glacial trail - any tips to not die on hard?

[TheAwesomeBastard]

every 10 levels your monkeys freeze except for ice monkeys and the hero.. anything else works?

Don't underestimate the juggernaut, that's my tip.

Plan your placement timing, and space them out. Try to avoid buying towers right when other towers are frozen, as that will just compound the problem in the long run.

The freeze isn't "every ten rounds, period". Its ten rounds after the monkey is placed.

I believe by the end I had a crossbow or two up front for cheap moab damage, a druid for cleanup, a fighter plane for more moab damage, and geraldo up at the top, a tack sprayer/overdrive...somewhere or other for pickling and sharpening, and spamming gerry fire almost whenever i could. And some other stuff, like shooty turrets crammed in places nothing else could go, but i forget what. I think i even had space for a farm or two up top?

Take advantage of this being rather long for an expert track.

It's if anything easier than geared because you get 80% uptime instead of roughly 50 percent uptime. take advantage of the long track and go with more slightly weaker cheaper towers than expensive towers, and take advantage of the loops for tacks.

Actually even the hero gets frozen.

Well, yes, so you need to buy your gerry fire etc on rounds when he's not frozen. However, the gerry fire you've already used is frozen or not based on the tower it's attached to, not based on whether geraldo is frozen or not. considering the limited space, gerry fire is a pretty good damage boost. There's probably better options, but again, it's a long enough track that unless you're on CHIMPS (in which case follow a dedicated youtube guide), you can afford to just have 2-4 towers gerry fired up at all times.

SHooty turrets ARE frozen based on him being frozen, as they are his sub towers, so keep that in mind

Yes I'm aware and that's why I think Geraldo is the best hero for the map. Though this does seem like something that may be patched in the future, like the downdraft/shove helis still pushing while frozen.

It's not chance based...

It works for me. That's what matters.

If you mistook me for an expert in Bloons, I apologize for whatever I wrote that gave you that false impression.

Just letting you know ;)

It's just every 10 rounds since placing that tower that determines when it freezes.
