Blizzard

Blizzard is a hero skill introduced in No Heroes Allowed!. It is commonly used by Priests, Alchemists, and Swordsmen.

Overview

Blizzard is similar to Volcano and Tornado in usage: once used, the attack will travel in a fan shape until it hits a wall. If it touches a monster, with the exception of a Long Dragon, Hell Dragon, or Hydra, it will get frozen for a period of time. Frozen monsters can be passed through by heroes; they will be ignored and not take any damage. The frozen status can be reversed by poking the monster with the God of Destruction's pickaxe.

If Blizzard hits water, it will stop and freeze the entire body until the hero using the skill perishes. All monsters that touch the frozen water will be frozen themselves, and poking them will just result in them being frozen again. This makes Blizzard extremely punishing against water-based dungeons and heavily discourages maintaining large bodies.

Blizzard's damage and travel distance is determined by the MP spent, which goes as follows;

MP cost	Attack power	Distance travelled
15 MP	60×2	7 defeet
25 MP	80×2	9 defeet
35 MP	120×2	9 defeet

Unlike Volcano and Tornado, there is no visible difference in the attack when used. Damage is dealt twice, and it bypasses the Magic Defence-boosting effects of Diabro and Brahzuzu.

Counterplay to Blizzard revolves around not letting it happen in the first place. Blizzard will not be used if there are few to no monsters actually in the water, and Lady monsters can reduce motivation to make usage less likely. Additionally, because skills can't be used if a hero is in water, digging to place water over the hero is also valid counterplay. However, defeating the hero as soon as possible once the damage is done is all that can be done after Blizzard has been used.
