Overview

Freeze is a status effect applied by towers that deal Ice Damage, such as the Cryo Blaster, and by the Cryo Blast power-up.

Frozen enemies are immobilized and encased in ice, though some enemies and bosses not meant to be frozen lack the visual effect. Freeze lasts eight seconds (three for bosses), After thawing, enemies cannot be frozen for eight seconds.

Enemies have two hidden stats: Body Heat and Body Heat Regeneration. Body Heat functions as a secondary healthbar reduced by Freeze. Body Heat Regeneration restores it every second until the enemy is fully frozen. Lower Body Heat applies more Slowdown to enemies.

Certain enemies, such as the Emperor, are immune to being frozen due to having extremely high Body Heat and/or Body Heat Regeneration.

Strategies

• Cryo towers work best together because of strong synergy.
  • Cryo Blaster can permanently slow down thawed enemies, increase the thaw time of enemies, and apply damage vulnerabilities to frozen enemies.
  • Cryo Ranger is a cost efficient, early game DPS tower which applies Freeze but cannot freeze bosses.
  • Cryo Helicopter has the highest single target Freeze per Second, but provides no additional debuffs.
  • Ice Breaker can apply heavy single-target Freeze with micro (or a Macro^[1]) using Ice Shard, but cannot keep enemies frozen.
  • Cryo Mortar is great at freezing hordes and has the highest range, but has low single-target freeze.

Trivia

• Converted towers cannot freeze other towers.
