Overview

Ice Armor is a standard power set that is a primary set for Tankers and a secondary set for Stalkers.

"You can dramatically reduce your core body temperature to form various armors of ice around yourself. You can protect yourself from many different damage types, and you gain exceptional resistance to cold based attacks. However, this set offers little protection to fire base powers and no protection against Psionics."

Unlike most stealth powers, Hide can be used at the same time as other concealment powers, giving you even greater stealth capability. No Endurance cost.

Historical

Badge time.png This section contains information about changes that took place in City of Heroes Freedom. It is provided for historical purposes.
  • This set has been in the game for Tankers since Issue 0.
  • This set was proliferated to Stalkers in Issue 21.
  • This set, along with Ice Melee, was briefly considered as a Brute Power Set in the City of Villains Beta. However, the -Recharge from the sets along with the +Defense of Ice Armor made them counteract Fury generation, so the sets were dropped.
    The Brute's Power table would have been the following:
Power Level Effect
IceArmor IceArmor.png Frozen Armor 1 Toggle: Self +DEF(Smash/Lethal), +Res(Fire, Cold, DEF Debuff)
IceArmor Hoarfrost.png Hoarfrost 2 Self Heal, +Max Health, +Res(Toxic)
