Description

The Snow Minion was the fourth enemy that appeared in Outpost 32 in the Operation I.C.E Event. Currently, it can only appear in Sandbox mode. It has lower health and defense than the Packed Ice, but is significantly faster than it. It also has one ability, Snowball Throw, where it throws a snowball at a tower or unit, stunning a tower for 1 second or dealing 50 damage to a unit.

Logbook Description

"Snow Minions are rascals who enjoy terrorizing other frost creatures with snowballs. It’s believed the Snowmen learned this habit from watching the Snow Minions. While universally despised among the frost army as pests, their cunning nature makes them valuable distractions. They will throw snowballs at towers and units to freeze or slow."

Appearance

The Snow Minion is an entity with blue skin. It wears a white robe with a hood, which shrouds its head in darkness, only two glowing white eyes being visible. It haso two blue horns coming out of its hood, with the right one being bigger. It wears a grey shirt and pants. It picks up snowballs which it throws at enemies.

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 Snow Minion spawns in large hordes. Because of this, crowd control towers like the Golden Pyromancer, Electroshocker or Pursuit.
  • The Golden Pyromancer and Electroshocker are also able to drop its defense.
  • Some single target towers like the Brawler, Golden Crook Boss or Cowboy are also helpful as in comparison to enemies that appear earlier, it has far more health.
• Later on, high DPS towers like the Golden Minigunner, Accelerator or Ranger can easily deal with the Snow Minion.
