Its trait Ice Drill increases power by 10% for each point of total Energy cost of enemy skills when attacking, with the core strategy being to maximize output by increasing enemy Energy costs.

  • Snowball Roll doubles in power and inflicts Freeze during response state, serving as the core burst skill.

  • Power Boost provides 100% Physical Attack bonus, is an important strengthening method.
  • Frost Descent, Quick Freeze, and Blizzard provide freeze and speed reduction control, but freeze stack benefits are relatively lower compared to energy cost mechanics.
