The rule of thumb about Frigost is that if you're in his comfort zone (effective range) you're basically going to die unless a miracle happened or you just happen to be a bird with fake wings and a jetpack. As said multiple times, he lacks good kiting abilities and will have a hard time getting close to his opponents, if they aren't debuffed and especially far from him. And sucks to be him as Cryo and Tundrus can boost their movements tremendously, ensuring that they will never be in his zone. They also have movement debuffs too, which is going to make getting close to them even difficult. Go figure.

Block is what could make the Frigost compete against his opponents. It is much more effective against a Cryo, both mentally and physically. Because of Block, going in as Icy Monarch as a Cryo is almost a death sentence.

Almost? Yes, I said almost because of his Dry Ice (Icy Monarch mode), which turns the tide in every battle ever. His Frostfang (I.M) enables him to easily escape the Frigost too (but be cautious of Icicle's knockback and Glacier Shield). Also, his Cold Front grants him the ability to kite in this form with a really short cooldown, but it is unreliable because Frigost can end Cryo with Icicle and Glacier Shield if not careful. And lets not forget that the Cryo can bait Frigost into lowering his Block meter if he is smart with his moves (anyone could do that if they have a functioning brain too). But, I guess the only useful utility for Icy Monarch is when you need to run.

Cryo is much effective against him in normal modo with his ranged abilities and a kite-and-run mindset. Dry Ice isn't going to really save you even if Frigost is near you, but maybe it will.

Block is moot against Tundrus. His Snowballs would just make the Block meter go down faster without getting staggered. Also Snow Bomb, Warmth and Tundra makes Tundrus nigh UNTOUCHABLE.

Frigost's debuffs guarantee that no one can escape easily. Shatter Sword, fullstop. If he couldn't get into range just yet, he will soon with his Icicle. Glacier Shield staggers his enemies without needing Block and increases his defenses. And his Absolute Zero is his most powerful move at his disposal, stunning on strike. The immediate .02 movement debuffs lowers the chances of escape. However, he will only win if he could get close enough.

For Cryo, he is much more versatile compared to the two other classes with melee-range and also medium range capability. He is quite good at kiting, with his Ice Drakes, Cold Front (ooo em debuffs) and limitedly, Dry Ice. Hell, he doesn't even need to use precious mana to kite people because his Ice Drakes auto-shoot projectiles after the fourth standard attack. He is also quite agile, his fourth standard attack and Ice Monarch contributing to that. Frostfang is risky against Frigost unless his Block isn't ready.

Fighting against a Tundrus is going to be more or less a pain in the arse. Again, Tundra, Warmth and Snow Bomb and his passive. Oh lordy, the passive. But atleast it isn't a Frigost. Cryo can easily reach Tundrus in Icy Monarch and its all from there. Tundrus may be weak at close range, but his Snowball hits like a shotgun and once again, WARMTH.

On the other hand, 'Tundrus. 'Ranged and deceptively weak at close range (but quite lacking). His passive spells imminent doom for melee combatants and as I said earlier, his Snowball hits like a shotgun. Snow Bomb is a debuffing AoE, Warmth either heals him and buffs both his movement and defense or debuffs his enemies' defense. While Warmth is rarely used to debuff defense, it is still a tide turner. And oh, it boosts mana too. His Winter Shooter also can deal damage in short but fast bursts. Tundra is useful for running or dealing small damage (enemy defense buff'd).

However, as said before, he is very lacking in melee and uses up alot of mana rather quickly if he used his Winter Shooter.

Overall, I think Tundrus would be the possible winner, but then again, I stand that all three classes are capable of winning depending on the situation. Random Question: What if the "bird with fake wings and a jetpack" was a Proto?

It depends on how long the battle is, what map the Frigost, Cryo, and Tundrus are playing on.

But Cryo would win because, he can build up Frost quickly enough by slashing the Tundrus, and then get all three Ice Drakes. Once he has three Ice Drakes, he will be able to dodge the Tundrus's snowballs, and basically overwhelm the Frigost by leaping around him extremely fast.

But Frigost is possible to win because he could stop the Tundrus's snowballs getting to him, and maybe block the Cryo's slashes, so the Cryo can't build up frost.

Tundrus is possible, because he has Warmth, which gives him Mana, for those of you who don't know. And he can blast back the Cryo whilst the Cryo is distracted with the Frigost. Tundrus could also go to Winter Shooter and keep both the Cryo and Tundrus away, while they're slowly getting killed.

I support Cryo.
