Information[]

Background[]

Iceskimos makes their debut after the player has traversed deep into Full Moon after killing multiple Stovefaces in the level, slowly replacing them. Many Iceskimos are seen heavily fortified in their snow piles and icicle towers in Snow World, where they spam snowballs, which can be a minor annoyance. Right after, 3 Iceskimos are seen working with Frost King to prevent the player(s) from rescuing the Blue Princess in Ice Castle. Finally, an Iceskimo is resurrected by the Necromancer in his room in Wizard Castle Interior to fight the player.

Involvement[]

Iceskimos serves the Frost King, as they try to fend off the player from reaching him and rescuing the Blue princess in three levels.

Description[]

The Iceskimo wears a hood resembling the Thief, despite the lack of a real connection between the two. Icekismos takes the appearance of human figures with a blueish hoodie. Their hoods are all pointing up, and also covers their entire head. Also, what was to be their face is fully deepened (the hood), with some visible deep marks/lines, possibly for them to breathe, see, use their scent, etc. Or just to not show what their face looks like. Icekismos features fur on their hoods (in the back) and torso clothes, dark gray sleeve garters and leg wearing, normal gray pauldrons on the arms, and Shoes possibly made out of metal. Their torso and hoods have a color similiar to bright sky blue, while the front and bottom sideviews have are more likely light blue.

Their Beefy versions features a different type of hoodie without fur, as well as a belt. Their arms that were a dark gray color, were also replaced with a rosy finch color.

They hold a Shield fully made out of Ice; and they contain a spike on their front.

Iceskimos are one of the main antagonists of Back Off Barbarian, along with Fire Demons and Barbarians.

Magic[]

Splash Attack

"Ice Shards"

Element: Ice

Max Hits: 1 upgrade per level (max 7)

Damage/Hit: Base Magic Damage x 0.5

Use 360 RT360 Y/PS3 R2PS3 Triangle/Switch RTSwitch X to perform. At max level, the "Ice Shards" Splash Attack has no gaps in their landing location. With each shard being able to freeze normal enemies, this Splash Attack can be very useful with a full team of 4 being able to Juggle freely without taking any damage.

Unfortunately, it has a major downside. Unlike all other Splash Attacks, its Magic cost actually goes up each upgrade level, such that you will never be able to cast more than two times in a single full Magic bar. Thus, it drains Magic desired for other Splash Attacks and cannot be used as often.

This Splash Attack will never hit enemies that are already frozen.

Magic Projectile

"Snowball"

Element: Non-Elemental

Damage: Base Magic Damage

Use 360 RT360 B/PS3 R2PS3 Circle/Switch RTSwitch A to perform. Throws a snowball as a Magic Projectile.

Air Projectile

"Snowball"

Element: Non-Elemental

Damage: Base Magic Damage

Use 360 A, 360 RT360 Y/PS3 Cross, PS3 R2PS3 Triangle/Switch B, Switch RTSwitch X to perform. Throws a snowball as a Air Projectile.

Elemental Infusion

"Ice Encasement"

Element: Ice

Damage: Base Magic Damage + Base Melee Damage

Use 360 X360 X360 X360 Y/PS3 SquarePS3 SquarePS3 SquarePS3 Triangle/Switch YSwitch YSwitch YSwitch X to perform. This is considered the best Elemental Infusion in the game, because it can be used infinitely on an enemy.

When performed, the attack will freeze the enemy. This allows for the 360 X360 X360 X360 Y/PS3 SquarePS3 SquarePS3 SquarePS3 Triangle/Switch YSwitch YSwitch YSwitch X to be repeated infinitely without the enemy having any chance to retaliate. The Ice effect does not reset the hit counter. Because of how the combo can be repeated, using the drill combo (360 X360 X360 X360 Y360 Y/PS3 SquarePS3 SquarePS3 SquarePS3 TrianglePS3 Triangle/Switch YSwitch YSwitch YSwitch XSwitch X) is not optimal or needed.

Weapons with elemental effects may cause the enemy to break out of the freeze, allowing the enemy to retaliate, so it is worth keeping in mind not to use those weapons, especially on levels like Full Moon.

Magic Jump

"Snow Jump"

Element: Non-Elemental

Damage: Base Magic Damage

Use 360 RT360 A/PS3 R2PS3 Cross/Switch RTSwitch B to perform. Leaps up with a cloud of cold mist with, strangely, a metal impact-like sound that damages overlapped enemies.

Tips[]

  • Iceskimo can benefit from having a Magic and Strength heavy weapon like the NG Golden Sword.
  • Iceskimo can implement an extra hit like other Non-Elemental characters into a middleweight juggle whether their Magic Projectile or their Air Projectile.

Trivia[]

  • Some people associate Iceskimos with Thieves on account of their similar appearance and Unlock Path; this is true. But, Iceskimo possesses better Magic than the "Arrow Rain" Splash Attack characters.
  • Iceskimo's name is a portmanteau of the words eskimo and ice.
  • On the Xbox 360, players can dress up their Avatar as the Iceskimo by purchasing both the head and tunic in the Avatar Store.
  • Iceskimo, prior to Title Update 2 in the Xbox 360 Version of the game, had more mana drainage from his Magic attacks and also had a Non-Elemental Elemental Infusion, in the "Armor Pierce" Elemental Infusion. They were around the range of ironically, the "Arrow Rainers" (Thief, Peasant, Civilian, Open-Faced Gray Knight, and Stove Face) in terms of viability.
  • On Insane Mode, the Iceskimo that is revived during the Necromancer fight has more health than the Necromancer theirselves.
  • Throughout the game, Iceskimos are seen wielding both Fishing Spears and Clubs.
