How to Play Star Trace Resonance Ice Mage Guide to Playing Star Trace Resonance Ice Mage

There are many professions in Star Trace Resonance, and today we will be looking at one of the magic professions, known as the Ice Mage Mentor. This profession is expected to become a mainstream mage type in the later stages of the game, with many players choosing to use it. To help everyone get familiar with and master the gameplay of the Ice Mage Mentor in Star Trace Resonance, the following content will provide an introduction to the playstyle of the Ice Mage Mentor, helping you to get ahead and understand its mechanics.

When playing this profession, the first thing you need to learn is the output method of this profession. In actual combat, if you want to deal damage, you should start with the Rainfall skill. This is a direct damage skill without a cooldown, which can be considered a basic attack. The skill deals magic damage to enemies and restores energy, which is required to activate other skills. Therefore, you must start with this skill.

This skill has four segments, and you need to perform two sets consecutively to accumulate the first wave of energy. After accumulating enough energy, you should then use the Frost Lance skill. Using this skill consumes some energy to launch a frost lance at the enemy. After hitting the enemy, it applies a frozen state, which increases the damage of subsequent ice skills. Therefore, this skill should be used second.

After applying the debuff to the enemy with this skill, the next step is to release the Ice Ray skill. This skill consumes 15 points of frost energy and focuses a beam of ice energy on the target, dealing multiple hits of damage. The number of hits depends on the amount of energy; the more energy, the more hits. Normally, there should still be around 40 points of energy left, allowing for up to 10 hits, but you can only perform 3 hits before canceling the skill.

After canceling, the next skill to use is the Extreme Cold Snow Ode, which is an area-of-effect (AoE) skill that generates a frost field under your feet. This field repels nearby enemies, restores energy, and grants the character a freezing buff. Under this buff, all subsequent skills have freeze damage. Immediately after using this skill, follow up with the Obsidian Meteor, a high-energy-consuming skill that summons obsidian meteors above the target, dealing continuous high damage.

You can continuously use the recovery effect of the field to cast this skill until the field disappears. This is the core output method of this profession. After using this skill, you need to go back to basic attacks to accumulate energy. Before doing so, you can use the Clear Dragon Soft Pearl, a debuff skill that, when applied to the enemy, makes basic attacks explode, increasing their effectiveness. You can apply this skill during the second round of output, and then repeat the skills from the first round. This is the output method for this profession.

After understanding the technique, the next step is to look at the talent points for this profession. The talents that need to be fully maxed out are Ice Infusion, which accelerates energy recovery, and Critical Luck, which increases critical hit probability. Increasing critical hit rate enhances the profession's damage output. Finally, you should max out Frost Shelter, which directly provides a damage boost, the most straightforward damage increase buff. These are the talent points for this profession.

After completing the talent points, you can start crafting equipment. The recommended set is the frost attribute gear. After completing all the frost attribute equipment, prioritize intelligence in the gear stats, followed by critical hit and luck. Ideally, all gear should have these three stats. If all pieces have these stats, it's considered a major graduation; having two is a minor graduation, and having one is just barely usable. At the beginning, you don't need to aim for perfection; being barely usable is fine, and you can optimize later.

The above is the complete guide on how to play the Ice Mage Mentor in Star Trace Resonance. After reading the introduction above, you should now have a clear understanding of how to play this profession. When you decide to play this profession in the future, you can follow the instructions provided above.
