In particular, this article needs: Ice Monkey popping White Bloons in CT (one of the images in the wiki mixes Deep Heat and Camo-flogged, which isn't that accurate...).
Deep Heat greatly increases Ice Monkey's, Arctic Knight's and Popseidon's utility, allowing them to pop white bloons and letting other towers pop frozen bloons. This also affects Sentry Expert's Cold Sentry and Ball Lightning's cold-touching lightning ball, preventing dissynergy with sharp-attacking defenses. The frozen popping ability of this relic does not let Ice Monkeys without Re-Freeze freeze frozen bloons, so players cannot have 3-2-0 Ice Shards create shards from its own attacks, it still needs supporting towers or Embrittlement for activating its shards. Likewise, the Cold Sentries still cannot permafreeze bloons, as this relic lacks the capability to allow refreezing of bloons.
For Corvus, the frozen issues can be counteracted by frozen-popping spells like Spear and Ember even without Deep Heat; usually, there won't be so many freeze-related problems with Corvus when compared to typical towers.

These Bloon properties aren't prevalent enough to justify such small bonuses compared to Raw Damage or MOAB/Ceramic Damage.

Trivia[]
"Deep Heat" likely is a play on the Deep Freeze upgrade and "heat", which together implies the combination of heat and freezing to pop the White Bloon property.
