| Icecounter | Frost Riposte | Blizzard Feint | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Duration | 1 min | 2 min | 3 min |
| Cone width | ~45° | ~90° | ~135° |
| Ice blasts | 1 | 3 | 5 |
- Once enchanted blocks with the Magick Shield do a small amount of Ice damage.
- Perfect Blocks (with the Core Skill of Reflect learnt) conjure Frazil like spells which damage all in a cone in front of the Arisen, with a high chance ro Freeze.
- Spell power increases with tier, with Icecounter being as almost powerful as High Frazil
- The width of the arc of the frost cone also increases with tier.
- Icecounter's blast is similar in size to Frazil; Frost Riposte's is like High Frazil
- The cone of cold is made up of one, three, or five ice blasts in quick succession.
- Despite the multiple blasts, a single foe will be hit only once.
- To cast the higher tier spells the incantation must be held for the casting to fully complete otherwise only the lower tier spell will be made.
- The burning from a Pyre Saurian's flame cloak can be perfect blocked..
- (Glitch) In Dark Arisen transitioning between areas with this skill active will randomly add a debilitation. The next enemy hit will be debilitated on the first hit. For details see the notes in Mystic Knight Shield Counters.
