"It's Squashing Time!"
~ Pat Fusty in-game description

Pat Fusty is a Hero that was added in Version 1.7.0 for Bloons TD Battles 2. He is the fourth new Hero that was added in the game. He is also the fourth hero in the game to get the opportunity for early access material, introduced on 6th November 2022.

Pat Fusty slams down bloons every 1.1s and hits up to 7 bloons, dealing 2 damage, 1 damage to the first target, and +2 Ceramic damage. He gains more damage, pierce, and attack speed with higher levels. At Level 5+, he can slap bloons, knocking them back at 2x speed, and replaces every 5th slam. Level 6+ allows him to briefly stun bloons, and Level 13+ to even more briefly stun blimps too.

Pat Fusty has two activated abilities: Rallying Roar (Level 3) and Big Squeeze (Level 10). His Rallying Roar grants extra damage to nearby towers, and even pop all visible bloon types at Level 8+. His Big Squeeze ability squeezes the strongest blimp, but cannot attack or activate his Rallying Roar while squeezing. Big Squeeze much quickly squeezes up to 6 blimps at Level 20.

He costs $900 in-game cash. He is unlocked with a one-off purchase of Monkey Money5000. He has one Hero Alt, Fusty the Snowman, which is unlocked with 40,000 Pat Fusty XP and Monkey Money5000.

~ Fusty the Snowman in-game description

Fusty the Snowman is a Hero Alt of Pat Fusty in Bloons TD Battles 2. Instead of being a pure reskin of a hero, Fusty the Snowman offers a variety of sidegrades compared to the original Pat Fusty, offering a different playstyle. Unlike in the game Bloons TD 6, Fusty the Snowman is oriented on freezing and providing bigger buffs to exclusively Ice Monkeys.

Fusty the Snowman has two activated abilities: Chilling Cheer (Level 3) and Crushing Ice (Level 10). His Chilling Cheer has a much wider radius, but buffs only Ice Monkeys and gives them bonus attack speed on top of extra damage. His Crushing Ice ability squeezes much slower but produces a cloud of damaging snow upon destroying the affected blimp.

In addition to modified activated abilities, Fusty the Snowman's stuns are replaced with freezing effects, which match his freezing cold appearance. Also, he is able to be buffed by activated abilities from Snowstorm and Absolute Zero.

He costs $900 to place in-game.

Strategy[]

Summary[]

Both variants of Pat Fusty are valuable for their knockback slaps, especially knocking back MOABs with natural leveling. Each of the Fusties have a special advantage for supporting nearby defenses with his activated abilities.

Summary (Pat Fusty)[]

Pat Fusty is a support-oriented hero providing strong utility for strategies. His rallying roar provides bonus damage that scales best with high projectile towers. His stunning and knockback are valuable assets for reducing progress of bloons including MOAB-class at higher levels.

Summary (Fusty the Snowman)[]

Fusty the Snowman is a specialized support-oriented hero designed to optimize Ice Monkeys. As such, he is best combined with Ice Monkeys for the full effect. His specialized buffs are very strong with specific synergies especially Ice Shards, although much of his other special attacks are overall weaker than his normal counterpart. His freezing capabilities can be strong in combination with defenses that can pop Frozen Bloons.

Tips[]

  • Both Fusties are too expensive to place on Round 1 without losing a considerable amount of eco. Instead, opt for a simple early-game strategy and then opt towards purchasing the hero. Neither Pat Fusty nor Fusty the Snowman can hold off on their own against constant eco sends.

Tips (Pat Fusty)[]

Tips (Fusty the Snowman)[]

  • Fusty the Snowman's Chilling Cheer is most effective in combination with Ice Shards and Icicles.

Version History[]

Pat Fusty (Version History)[]

Pat Fusty had been nerfed considerably since release, with major reductions to his slam and slap pierce, knockback slaps, Rallying Roar's uptime, Big Squeeze cooldown, leveling speed reduction, base cost increase, and Level 7 pierce decrease. The base cost increase makes him no longer viable as a starting hero nor very practical for Round 2 placement.

Pat Fusty has several notable loadouts, including Tack-Village-Ice, and Dartling-Buccaneer-Ice. Compared to Frosty, normal Pat is popular with high-projectile loadouts that less depended on Ice Monkeys. He isn't quite as meta as Frosty, but still quite popular for his various synergies with many different tower options.

