File:Icebolt 5 charge.jpg

Icebolt charged five times.
 * Icebolt can be stacked at a maximum of 5. The more you stack this spell, the less Mana you need for each cast.
 * According to Icebolt Spell: Origin and Training, each charge decreases the amount of Mana used by 10% of the amount used for the first charge.
 * At Rank 9, this skill takes 1.5 seconds to cast instead of 2.
 * Icebolt is shot one bolt at a time.
 * Icebolt pushes back enemies after 3 hits.
 * Monsters with Mana Deflector level 2 or 3 will not be knocked back or down by Icebolt.
 * Monsters with level 1 Mana Deflector are very difficult to knock back or down with Icebolt (usually takes 4 bolts to push it back. Sometimes it may be immune to knock back).
 * Mana Deflector at level 2 or 3 will "shrug" off the stunning effects and usually causes it to charge at you.
 * Icebolt can pushback with 2 hits after a knockdown or pushback and will go flying if criticaled.
 * It is not recommended to release all 5 Icebolt charges at once because the 5th charge will cause the monster to "phase" out of the knockdown animation and player will be a wide open target.
 * However, if done properly, you can get 3 knockbacks with 5 casts.
 * Two Icebolts can beat the Defense skill.
 * Icebolt charges disappears when you are knocked back/down.
 * At rank 1, Icebolt will lose only one charge when knocked back/down.
 * Example: If you have 5 charges and are knocked back you will now have 4 charges.
 * Icebolt has a very stable damage ratio, meaning that the Min-Max damage are close to one another.
 * Icebolt has the lowest Max damage, but the highest Min damage compared to other bolt spells.
 * Icebolt costs the least amount of AP compared to other bolt spells.
 * When using Icebolt in Magic Fusion, Icebolts trait of being able to shoot up to 5 times is added to the fused spell.
 * This skill usually resets the AI of a monster to use a normal attack against you (assuming no critical/knockback occurred). This, however, depends on their AI.
 * This only applies if the monster is already aggroing you; if it's not then it will aggro you with normal AI settings.
 * Evasion can be used to dodge Icebolt.
 * As of G13, Icebolt will cancel if the player equips a different weapon other than bare handed while the skill is loaded.
 * See Magic Based Solo Tactics, Magic/Action Based Solo Tactics, Magic Based Team Tactics, Magic/Melee Based Team Tactics, Magic/Ranged Based Team Tactics, for strategies to use in battle.
