What Counters What?

Frigost < Omega: Well, it's kinda of a hard match between these too.

First of all, Frigost can reach 1.3 defense, while Omega can probably reach to 1.4 defense.

Secondly, Frigost has 1 damage, while Omega has 0.9.

Thirdly, Frigost can slow Omega's walkspeed, which greatly decreases Omega's evasion, especially when Buster Slam misses. However, this can probably be counter with Tortoise Shell.

Finally, Omega can tear down defense with ease, Frigost cannot. However, Frigost can gain defense easily and deal some good damage with Glacier Shield.

With their skills evenly matched, it's all based on their shields. While Frigost's has the counter attack with his Guard and has a lot of staggers to go with Frigost's Guard, Omega seems to be greatly dependent on his Guard+ and gains more uses of it in battle, especially with the fourth standard attack, which constantly deals damage to the staggered/stunned enemy.

This may be a close match, but Omega has a higher probability to win than to Frigost.
