 *[[Fire Magic]] suggestions:
 **Statues are stationary, so you can hit them with [[Sticky Flame]], [[blink]] away, and repeat the process when they stop melting. [[Starburst]] kills them even faster.
 **If you have [[Fireball]], you don't even need to be in their LOS to hit them: stay around a corner and target an adjacent square.
 *Those with [[Iron Shot]] and similar can make good use of it here, as ice statues have abysmal EV.
 *Characters without ranged options should pile on the cold resistance, then charge the statue from the closest available cover. Depending on your equipment and abilities, further buffing oneself or [[Scroll of blinking|blinking]] into melee range may also be recommended.
 *Ice statues can't [[see invisible]]. Attacking them while [[invisible]] allows you to [[stab]] them and greatly reduces the odds of them casting anything at you.

 ==Useful Info==
-'''Ice statues''' are stationary guardians which use assorted [[Ice Magic]] to kill you from a distance and summon [[ice beast]]s while you're in their [[LOS]]. Unlike normal [[statue]]s, ice statues are immune to [[wands of digging]] . Instead, use [[fire]] or [[Lee's Rapid Deconstruction]] to make short work of them. They are commonly found in the [[Ice Cave]], and occasionally accompany [[Antaeus]] in the depths of [[Cocytus]].

+**Making a wall of [[Conjure Flame|Conjured Flames]] works in theory to impede [[ice beast]]s and block ice spells. In practice, actually making a wall and maintaining it takes enough time and effort that you're probably better off just blasting the statue.
