Useful Info
Ice Fiends are a fiend, one of the most feared enemies in the game. Like all fiends, they have powerful magic attacks, tormenting and freezing you at range. Their melee is no slouch, either - their physical attacks deal up to 156 damage per turn. Fortunately, they are weak against fire as well as holy damage.
They are usually found in Pandemonium, Cocytus, and on the final floor of Dis. They can also be found in hard Ice Caves, or summoned by enemy casters.

Tips & Tricks
- Bring at least rC++ to minimize the mauling they'll give you in melee. You can acquire that plus immunity to torment by playing a lichform or undead character, but others will have to gather those resistances the hard way.
- As with any torment-capable monster, you do not want to give them several turns of free attacks against you as you rush into range. Don't waste turns charging into them if you're capable of luring them around a corner into attack range.
- Unlike Brimstone and Shadow Fiends, Ice Fiends are not that much less dangerous in melee unless you have significant cold resistance. If your quickest way to kill it is through melee, stack up as many buffs as you can, quite possibly including a potion of resistance if you lack good cold resistance. The usual tactic of attempting to lure it around a corner still applies.
