I mean Maygi also said A1 icarus = A6 Frigg if ur running triple frost, and A1 icarus > A6 frigg if ur using A6 Lin and the lin icarus comp. So since I use 3pl frost anyway, my plan is to just wait for 2.5 and get free Frigg A6 from store and just roll with that and save till Yulan, if yulan proves to need icarus for her rotation, then thats when I'll pull for icarus.
very accurate explanation , all u need info for frost main out their...icarus was the last piece now for frost as core dps before 3.0 release ..Again thankyou gateo for ur insights and giving time for this very helpful for frost main lost their apetite due to fenrir damage especially on us in global hehe
16:55 Yeah I'm not hitting max investment on any character I've played so far, so I'll pass, I just want to play characters with cool animations n also just _Feel_ I see 3.0 has lots of Fun looking Characters, so I'm probably gonna save for them. I've already sat out from caring for "maxed-out" meta for 6 months, I can do it for 6 more.
I went from Bygone 430 to BR 5 with Icarus, Saki, Alyss, will push again tonight if i have the time. He's definitely worth the pull. My next pull will be Yulan, since I only pull for frost char which gives me plenty of time to save the resources.
You did the right move, I have friends who skipped Tian and play some cope Nemesis, Fenrir and Lin team, and are stuck at 460 with amazing stats and limited matrices, while people with Tian, Fenrir and Lin are BR or 490 with way worse stats than them, people don't get this game is about teams not individual units, you won't get the full power of your frost team if you miss Icarus, even if you trade him for Fiona.
@@quiteamazing3228 Gateoo already warned. All next frost comps work with Icarus. Fiona frost comp needs Icarus, and the next Frost char will highly likely needs Icarus. But you can always skip Icarus ofc if Waifu > Meta lol
Why skip when you can pull for both? Unless you really want to use balance reso (saki,alyss,fiona), icarus is worth it for ice comp because he ady good at A0
As mentioned in Maygi's video: A0 Icarus beats A6 Frigg if using A6 Lin, if not, you need A1 Icarus to match and A3 to beat A6 Frigg. For me, as a dolphin player, I don't see why I should pull for him instead of maxing Frigg from standard banner, unless I wanted a more enjoyable and spammy rotation. So I'm thinking in skipping him now, and if Yulan requires him to work, then I pull for him.🤔
That's where I'm at too. I have Frigg at A3, and have enough token to get her A6 as soon as she touch standard. I really don't feel like pulling for Icarus, but then we get video like this from Gateoo and now I feel bad for skipping him. In the end, I want Fiona and Yulan as next banners. I just hope Icarus doesn't become a "staple" for future frost comp. I would prefer Alyss by far.
Those of us with A6 Lin are getting screwed badly. We can't remove Lin without spending more resources (for a character/playstyle I don't even like). We might get screwed in the future for not having him.
Thanks for the video, especially that part at the end. Was funny but true. Was part of the 3 main teams crowd so I can swap to another team if need be. Thanks for the tldr explanation of what stars to go for and the matrices I needed to know what to budget for the next time I attempt to go for Icarus later this month
I was planning to skip in favour of Fiona 4p matrices, but now I think I will go for A0 of both Icarus and Fiona. Looks like that may also be a strong comp (Alyss + Icarus + Fiona)
I rather have an a1 fenrir and use her skill and 2 claws for 3 skill uses than the 2 frost skill. It's a perfect rotation every time plus fenrir healing has a lot of survivability and slows all enemy and bosses down
I think he clearly says that icarus is not skippable for frost main, u know the comp consist saki, frigg, alyss, etc with no lin. In your case is rainbow main, then u can skip icarus if you think he's not worth to replace fenrir 😊
It is really sad that the old characters were powercrept so early. People spent money on Frigg only a few months ago and now she's not even worth spending the free black gold on - that is when the devs finally deem to put her on standard.... What is the purpose of gold nucleus at this point? Saving for Saki / Alyss copies in 1 year? Way to shoot yourself in the foot when the best strategy seesm to be to abstain from pulling and come back in a few months.
Yeah i agree with you. I used to be really keen on spending all my black gold on nemesis. But now that i have fenrir + tian, i don't even want to buy her anymore.
