Using Frostbite in Combat
Frostbite excels at control. Its slow effect turns aggressive rushers into easy targets and lets you dictate the pace of engagements. Use it to kite heavier gloves or to lock down escaping opponents near arena edges.
Because its raw power is moderate, it pairs best with patience and positioning rather than brute force. For more control-glove comparisons, browse our glove tier list and the best gloves ranking.
The slow effect also creates peel opportunities for teammates in group fights. A single well-placed Frostbite slap can stop a fleeing enemy long enough for allies to close the gap and finish the knockout.
Timing matters more than spamming. Landing a Frostbite slap right as an opponent commits to a jump or dash maximizes the value of the slow, often punting them straight into hazards or off the map entirely.
