PVE PVP Offense Defense
Frost Ace.jpg Frost Ace
Purple Purple B C C -
Pros
  • Very good Ice Nuker with built-in Ice Boost and Master Assassin in Purple.
  • Vengeful Frost Fist is a heavy hitting Ice-element Physical attack with Bulwark Pierce that can Crit and autocasts Rebellion on hit. This allows him to crit infinitely at the cost of 5 MP.
  • Icy Rage gives him 20% to his accuracy to mitigate the chance of Vengeful Frost Fist missing.
  • Icy Rage and panel 2 provide a teamwide Ice damage buff, incredible for Democalypse and Avarice 14.
  • When activating Vengeful Frost Fist or when a party member (including self) reflects an attack, it does 50 Ice physical damage with Bulwark Pierce and 50% crit rate to a single enemy, and then proceeds to apply Might to the entire party.
  • If P3, can work as a budget Queen Frost option for Avarice 14 as he applies Repel Phys (Almighty) when anyone on his team performs a critical hit.
  • At P4, he applies Charge to self when he is about to act, allowing Vengeful Frost Fist to do even more damage.
Cons
Notes
  • Hee Ho
  • Since his Repel Phys (Almighty) only activates when a party member lands a Critical hit, Avarice 14's Kali's Goddess of Slaughter+ will still hit at the beginning of the turn. This can be avoided by using Jack the Ripper, who is the only demon who can crit before Kali's attack. This is still subpar compared to using Queen Frost.
  • Will trigger one heal from Shiva in A14 as Icy Rage with proc another chain of Destruction and Creation after repelling it the first time
  • Buffed during the 8/1/24 data update.
