DC Universe Online Ice Powers Guide
Despite Arnold Schwartzeneggar’s portrayal of Mister Freeze in Batman and Robin, DC Universe Online Ice powers are pretty cool.
These chilly powers are used by the aforementioned Mister Freeze, but also by Killer Frost and Ice in the DC Universe, and are used in the game for tanking purposes. Players will have to break through your cold exterior if you choose Ice powers.
In DC Universe Online, Ice has two tech trees, and their very similar to the fire trees. Cryogenics is about turning yourself into a chilly killing machine, and Storm — the second power — is about directing the ice to create a frosty foe.

Ok, enough with the puns. Let’s look at the DC Universe Online Ice powers:
Cryogenics starts off with by boosting your resistances with a coat of ice around your character’s body. While fire is about hurting enemies near you, Ice is about protecting yourself.
Cryogenics also has skills that hurls ice blocks at enemies, and even a skill that transforms yourself into an abominable snowman with completely new weapon skills and powers.
The aforementioned Snowman is one of the three Supercharge moves that cryogenicists have at their disposal. It uses an entire meter to transform into the Ice Elemental, but the other two, Freeze Ray and and Hibernation only use half of the meter.
Hibernation encapsulates your body in ice and heals you while protecting you from damage, while Freeze Ray deals massive damage to enemies while starting another ice age.
Storm, on the other hand, is a flurry of projectiles. It starts with an attack that drags enemies towards you, but soon expands into with and hail hurling at enemies which freezes enemies in place.
There are also a few techniques that increase defense in this tree, but the most interesting is the power to summon a snow demon that’s resistant to melee attacks. The demon will do your bidding and make the area a little bit cooler.
The two Supercharge moves help control the placement of enemies. The first move, Deep Freeze, encapsulates a single foe into a block of use. This costs one-quarter of the Supercharge meter.
Blizzard is a much more impressive — but more expensive — Supercharge move. The skill costs the entire meter, but surrounds every nearby enemy in an ice storm that stuns and immobilizes them; giving your ice-user the time for any other ability in his arsenal.
Like other versatile powers in the game, Ice works well with both close and long range players, but most of his skill benefit from distance.
The resistance-boosting skills are fantastic, but being far away gives him other great advantages. We recommend mid-range weapons like hand blasts, staffs, bows and rifles for any ice player looking to stick their tongue to a pole.
And with that, you have the DCUO ice powers. Being an ice-power superhero will let you chill out and take damage without worrying about any major ramifications.
The ability to control the area of battle with ice storms is a fantastic addition to any team fighting fast-moving enemies in PvP.
