 Compared to [[Forge Lightning Spire]], hoarfrost cannons deal more damage if both cannons have line of fire (and if the spire can't [[doublezap]]). In addition, the cannons are more consistent - always firing if able and never missing, inflict Frozen, and use the standard monster AI. However, there's nothing stopping you from using both spells at the same time.

-A mid-game spell that summons allies and deals damage over time. Assuming both cannons have line of fire, it has decent MP efficiency, good turn economy, and some versatility (worse than other ally spells as the cannons are stationary).
+A mid-game spell that summons allies and deals damage over time. Assuming both cannons have line of fire, the spell has decent MP efficiency and good turn economy. The cannons can also help block attacks, although they are worse than other ally spells as the cannons are stationary.
 Due to the spawning radius, this spell tends to perform better in wider areas, as the cannons are more likely to have line of fire. In an open area, you can use it to [[kite]] single enemies. To make the most of the cannons, it may be good to stay in the fight so that monsters will target you instead of the cannons.
