Description[]

Overview[]

Chilltide

Tidal Chill frezing bloons

Tidal Chill adds an octohedral crystal on the forehead of the crown. Also, the trident's tip is now cone-shaped with drill-like spirals, while the blade-holder is spiky.

In terms of attacks, the Tidal Chill freezes bloons in addition to the extra pierce provided by Sharper Prongs to each of the "Stab" area-of-effect radiuses.

Targeting Priorities[]

Tidal Chill targets bloons using the standard targeting priorities. Its trident attack shoots straight movement projectiles.

  • First: Targets the first bloon visible within its range.
  • Last: Targets the last bloon visible within its range.
  • Close: Targets the closest bloon visible within its range.
  • Strong: Targets the strongest bloon visible within its range.

Adding Echosense Precision grants camo detection to the Mermonkey, but does not add the Camo Prioritization targeting option.

Tidal Chill offers a method of freezing bloons without relying entirely on the low range of Ice Monkeys. It also can synergize with Ice Monkeys by being able to stop bloon movement with the help of each other.
