Ice Fruit Overview
The Ice Fruit is a B-tier Logia that excels at controlling the battlefield through freeze effects. Its combination of ranged projectiles and AoE freeze zones makes it a strong pick for players who prefer to dictate the pace of engagements. While its raw damage lags behind top-tier fruits, the crowd control more than compensates in skilled hands.
Ice Fruit users gain Logia intangibility against non-Haki attacks, giving them natural survivability in early-to-mid game content. The freeze debuff slows enemies by 40% and prevents dodging, opening them up for follow-up combos from teammates.
