Frostbrand
Tactics
A Frostbrand cryture can shape ice to create weapons and armor that it uses to lock down and eliminate foes in melee. Their main means of attack is Icy Blade, which can seriously cripple the target's movement on a lucky crit. Slicing Shards can launch a flurry of ice blades, both to Distract enemies and potentially bleed them out with the Wounded status. For a more reliable way to inflict ongoing damage, Puncturing Ice can deliver it on a single hit, and deal bonus damage along with it. Freezing Shell rounds out the class's defense, buffing the cryture while disabling nearby enemies.
