Why is freeze so powerful?

[Drag0n]

Been playing the entire game on hard... it's been pretty balanced, but getting frozen is almost a death sentence. Game tip says you can mash buttons to escape but it doesn't seem to work.

I dunno, just had to deal with Freeze, and even on normal I'd spend over half a minute pounding the buttons and still be stuck frozen while the AI characters cleared the battle.

Cast ice shield when you are up against enemies that can freeze, and ALWAYS take them out first. Or just equip a ice defense or ice null seed if you have them.

Yeah, thanks. It's definitely not impossible to deal with, but my point was it's incredibly powerful compared to all other effects.

Yeah.... First time I got freeze from these enemy. It feel like it last for 15 second.

That's the beef about status effects. They barely inconvenience enemies, but are tailor-made to wreck you up.

I mean, why set up for poison or freezing that more often than not fails to affect bosses when it's infinitely more reliable and efficient to immediately start wailing on them with your sword?

And I hate the blue slimes at Rhime Falls. They CHAIN ice hits so it feels like it refreshes every time when it should stop when hit by another attack. That's such some cheap-ass ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Curious, does this go both ways? Like does it feel op to use against enemies?

No, because when you hit them it breaks them out, and does big damage. Same happens to you... but the problem is when you get frozen they tend to prioritize other party members and ignore the frozen person.

I hate freeze, these little blue slimes in Rhimes Fall literally freeze- locked me and my party several times to death, so I just avoided fighting them completely,

The ice shield saves you from that effect.

[Xabbu]

Not there yet but I hope I have plenty of freeze resist seeds by then to stack them up.

lol those Lv 10ish enemies on Hard melted me too, then I didn't have so much trouble after those sets of enemies. I think it's the fact that they can just do a ton of damage to you while frozen and you have no invincibility frames so your HP just gets DELETED
