01 · SETUP

Starting setup

Availability depends on your unlocks

Recommended character

Wizard Bunny

Use 15% ice damage amplification and the starting Ice Bolt spellbook. Physical damage amplification decreases by 20%, so do not rely solely on physical hits. The penalty to the physical damage portion remains after evolution.

Fruit skewer 6 total

  • Iceberry(Glacier)×3
  • Watermelon(Lake)×2
  • Tri-Tangerine(Elemental)×1

Wishing fountain Fountain usage 8 of 9

  • Ice VineCapacity 5
  • Endoditte’s PaperweightCapacity 3
Why this choice
Prepare Ice Vine and Endoditte’s Paperweight at the Wishing Fountain. This uses 8/9 capacity, and the items must be unlocked first. Then collect items in the same categories to complete the target combos.

Talents 50 points

  • Willpower20
  • Wrath10
  • Swiftness10
  • Wisdom5
  • Endure5
Why this choice
Willpower 20 adds 15 maximum HP and 25 maximum MP and provides 9 Wishing Fountain capacity. Wrath 10 adds 10% critical chance and 20% critical damage. Damage dealt to bosses and minibosses also increases by 10%. Swiftness 10 adds 10% attack speed, 8 evasion, and 1 dash charge. It also increases dash recovery speed and final weapon damage. Wisdom 5 adds 5 MP regeneration, 5 MP absorption, and 10 maximum MP to help sustain resources. Endure 5 adds 5 defense and grants the designated slab. Uses 50 points in total.

Recommended miracle

Snowfield Sentinel

  • Ice damage +9
  • Movement speed +10%
  • Gain 1 Glacier artifact (selected from unlocked, eligible candidates)
Why this choice
Add 9 ice damage and 10% movement speed to support ice attacks and spacing. Also gain 1 Glacier artifact. The granted item is selected from candidates that meet the unlock and eligibility requirements, so a particular core item is not guaranteed.

Stat priorities

  1. Ice Vine level and ice damage
  2. MP regeneration and maximum MP
  3. Frostbite application and bonuses against affected targets
  4. Core artifact levels and defensive stats

02 · SYNERGY

Target bonds and core items

Prioritize the items below when available. Reaching the target combo requires additional items of the same category and their placement; leveling an item alone does not increase the combo count.

Primary

Glacier

8Combo target
  • Ice Vine

    Using a special attack creates ice spikes that apply Frostbite to enemies hit. This item is needed for Garden of Needle Ice's orbiting effect.

  • Feet of the Ice Gull

    Applying Frostbite grants Frozen Touch, increasing ice damage. Keep applying Frostbite to maintain the buff.

  • Fluffy Fur Gloves

    Increase the ice damage taken by enemies with Frostbite. Apply Frostbite first to benefit from the effect.

Bond choices and conditions
Obtain Ice Vine and use the ice-damage bonus gained from inflicting Frostbite. You do not need every recommended item. Reach the target combo with other items in the same category and placement bonuses.
Support

Lake

6Combo target
  • Endoditte’s Paperweight

    Increase both maximum MP and MP regeneration to sustain abilities that consume MP.

  • White Branch

    Increase MP regeneration to help use MP-consuming abilities again.

  • Water Bag

    Maximum MP increases when MP is spent. This increase has a cap and a 5-second cooldown; it does not instantly restore the MP spent.

Bond choices and conditions
Maintain the MP needed for special attacks and blocking. You do not need every recommended item. Reach the target combo with other items in the same category and placement bonuses.
Support

Elemental

4Combo target
  • Magic Carrot

    Increase your highest elemental damage and movement speed to support your main elemental attacks and spacing.

  • Sharp Flint

    Increase critical chance and your highest elemental damage.

Bond choices and conditions
Increase the highest elemental damage to support ice damage. Check that ice is your highest elemental damage. You do not need every recommended item. Reach the target combo with other items in the same category and placement bonuses.

03 · HOW TO PLAY

Playing this build

1Early preparation

While using Default Sword and Shield, combine the starting Ice Bolt grimoire with weapon attacks. Physical damage amplification is reduced by 20%, so use magic to supplement your damage. Keep enough MP for Block and Cleave. Use the items prepared at the Wishing Fountain; the final weapon's unique effect becomes available after evolution.

2Upgrades and transition

Default Sword and Shield → Frost Shard → Garden of Needle Ice. Intermediate weapon effect: Cold Damage increases by 5. After the final evolution: With Ice Vine equipped, vines created by special attacks orbit you, and their cooldown is removed. Stay at a distance where the vines touch enemies, and keep using special attacks as MP allows.

3Combat loop

  1. Trigger Ice Vine with a special attack.
  2. Stay close to the enemy's side so the vines brush against it.
  3. Guard through the next attack, then use another special attack if MP permits.

Boss fights

Overlap vines near the boss without tanking repeated frontal hits. Prioritize movement when ground hazards appear.

Without the core items

Without Ice Vine, progress using Scabbard of Exorcism or the starting Ice Bolt while searching for it. Orbiting vines and cooldown removal are unavailable until you obtain Ice Vine.

04 · REVIEW NOTES

Cautions and scope of verification

Conditions to watch

  • Removing the cooldown does not mean infinitely many vines can coexist.
  • Ice Vine belongs to Glacier, not Frost Relic.

Needs further verification

  • The number that can orbit simultaneously and the rules for refreshing existing vines require further verification.
