Description
The Snowballer is an exclusive offensive support tower that could have been obtained by triumphing Outpost 32 on the Easy difficulty. It can currently be obtained via a gamepass for 249.
The Snowballer throws snowballs at enemies, dealing damage to them. These snowballs also apply chillness to these enemies, which slows down enemies. At Level 3, they can also freeze enemies for a few seconds after reach max chillness. Between Level 0-2, these can only deal damage to a single enemy, however, at Level 3, they become explosive, dealing damage to multiple enemies in the explosion. These enemies receive damage based on their distance from the center of the explosion. The further away they are, the less damage they receive. Additionally, this also grants it the ability to bypass enemy defense, which it is affected by at Level 0-2.
The Snowballer is mainly considered to be an early-game tower due to its low cost and low DPS.

Strategy
- The Snowballer's DPS makes it only reliable as an offensive tower in the early game, though even there it can struggle in harder modes like Molten or Fallen modes.
- This means that it is mostly a support tower used to slow down enemies in harder modes, though it can be used as an early-game tower in easier modes quite well.
- The Snowballer can slow down and later, freeze enemies with its snowballs.
- Do note, however, that the Snowballer cannot hit more than one enemy at Level 0-2, making it worse against crowds in comparison to other freezing towers like the Cryomancer or Frost Blaster.
Trivia
- The Snowballer is the second tower to have three upgrades. The first being Hallow Punk.
- The Snowballer has the lowest total upgrade cost in the game.
- During Outpost 32, if Easy difficulty is selected, the Snowballer is included in all loadouts as a sixth tower, even if the player had not obtained the Snowballer.
