Use[]
Ice Blitz is useful against enemies weak to both ice and physical oriented attacks. When used in conjunction with Magnet, the player can gather multiple enemies together to easily to have Ice Blitz attack all targets at once. If an Enfrost enhanced Ice Blitz is used with Magnet and Blizzara, the player can easily inflict stagger on multiple enemies weak to ice-elemental attacks. Due to its late game availability and only Neela enemies being weak to fire damage in the game's final dungeon, the ability cannot be as taken advantage of until later playthroughs.
