Re: The Book of Greater Ice Elemental
It seems to me that the 130 point zone has become a mark of death, with all rated units in the C+ or below range. (Grok Riders, DW8K, Tul-Bak-Ra)
I played a few Greater Ice Elementals on a snow and ice map, and it seems at the end of the day to still just be a melee hero with one attack a turn. The question is, will Greater Ice Elemental be able to fend off the C rating and settle into the B- range, or will he continue the Curse of 130? Handle origin: I used to film comedy skits with my friends. I didn't want any cursing in them, so I made up new insults, like "dendrik". Then Sir Denrick came out, and the rest is history. |

Re: The Book of Greater Ice Elemental
Has anyone had much luck with this guy in practice? I played one game with two of them where they did all right, but recently I've tried him in two or three armies and he's gotten killed by Aubriens in one turn every time. It's disgusting.
Part of the problem is that water is usually set lower than everything around it, so it's giving the enemy a height advantage. He has neither the lives nor the defense to be able to do that. Ice Bridge is immensely helpful, but don't think it's worth 130 points if the GIE is going to be gone the turn after you cross. Jugger It's like football with swords or LARPing without the geeky stuff. In other words, it's awesomely perfect! |

Re: The Book of Greater Ice Elemental
Can someone clarify -
In effect, does Cold Healing really work anytime the GIC is on a water or swamp spaces since, by virtue of Ice Cold, those spaces are treated as ice spaces? Or does Cold Healing only work when the GIC is on ACTUAL ice or snow spaces? |

Re: The Book of Greater Ice Elemental
Yes, he can heal on water or swamp water because those become normal ice spaces while he is standing on them.

Re: The Book of Greater Ice Elemental
Has anyone tried GIE armies and have any success?
I played: GIE x2 Nakitas Ralein Chain Fighters x2 My son: Ralein Hydras x2 KMA Kelda He slaughtered me. I got 2 KMA with Chain Grab and Engagement Strike, but he kept bouncing Kelda between Ralein and one Hydra. I couldn't get rid of Ralein(on a defense glyph) and was having a heck of a time with the rest in the aura. Guess I'm getting back into Scape |

Re: The Book of Greater Ice Elemental
I'm pretty sure this is a n00bish question that's been answered in another thread...
Since lava is treated as "water" for terrain purposes, does that mean that a GIE can still freeze over it, use Cold Healing, etc? And, if so, would he he still roll for Molten Lava damage because he moved onto it, or not, because he freezes it before? Funny, I haven't actually posted in the main forum for a while. Shame; I really need to get back into 'Scape. |

BTW, do Burneyflame's posts in this thread pose a hazard to the GIE? |

Re: The Book of Greater Ice Elemental
I assume that abilities that affect water affect any tile with water in its name.
Water Tile Swamp Water Tile other water tiles yet to be released |
