How to Beat King Frost

Use Jack Frost's Ice Block to Nullify King Bufula Use Demons with Rakunda, Sukunda, and Tarunda Stock up on Ice Dampeners Take Advantage of Omagatoki: Critical

Use Jack Frost's Ice Block to Nullify King Bufula

King Bufula is a powerful AoE Ice attack that can devastate your party. Jack Frost's Ice Block can completely nullify this attack.

Use Demons with Rakunda, Sukunda, and Tarunda

Debuffs are very important and can make a difficult fight more bearable. Keep King Frost's stats low so he doesn't overwhelm you.

Stock up on Ice Dampeners

Bring a whole bunch to this fight, as they could be useful to make King Frost lose his turns.

Take Advantage of Omagatoki: Critical

This Magatsuhi skill can save you a whole round without having to consume MP. Or you can use it to extend turns so that you can concentrate on healing and debuffing.

Best Demons to use against King Frost

Demons Resistant to Ice

Jack Frost absorbs Ice magic, while Chironnupu can Resist Ice attacks. Adding them to your team will increase your survivability.

Best Buff Bots

Kikuri-Hime can use Tarunda to lower King Frost's damage output, which can be helpful considering King Frost's +5 to Ice damage.

Best Healers

Principality is an amazing healer for its Diarama skill. Feng Huang and Ame no Uzume both have Media, which can save the party after King Frost uses King Bufula.

Best Damage Dealers

Feng Huang is an ideal damage dealer, since it has a powerful Agilao fire attack, while also not having any Ice weakness. Legion has a Mudo attack and can also take advantage of King Frost's weakness.
