Ice Spirit overview
Card stats
Description
Spawns one lively little Ice Spirit to freeze a group of enemies. Stay frosty.
Ice Spirit battle strategy
At 1 elixir, Ice Spirit plays as a Common troop that targets air & ground. Released in 2016, it remains a reliable option for balancing offense and defense.
Opening plays and tempo
Lead with Ice Spirit when you can float 1 elixir. It lets you test your opponent's responses without committing a full push.
Support combinations
Pair Ice Spirit with spells or support troops that amplify a troop's pressure. Knockback, rage, or splash damage keep it on the board longer.
Defensive flip
Hold Ice Spirit for air & ground pushes when you need a fast trade. Survive the defense, then stack it behind surviving units for a counterattack.
Synergies and deck ideas
Cheap cycle cards help you get back to Ice Spirit whenever you need its toolkit in rotation.
Mix Ice Spirit with win conditions that benefit from its support or let it pressure the opposite lane as a secondary win condition.
Playing around counters
Identify hard counters early
Watch for buildings, splash damage, or swarms that shut Ice Spirit down. Force those answers out with spells or opposite-lane pressure.
Spell safety
Avoid stacking Ice Spirit near your tower. High-damage spells punish clumped units, so stagger deployments to reduce risk.
Upgrade priorities
Track the damage and hit point breakpoints that matter at your ladder tier. Leveling Ice Spirit so it survives common counter damage keeps it relevant.
