As an open-world pet nurturing game, the Icebone Wolf is a core combat and exploration Imo in the ice region, with high defense and crowd control characteristics. Today, I will share how good the Icebone Wolf is as an Imo. As a partner that excels in both exploration and battle, it performs exceptionally well in special terrains such as snowy mountains and water areas, possessing the ability to generate ice surfaces, but attention should be paid to its growth. Let's learn more about it below!

The initial attributes of the Icebone Wolf lean towards speed and ice-based attacks, but its defense is relatively low, requiring skills like "Ice Crystal Armor" to enhance survivability. After evolving into a Frost Thunder Wolf, it unlocks the ice surface generation ability and significantly boosts magic attack and speed. Evolution requires completing specific tasks under the thunderstorm weather on the snowy mountain and collecting 20 "Frost Crystals" (obtained by mining in the snowy mountain or defeating ice-type monsters).

The core skill "Frost Assault" (straight-line dash + chance to freeze) is suitable for initiating control, paired with "Bite of Ice" (high single-target damage + frostbite) to form a burst combo. The passive "Polar Adaptation" (+15% movement speed in cold terrains) is recommended to increase mobility. In PvP, carrying "Ice Wall" can block ranged attacks, while in PvE, "Frost Howl" (area slow) is prioritized to assist the team.

After evolution, the Frost Thunder Wolf can generate ice surfaces on water that last for 15 seconds, useful for crossing lakes or activating ice mechanisms. In snowy mountain quests, the Icebone Wolf can detect hidden ice caves in advance (interaction key + long press of the olfactory skill), saving exploration time. It is recommended to pair it with a fire-type Imo (such as Flameclaw Beast) to melt enemy ice resistance, or a water-type healing Imo (such as Tidal Jellyfish) to compensate for survival weaknesses. Against grass and flying-type enemies, ice-type skills deal +30% damage.

Although the Icebone Wolf is relatively weak initially, after evolution, it combines exploration and combat advantages, especially suitable for complex terrain stages. By reasonably pairing skills and teams, it can become a core force in the mid to late game. If pursuing maximum output, it is suggested to prioritize enhancing magic attack and speed, and utilize terrain benefits to maximize crowd control capabilities.