Game was trying to catch up to CN, and people already knew since the beginning Frigg, Nemesis, Cobalt and Claudia were going to hit standard sooner rather than later, going into splurge while the game was running a marathon is such a huge mistake, even if global tried to balance stuff they never touched the mechanics which will make newer units better, also gold nucleus are insanely valuable. I doubt you have all standard at A6? or do you? do you know if you pull on limited characters if you fail the 50/50 you will get 10 flame gold? Until you don't have all standards SSR's on A6 gold nucleus and black ones are insanely valuable, they literally save you 10 pulls if you fail a 50/50, that's one of the reasons gateoo tends to A6 limited units in like 330 pulls, instead of people going to 400+ because no A6 all SSR standards, people just don't understand the basic concepts of the game but are ready to shoot with non-sense.
You're 100% right. These content creators are shills for these shitty devs. ToF has tons of issues compared to other games, but they never want to admit all of the negative things about it.
Would Claudia 4-piece be better on Icarus? jump canceling after discharge and pressing the icarus charge skill x2? or would that not be considered "discharge skill dmg."
Geteo hiciste tirar por icarus por ser main hielo , tenia todo dispuesto a tirar solo por fiona pero lo intente y me salio icarus en 20 tiros 😢 me quedo para mi fiona
Phew, luckily i didn't skip him. I'm planning on skipping him because i don't have enough saving for both fiona and icarus, but fate spoke otherwise. I missclicked 1x 10 pulls cuz i thought i only have dark crystals and pulled him lol. And yeah like gateoo said his advancement don't really matter so i got what i need basically 😅
why would you want to swap saki instead of lin in a frost comp, just like what gateoo said if you're a frost main get icarus if not then easy skip and since u have a6 lin get fiona go alter comp.
Meh, will just A6 Fiona until 3.0, when we get characters that will last longer and not be a speed up character that lasts for another month and a bit.
Hi there tx for that. Better thank other 😘. But I still dont ubderstand why jump canceling ? Ive been doing the rotation without canceling at all and it works perfectly. If jumping cancel icarus burst I loose dmg right ?
Its more for time limited events like bygone to pump damage faster. lets say his discharge animation lasts for around 2-3 seconds. by that time that's already 2 casts of his skill and would move on to your rotation. those two alyss pumps do more damage than his discharge. for lin users its so thst you dont mess up your rotation by getting a full discharge bar when icarus is your active weapon. having a wasted discharge adds more time to build it up again since all discharges should be done with Icarus TL;DR dps loss for timed battles
pues no se pero para mi fue bien worth, del piso 440 que andaba estancado con lin c6,saki c6 y alyss c6 y actualmente con icaru c6 ,alys c6 y saki c6 ando en el reino ilimitado piso 7 ,asi q gg
i use alyss, icarus, and lin. what standard matrix best for them? for now i use: 1. alyss = 2 samir, 2 crow 2. icarus = 2 icarus, 2 shiro 3. lin = 2 samir, 2 huma
Should be and Fiona's banner comes (27th) before his leaves. Fiona's banner does have summoning gifts though, so if you're going for those, it won't matter how lucky you are. If you're pulling for Fiona and don't care about the gifts, hopefully you get lucky and still have 110 red nuclei, after you pull her, then can still get Icarus. I'm probably going for Fiona's summon gifts, so I'll end up waiting for the new Frost weapon to decide if I'm going for extra stars on it, Saki or pulling for Icarus. I'm going to be extra sucky, for awhile more, but hopefully I can make a useful enough benediction team. I'm also hoping for an Altered Fortitude weapon, in the future, so Saki might end up being the best Frost weapon to invest in. I think after Fiona releases, Altered resonance will fit between mono-element and rainbow comps. Unfortunately for Frost, Icarus is probably the best weapon for Altered resonance, since Alyss's skill doesn't work with them and Saki triggers Balanced resonance. I'm not even sure if Saki's skill reset works in the upcoming Altered team, come to think of it.
My lineup right now is Lin Saki Alyss. So if I pull for Icarus and Fiona then Lin will be replaced by Fiona? And if I pull for Yulan then Yulan will replace Alyss?
@@matheuscfs97 Lin, Alyss, Icarus has the highest dmg according to gateoo's test. So I'm going to bench Saki to use Icarus then replace Lin when Fiona comes out
Maybe I could do frigg alyss and icarus can replace saki so I have enough hyperbody protection. I guess icarus is about as good as saki for shatter with his trait.
