Ice Shards BTDB

Ice Shards in BTDB Mobile

Ice Shards is an upgrade for the Ice Monkey (Ice Tower in BTD5 and BTDB1), first released in BTD5 Generation. It is characterized by the production of shards via a shardable status effect onto affected Frozen Bloons. The monkey utilizes its fists to freeze bloons, likely additionally producing enough force to slightly crack affected Frozen Bloons such that these shards create shrapnel effects.

The Ice Shards upgrade in the Bloons TD 5 Generation follows along the "hard and cold" upgrade path, increasing the hardness of affected Frozen Bloons, although Ice Shards is a slight outlier in that its freezing resembles an embrittling of bloons (its successor upgrade would later be the Embrittlement upgrade, which inflicts vulnerability onto bloon properties), the latter of which would become the trend upholding the Ice Shard's upgrade lineage in the Bloons TD 6 Generation games. While both variants retained Permafrost along their respective generational upgrade lineages, Deep Freeze and Absolute Zero in the BTD5 Generation were moved along the Arctic Wind's upgrade lineage.
