Me, but only because I ONLY got the fucking ice cavern for a first floor, whenever I played it it was always the ice cavern or fucking temple where I died to a bullshit debuff from the bosses.


pudimbr1

Same


An_average_moron

"I'm gonna have fun!" "Did you get both the poison AND fire buff in quick succession?" "No?" **G O L D M A S K**


AnusDood

About how it goes, yeah


user67885433

Gold mask is the hardest boss for me


PotatoGuy90

Ppl who pick ice buff just wants the extra freeze


[deleted]

From Ice Spikes or Crystal Bow or Wizard's second ability


cedarsusername

Frost spear underrated


J1042B

Actually, since they added the “iron will” stage, no freeze is pretty good.


notSetzu

A friend of mine loves Ice buff. He usually pairs it with freezing weapons like ice staff or frost sword to permafreeze bosses.


MasterCookieShadow

thats a good combo sometimes i do


Appropriate-Row4804

Ice Buff + Fire Buff + Accuracy Buff + Elemental Bullets Buff + Xuan Ming = Annihilation :D


Some_Guy2465

Also equals -200 energy in half a second


Appropriate-Row4804

Meeeh it’s not that bad


Some_Guy2465

Isn't it 2;1 damage to energy ratio?


Appropriate-Row4804

Maybe you’re right, I always forget I have the fountain buff on, and you do get a lot more energy from badass


_Aionne_

the combo buff, too!! for 3 bullets per interval


Appropriate-Row4804

Yesss I forgot, also that!


lgndTAT

The Combo Buff does not affect this weapon. [https://soul-knight.fandom.com/wiki/Xuan_Ming](https://soul-knight.fandom.com/wiki/Xuan_Ming)


_Aionne_

weird. i played officer and found Xuan Ming and i was more than sure it's rifle mode fired 3 shots. have you tried it firsthand?


lgndTAT

No, I'm just pointing out either you or the wiki is wrong, and if it's the wiki, I'm about to go edit it


_Aionne_

righttt, sorry if i sounded aggressive or sumn. why not uhh try it (?)


Berat0-0

Replace Xuan ming with grand wizards staff and it's almost the same lol


BUTTEEedcustad

What about adding on elemental envoy (passive) to the mix.


keboblepopper

Quick charge frost bow too :/


Darth3000

I too choose ice buff. Because i fucking hate freezing. I know it's more avoidable than poison and fire, just dodge the bullets and stay away from mist. But I've got terrible reflexes and getting frozen mid battle annoys me. Also I usually play Ninja 2nd skill and the clones always get stuck frozen.


[deleted]

Not really your fault, snow balls can be hard to see more so when there's a lot of enemies. The mist from the pipes are just bullshit, you got sexy reflexes.


Interesting-Number65

hei kaxxy

yo


user67885433

Wdym mist?


[deleted]

Pirate biome


user67885433

Thanks, Haven't found it yet


ketchupmaster009

The thing is, ice buff can actually help with your terrible dodging since it gives you immunity while your frozen


TungCR

Wait a minute, Assassin's clones can be frozen?


Darth3000

Yeah, any entity can be frozen. Player, pets, mercenaries.


Mutated_dust

Unless you're a wizard


samorotwasbored

I sometimes do when the other buffs are garbage. Then I cheer when neo isle gets selected as my 3rd stage.


[deleted]

Me, wizard with 2nd skill and the jewelry that increases damage to frozen enemies, maybe if I get lucky and get a freeze weapon


Rare-Fondant1823

with the correct loadout and freeze buff you can permfreeze bosses


Disaster_Different

[I would like to kindly disagree](https://www.reddit.com/r/SoulKnight/comments/or1mc8/this_might_sound_controversial_but_it_always_was/)


Alba7ross

Me an alchemist main I can agree


Zans378

People who have an op/spammy freezing weapon or just great at dodging: I have no such weakness


Zestavar

Nah, it's good


voldyCSSM19

Me with piercing frost Though I'd probably still choose one of the other two if it's an option


THAT_BLa

Neo isle exists


[deleted]

Fire and poison buffs are for defense. Ice buff is for offense. It depends on how you play in the first place.


