__TOC__
==Description==
The '''Freezer''' is a ground [[Towers|tower]] that fires an ice beam and applies chill and slow down enemies, freezing at later levels. It can be bought in the store for {{Coins|650}}.

The '''Freezer''' targets a single enemy and fires a ''Frost Ray'', chilling the enemy and slowing it down. The chillness slowness effect stacks with each hit multiple times. This chillness effect also deals damage over time, chipping away the health of enemies affected by it. Starting from Level 2, it can freeze enemies. When the chillness slowness effect is higher than the max slowdown, the enemy will be frozen, which generally when targeting a single enemy takes four or five shots. Larger enemies will be frozen for a shorter amount of time than average sized enemies. Enemies with [[Freeze Immunity]] also cannot be frozen, slowed down or have their defense dropped by the '''Freezer'''.

At Level 3+, the '''Freezer''' fires in bursts, with a short delay between them. Additionally, at Level 3+, it drops defense by 10% every tick. It can only decrease an enemy's defense by 33%. For example, if an enemy has 50% defense, it will be decreased by 16%. On top of this, it will also start dealing damage over time with its chill at Level 3. Additionally at Level 4, the '''Freezer''' gains the ability to throw a '''Frost Grenade''', freezing enemies within an explosion radius.

The '''Freezer''' does well as an all-rounder support tower. Due to its generally low price and decent DPS, the '''Freezer''' can be a solid choice for early-game defense to mid game with very good cost efficiency. Towards late game, the '''Freezer''' is useful for stalling, defense melting and deal additional DPS through its damage over time, though its DPS is insufficient to deal with late-game waves alone.

The '''Freezer''' has [[Lead (Attribute)|lead]] detection from level 0 and [[Hidden (Attribute)|hidden]] detection from level 2. It has no placement limit.

==Strategy==
*The '''Freezer''' is an excellent choice to deal with early waves, especially when multiple are placed down, due to its cost efficiency and low price.
**Other towers should be used against higher health enemies like the [[Fallen Giant]].
**Later on, it does not have enough DPS to handle other enemies, due to their much higher health, but can still be used for stall.
*The '''Freezer''' can be used to deal with [[Lead (Attribute)|lead]] and [[Hidden (Attribute)|hidden]] enemies early on, which can be very useful in [[Hardcore Mode]]. 
** The '''Freezer''' plays a very similar role in early-game defense to [[Golden Scout]], making '''Freezer''' a viable alternative to it.
*The '''Freezer''' can be very effective at slowing down enemies, especially at Level 3+, as its burst count allows it to freeze an enemy in a single burst.
**It can be very effective at slowing down fast average-sized enemies, like the [[Fallen Rusher]] or [[Bolt]].
***It is much less effective against bigger enemies like the [[Fallen Giant]], as freeze time is reduced on larger enemies. It also cannot freeze or slowdown freeze immune enemies.
***While it cannot freeze [[Boss]]es as they are immune to freeze by default, they are not immune to the chillness slowdown effect unless they have the [[Freeze Immunity]]. However, [[Boss]]es are slowed down by much less than regular enemies.
*The '''Freezer's''' defense dropping ability can be useful for decreasing an enemy's defense, allowing your towers to deal more damage to it.
**However, do note that as the defense dropping happens when an enemy is frozen or slowed down. Because of this, freeze immune enemies cannot have their defense dropped.
**The defense drop can stack with other towers, such as the [[Pyromancer]], [[Electroshocker]], [[Toxic Gunner]] or [[Jester]], allowing you to remove all of an enemy's defense.
***Do note that only a burn defense dropping tower and a poison defense dropping tower, like the [[Pyromancer]] or [[Toxic Gunner]] are required to do this. The '''Freezer''' can still be used to speed up the process.
***However, the '''Freezer's''' defense drop does not stack with other freeze defense dropping sources, such as the [[Frost Blaster]]'s and [[Cryomancer]]'s defense drop.
*Unlike some other towers that slow down enemies, the '''Freezer''' has no placement limit.
**This means that, theoretically, you can easily stop a decent number of enemies from progressing for a long time.
**It is recommended to have multiple Level 3-4 '''Freezers''' set to ''Random'', as this allows them to slow down the highest amount of enemies.
*The '''Freezer''' is especially useful when paired with towers that have long charge-up times or a high firerate.
**One example would be pairing the '''Freezer''' with the [[Accelerator]].
*The '''Freezer''' can be quite useful when combined with towers that can deal damage to multiple enemies, such as the [[Demoman]], [[Mortar]] or [[Rocketeer]] as it can cluster up a group of enemies. This allows these towers to damage more enemies within their fixed attack radius.
*The '''Freezer's''' ''Frost Grenade'' ability is quite effective against crowds of enemies, due to it being able to freeze five enemies at once and freezing them for longer than with its regular attack.
**While it does freeze enemies for a longer amount of time, it is not recommended to use it on singular enemies as it has a hefty 15 second cooldown.
***This can be somewhat mitigated by having multiple Level 4 '''Freezers'''.
**This ability should not be used on enemies with [[Freeze Immunity]], as it will do nothing on them, wasting the ability.

