Ice Bear Alpha Tips and Strategies


Use Fire Elemental Skills and Weapons

Tank - Use Fire Elemental Skill and Weapon
Exploit Ice Bear Alpha's weakness by using Fire Elemental weapons. This can drastically boost your damage output, even if you are using a weapon with low Advancement. Additionally, you can also equip skills with Fire Element Runes as an additional boost to your attacks.

Focus On Destroying The Stones

Upon reaching x10 to x15 health, Ice Bear Alpha will start summoning three magical stones that slowly build up a status effect that can Freeze you. Instead of trying to burst down Ice Bear Alpha, focus on destroying these stones before you get frozen.

Stay Behind Ice Bear Alpha

Try to stay behind Ice Bear Alpha as much as possible throughout the fight to avoid his charge attack, which can deal massive damage if you are unable to evade it effectively.

Best Team for Ice Bear Alpha

Use Fire Element or Characters With AOE Attacks
