Skills and Abilities

Starting Phase

Ice Bolt

A basic attack that does high frost damage. This attack is untauntable and the boss will attack anyone at will.

Sapping Freeze

The boss channels a beam that stuns a random player doing high magic damage over time. This skill will also heal the boss for very large amounts over time. Players should break free as soon as possible to avoid damage, and to stop the boss from healing.

Impaling Shards

The boss teleports over to a random player and channels a large explosion around her as indicated by a red circle. This attack does very high frost damage and should be avoided at all costs. On Hard Mode this attack does significantly more damage.

Summon Ice Wraith

The boss summons two Ice Wraiths to attack the party. These should be tanked and killed quickly to simplify the fight.
