An overview of Split Ice in Heroes Battlegrounds

Split Ice is obtainable for free in Heroes Battlegrounds and can be switched to and from at any time. This character excels at chaining powerful strikes together and finishing enemies off with his various skills. His normal attacks, also known as M1s, can be chained together up to four times for a basic combo. It can then be extended using various skills in his arsenal.

This character has access to four ice-themed skills: Freezing Variants, Ice Javelin, Frost Counter, and Frost Burst. Each of these skills changes when used as finishers, triggering special cutscenes as the character finishes the enemy off.

Here’s a summary of what these skills offer:

• Freezing Variants: This skill offers four distinct options for you to use at any moment, depending on the situation. You can use the Melee, Downslam, Uppercut, and Ranged variations of the skill.
• Ice Javelin: A ranged attack that can be used to catch a moving opponent. It can be altered to hit the other player with a close-range swipe.
• Frost Counter: A counter move that activates briefly to nullify enemy attacks and freeze them.
• Frost Burst: A medium-range attack that throws a wall of ice in front of you.

Split Ice’s Ultimate Mode is called Burning Flames, which launches a fiery area of effect attack, heavily damaging anyone caught in the blast. The move alters the character’s M1s and skills, transforming them into fire-themed attacks.

Here’s what the transformed skills bring to the table:

• Freezeburn Wave: Creates a beam of fire that engulfs the enemy, dealing hefty fire damage.
• Jet Kindling: A short-range fireball that explodes when launched.
• Frostflame Burst: Creates a wall of ice that encases a nearby opponent, which explodes into a fiery tornado.
• Blazing Soul: A highly damaging combination attack that triggers a cutscene when hit.

Split Ice also has three Passive abilities in his arsenal that offer unique boosts when certain conditions are met.

These include the following:

• Spear of Ice: Receive an ice spear upon finishing an enemy off. Deals bonus M1 damage.
• Extra Frost Burst Finisher: Using Frost Burst to finish an enemy off increases its size and potency.
• Cooldown Reset: Finishing an enemy off resets your skill cooldown.

How to use Split Ice effectively in combat

Split Ice offers great tools that allow him to compete among the best characters in Heroes Battlegrounds. His strengths lie in his above-average normal attack speed and a well-rounded skill set. In Ultimate Mode, he becomes nearly impossible to stop as his Ultimate activation and certain skills trigger a cutscene when hit.

His fast-paced normals can keep the opponent stunlocked. With a little combo extension, you will be able to deal over 30% damage with just M1s and one skill. You can also use Ice Javelin to catch opponents off-guard, as its variations can be a little difficult to predict.

Moreover, if you can time it right, his Frost Counter can be an invaluable combo starter because of its freezing effect. While it is difficult to execute, the payoff is immense.

A good strategy with this character is to try to fill up his Burning Flames Ultimate Mode gauge as quickly as possible. In a normal combat setting, you will likely defeat one or more opponents before the gauge fills up. But the moment it does, activate his moves and secure an almost-assured victory over an opponent.
