Talk:Ice Monkey (BTD7PotA)/@comment-39510841-20190527004647/@comment-27014396-20190528062743

A ridiculous and unfounded assumption at best. First of all, Embrittlement can make Bloons take more damage but does nothing to increase radius or slow down immense hordes of Bloons, which Arctic Wind did. In fact, back in BTD5 the Ice Monkey's Arctic Wind could stop Round 63 in its tracks. All you needed was a single Sun God and the Ceramic rushes would never get through. A BTD6 5/x/x Ice Monkey would still have a t i n y radius, and would do nothing to stop DDTs or BADs from rushing through your defenses. On the other hand, BTD5's Arctic Wind has a huge range that revolutionized the strategy behind the Ice Monkey.

And in BTD7PotA, if Embrittlement still existed, it would be even more useless because of the super-fast and extremely tough MOAB-Class Bloons which Embrittlement wouldn't do a thing to.
