Frost Mage

Biodata

Power Progression

Cao Xing's documented progression through the Frost Mage path.

Background / History

When Frozen Era begins, Frost Mage is presented alongside Cold Iron Mechanic, Polar Warrior, Aurora Knight, and Snow Hunter as one of the game’s five profession systems. Its early combat option, Ice Ball Spell, is considered stronger than several other starting skills, though extraordinary power requires continued skill acquisition and development. 1

Cao Xing chooses the Frost Mage class because his two-person survival group cannot form the intended four-person profession-balanced team. His later growth establishes the class as a control-heavy ice-magic path with durable self-buffs, battlefield barriers, freezing effects, and large-scale area attacks. 1 96 224
