Tips & Tricks
- Frederick's spells can be brutally powerful. If he manages to get a Spellforged Servitor on the field, he essentially becomes twice as deadly. Frederick is an excellent opponent to use those scrolls of silence or phial of floods against. His melee skills may be decent (particularly if he has a weapon with a dangerous brand), but they're much less likely to deal 100+ damage to you in a single turn.
- Alternatively, try to fight him at at extreme long range, popping spells like Freezing Cloud and then backing away. If you can hit him with a curare dart first, this kiting process will be even easier.
- Summons can help block Frederick's Bombard, but they won't stop his Plasma Beam.
