The Glacier极寒冰川

Specialization relationships

The Glacier is one of three specialization choices offered to Gustav in the recovered specialization-choice sheet, listed at position 2 of the three. Gustav is a Mystic hero of the Aegis Global guild, tagged Frost, Shields in the balancing sheet. A ranged attacker (range 3), they operate away from the front line. Base Health 700 sits below the roster average of 805. In the game's lore, Gustav goes by "The Analyst" — "I've been wanting to test a scenario like this.". The mana curve runs 45 starting Mana into a 150 pool, regenerating 8/s. Picking this choice links Gustav to the passive ability The Glacier.

  • It carries the Shields, Stall, Frost tags, which the other two choices lack.
  • It is the only choice without the Shards tag.
  • Its linked ability exposes the most recovered balancing values (6) of the three.
Balance history · 0.5.3 – 0.5.8

No balance changes in 0.5.3 – 0.5.8 for The Glacier. The specialization sheet record is identical across the extracted 0.5.2 (build 24436268), 0.5.4 (build 24690909) and 0.5.8 (build 25188298) snapshots, and so is the linked ability's record. Gustav's own kit was touched (Blizzard (signature active)), but none of those entries concern this specialization.
