►Characters Tier List
SS
►Reroll Tier List

Frostgale Kotone is the first dual-element character in the game capable of switching to either Wind or Ice. However, her strongest form is her Wind form, as she can deal high single-target Wind damage that can match the strengths of Queen or Noir as long as she is against enemies that are weak to Wind. She is placed in the SS-tier thanks to her power against wind-centric content and her place as the best will last for a long time.

Frostgale Kotone Skill Explanation

Start With Ailes au Vent / Frozen Wings

Always start the fight using her Skill 3, Ailes au Vent / Frozen Wings, depending on what element she is currently on. This will ensure that she starts stacking her Spring / Winter Vestige and consume it at the end of her second turn. However, only wind attacks from your allies (Spring Mode) or damage received by Frostgale Kotone or her allies (Winter mode) counts.

Do take note that she can only stack up to 5 Spring / Winter Vestige and wind or ice skill that hits multiple times only counts for 1 stack.

▲Back to the Top!▲

Follow Up With Eclat de Vent / Iceburst

After using her skill 3, Follow up with Skill 1, Eclat de Vent / Iceburst, depending on what element she is currently on. This will ensure that she inflicts a unique debuff to the enemy that boosts her damage and add more Spring / Winter Vestige stacks that will enhance the damage of her Skill 3.

▲Back to the Top!▲

Use Another Eclat de Vent / Iceburst if She Is at Awareness 6

Persona 5 X - Frostgale Mont Awareness 6
She needs to cast her Skill 1 again to gain more Spring / Winter Vestige stacks to make up for the fact that her skill 3 activates on turn 2 then gets extended by 1 more turn and activates again on turn 3 at Awareness Level 6 while regaining up to 4 Spring / Winter Visage stacks after the first activation of Spring / Winter Edge.

▲Back to the Top!▲

Always Use Highlight When Spring/Winter Edge Is About to End

Only use Frostgale Kotone's highlight when Spring / Winter Edge is about to end as it has a condition where it can give you more Spring / Winter Vestige stacks past its limit if it is active or deal more damage if not.

▲Back to the Top!▲

Use Zephyr / Sapphire Storm If There Are Multiple Enemies

Frostgale Kotone rarely uses this skill as she specializes in single-target enemies but if you have to then you can use her Skill 2 instead of her Skill 1 in her skill rotations to deal AoE damage instead of single-target.

Frostgale Kotone's main source of damage comes from her skill 3, Ailes au Vent / Frozen Wings, therefore you should max skill 3 first before moving on to her skill 1, Eclat de Vent / Iceburst, and lastly her Thief Tactics.

Her skill 2, Zephyr / Sapphire Storm, is best left lower level at level 6 or 8 as she rarely uses this skill.

Main Stats
Recommended Substats
• Damage Mult.

• Critical Damage
• Damage Mult.
• Pierce Rate

Frostgale Kotone's revelation set is Meditation and Opulence. We stated that Frostgale Kotone's strongest form is Spring (Wind) Mode but we still recommend Opulence for her revelation cards as it can further boost the damage of Resonance based attacks which is her main source of damage. Meditation also helps give more critical damage to Resonance attacks and is her best in slot when picking Opulence.

The main stats you need to aim for is critical rate and critical damage as she benefits from it greatly due to her skills that has multi-hit attacks. A lot of her buffs already increases her damage boosts and investing more on it will have diminishing returns hence why getting more critical rate and damage is much more preferred.

Note: The amount of ★ indicates the Mind Level to prioritize reaching the max level with.

To maximize the value of your materials on Frostgale Mont, it would be best to focus on the Skill Enhancement of Ailes au Vent / Frozen Wings to increase your primary damaging tool, which is the Resonance. In terms of stats, prioritize maxing out the Critical Stat before the General Stats to double your damage more consistently.

Best Awarenesses

Awareness 1Etched in Ice
★★★★★
Awareness 6Dance of Love
★★★★☆

If you are not planning to max out Frostgale Mont's Awareness but buff her up, it would be in your best interest to only get her A1. Her A1 generally buffs her Resonance, your main damaging tool, by increasing the potency of the Vestige Stacks. Apart from her A1, the other effects up until the fifth are not worth it.

If you do aim to splurge and maximize the character, her A6 essentially allows you to proc her Resonance damage back-to-back, essentially doubling your damage and making your rotation apply to a third cycle. That in itself is strong, as you can introduce more buffs to her second Resonance proc.

Spring Mode Team

Recommended Personas for Wonder
★★★★★
VishnuVishnu
★★★★★
DominionDominion
★★★★
DionysusDionysus
Party Composition
Frostgale KotoneF. Mont Ayaka SakaiChord Leo KamiyamaLeon Futaba SakuraOracle

Frostgale Kotone's Spring Mode is the best for her as she can deal massive amount of wind damage all by herself hence why we chose Chord, Leon and Oracle to further extend her damage output even though this team lacks more sources of wind damage.

  • F. Mont: She is the main DPS of this team capable of dealing high single-target wind damage to opponents.
  • Chord: She buffs F. Mont's attack and helps activate her highlight more to stack more Spring Vestige and deal more resonance damage.
  • Leon: He boosts F. Mont's critical rate, critical damage and attack while providing decent healing and shields.
  • Oracle: She can provide defense buff and further damage boost against wind weak enemies. She can also inflict wind weakness if the enemy is resistant to it.

Wonder will start with Vishnu with the Ex Machina dagger for more wind damage and attack buff. He first uses Dionysus to provide more crit rate and crit damage buffs then to Vishnu using Wind of Nirvana to inflict a lot of single-target defense debuff. These personas has buffs and debuffs that only lasts for 2 turns, it is better only have two of them for this party.

Party Composition
Frostgale KotoneF. Mont Yusuke KitagawaFox Masaki AshiyaCherish Yumi ShiinaPhoebe

The best team for Frostgale Kotone whenever she is in her Winter Mode is with Fox, Cherish and Phoebe to further boost their defense and help them with single-target ice damage and shields.

  • F. Mont: She is the sub-DPS of this team as she can provide defense buff to the party while doing her own single-target attacks.
  • Fox: He is the main DPS of this team. He inflicts high AoE ice damage that scales off of defense.
  • Cherish: He provides shield to Fox and F. Mont that they need and gives more defense buff to the party.
  • Phoebe: She can provide further ice damage boost since this team consists of 3 or more ice characters. This also helps boost their damage despite scaling off of defense.

Wonder will start with King Frost with the All In dagger for more defense buff to the party. He rotates to Sandalphon on the first turn to cast Devoted Guard then to King Frost and cast Snow King's Protection then back to Sandalphon again. The buffs these personas provide only lasts 2 turns so this team only needs 2 personas to function.
