gold bloon perma frozen bug

[kirbo]

i posted this on the bug report as well but somehow I got a golden bloon remain permanently frozen while grinding the achievement.
420 ice with a village, 2/4 of the bloons that appear up until round 60 had this happen
heres a clip of it https://streamable.com/d748wc
i assume this is a bug and probably recent, its been a while since ive run this setup (i was getting the magic ones first) and it certainly didnt happen before
if it werent for sauda it would be stuck in there, it remained completely frozen until i decided to use the ability

Frozen bloons can't be hit by freezing damage again unless you use the xx2 re-freeze path "Can re-freeze Bloons that are already frozen"

It's kind of the entire point of that upgrade path, otherwise a frozen bloon is immune to additional freeze damage, intentionally.

This is even noted in the damage type wiki, frozen can't be effected by cold:

Most people use the bottom cross path for gold bloons for this reason

Try a mix of 042 or 402

edit: the permanent freeze part however does look like a bug, but the not being able to damage an already frozen bloon with cold again is expected

yeah thats pretty much what caught my attention, its supposed to unfreeze for a bit and then the ice would hit it again

I also faced that glitch while doing that. Either use Sauda's lvl 3 ability or place anything that pops ice
