'''Ice Armor''' is a standard power set that is a primary set for [[Tanker]]s and a secondary set for [[Stalker]]s and [[Scrapper]]s.


'''Ice Armor''' is a [[Tanker]] primary powerset in City of Heroes. (It was briefly a [[Brute]] secondary powerset in the City of Villains Beta, but proved to counteract Fury.)
"You can dramatically reduce your core body temperature to form various armors of ice around yourself. You can protect yourself from many different damage types, and you gain exceptional resistance to cold based attacks. However, this set offers little protection to fire base powers and no protection against Psionics."

=== [[File:IceArmor EnergyAbsorption.png]] Energy Absorption ===
Recharge: Very Fast
Activating this power draws moisture directly from the bodies of all nearby foes, draining their Endurance. Each foe you draw moisture from adds to your Endurance as well as Defense to all attacks except Psionics. The first foe you absorb grants the highest Defense bonus, and you can absorb up to 10 foes. In addition to Defense, Energy Absorption also grants you resistance to Slow effects. If there are no foes within range, this power will fail.

Activating this power draws moisture directly from the bodies of all nearby foes, draining their Endurance. Each foe you draw moisture from adds to your Endurance and Defense in the form of frozen armor. If there are no foes within range, you will not gain any bonus.

When you activate this power you cover yourself in Glacial Ice. The crystalline matrix of the armor has refracting properties that make Energy and Negative Energy attacks less likely to land, and acts as a lens to increase your Perception to see hidden foes. The bitter cold of Glacial Armor also reduces Cold damage and also allows you to resist Defense DeBuffs.

'''Minimum Level:''' 1 (Tanker)
When you activate this power, you encase yourself in a block of solid ice, making yourself invulnerable, though you are frozen solid and cannot act. While Hibernating within this block of ice, you heal damage and recover endurance at an incredible rate. You can emerge at will by deactivating the power, but you cannot Hibernate for more than 30 seconds. If you activate this power while in the air, you will fall.

=== [[File:IceArmor_Hide.png]] Hide ===
Recharge: Very Fast
Hide makes you almost impossible to detect. When properly 'Hidden', a Stalker can pull off critical hits with his attacks, and even land a massive 'Assassins Strike' with an Assassins power. When you attack or are damaged while using this power, you will be discovered. Even if discovered, you are hard to see and retain some bonus to defense. Unlike most stealth powers, Hide can be used at the same time as other concealment powers, giving you even greater stealth capability. No Endurance cost.

Activating this power covers you in a thick layer of Hoarfrost. The frost can absorb the impact from enemy attacks, effectively increasing your maximum Hit Points for a short time. Hoarfrost also grants you resistance to Toxic Damage.


When you activate this power, you encase yourself in a block of solid ice, making yourself invulnerable, though you are frozen solid and cannot act. While Hibernating within this block of ice, you heal damage at an incredible rate. You also have endurance recovery while in Hibernation. This power lasts for 30 seconds.  Your other toggles will remain active while in Hibernation but you cannot affect anyone during this time.  You also cannot activate any powers until you come out of Hibernation.

Your body temperature permanently lowers to 33 degrees Fahrenheit. Permafrost gives you strong resistance to Cold damage, and some resistance to Fire damage as well. You also gain an inherent resistance to Slow effects. This power is always on and does not cost Endurance.

Overview

Ice Armor is a standard power set that is a primary set for Tankers and a secondary set for Stalkers and Scrappers.

"You can dramatically reduce your core body temperature to form various armors of ice around yourself. You can protect yourself from many different damage types, and you gain exceptional resistance to cold based attacks. However, this set offers little protection to fire base powers and no protection against Psionics."

Activating this power draws moisture directly from the bodies of all nearby foes, draining their Endurance. Each foe you draw moisture from adds to your Endurance as well as Defense to all attacks except Psionics. The first foe you absorb grants the highest Defense bonus, and you can absorb up to 10 foes. In addition to Defense, Energy Absorption also grants you resistance to Slow effects. If there are no foes within range, this power will fail.

Glacial Armor

When you activate this power you cover yourself in Glacial Ice. The crystalline matrix of the armor has refracting properties that make Energy and Negative Energy attacks less likely to land, and acts as a lens to increase your Perception to see hidden foes. The bitter cold of Glacial Armor also reduces Cold damage and also allows you to resist Defense DeBuffs.

Hibernate

Hibernate

When you activate this power, you encase yourself in a block of solid ice, making yourself invulnerable, though you are frozen solid and cannot act. While Hibernating within this block of ice, you heal damage and recover endurance at an incredible rate. You can emerge at will by deactivating the power, but you cannot Hibernate for more than 30 seconds. If you activate this power while in the air, you will fall.

Hide

Hide makes you almost impossible to detect. When properly 'Hidden', a Stalker can pull off critical hits with his attacks, and even land a massive 'Assassins Strike' with an Assassins power. When you attack or are damaged while using this power, you will be discovered. Even if discovered, you are hard to see and retain some bonus to defense. Unlike most stealth powers, Hide can be used at the same time as other concealment powers, giving you even greater stealth capability. No Endurance cost.

Wet Ice

When you activate this power, you cover yourself in a thick coating of slick, melting ice. This makes you slippery, leaving you nearly immune to Disorient, Immobilization, Hold, Sleep, Slow and Knockback effects. This power also adds a slight increase in your defense to all attacks except Psionics. Wet Ice also reduces Cold damage and grants you resistance to Defense DeBuffs.
