About Ice

The part of Ice that PvP players care about is the trident. It is scripted as part of the fruit rather than a sword, so it needs no sword stats and it can hit Blade users, whose passive parries swords. For a fruit main, that is a free melee option.

The Frost Walker passive freezes the water under your feet so you can walk across the sea, and other players can step on the ice you leave behind. It does not make you safe near water, though: you can still be pushed in and drown. Freezes hold enemies for one to two seconds, every move is multi-target, and [V] covers a wide radius, which helps in Raids and against Bosses.

Where Ice struggles is damage and the air. Base damage is low, projectiles are slow, hitboxes are small, and most of the moveset can't be used off the ground. Some moves also stop you from dashing, air jumping or using another move until the ice defrosts. The Elemental Reflex loses most of its value in the Second and Third Sea because NPCs there mostly use Aura.

We rate Ice as a good First Sea grinder that keeps a niche later thanks to the trident.
