==Description==
The '''Frost Hero''' is a strong enemy that appears in the [[Frost Mode|Frost]] mode. Like most of that mode's enemies, it first appeared in the [[Operation I.C.E Event]]. It has a high amount of health, however, it is one of the slowest enemies in the mode to compensate for that. When initially spawning in, it is a [[Flying]] enemy. It has one ability, where it targets up to three towers. With each hit, it freezes the targeted tower for 5 seconds, similarly stunning any other tower hit and also dealing 250 damage to units. All hits boost its [[Defense]] by 10% with no limit while on its third hit, it will float up into the air, making it a [[Flying]] enemy briefly.

==Logbook Description==
"''Frost Heroes are the champions of their craft, the most fearless fighters in the Frost Spirit's army. Adorned with the finest crystallized armor and woven Crystalline Frost Spinner silk, their decorated appearance matches their weapon—forged by The Maker himself. As the most devoted members of the Frost Army, Frost Heroes are capable enough to strike and stun towers.''"

==Appearance==
The '''Frost Hero''' has its entire body covered in blue, crystalized armor, which consists of a helmet, chestplate, spiked shoulder-pads, gloves, leg padding and shoes. It also wears a dark blue shirt and pants made out of Crystalline Frost Spinner Silk. On its torso, it also has a brown belt. On its back, it has a set of blue angelic wings, which it can use to fly in the air. In its right hand it wields a grey sword with blue crystals on the edges, which it uses to attack towers with.

==Strategy==
*High DPS towers like the [[Pursuit]], [[Ranger]], [[Accelerator]] or [[Engineer]] are great against the '''Frost Hero''' due to its high health.
**The [[Ranger]] and [[Pursuit]] are especially useful, due to their high range and stun immunity.
***The [[Medic]] can be used to shield towers from its attack, though do note that it attacking towers three times may lead to a tower getting hit more than once.
**Towers with flying detection can be useful as they will not stop for brief periods of time from it becoming a [[Flying]] enemy, though this is not a requirement for a tower to easily take it down.
*The '''Frost Hero''' initially has no [[Defense]], though it will gain 10% [[Defense]] with each swing, making it receive less damage from towers the longer it is on the path.
**Towers like the [[Pyromancer]], [[Freezer]], [[Electroshocker]] or [[Toxic Gunner]] can be used to reduce its [[Defense]].

==Trivia==
*Previously, every new iteration of the '''Frost Hero''' would coincidentally have its health doubled, starting from [[BETA v1.10|Pre-MEGA]]. However, this version has since broken that streak.
**This '''Frost Hero''' in the Easy difficulty is also the weakest iteration of the '''Frost Hero'''.
**If the tradition continued, '''Frost Hero''' would currently have 160,000 health.
*The tip on the right side of its sword has a missing texture. This can also be seen on its [[Index]] icon.
*The '''Frost Hero''' is unaffected by enemy appearance [[modifiers]], such as [[Talk Like a Pirate Day]].
*The '''Frost Hero''' was planned to be given an ability where it would spawn mid-way into the map instead of at the entrance in [[v2.8.0]] though this was cut.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/587355301083349002/892156782347161690/1542957366147027034 (Tower Defense Simulator Server)</ref>