I have one question for the og on cn, does fiona heal on her own? I dont see it in her kit nor skills doee fiona has a heal? Because its pretty weird being benediction without a heal or shield
my comp is saki a1, alyss a3, frigg a3 . Previously i used tsubasa a6 instead frigg a3. So do i need pull icarus or fiona? i have around 240 pull when fiona released
based on experience id say Lan + Saki + Frost resonance activator; Either Lin (best for VA to activate the rainbow tank buffs) or Coco if you need to heal
I think pulling on Icarus is work for me as f2p have a1 ally's a1 saki when I got Icarus my damage up 😂 35m / 1,50sec normalizes my damage only 15min in 2m 😂
since i got Fenrir to A1..... and WAS frost f2p main (SAki A1, Lin A3, Alyss A2), welp...... yeah, badly gonna wait for fiona for that double alteration (i think?) then 1 element lel .... 67 red nucleus and 7.5k DC, yeah..... sadge but its okay somehow.... Fenrir carries me so far.... still sucks at Bygone, still at Floor 390 lel, it doesnt bother me somehow since how many months already stuck there.
if u lowspender just a3 both or just a0 icarus since its good enough and a3 fiona. if u f2p, never 6s char unless u waifu>meta and u liked that char for u to 6s that.
I have one interesting question: Why nobody freaking care about that 4p Alyss is not working in the 3ple frost comp cuz of rotation? Still wonder why no one of the utubers think about this.
@@allenchiu7523 its not a bug, just read how Alyss matrix is working, and check how rotation of skills is going on this comp, everybody use Alyss 4p on Alyss, but its useless
frost main but I ran tank so gonna skip him for the next frost...and im comfortable either way with my current team C2 saki, c1 alyss, c1 lan...but let see how good is that new punch guy and I might switch to fire...playing duo btw so I dont pull for altered cuz my duo runs that even though they are tempting to pull for solo
this is why I feel like every element is trash in this game the balance is not f2p friendly and always force u to stick to one element ,,, as he said either do whatever you want or Target only Alter element and max them ,,, also this is total f2p perspective the only way to enjoy the combat is high spending / whaling ,,,
How is it not f2p friendly? you literally have units like Fenrir that on A1 can best older units at A5-A6, there's also new scylla and haboela matrices that are 75% the power of limited matrices so if you really wanted to you could just use those and don't pull on limited matrices, next patches we will have more ways to get copies and increase the stars on Scylla and Haboela too. There's rainbow teams and soon altered teams so you don't need to stick to one element, Fenrir opened rainbow teams and Gunonno will open more teams although not exactly rainbow, while Fiona opens altered and on 3.0 there's a very high chance of more multi-element teams. Saying the only way to enjoy combat is whaling or high spending is ridiculous, I have f2p friends that are slapping bygone with low investment teams like Fenrir rainbow and there's also people that have spent a lot of money but do peanut damage, just as f2p even if you spend if you're not very smart or know how to do it you will be useless, like whales could literally max 2 limited matrices and use them forever.
@@siphi7583 calm down bro watch gates video you need to constantly pull for current gen weapons ,,, f2ps get around 150-200 pulls for every gen ,,, so with that you get only one char out of 4 elements ,,, if you miss one you are ditching the meta ,,, fenrir will be replaced in 3.0 anyway so that rainbow team you are dreaming is will be gutted soon ,,, this is why the safe bait is Alter only they dont replaced soon enough
@@potatopcgamer739 Constantly? you only need 1 of your element per gen and you don't get 150 pulls every gen that's ridiculous, if you miss one you're not ditching anything, you can get it on the rerun of the new element unit. Rainbow team gutted soon, what are you talking about? are you one of those people that think that because there's something better your current team is useless? That team is literally massive value to low spenders and f2p, man people in this game are so misinformed it's crazy, no wonder ToF has such a bad reputation when the game is not even bad.
