Strategy
A strong choice; their starting book offers you an excellent repitore. Freeze is a powerful level 1 attack spell, ignoring both AC and EV to never miss. However, feel free to use whatever stones, tomahawks, javelins, and dartss you find in order to compensate for its 1-tile range. Frozen Ramparts is a very strong spell, dealing strong and guaranteed AOE damage as long as you can survive a few hits without moving. Ozocubu's Armour may give you just the defense you need. Summon Ice Beast caps out the Ice Elementalist's book with a strong summon spell that remains effective throughout the Lair and its branches. Hailstorm has an awkward range, but allows you to deal extra damage at range.
History
- In 0.27, Ice Elementalists are seperated from the shortened Book of Frost, but lose Summon Ice Beast anyway. Hailstorm now can hit monsters made of ice to compensate.
- Prior to 0.25, Ice Elementalists started with Throw Icicle instead of Frozen Ramparts, and gained Hailstorm.
- Prior to 0.14, Ice Elementalists only started with 1 level of Spellcasting.
