Description

The Packed Ice was an enemy that appeared in Outpost 32 as part of the Operation I.C.E Event. Currently, it only appears in Sandbox mode. It has a high health for its debut and 100% defense, reducing most forms of damage by 50%. It is, however, slower than the enemies that appeared before it, but it is still quite fast. It also has the Freeze Immunity, making it immune to being chilled or frozen.

Logbook Description

"Packed Ice is a specialized foot soldier of the Frost Army. During their creation, their core beliefs are embedded within their body, marked by an exposed heart. Their motto is simple: become the best defender, for survival depends on it."

Appearance

The Packed Ice is a foot soldier made out of ice. It has a large, right arm with two grey chains wrapped around it and a hole in its torso, showcasing a piece of ice held by two blue bars. On its head, it has two white eyes with large, blue brows.

Event Strategy

As this enemy only appears through Sandbox mode, no strategy section is made for its current version. Instead, a strategy section for the one that appeared without Sandbox mode in Outpost 32 is listed instead.

• The Packed Ice has quite health. Because of this, towers with decent DPS, like the Golden Crook Boss, Brawler, Pursuit or Cowboy.
  • Multiple of them also spawn, making crowd control towers like the Golden Pyromancer or Electroshocker also useful.
    • Both of these towers can also be useful at reducing its high defense or, in the case of the Electroshocker, also slow it down.
• Freezing towers cannot be used to slow it down or reduce its defense, as it has the Freeze Immunity. It is not immune to anything else, making other options like burn and stun still viable.
• Later on, high DPS towers like the Golden Minigunner, Accelerator or Ranger can easily deal with the Packed Ice.