@@siphi7583 calm down bro I mean hey are going to make mistake in 3.0 and do the 2nd round of power creep which will be 2x stronger than fenrir rainbow
I think Imma skip him for Gunono. Circumstances are (read: Gear RNG is) forcing me to run a Flame team with Lan instead so getting Gunono for rainbow comp should be a better option
Icarus is not a must have for frost mains so just pull for him if you like him or not. I pulled him last night coz he’s fun to play and managed to get him to 3 stars. He’s decent but CANNOT be compared with rainbow team dmg wise. So if you dont follow meta, you can skip him Edited coz i forgot the word dont lol
of course no one beat rainbow meta lol even with the latest volt and flame they are still below the full potential of rainbow shred res damage but fyi icarus actually complete frost mono comp(of course alter frost could still be better when fiona release) tbh icarus is not bad they are just skipping him because next banner is Fiona which is better and can be used in many comp
@@alexxandrite7831 well if you are following that logic, then no character is a must pull and you can just pull for waifu. The reason why people come to this video is to see his number and where icarus stand on current frost team meta( which he is a must have if you want to complete mono frost team)
@@bytes021 i feel like the reason most people skip him because many people doesnt like his design instead of meta pull. In my crew discord people keep saying "imagine pulling for femboy" and something similar like that lmao
Well, if i’m gonna get shafted for skipping him…..I’ll get shafted, and gladly 🤷🏻♀️ Personally, I think he’s designed for Rainbow teams with his matrix effects, and also his skill of increasing final dmg for different elemental type weapons equipped.
icarus's Matrixes are additive not multiplicative so it's going to get power crept pretty quick, you can get away with claudia matrices and it's about the same.
fun Fact I bet the Devs Didn't know that Icarus can be played like this. those Devs are brain Dead bet they made Icarus to spam left click until CN veteran invented this shit
I just don't want to give up hyperbody for my team. Frigg Saki and Alyss so comfortable with hyperbody, maybe I will just got for physical since Gunonno has hyperbody.
I mean, I'm frost main. But I rather not get carpal tunnel. Lmao. If I cared for meta then fuck yes ill pull for yo-yo Boi. But water dragon mommy Fiona is worth it. Frigg Saki and alyss . Thing is who Fiona will replace on the team. Waifu collection sim over meta every time.
Anti Lin propaganda. The comp works perfectly fine with Lin, and yes, it does edge out triple frost. This fantasy of mobs always running out of fields and you always teleporting away is just that, a fantasy. Yes, it's something you need to sometimes be aware of and play around, but that's actually, no joke, a skill issue. Same for Meryl back in the day. These minor inconveniences always get blown out of proportion by whiners. All such things can easily be managed with just a bit of effort and foresight.
i hate femboy so i'll give up meta and proceed waifu route ... they purposefully sh1t on frost since they know most frost users have always been waifus enjoyer while staying relevant in meta and they put Fiona after him knowing we'll surely pull for her but at the same time making icarus essential in frost meta so forcing some of us to pull him to be still relevant. If Icarus is cool dude like Tian or Zeke i wouldn't mind but this ... ewww
same bro, they should've just made him into a cool guy, what a waste of good voice actor too with those frilly design. A3 design is still manageable, but the default one is I dunno xD
It may sound petty but that is the big reason why I skip icarus because he's literally a femboy. I ain't selling my meta pride for femboy. I'm willing to be shafted. I dont care. Rather, gateoo sounds like a salesman. I guess 10cent/Level Infinity knew that icarus banner won't sell well as fenrir.
Kinda cringe that we are forced into pulling for an unappealing femboy character just to keep up with the meta, because the devs are so bad at balancing their game/care so little about their player base. His playstyle isn't even fun compared to the Alyss/Lin/Saki comp. It's literally a downgrade in terms of fun/enjoyment, but we basically have to pull him to not be completely irrelevant in terms of damage because of how scuffed this game is.
Hate being forced into pulling for an unimpressive character to stay vaguely relevant in the short-term and not get screwed in the long-term. Don't like the design, but would overlook it if the playstyle was more fun. All the jump canceling and spam is a symptom of poor design. Of course, Fiona is designed to work with Icarus, and everything in 3.0 probably will be too, so you can't skip! Better pony up if you don't have the resources, fun be damned. And you know he's about to get badly powercrept, since he exists to make Frost vaguely level with the last round of powercreep. Except in the most unsatisfying way possible. Game is bad.
If I just got fenrir and am running a1 fenrir, a1 saki and a1 lin but also have Alyss a1 and frigg should i pull if I don’t have enough to guarantee him or wait for Fiona and a rerun and save so I don’t waste pulls?
Wait for Fiona, Fiona buff the raimbows comps and the other comps, and the raimbows comps f2p (Fenrir a1, lin, saki a1) do more damage than a frost comp f2p (alyss a1, saki a1, icarus )
Pull for A0 and save it is. Thanks for the vid, very easy to understand.
