Recommended Skill Sets
Speed Control Suppression Build
Playstyle
At the start, use Frost Descent to apply Freeze and restrict enemy. Quick Freeze reduces Speed to ensure first strike. First Strike for stable damage. Ice Toss to finish low-HP targets.
Why this set works
Utilize Frost Descent + Quick Freeze dual control to restrict enemy actions. First Strike secures priority, Ice Throw for cleanup. The Ice Diamond trait gains damage when enemy has high energy costs, but this build doesn't actively stack energy costs, relying on base control and priority for stable damage.
First Strike
Why pick this skill
Core damage skill with low 55 Energy. Priority +1 compensates for speed disadvantage, ensuring stable turn order.
Frost Descent
Why pick this skill
Core control skill. 0 Energy Cost directly grants 4 Freeze stacks, greatly limiting enemy actions and combining with Trait for damage amplification.
Flash Freeze
Why pick this skill
0 Energy Cost, applies 2 Slow marks, further restricting enemy Speed line, paired with Freeze for dual control.
Ice Toss
Why pick this skill
High-power Physical damage skill, 90 Energy cost, applies SPD -30 to weaken enemy turn priority, used for finishing or suppression
Energy Blast Build
Playstyle
At the start, use Ice Binding to stack energy cost. Anticipate enemy defense with Instant Zero to further stack energy cost. Then First Strike/Ice Crystal Drop enjoy trait damage boost for harvest.
Why this set works
Built around the trait 'Ice Drill', using Ice Bind + Instant Zero to rapidly stack enemy energy costs, allowing First Strike and Ice Crystal Drop to enjoy high damage bonuses. Instant Zero as a Counter skill can counter enemy defensive actions.
Ice Bind
Why pick this skill
Core Energy interference skill, 0 Energy cost, 2-hit combo increases all enemy skills' Energy cost by 1 per hit, quickly stacking trait damage bonus.
Instant Zero
Why pick this skill
0 Energy Cost, increases all enemy skill Energy Costs by 3 when responding to defense, a powerful Energy-stacking method. Pairs with Ice Bind to quickly trigger the trait.
First Strike
Why pick this skill

Icicle Drop
Why pick this skill

Freeze Burst Build
Playstyle
At the start, use Frost Descent to apply 4 Freeze layers. Snowball triggers doubled power for burst. Blizzard supplements control. Hail for Counter finishing or disruption.
Why this set works
Using Freeze stacks as core, Frost Descent for quick stacking, Snowball for doubled burst when enemy has status, Blizzard to supplement Freeze stacks, and Hail for Counter cleanup. Ice Drill Trait as bonus, not actively stacking Energy cost.
Snowball
Why pick this skill
Core damage skill with low 55 Energy. Priority +1 secures turn order; doubles power + additional Freeze when in Response state, enabling extremely high burst damage.
Frost Descent
Why pick this skill
0 Energy Cost, directly applies 4 Freeze stacks, creating "response state" conditions for Snowball, triggering doubled Power.
Blizzard
Why pick this skill
High-power Physical damage skill, 85 Energy cost, applies 1 layer of Freeze. Provides additional control and damage, combined with Frost Descent to quickly stack Freeze layers
Hail
Why pick this skill
High-power Physical damage skill, 105 Energy cost, additionally increases enemy Energy cost by +3 when in Response state. Combines damage with disruption, used for finishing
Notes
- Bruce is an Ice-type Physical attacker with 60 Physical Attack, 68 Physical Defense, and 54 Speed, overall fitting a slow tank role.
- Trait "Ice Drill": For every 1 point of total energy cost in the enemy's skill set, this pet's attack power increases by 10%. This trait encourages maximizing enemy energy costs, and combining with energy-increasing skills can significantly boost damage output.
- Core mechanics revolve around "Freeze" control and "Energy cost increase": restricts enemy actions and triggers trait-based damage amplification.
- Low Speed, needs to rely on priority moves or control effects to compensate for move priority disadvantage.
