice Monkey’s early game a little bit. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-2-X Deep Freeze X-3-X Arctic Wind X-4-X Snowstorm	Freeze affects more layers ― 2 → 3

Version 4.1

“

Ice Monkey is useful for early game defense and late game support with stalling and debuffing, but provides pretty much no MOAB class damage with any of its upgrades. We would like to give it a bit more to offer by allowing Icicles to attack and damage MOAB class bloons. It won’t deal massive damage to them but it can be greatly buffed by Fusty the Snowman, so we will be curious to see what impact this change has. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-X-4 Icicles	Can now target and damage MOAB-Class Bloons, placing Icicles on them but not freezing them  Now deals +3 damage to MOAB-Class Bloons

Version 4.2

“

Absolute Zero lacks utility, not offering enough for its cost. We have added another benefit of using it, as well as reducing the cost of Ice Shards, in order to encourage Ice Monkey’s usage. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
3-X-X Ice Shards	Upgrade cost reduced ― $2,000 → $1,800
X-4-X Snowstorm X-5-X Absolute Zero	Ability reduces the speed of MOABs, BFBs, and DDTs to a lower amount ― 5 units/s → 2.25 units/s
X-5-X Absolute Zero	Ability speed modifier now soaks through MOAB-Class layers

Version 4.4

“

We’re giving Ice Monkey some extra MOAB damage and buffing its higher tier abilities to make it more useful in the late game. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-5-X Absolute Zero	Ability: freeze/buff duration increased ― 10s → 12s
X-X-3 Cryo Cannon	Upgrade cost reduced ― $1,750 → $1,300
X-X-4 Icicles	Damage to MOAB-Class increased ― +3 → +6
X-X-5 Icicle Impale	Icicle: damage to MOAB-Class increased ― +48 → +68

Version 4.6

“

We are reducing the power of Ice Monkey’s Deep Freeze and Snowstorm upgrades to make it easier to rush in the early and mid game and increasing the cost of the xx4 Icicles upgrade since this offers too much value for its cost. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-2-X Deep Freeze X-3-X Arctic Wind X-4-X Snowstorm	Freeze affects fewer layers ― 3 → 2
X-4-X Snowstorm	Attack speed buff to other Ice Monkeys reduced ― +100% → +50% Note: Does not affect x5x
X-X-4 Icicles	Upgrade cost increased ― $2,400 → $2,900

Version 4.10

“

Ice Shards is very strong despite recent nerfs and Snowstorm has become very powerful now that people are understanding how to use the attack speed buff more effectively. Some small nerfs to these two upgrades should hopefully pull them back in line. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
All tiers	Can now be placed on water
3-X-X Ice Shards	Upgrade cost increased ― $1,800 → $2,000
X-4-X Snowstorm	Upgrade cost increased ― $3,000 → $3,500

Version 4.11

“

Snowstorm is still an extremely effective stalling tactic, even with last update’s nerfs. We are increasing its price further in order to make it less efficient to micro. — Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-4-X Snowstorm	Upgrade cost increased ― $3,500 → $4,000
