| ~ Short description |
Ice King (from Adventure Time) is a hero that players unlock in Bloons Adventure Time TD. He has mediocre range, and his main attack pops and freezes bloons in his radius, much like an Ice Monkey with Snap Freeze. He is unlocked by completing the Ice Kingdom adventure Winter is Coming. His main attack is based off the Ice Monkey's freeze attack, while his upgrades consist of adding attacks resembling the Tack Shooter and Ballistic Missile, and upgrades based off of some of Ice Monkey's upgrades. He costs $700 to place.

Star Boost[]
Ice King will receive the following permanent boosts as he levels up:
- 2 stars - Base attack cooldown decreased by 0.1*
- 4 stars - Base attack cooldown decreased by 0.1*
- 6 stars - Base range increased by 2
- 8 stars - Base attack cooldown decreased by 0.1*
- 9 stars - Base attack cooldown decreased by 0.1*
- 10 stars - Ice King can freeze and pop white/zebra bloons
*Shows "attack speed increased by X" in the official patch notes and in the game - this is misleading. The attack speed stat is the inverse of attack cooldown.
Strategies[]
Due to the radial nature of Ice King's attacks (much like a Tack Shooter, but with a much larger possible range), he is best placed where his range extends across tight corners or large curves.
Ice King can help dealing with groups of bloons as Winter Weather will slow all bloons within its very large radius. Putting him at a good spot together with high-pierce towers that can also pop frozen and zebra bloons (like Supermonkey and Flame Princess), Ice King can be very efficient on dealing with bloons and MOABs (when the player owns big freeze). CryoJet, when used with him, can help greatly slow bloons except the BAD.
Since the Ice King can be placed on any surface, he can be placed on the lava in Flame Kitchen and the water in Reconditioning Chamber, allowing him to avoid the negative effects that he may receive if he is standing on land on those two maps.
He has only a limited amount of range giving items that he can equip - specifically only items whose range effects are improved with Ice King. Those items are: Ice Crook, Black Bow tie, Arrow of Ice, and Powerometer are the best of these. Speed-boosting items like Baker's Shard work with him as well.
Tips[]
When selecting equipment to boost the Ice King's damage output, do not give Ice King any trinkets or weapons (unless this weapon has a desired non-damage effect) that are supposed to boost damage output to all kinds of bloon. Offending trinkets include the Royal Medal for Heroic Bravery, Power Ring of Damage, and Demon Heart. They do not do anything to his ice shard or arrow attacks, from which most of the King's damage output is derived from, due to a glitch. Trinkets that give extra damage to only restricted types of bloon, such as the Engineers Blueprints, Paper Plate Mask, and Treetrunk's Dagger function normally and correctly boost his projectile damage output against those specified types of bloon, Googoomamameter also functions normally with them as long as it's not Ice King, who holds it. And not only that, instrument characters that have instrument that boost damage to allies don't affect his shard attack either. It's weird, that this "bug" occurs only to characters with multiple projectiles damage, like frags and grapes of Bomb characters, not to Max or Sai. It's almost like when nerfing Laser Vision on Supermonkey from 2 projectiles to 1(bad if you try to stack damage before nerf) and separating Triple Barrels with Bloontonoium Tips (bad if you tried to stack damage before nerf) on Commander Cassie, leaving other multiple projectiles characters alone wasn't in their plans.
Ice Kings frozen effect messes with all characters, except Wand characters, bomb characters, Max, Juggernaut Max, Sai, Supermonkey, Commander Cassie and PB. And that's because it makes them equip Dagger of Chilled Glass, which is not necessarily for them. Captain Cassie and Sai have so many weaknesses, they need Robo-Monkey Visor anyways, ,Max has upgrade against frozen bloons, Juggernaut Max with Juggernaut upgrade has no weaknesses against lead or frozen, Supermonkey has Laser Vision against frozen, Commander Cassie has Bloontonium Tips against frozen, PB, C4 Charlie, Sam and FP are natural frozen poppers, those are the characters who have no problem popping frozen. Another problem with freezing or slowing is that BAD is immune to it, so no extra damage of Dagger of Chilled Glass against it, while characters who are weak to frozen bloons can totally damage it until it releases it's children bloons.
