Frozen-Popping Power

Purple-Popping Power (also referred as frozen-popping power) is the capability for a tower to affect Frozen Bloon properties. This has appeared throughout the entirety of the Bloons TD series, where the Ice Ball (precursor to Ice Tower and Ice Monkey) first appears in the original Bloons Tower Defense and subsequently all games following it. Freezing sources such as Ice Monkeys are the ones that cause Frozen Bloons to spawn, and sharp attacks normally cannot pop bloons with Frozen Bloon properties. Bloons Wiki depicts attacks that can affect frozen with this icon:, depicted as a hollow Frozen Bloon from Bloons TD 6.

Many towers will need an upgrade to allow it to pop Frozen. The classic example of this is Sonic Boom prior to Bloons TD 6, as it had been a staple in providing frozen popping power. Typically sharp projectiles that pop Frozen have the Shatter damage type. Explosives are always able to pop Frozen and are normally the examples for popping such. The Ice Monkey across has an unusual history with its relationship with already-Frozen Bloons, which has led it to not affect frozen by default in all iterations of the Bloons TD series except Flash versions of BTD5 games and Bloons TD Battles Mobile.