I mean Maygi also said A1 icarus = A6 Frigg if ur running triple frost, and A1 icarus > A6 frigg if ur using A6 Lin and the lin icarus comp.

I'm not even sure if Saki's skill reset works in the upcoming Altered team, come to think of it.
My two teams are frost and volt and the only thing frost is better in is cactus parse. I'm doing 10x better with rainbow in oow, bygone, raids etc...
As a F2Pain player, i have alyss a1 and icarus a1, but i only have saki a0. would it be better to replace her with my a1 lyn?
Saki is useless without her A1 since that is gives her skill reset so yea definitely use Lin
My lineup right now is Lin Saki Alyss. So if I pull for Icarus and Fiona then Lin will be replaced by Fiona? And if I pull for Yulan then Yulan will replace Alyss?
Lin was replaced by Icarus, and then Saki will be replaced by Fiona
@@matheuscfs97 Lin, Alyss, Icarus has the highest dmg according to gateoo's test. So I'm going to bench Saki to use Icarus then replace Lin when Fiona comes out
Maybe I could do frigg alyss and icarus can replace saki so I have enough hyperbody protection. I guess icarus is about as good as saki for shatter with his trait.
I have one question for the og on cn, does fiona heal on her own? I dont see it in her kit nor skills doee fiona has a heal? Because its pretty weird being benediction without a heal or shield
from dodge and discharge
@@fernandoooedo Can you explain futher bro??
@@dranellecraige-uy9kx it's exactly what it says, you heal everytime you dash and discharge
my comp is saki a1, alyss a3, frigg a3 . Previously i used tsubasa a6 instead frigg a3. So do i need pull icarus or fiona? i have around 240 pull when fiona released
i wanted to take 3.0 frost actually for better future proof comp
You should pull for Icarus and bench your A3 Frigg. No doubt. It's worth
a0 icarus is already good over those a6 tsu and a3 frigg
as F2P got him in 12th pull as I wasn't feeling frigg anymore & saving for futu char - fiona...
What is the actual best Tank Team?
based on experience id say Lan + Saki + Frost resonance activator; Either Lin (best for VA to activate the rainbow tank buffs) or Coco if you need to heal
I think pulling on Icarus is work for me as f2p have a1 ally's a1 saki when I got Icarus my damage up 😂 35m / 1,50sec normalizes my damage only 15min in 2m 😂
What about 2 matrices icarus ??
I got him a3 and got 2 of his matrices with only 100$ and 70 pity
since i got Fenrir to A1..... and WAS frost f2p main (SAki A1, Lin A3, Alyss A2), welp...... yeah, badly gonna wait for fiona for that double alteration (i think?) then 1 element lel ....
67 red nucleus and 7.5k DC, yeah..... sadge but its okay somehow.... Fenrir carries me so far.... still sucks at Bygone, still at Floor 390 lel, it doesnt bother me somehow since how many months already stuck there.
I just run fenrir in my ice comp instead of icurus and still end up top dps 99% of the time
so Mr gateoo you saying i can get icarus a6 amd skip a6 fiona if im frost main ? please anyone respond 🙏
if u lowspender just a3 both or just a0 icarus since its good enough and a3 fiona. if u f2p, never 6s char unless u waifu>meta and u liked that char for u to 6s that.
Im a newbie and just pulled icarus at 40 but i didnt get saki at pity. Am i fucked? I have coco tho but thats it lol
good showcase ❤
Susge but nc kok
Suskayge
what about icarus, fiona and alyss? its better than saki?
If you put saki with fiona it will be balance resonance which is not good. Thats why saki is out
@@marindevimon i mean between saki, alyss and icarus against alyss, icarus and fiona
I have one interesting question: Why nobody freaking care about that 4p Alyss is not working in the 3ple frost comp cuz of rotation? Still wonder why no one of the utubers think about this.
Did you reported the bug to Hota? Please elaborate more on it.
@@allenchiu7523 its not a bug, just read how Alyss matrix is working, and check how rotation of skills is going on this comp, everybody use Alyss 4p on Alyss, but its useless
Alyss clone does the discharge every skill cast?
Im using a6 saki a6 lin and a6 alyss. Does a1 icarus replace anyone?
Saki if your Lin has matrices, otherwise Lin
I do have full lin matrix and no icarus matrix. So a1 ica beats a6 saki?
