Strategies[]

  • The Cryo Helicopter can be used along with the Cryo Blast to freeze bosses indefinitely.
  • Cryo Helicopter shouldn't be used as your primary DPS tower. Though it can move anywhere and is capable of dealing damage at base level unlike Cryo Blaster, it can only hit two targets at a time and is very costly for the DPS it provides.
  • Due to its map-wide coverage, Cryo Helicopter can get much more usage on longer maps.
    • However, Cryo Helicopter is also extremely useful on short maps. Its incredibly high freeze amount can quickly halt dangerous enemies and bosses which is necessary to beat the shortest maps in the game on the highest difficulties.
  • Since the Cryo Helicopter makes towers deal more damage without directly buffing them (by making enemies take more damage), it pairs extremely well with towers like Helicopter, Warship, and XWM Turret.
    • Additionally, the enemy vulnerability can be stacked with more traditional buffs such as John's Rage or Medic's Kritz. Damage buffs don't stack (with the exception of the Commander), but since the Cryo Helicopter debuffs enemies rather than buffing towers, it still has an effect on the DPS towers being buffed.
  • Beware that if the Cryo Helicopter dies, the ensuing explosion will freeze towers, which can be very annoying or outright detrimental.

Trivia[]

  • The Cryo Helicopter is voiced by Drakochela.
  • The Cryo Helicopter is based on the Cryocopter from Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3.
  • The Cyro Helicopter Mi-Ice Hind Upgrade is based of the Mi-24 Hind Attack Helicopter
  • The Cryo Helicopter is the only tower to have base Stun ImmunityStun Immunity.
  • In concept art for the pilot of the Cryo Helicopter, he is visibly cranky, contrasting with the happy tone in his voice lines.
    • This was acknowledged, and in response it was said that he went to therapy and now has a positive outlook on life.
