Overview

Ice Control is one of the powersets. It is a Controller primary powerset in City of Heroes and a Dominator primary powerset in City of Villains.

Powers

The following are powers in the Ice Control powerset.

IceFormation ArticAir.png Arctic Air

While this power is active, you are surrounded in a fog of Arctic Air that dramatically slows the attack and movement speed of nearby foes. The chill of the Arctic Air is so bitter that many foes are forced to flee, albeit very slowly, from the immediate area. Others may attack their own allies, as the fog from the Arctic Air is thick and can cause much confusion. The cold air can also reduce the stealth capability of affected foes.

Jack is resistant to Cold damage, slightly immune to Fire damage, virtually immune to Disorient and Sleep effects, and immune to run speed and attack rate debuffs. He is also immune to flight speed debuffs, though he does not naturally fly.