@@raweltz Yes, he enables your Alyss off field damage alongside Lin field
frost main but I ran tank so gonna skip him for the next frost...and im comfortable either way with my current team C2 saki, c1 alyss, c1 lan...but let see how good is that new punch guy and I might switch to fire...playing duo btw so I dont pull for altered cuz my duo runs that even though they are tempting to pull for solo
this is why I feel like every element is trash in this game the balance is not f2p friendly and always force u to stick to one element ,,, as he said either do whatever you want or Target only Alter element and max them ,,, also this is total f2p perspective the only way to enjoy the combat is high spending / whaling ,,,
How is it not f2p friendly? you literally have units like Fenrir that on A1 can best older units at A5-A6, there's also new scylla and haboela matrices that are 75% the power of limited matrices so if you really wanted to you could just use those and don't pull on limited matrices, next patches we will have more ways to get copies and increase the stars on Scylla and Haboela too. There's rainbow teams and soon altered teams so you don't need to stick to one element, Fenrir opened rainbow teams and Gunonno will open more teams although not exactly rainbow, while Fiona opens altered and on 3.0 there's a very high chance of more multi-element teams.
Saying the only way to enjoy combat is whaling or high spending is ridiculous, I have f2p friends that are slapping bygone with low investment teams like Fenrir rainbow and there's also people that have spent a lot of money but do peanut damage, just as f2p even if you spend if you're not very smart or know how to do it you will be useless, like whales could literally max 2 limited matrices and use them forever.
@@siphi7583 calm down bro watch gates video you need to constantly pull for current gen weapons ,,, f2ps get around 150-200 pulls for every gen ,,, so with that you get only one char out of 4 elements ,,, if you miss one you are ditching the meta ,,, fenrir will be replaced in 3.0 anyway so that rainbow team you are dreaming is will be gutted soon ,,, this is why the safe bait is Alter only they dont replaced soon enough
@@potatopcgamer739 Constantly? you only need 1 of your element per gen and you don't get 150 pulls every gen that's ridiculous, if you miss one you're not ditching anything, you can get it on the rerun of the new element unit.
Rainbow team gutted soon, what are you talking about? are you one of those people that think that because there's something better your current team is useless? That team is literally massive value to low spenders and f2p, man people in this game are so misinformed it's crazy, no wonder ToF has such a bad reputation when the game is not even bad.
@@siphi7583 calm down bro I mean hey are going to make mistake in 3.0 and do the 2nd round of power creep which will be 2x stronger than fenrir rainbow
@@potatopcgamer739 The powercreep isn't a mistake. It's the devs being shitty and money grabbing.
I think Imma skip him for Gunono. Circumstances are (read: Gear RNG is) forcing me to run a Flame team with Lan instead so getting Gunono for rainbow comp should be a better option
Gunnono does nothing for rainbow
no lan kit breakdown ? sadge
Fiona guide please
Icarus is not a must have for frost mains so just pull for him if you like him or not. I pulled him last night coz he’s fun to play and managed to get him to 3 stars. He’s decent but CANNOT be compared with rainbow team dmg wise. So if you dont follow meta, you can skip him
Edited coz i forgot the word dont lol
How is he not a must for frost team when he is the character that make frost team relevant on current meta?
@@hypervelocity9704 like i said and what gateoo mentioned in the vid, if you dont follow meta, you can just skip him.
of course no one beat rainbow meta lol even with the latest volt and flame they are still below the full potential of rainbow shred res damage
but fyi icarus actually complete frost mono comp(of course alter frost could still be better when fiona release)
tbh icarus is not bad they are just skipping him because next banner is Fiona which is better and can be used in many comp
@@alexxandrite7831 well if you are following that logic, then no character is a must pull and you can just pull for waifu. The reason why people come to this video is to see his number and where icarus stand on current frost team meta( which he is a must have if you want to complete mono frost team)
@@bytes021 i feel like the reason most people skip him because many people doesnt like his design instead of meta pull. In my crew discord people keep saying "imagine pulling for femboy" and something similar like that lmao
i think for those someone who skipping for icarus is F2pain like me but i got tempt and pull for icarus instead lol got a0 only
Well, if i’m gonna get shafted for skipping him…..I’ll get shafted, and gladly 🤷🏻♀️
Personally, I think he’s designed for Rainbow teams with his matrix effects, and also his skill of increasing final dmg for different elemental type weapons equipped.
