Hero Skills Breakdown
1. Arctic Burn
The caster takes flight, gaining the ability to traverse terrain and attack enemies from a significantly increased range. Attacks applied while in this form slow the enemy and burn a portion of their health over time.
- Damage Type: Magical
- Behavior: Health burn does not trigger on-damage events.
- Scepter Upgrade: Allows toggling between flying and ground forms; flying provides a movement speed bonus but drains mana over time.

Quick Gameplay Tips
- Strategic Embrace: Use Cold Embrace to counter physical damage dealers who focus your allies. Since it blocks all physical damage, it is a perfect counter to heroes like Phantom Assassin or Juggernaut; however, be mindful that your ally cannot act while frozen.
- Curse Positioning: Winter's Curse is best used on a support hero when they are standing near their high-damage core teammates. The core will be forced to attack their own support, potentially killing them or dealing significant damage before they realize what has happened.
- Harassment Efficiency: Use Arctic Burn to harass from extreme range during the laning phase. Because it grants flying vision and movement, use the height advantage to scout for enemy rotations or to chase fleeing targets safely over cliffs.
