Wolfgang got and exclusive the best frozen weapon in the game


Recommended Posts

Is he actually a frozen wizard or something? :)

Sigh. power creep...

Icebell

  • 33 use
  • 2 frozen each hit
  • AOE
  • no prototyper required.

Ice staff

  • 20 use
  • 1 frozen each hit
  • single target
  • need prestihatitator.

Chilled Amulet

  • 33 use
  • 1 frozen each hit
  • single target
  • need prestihatitator.

Ice rounds were so bad they didn't even get included the disrespect...

No I'm just kidding I do need to get around to testing Wolfgang I've really only been testing Wormwood and Woodie.

By the way I can't check right now what's the recipe for the ice dumbbell

But you have to retrieve the whole thing after each use, besides the delayed aim, and slow usage.
I’d say it’s different and situational, def not a plain upgrade of the ice staff and up to debate if it’s better.

It's more expensive, and that make it's acceptable... if it's not exclusive to the game's most powerful combat theme character.

I'd argue they both have different use cases but they're both very useful in their own right from what I've seen but I really hope that they try to do something similar for the freeze rounds cuz those are terrible

And that's fine character exclusive things like that should be more powerful than the default or at least fill a different niche

I don't see the point here, how is it power creep? You are looking at stats, and ignoring the cost of the gem bell, and the fact you need to pick it up again, aswell as it's wonky and slow throwing speed you need to learn. The ice staff and pellets still freeze things much faster and the gem bell still has the niche of aoe.

2 thulicite, 1 twig, 2 blue gems.

So why does poor Walter only have useless Freeze Rounds?

Wolfgang is already one of the most powerful character in the game. Give Wolfgang a small boost, and there are 17 characters that need a big boost to maintain balance. And now Wolfgang is getting a huge boost.

You only think about icebell's niche, its nice. But it's a character exclusive item, the problem is Wolfgang's niche.

I'm under the assumption that his skill tree will fix this but I will put up my pitchfork if somehow Kiel overlooks how bad his slingshot is.

I do agree that the damage output of his ice dumbells is a bit too high though.

I doubt it would be possible with a controller with how bad targeting is.

Typical.. sigh 

Maybe with the lock on targeting it could be doable?

To throw the dumbbell you have to undo the target locking so no. Which is part of why I've been pushing for a controller rework since it's just not really good right now.