==Trivia== 
*When the '''Frezer''' was first released, it did not have any statistics for its upgrade descriptions. Instead, its upgrade description was "sans ice gun".
*Before the [[Release v1.0|MEGA Update]], the '''Freezer''' had an ability called ''Ice Drop'', which dropped ice on the first enemy within the '''Freezer's''' range. This froze all enemies within a 10 stud radius for 6 seconds (except major bosses and those immune to the ''Ice Drop''). It used to cost {{Money|250}} and had a 75 second cooldown. 
** This ability was unusable against enemies under a roof since the drop would never collide with them. This did not apply to [[Crystal Cave]] as that roof was non-collidable.
**The '''Freezer's''' ''Ice Drop'' was able to freeze the [[Gold Titan]] and [[Molten Boss]] prior to the 15th of August 2019.
*Before the [[Overhaul v1.0|Overhaul Update]], the '''Freezer''' had another ability called ''Ice Age'' which froze all enemies around the '''Freezer''' in a 10-stud radius for about 3 seconds. It had a 30 second cooldown.
**Additionally, the '''Freezer''' gained the ''Frost Mark'' at Level 3. It slowed enemies down by about 20% for a short duration after they had thawed. 
***Any enemy with the ''Frost Mark'' effect could not be frozen by the '''Freezer'''. This included the [[Frost Blaster]]'s ''Frost Mark''.
**This was seemingly replaced by the ''Frost Grenade'' ability.
*Prior to the [[Release v1.0|MEGA Update]], the '''Freezer''' fired in bursts, similar to the [[Soldier]], except that it targeted different enemies with every shot within a burst.
**If there was only one enemy in range of the '''Freezer''', then it would target that enemy only once.
**However, if an enemy had [[Freeze Immunity|Basic Freeze Immunity]], then the '''Freezer''' could target those enemy multiple times.
**This burst functionality would later be re-added in the [[v1.11.0|Krampus' Revenge Update]], though it would target an enemy based on its targeting.
*Prior to the [[Overhaul v1.0|Overhaul Update]], the '''Freezer''' fired an explosive ice projectile which could freeze multiple enemies.
**After the 24th of December 2019, the '''Freezer''' was the only explosive tower to have direct damage.
***This meant that it could deal damage to a targeted enemy that had explosive immunity (like the [[Golden]]) but could not deal damage to other enemies with explosive immunity if they were not the intended target.
****This meant that the total damage was effectively doubled for the targeted enemy, if they were caught in the projectile explosion.
*This tower may be loosely based on the [[w:c:bloons:Ice Monkey (BTD6)|Ice Monkey]] from ''Bloons Tower Defense'' as well as the [[w:c:roblox-tower-battles:Cryo-Gunner|Cryo-Gunner]] from ''Tower Battles''.
*The original Level 1 upgrade name is a reference to ''R2DA's'' [[w:c:r2da:Frost Knuckles|Frost Knuckles]].
*Prior to the 5th of May 2023, the {{Color|Other|IcyTea}} skin decreased the '''Freezer's''' placement footprint. It was the only skin that could decrease the tower's placement footprint.
**It was also one of the only skins in the game to change a tower in any other way than its appearance at the time, with the other being {{Color|Premium|XR500}} [[Turret]].
*When the third act of the [[Lunar Overture Event]] released, the '''Freezer''', alongside all other freezing towers, were able to permanently stop enemies from moving, making them ridiculously strong. This, however, was fixed few hours later.
*Before the [[V1.11.0|Krampus' Revenge Update]], the '''Freezer''' was a Starter tower.
*The Level 4 upgrade name is a reference to the [[w:c:Staff of Ice|Ull's Arrow]] from ''Call of Duty''.
