Ice (element)
- "Cool! Ice spells are generally effective against rocky or wet foes, so that'll be handy."
- ―Natalie, Epic Battle Fantasy 4
Ice is one of the elements in the Epic Battle Fantasy series. It represents the power of extreme cold, and is associated with the Freeze and Chill status effects.
Characteristics
Ice is a very common element in the games; Natalie, Anna, and Matt naturally learn Ice skills, and every game since Epic Battle Fantasy 3 has at least one area where Ice-based foes are particularly prevalent. The element also has some association with Water, particularly in later games where they could benefit from each other's associated status effects.
Ice is usually effective against rock-based foes, aquatic enemies, and some nature and fire-based creatures. On the other hand, mechanical and ice-based enemies are usually resistant (or at least indifferent) to Ice.
Starting from Epic Battle Fantasy 4, Ice damage is amplified if the target is Wet. Epic Battle Fantasy 5 introduced another boosting status effect in Chill, but also introduced Dry, which weakens incoming Ice attacks.