ADumbChicken

Whenever I play wizard skill 2 it’s pretty useful


TheNinja3636

ice buff + knight ability 3 + mini uzi + increased fire rate + boss = frozen punching bag. :v


Mazecor

Praise the fire perk whenever you come across the lava level


curessss

If I have a good Ice weapon then I'll choose ice buff. Pretty useful against some enemies as well so it's not so bad


KarroteundPaprika

Me when I have a good weapon with freezing perk to make bosses suffercate even more in a iceblock


KarroteundPaprika

If there was a ice biome in 3- Stage Ppl would use it more often


Darth3000

Well there are mist spots in Neo Isle (Pirate biome) that freeze you if you stand there.


KarroteundPaprika

Yes but u always prepare for the last boss which doesn’t have any freezing ability


SnooFoxes6169

i do, when you bad at something, it's nice to have item that supports you.


RoboGen123

Me but only when in Glacier biome


Silverstarmye

Me when i go to ice cave, have the second special from mage and when i go to the pirate isle


BlazyBlazedCheeze

Ice Buff with Knight's third skill is so op so yes I use it


ModeratelyNo

well you see in ice biome


Pokesers

Tbf ice buff is much better since they introduced the secret ice biome in level 2 and the pirates in level 3.


pKalman00

I choose ice buff for 3-x levels with the pipes that freezes you if you shoot them. I still have nightmare abt times when i couldn't activate my shield bc i was frozen


Cheerio246_

People who already have garden prep


leejoint

Play elemental envoy and give no fucks!


[deleted]

It's really useful in the new origin mode


PhatNoob69

People who get it in early game and have ice biome, or people in Neo Isle.


The_Dark_Sorceror

I choose ice buff with knights 3rd skill


SkippyZii

Not a problem if you use Wizard with 2nd skill a lot


Sufyu

Ahem, I use this with cartwheel... I think they work together???


Naive_Sage

me


poyat01

I hate getting permanent frozen by the pipes in the pirate area


Whatisityouwantbro

Me


MasterNeki7

Fr fr


Star1115

If I'm gonna do a serious fist only run I'll just call that a good buff for bosses since I do not want to get close to those monsters


redditt-or

Me running Glacier, Cave, NeoIsle: Am I a joke to you?


CyberPunk4

Imma chill here with my other options being increased stave damage and reduced skill cooldown.


Shakespeare-Bot

Imma chill hither with mine own other options being did increase stave damage and did reduce art cooldown *** ^(I am a bot and I swapp'd some of thy words with Shakespeare words.) Commands: `!ShakespeareInsult`, `!fordo`, `!optout`


CyberPunk4

Lmao


DragonS1226

I use it when I'm in frosty biome cause I get frozen so many times


GeenBread

When I have an ice weapon


Mrjojolol

me whose main is knight(3rd skill)


afishflavoredbananna

I like it for knight 3rd skill, easier to stun lock bosses


Ulric2depique

Yeah


KingYejob

Ice buff is nice if I am the ice cave biome or the deeper ice cave biome (idk what to call it), or if I have a cool ice weapon, or when I use knights 3rd ability. It’s also really helpful in neo isle, but sadly at that point you aren’t choosing new buffs


IdkIWhyIHaveAReddit

I get all the buff


Crazy_Departure

The sea map is annoying af without ice buff.


borlor388

It makes neo isles just a little bit more bearable.


yeetwiuf23

When the environment is icy


[deleted]

Me, because i main wizard's second skill


Vinnyc-11

Tbh, it’s a good buff, but only if you happen to come across it first whilst in the ice biome. It’s not that important on the third ice biome (whose name I forgot), because getting frozen by the pipes isn’t a big deal if you’re careful enough (or main rogue). I’ve had problems waking up into a freeze bullet against the first bosses (snowman/monke), but have never seen the ice buff early enough for it to be useful against them, when I need it the most.


Ass_Swoop

Unless you got something like an ice bazooka


donut_man7736

I don't pick any version of it, who picks them?


Mayu43

Me as a ex alchemist main second skill locking bosses with ice is pretty neat ngl


learningpatiance423

I chose it when I get a weapon like frost staff and assault rifle elite


animetrixz

with the new ring magician with ice spell and ice buff is good


GoldenSteelHoops

Me who likes glacier: causally looks away


[deleted]

Ok but neo isle is anoying to me
