== Description ==
The '''Frost Mystery''' was an [[Enemies|enemy]] that appeare exclusively in [[Outpost 32]] as part of the [[Frost Invasion Event]]. Compared to the [[Snowy]], the '''Frost Mystery''' had higher health and faster speed. Upon its death, the '''Frost Mystery''' spawned a random enemy from a set list. The enemy spawned depended on the wave.
 
When it initially spawned on wave 8, the '''Frost Mystery''' could spawn the [[Snowy]], [[Frozen (Outpost 32)|Frozen]] and [[Cold Mist]]. From wave 11 onwards, the '''Frost Mystery''' could spawn the [[Packed Ice]] and [[Snow Minion]]. From wave 13 onwards, the [[Unstable Ice]] could be spawned. From Wave 19 onwards, the [[Crying Angel]] could be spawned.
 
==Appearance==
The '''Frost Mystery''' had blue translucent skin. It is faceless. The '''Frost Mystery''' had a small neon blue humanoid inside its torso, likely representing the enemy it spawned upon its death.

**The [[Pyromancer]] can also be used to decrease defense of the [[Packed Ice]], which can spawn from wave 11 onwards. Splash damage towers like the [[Mortar]] can deal full damage to it.
*''[[Frozen (Outpost 32)|Frozen]]''
***Additionally, as with all enemies in the [[Frost Invasion Event]], the [[Pyromancer]] deals double fire damage to the '''Packed Ice''' (though normal damage is not doubled).
*''[[Cold Mist]]''
*Some of the enemies the '''Frost Mystery''' can spawn, such as the [[Packed Ice]] or [[Snow Minion]], are quite tough to defeat if your defenses aren't strong enough. You may want to get multiple Level 2-3 [[Minigunner]]s or [[Accelerator]]s to combat these.
*[[Packed Ice]] (from wave 11)
*Be aware that the [[Cold Mist]], that can be spawned from the '''Frost Mystery''', is a hidden and ghost enemy, which means only certain towers can detect it.
*[[Snow Minion]] (from wave 11)
**The [[Crying Angel]], that can be spawned from the '''Frost Mystery''' from wave 19 onwards, is a flying enemy, which means only air-based and cliff towers can detect it.
*[[Unstable Ice]] (from wave 13)
*If a '''Frost Mystery''' is near the end of the map with low health, try not to kill it, as it may spawn a high health enemy like the [[Packed Ice]] which will reduce your base health dramatically, or lead to a defeat.
*[[Crying Angel]] (from wave 19)
*Due to the '''Frost Mystery's''' speed, you may want to use the [[Electroshocker]], [[Toxic Gunner]], [[Freezer]] or [[Sledger]] (Level 3+) to slow the '''Frost Mystery''' down.
 
==Strategy==
*As '''Frost Mysteries''' and their spawns come in hordes, towers that can deal damage to multiple enemies like the [[Pursuit]], [[Pyromancer]], [[Gladiator]] and [[Demoman]] are effective.
*High DPS towers like the [[Accelerator]] are recommended for later waves, boosted by the [[Commander]] and [[DJ Booth]].
*Certain spawned enemies require specific towers to be reliably kept under control.
**[[Cold Mist|Cold Mists]] can slip past if hidden defense is short. Multiple Level 2+ [[Minigunner|Minigunners]] ensure safety against them.
**[[Ranger|Rangers]] are your best bet against [[Crying Angel|Crying Angels]], especially if they spawn in huge numbers from '''Frost Mysteries'''.
**Watch out for the [[Unstable Ice]]. If too many spawn, they can stun many towers. Exercise caution and place your towers away from the path. The [[Pyromancer]] is also recommended to reduce its stun radius, making it stun less towers.
*The [[Pyromancer]] deals double fire damage against the '''Frost Mystery''' and its spawns. It is also a multi-hit tower, so it is quite effective.
**It can reduce the stun radius of the [[Unstable Ice]] by 33%.
*If a '''Frost Mystery''' is near the end of the map with low health, try not to kill it, as it may spawn a high health enemy like the [[Packed Ice]], which will reducereducing your base health dramatically,more orthan leadif toit awasn't defeatkilled.
*Slowing towers, while generally not needed, can still be useful. The [[Toxic Gunner]] is notable for its permanent 50% slowdown while still doing fairly decent DPS.
 
== Trivia ==
*The '''Frost Mystery''' was similar to the [[Mystery|Mysteries]] and [[Mystery Boss]]es that appear in every gamemode.
*WhenSummoned enemies from the '''Frost Mystery''' was killed, the summoned enemy would bewere called "''[[Mystery]]'s Enemy______''" instead of "'''Frost Mystery's''' Enemy______".
