Frost Dragon Guide
Frozen Aerie · ATK 560
Frost Curse turns every other attack into a multiplier, Cold Front is the 30% payoff at the end of its spread, and the Ice Lizards are what litter the floor.
Before you pull
Frost Dragon is immune to every debuff and impairment except Taunt.

What you must not do
- Be outside Cold Front before it stops spreading. The 30% lands at the end, not during
- Kill Ice Lizards on sight. They are the source of every Frigid Field
- Never take an avoidable stack. They are a multiplier on Winter's Reckoning, not just a slow
- Clear the floor before Glacial Surge and Creeping Cold, which recycle what you left
- Leave early for Snow Day. You are slower than you think
- Absolute Zero and Draconic Wings come from the front; Leaping Strike hits everything close

The fight, phase by phase
7 phasesFrost Curse: the counter behind everything
Icy Prison applies 1 stack every time the dragon deals skill damage to you. Not on a timer, not on a special attack. Every hit.
- Each stack: March Speed -3%
- At 10 stacks you are Frozen for 2 seconds, then all stacks clear
The freeze is not the danger by itself. The danger is that you are slowed the whole way up to it, so you arrive at 10 stacks already unable to leave whatever you are standing in. Frozen next to a Frigid Field is how Legions die here.
Icy Prison
Frost Dragon inflicts 1 stack of Frost Curse whenever it deals Skill damage to a Legion. Frost Curse: March Speed -3% per stack Upon reaching 10 stacks, Legions are Frozen: Cannot move for 2s. All Frost Curse stacks are cleared when Frozen ends.
Cold Front: the biggest hit in the fight
The dragon flies up, charges, then breathes frost onto the ground.
- Continuous damage to everyone below: 5% of maximum Unit Count, plus 1 Frost Curse stack
- The frost spreads outward
When it stops spreading, every Legion still caught in it takes 30% of maximum Unit Count
That third step is the one people get caught by. The spread looks survivable while it is happening, and the real hit lands at the end. Do not ride it out. Be outside the edge before it stops growing.
Cold Front
Frost Dragon flies into the air. After a short charge-up, it breaths frost onto the ground below, dealing continuous damage to all surrounding Legions, and inflicting 1 stack of Frost Curse. Damage Type: Skill Damage (Magic) Damage Value: 5% of the Legion's maximum Unit Count The frost spreads outward. When it stops spreading, all Legions caught within it take damage. Damage Type: Skill Damage (Magic) Damage Value: 30% of the Legion's maximum Unit Count
Winter's Reckoning: where your stacks get spent
The dragon leaps and hits every Legion in the Lair for 2% of maximum Unit Count, and each stack of Frost Curse increases the damage that Legion takes. All stacks clear afterwards.
2% is nothing. 2% multiplied by nine stacks is not. This is the recurring payoff the rest of the fight feeds, and it comes around repeatedly, so treat your stack count as a number you manage all raid rather than something you fix once.
Winter's Reckoning
Frost Dragon leaps into the air, dealing damage to all Legions within its Lair. Each stack of Frost Curse increases the targets' damage taken. All Frost Curse stacks are cleared after damage is dealt. Damage Type: Skill Damage (Magic) Damage Value: 2% of the Legion's maximum Unit Count
Ice Lizards and the floor
Cold Call summons Ice Lizards. They mark Legions and cast Frostburn: when the countdown ends, a Frigid Field appears under the marked target, dealing 3% of maximum Unit Count on contact plus a stack.
Their own attacks are Ice Slice (forward arc) and Diamond Dust (single target).
Kill the Lizards on sight. Every one alive is another field on the floor, and the floor is what the next two skills weaponise.
Cold Call
Frost Dragon summons Ice Lizards to its Lair. Ice Lizards periodically mark targeted Legions, casting Frostburn.
Frostburn
Ice Lizard marks an enemy Legion. When the countdown ends, a Frigid Field appears underneath each marked target. All Legions that touch the Frigid Field take continuous damage. Damage Type: Skill Damage (Magic) Damage Value: 3% of the Legion's maximum Unit Count
Ice Slice
Ice Lizard swings its claws wildly, dealing damage to all enemy Legions in a forward arc. Damage Type: Skill Damage (Magic) Damage Factor: 800
Diamond Dust
Ice Lizard fires razor-sharp shards of ice, dealing damage to the target Legion. Damage Type: Skill Damage (Magic) Damage Factor: 800
The fields turn against you
Two skills reuse whatever Frigid Fields are already down:
- Glacial Surge: absorbs every field, spits them back out as Ice Spheres, and each sphere makes a new field where it lands
- Creeping Cold: drags every field in the Lair toward the dragon, damaging and stacking on contact
Both scale with how many fields exist. A clean floor makes them a nuisance. A cluttered one makes them a wipe, and Creeping Cold pulls them straight through where your melee is standing.
Glacial Surge
Frost Dragon absorbs all Frigid Fields, turning them into Ice Spheres and spitting them out again. Ice Spheres create new Frigid Fields wherever they land, dealing continuous damage to all Legions that come into contact with them and inflicting 1 stack of Frost Curse. Damage Type: Skill Damage (Magic) Damage Value: 3% of the Legion's maximum Unit Count
Creeping Cold
Frost Dragon draws all Frigid Fields within its Lair toward it, dealing continuous damage to all enemy Legions that touch them and inflicting 1 stack of Frost Curse. Damage Type: Skill Damage (Magic) Damage Value: 3% of the Legion's maximum Unit Count
Snow Day
Every 2 minutes a snowstorm forms and drifts toward a random Legion. Contact costs 3% of maximum Unit Count and a stack.
It moves slowly, but so do you once you are stacked. Walk away early, do not wait to see whether it turns.
Snow Day
Every 2m after entering battle, a snowstorm forms in Frost Dragon's Lair, and slowly moves towards a random Legion. The snowstorm deals damage to any Legion that touches it and inflicts 1 stack of Frost Curse. Damage Type: Skill Damage (Magic) Damage Value: 3% of the Legion's maximum Unit Count
Healing
Healing Manastone appears when the second stage ends. That is the only heal in the fight, so hold the raid together for it.
Healing Manastone
When the second stage ends, the Lair produces Healing Manastone. When gathered, it heals a Legion's lightly wounded units.
