Combat Behavior
Section titled “Combat Behavior”Left click: crystal shells
Section titled “Left click: crystal shells”Hold left click to lob crystal shells on a steady rhythm, spending one snowball each. A shell drifts and dips slightly in flight, applying about 4 s of Frostburn on a direct hit.
When a shell ends (on hit, on a wall, or at the end of its flight), it raises 2 glacier spikes from the ground directly below:
- Spikes last about 2 s, deal damage the whole time, apply about 5 s of Frostburn, and can chill enemies to slow them
- The more existing spikes near the spot, the taller the new ones grow
- With no ground below, the shell scatters ice shards in all directions instead
Right click: glacial wave
Section titled “Right click: glacial wave”Push a wave that hugs the ground toward the cursor, dealing about 1.2× the left-click damage. As it travels it raises a spike every short step, each taller than the last, up to a ridge of about 16 before it fades. It climbs small ledges and falls off cliffs to find new ground.
Right click has about a 1.3 s cooldown, and left click briefly pauses after using it.
