About Frostflare
Frostflare is the skyborne frost powerhouse, unlocked for 1,000 coins. With 140 health, 12% armor and 260 speed, Frostflare is both sturdy and quick. Optic Burst fires fast blue-hot visor blasts that pierce two monsters and chill them on impact, Arctic Breath freezes a forward cone and follows it with a short Sky Surge, and Heroic Resolve regenerates health after Frostflare avoids damage for a few seconds.
Best playstyle
- Survivability
- Crowd control
- Higher difficulties
Strengths
- The best combination of health, armor and speed on the roster.
- Built-in regeneration rewards clean play and reduces dependence on health drops.
- Chilling, piercing shots slow the monsters you are already killing.
Weaknesses
- Arctic Breath is a forward cone — it does not cover monsters behind you.
- Damage is solid rather than spectacular.
- Regeneration only kicks in when you stop getting hit, so it will not save you mid-swarm.
Best weapons for Frostflare
Rocket Launcher adds burst damage that Frostflare otherwise lacks. Laser Rifle pairs with piercing visor blasts for long lanes of damage. Freeze Ray overlaps with your built-in chill.
Best upgrades
Power Fists and Split Shot raise damage, which is the kit's main gap. Focus Core lets you breathe more often. Because of Heroic Resolve, Hero Vitality is good but less urgent than on fragile heroes.
Beginner strategy
Face the biggest group before using Arctic Breath. After a messy moment, step away from monsters for a few seconds so Heroic Resolve can heal you.
Advanced strategy
Use the Sky Surge after Arctic Breath to reposition. On Legend and Nightmare, where health drops are rarer, plan your route to avoid chip damage so regeneration does the healing.
Boss strategy
Excellent for long fights like Venom Bloom. Freeze the adds with Arctic Breath and keep visor blasts on the boss, stepping away between patterns to regenerate.
Best difficulty
One of the strongest picks for Legend and Nightmare, where reduced health drops make self-healing very valuable.
