The ICEY mind training feels poorly designed.

[Vronsky]

I don't know if it's her kit or just the mind training design, but it feels awful to play. Enemies don't get recoil when you hit them, the floor in the laser room is so small that once you get hit once, you're stuck in the laser and instantly lose so much HP from this stunlock you're in. The moveset they're trying to teach you (Down + O) doesn't even work properly every time and, again, the enemies don't take any recoil damage properly so you just get smacked down by the enemies.

I actually just quit the mind training for ICEY because she/it feels terrible to play. Which is weird since the rest of the game feels so good.

Are you playing mouse and key or controller?

It feels really good for me on mouse and key. I will try it with my controller and see. Once she is unlocked she does stagger in the normal mode I found.

I'll give it another try. I think it might just be the mind training tutorial design. The enemies they designed for ICEY's tutorial and the stage design just make it unfun to play.

I totally agree. I own the original game and they clearly tried to emulate the mechanics of the original but the physics and controls of each game are very different. I'm glad she's free because I'd be pretty disappointed if I paid for her

I actually agree with the special mind training. It wasn't very fun for me. She is cracked though outside of it.

I've been wondering about if ICEY's potentials are bugged. Last night, during a mind training with her, I took up the potential that says to press 'rb' when enemies are in the defense broken state, but it seemed to not do anything. not sure if i was doing something wrong or if it was bugged..really unsure of how to use it if it isnt broken.

Enemies need to have a symbol on them. They usually get it after ~4 hit combo

It works, but it's a bit inconsistent to trigger. Maybe I'm not getting it either?

I think you press RB/R1 once the armor breaks(?) to teleport behind an enemy, but it's a bit hard to pay attention to when it happens when you're fighting 10 other enemies. Haven't tested it enough to figure out if it's for armor break or stagger.

Probably great for evasion, but dash is superior

Ya I'm also confused about the armor break potential. It works in the sense that it does damage like it's supposed to, but I have to mash the button to get the teleport to come out. The damage is also very low

When you beat the enemy several times a blue triangle will appear on him. Press RB to teleport behind him and deal damage. Pressing RB must be clean, i.e. without any combinations.
CLEAN press

That's weird, maybe you need to progress further in game?
For reference, I was unlocking her around ending of the story.