1.7.0 (Pat Fusty update, compared to BTD6 during Version 33.0)
  • BUFF Level 20 Big Squeeze now can crush MOAB-Class Bloons faster.
  • BUFF Big Squeeze has no initial cooldown
  • Change Level 8 and Level 9 upgrades have been swapped.
1.7.1
  • NERF Level 5+ pushback from Slap attack reduced by 33%
1.7.2
  • NERF Pat Fusty Level 3 Rallying Roar ability duration reduced 8s → 7s
  • NERF Pat Fusty Level 3 Rallying Roar ability cooldown increased 45s → 50s
1.8.0
  • NERF Level 10 ability Cooldown increased 20s → 30s
  • NERF XP required per level increased by 7.14%
1.8.1
  • NERF Pat Fusty base cost increased ($800 → $950)
1.8.2
  • NERF Level 7 pierce bonus reduced (+10 → +3)
1.9.0
  • NERF Level 1 slam pierce reduced (10 → 7)
  • BUFF Level 7 slam pierce bonus increased (+3 → +4)
  • NERF Level 5 slap pierce reduced (10 → 7)
  • NERF Level 15 slap pierce reduced (20 → 14)
2.1
  • BUFF Base Cost: $950 → $900
  • BUFF Level 1: slam blast radius 8 → 10 (+2 to all future levels too)
  • BUFF Level 1: pierce 7 → 8
Similar to Ezili, Pat Fusty and Fusty the Snowman no longer have much of a place in the meta and so we would like to give them some small early-game buffs for now.
~ Ninja Kiwi
2.2
  • BUFF Level 6: stuns bloons for 0.3 → 0.45 seconds
We’re making a small buff to encourage Pat Fusty to be utilised more, since he has fallen off in popularity in the highest arenas.
~ Ninja Kiwi
3.2.4
  • BUFF Level 19 slam and aoe damage 10 → 15
  • BUFF Level 20 ability can grab up to 4 → 6 MOAB class
Pat Fusty and Fusty the Snowman’s top levels do not unlock quickly and are not worth the cost to buy them. We have enhanced the top 2 levels so that they are a bit more valuable now.
~ Ninja Kiwi
3.3
  • BUFF Level 8 Rallying Roar ability now temporarily allows all nearby towers to pop all bloon types
Pat Fusty has been neglected for a while now. We added in this interesting change to Rallying Roar which fits in nicely since Fusty the Snowman’s Chilling Cheer also upgrades at this level.
~ Ninja Kiwi
3.3.2
  • BUFF Level 14: Rallying Roar ability duration 10s → 12.5s
Pat hasn’t received much attention for a while, with plenty of other heroes overshadowing him. We’ve upped his level 14 Rallying Roar duration so that he can better stand out as a dominant late game support hero.
~ Ninja Kiwi
4.1
  • BUFF Level 11: Increases damage +1 -> +2. Also affects Level 19.
  • BUFF Level 16: +5 bonus ceramic damage now also applies to moab class bloons
  • BUFF Level 17: Attack rate 0.55s -> 0.4s
As Pat isn’t getting much attention recently, we’ve increased his damage and attack speed on his later levels, which also results in him being more effective at stalling MOAB class bloons.
~ Ninja Kiwi

Fusty the Snowman (Version History)[]

Frosty the Snowman had been nerfed considerably since release, with major reductions to his slam and slap pierce, freeze duration, knockback slaps, Chilling Cheer uptime, Crushing Ice cooldown, leveling speed reduction, base cost increase, and Level 7 pierce decrease. The base cost increase makes him no longer viable as a starting hero nor very practical for Round 2 placement.

Fusty the Snowman has several notable loadouts, including Dartling-Ice-Village, Dartling-Ice-Farm, and Dartling-Buccaneer-Ice. Compared to normal Pat, Frosty is meta in combination with Ice Monkey in combination with Ice Shards for defending against grouped rushes in particular.

1.8.0
  • NERF Level 10 ability Cooldown increased 20s -> 30s
  • NERF XP required per level increased by 7.14%
1.8.1
  • NERF Fusty the Snowman base cost increased ($800 -> $950)
1.8.2

2.1

  • BUFF Level 1: pierce 7 → 8
Similar to Ezili, Pat Fusty and Fusty the Snowman no longer have much of a place in the meta and so we would like to give them some small early-game buffs for now.

3.2.4
  • BUFF Level 19 slam and aoe damage 10 -> 15
  • BUFF Level 20 ability can grab up to 4 -> 6 MOAB class
Pat Fusty and Fusty the Snowman’s top levels do not unlock quickly and are not worth the cost to buy them. We have enhanced the top 2 levels so that they are a bit more valuable now.
~ Ninja Kiwi
3.3
  • BUFF Level 8 Chilling Cheer's MOAB-class bonus damage for Ice Monkeys increased from 2x to 3x
We wanted to buff up Fusty the Snowman as well and are doing so by improving his interaction with Ice Monkeys.
~ Ninja Kiwi
3.3.2
  • BUFF Level 2: now allows all frozen bloons to be popped by all projectile types
  • BUFF Level 14: Chilling Cheer buffs himself and Ice Monkeys attack rate by -20% → -50%
We want Fusty the Snowman to focus in on Ice monkey strategies, although not many towers are compatible with Ice Monkeys because the damage immunities of frozen bloons get in the way. By making Fusty the Snowman allow all frozen bloons to be popped by all damage types, we aim to broaden the range of tower combinations that are possible for Ice Monkey. Level 14’s higher damage buff doesn’t help out Ice monkeys much, so now it additionally provides a larger rate buff.
~ Ninja Kiwi
3.3.3
  • BUFF [Bugfix] Fixed Fusty the Snowman's ability to allow frozen bloons to be popped by any monkey not working with some synergies
  • BUFF [Bugfix] Fixed xx4 Ice Monkey not creating icicles if used alongside Fusty the Snowman.
4.1
  • BUFF Level 8: Now applies the 3x moab class damage buff after the +1 damage buff has been applied, rather than before. This means that the +1 damage also gets multiplied - an Ice tower with 2 damage will now deal (2+1)*3=9 damage to MOAB class when buffed, instead of 2*3+1=7.
  • BUFF Level 11: Increases damage +1 -> +2. Also affects Level 19.
  • BUFF Level 16: +5 bonus ceramic damage now also applies to MOAB class bloons
  • BUFF Level 17: Attack rate 0.55s -> 0.4s
Same changes as Pat Fusty, plus a minor tweak to the level 8 Ice Monkey buff to increase its effectiveness.

Bugs[]

Current
  • [3.3.2] If Snowpat is Level 2+, some interactions with Frozen Bloons still can't be popped by all damage types. In Version 3.3.3, this was slightly patched, with still some problems with popping of Frozen Bloons created by Cryo Cannon and Icicles.
Patched
  • [3.3.2] If Snowpat is Level 2+, Icicles will be unable to produce icicles onto bloons it damages.
  • [1.7.0] Chilling Cheer is able to noticeably slow BADs. (patched in 1.7.1)
