Strategy & Tips
Frost Heart is a Rare relic that enables the Ice block-snowball strategy. Normally, all unused block vanishes at end of turn, but with Frost Heart, half of it persists, meaning block-heavy turns carry defensive value into subsequent turns. In dedicated Ice decks that generate large amounts of block, this creates a snowball effect where each turn your baseline block grows.
The classic build is an Ice deck with high-block cards that stack block faster than enemies can break through it. Crystal of Duality synergizes by adding block from your attacks on top of your block cards, increasing the total that carries over. Berserker's Mark also pairs well, since the carried-over block acts as a safety net after your HP drops and Strength kicks in.
The relic is weaker in aggro decks that generate little block, since 50% of a small number is negligible. It also loses value against enemies with block-piercing attacks. Priority: always pick in block-heavy and Ice decks; situational in balanced builds.
