Glacier

DefectSkillUncommon
Gain 6 Block.
Channel 2 Frost.
  • Effect: gain 6 Block, then Channel 2 Frost orbs one after the other.
  • Passive: each Frost gives 2 Block at the end of every turn while it sits in a slot and 5 Block when Evoked, both raised by Focus.
  • Example: on the turn you play it you get 6 plus 4 from the two passives, and 4 more every later turn they stay.
  • Full slots: if your slots are full, each Channel Evokes your leftmost orb to make room.
  • Upgrade: the Block is 9.

When to take Glacier

Good in Act 1 for elites; 2 Energy for a big turn of Block plus lasting passives is the Defect's best early defense. It wants 3 or more slots so the Frost do not push each other out.