Where lan kit breakdown .
Interesting ♨now 😀🤘🏼
icarus's Matrixes are additive not multiplicative so it's going to get power crept pretty quick, you can get away with claudia matrices and it's about the same.
fun Fact I bet the Devs Didn't know that Icarus can be played like this. those Devs are brain Dead bet they made Icarus to spam left click until CN veteran invented this shit
I just don't want to give up hyperbody for my team. Frigg Saki and Alyss so comfortable with hyperbody, maybe I will just got for physical since Gunonno has hyperbody.
I mean, I'm frost main. But I rather not get carpal tunnel. Lmao. If I cared for meta then fuck yes ill pull for yo-yo Boi. But water dragon mommy Fiona is worth it. Frigg Saki and alyss . Thing is who Fiona will replace on the team. Waifu collection sim over meta every time.
skip icarus and just play a different game, come back in 3.0 lmao
his A3 got buffed but yo-yo field dmg was reduced from 100% to 30% of atk, so this is still irrelevant dmg
Anti Lin propaganda. The comp works perfectly fine with Lin, and yes, it does edge out triple frost. This fantasy of mobs always running out of fields and you always teleporting away is just that, a fantasy. Yes, it's something you need to sometimes be aware of and play around, but that's actually, no joke, a skill issue. Same for Meryl back in the day. These minor inconveniences always get blown out of proportion by whiners. All such things can easily be managed with just a bit of effort and foresight.
waifu over meta let the whale carry us f2p lmao \o\

ok
Yo Yo Yo

lets be real, people skip icarus because its a trap femboy. goodluck trying to use yulan without icarus in 3.0 KEKG
Community: New SSRs are powercreep. Old SSRs are trash now.
Icarus: lemme fix that.
i hate femboy so i'll give up meta and proceed waifu route ... they purposefully sh1t on frost since they know most frost users have always been waifus enjoyer while staying relevant in meta and they put Fiona after him knowing we'll surely pull for her but at the same time making icarus essential in frost meta so forcing some of us to pull him to be still relevant. If Icarus is cool dude like Tian or Zeke i wouldn't mind but this ... ewww
same bro, they should've just made him into a cool guy, what a waste of good voice actor too with those frilly design. A3 design is still manageable, but the default one is I dunno xD
It may sound petty but that is the big reason why I skip icarus because he's literally a femboy. I ain't selling my meta pride for femboy. I'm willing to be shafted. I dont care.
Rather, gateoo sounds like a salesman. I guess 10cent/Level Infinity knew that icarus banner won't sell well as fenrir.
keep crying lol hes hot
@@seyenas sound like you're a pope kek
frost char design going down the road...
Guess i am not a frost main anymore 💀👍
Imagine not get shafted instead of pulling doods 🤣
xdd
Kinda cringe that we are forced into pulling for an unappealing femboy character just to keep up with the meta, because the devs are so bad at balancing their game/care so little about their player base. His playstyle isn't even fun compared to the Alyss/Lin/Saki comp. It's literally a downgrade in terms of fun/enjoyment, but we basically have to pull him to not be completely irrelevant in terms of damage because of how scuffed this game is.
First
2ND
Hate being forced into pulling for an unimpressive character to stay vaguely relevant in the short-term and not get screwed in the long-term. Don't like the design, but would overlook it if the playstyle was more fun. All the jump canceling and spam is a symptom of poor design. Of course, Fiona is designed to work with Icarus, and everything in 3.0 probably will be too, so you can't skip! Better pony up if you don't have the resources, fun be damned. And you know he's about to get badly powercrept, since he exists to make Frost vaguely level with the last round of powercreep. Except in the most unsatisfying way possible. Game is bad.
Yeesh, after Nashville, ya would think they would tone down the woke creepiness on him.. can't even stand to look at it
No one cares that you're attracted to him
cope harder weirdo
If I just got fenrir and am running a1 fenrir, a1 saki and a1 lin but also have Alyss a1 and frigg should i pull if I don’t have enough to guarantee him or wait for Fiona and a rerun and save so I don’t waste pulls?
Wait for Fiona, Fiona buff the raimbows comps and the other comps, and the raimbows comps f2p (Fenrir a1, lin, saki a1) do more damage than a frost comp f2p (alyss a1, saki a1, icarus )
