Predicting Blue Slime Frozen attack

[Marie Nobody]

Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble with the Blue Slime things, I've tried observing its movements without attacking it to see what was the windup animation but it seems that there's no prior animation, it just slouches to the ground and instant freeze to anything in melee range. Is there a way to predict when it'll do it? With Freezing lasting so long I'd rather not get hit by it but I have to get in melee range at some point

On the Moon Vesel Tree on Val there is the Ice Shield Ability wich protects you from water wich is freezing. At least i did that cause those slimes where evil xD

So like I have to use 10 MP when I only have 21 to face them or I just can't do it at all? And I assume it's just resistance, not immunity, which means it'll be down to random chance wether or not I get freezed?

You can launch them and they can't freeze you in the air. The wind vessel works great or Morley and Careena can use the delayed light attacks. I think the tornado magic also launches them.

I personally used the Flame sword buff on my team and myself as fire is the weakness of the slimes, so my team dealt tons of damage on them. They died before having the time to perma CC the party

Early game, Careena in Dancer loadout can just shrug off ailments of all kinds. This makes her a fantastic support character to throw medicinal/stardust herbs around to anyone else that happens to get caught in it, and even better if you throw a Cure Water or Healing Light seed on her.

Later game you get Ability seeds that let you resist or ignore individual status effects altogether. Not the best thing for general use, but having Null Freeze or Null Sleep on your melee dudes is very handy in some areas.

You can rush them if you freeze them in time with Moon vessel. I use Morley with that class so that's my usual go to strategy. They are also weak to fire so you can use the Fire element trap too if you leveled the lucre making class.

As long as not all 3 members get frozen you will be fine. There's also a Null Freeze seed in that dungeon.
