Black Frost is weak against Light, so bring demons who can cast powerful Hama skills. Take advantage of this weakness to gain more turns.
Black Frost can use Ice and Dark skills, so It's important not to bring into battle anyone weak against these elements. Demons who Block or Absorb Ice and Dark will be valuable to making Black Frost lose his turns.
Black Frost's Mabufula skill can deal a lot of damage to your entiry party, so having someone with a good Media or Mediarama healing skill will be helpful.
Black Frost is clearly the superior demon here. Right off the bat, Black Frost will have access to powerful skills like Ice Dracostrike +3 and Black Dracostrike +4 which are good Strength-based elemental attacks, plus Mabufula and the ability to learn Endure.
Dionysus only has one elemental skill in Agilao +2 as you get him. And while Dionysus can learn good Physical skills, his Strength, Vitality, and Magic are much lower than that of Black Frost's.
Lastly, Black Frost will be very useful in the upcoming boss fights with Shohei Yakumo, Surt, and Ishtar. Shohei Yakumo and Ishtar are weak to Dark, while Surt is weak to Ice. Black Frost has both Ice and Dark skills.
