Strategy

Tips

  • Use this to mow down heavily armored players due to its high damage.
  • Due to its Area Damage attribute, it is effective for keeping Melee users away from you.
  • Use a sniper like the Project 'Marlin' to pick off users in long range.
  • The ice spikes are useful for crowd control and area denial.
  • When an enemy is trapped in the spikes, finish them off quickly.
  • Spam this down hallways to give enemies a hard time getting through.
  • Jumping while using the club will summon ice spikes in the air, making it even harder for enemies to avoid the spikes.
  • This weapon is good in Block Crash.
  • This weapon is very effective in close quarters maps such as Pool Party or Silent School.
  • Also, use this to counter sly wolf users as it ignores the shield attribute.
  • This can also go through walls so use that if you see an enemy run to cover if you know where they are spam it through the wall as it doesn't take damage reduction through walls.
  • This weapon ignores the Energy Shield module combo.
  • It is capable of hitting people above you, including people jumping or using jetpacks, as well as people on roofs, as it ignores ceilings.
  • This weapon is capable of hitting players using the Sly Wolf or Spirit Mask.

Counters

  • Pick off its user(s) from long ranges.
  • Area damage weapons and shotgun weapons decimate users at close range.
  • Do not try to attack its users in a linear position, since the consecutive explosions will finish you off even in a medium distance.
  • Using the Jetpack can render this weapon useless due to its limited range.
  • Try running and jumping while attacking to avoid getting hit by the user's attacks, especially from the area damage attacks.
  • If attacked from behind, escape from the user while firing back at them.
  • Keep jumping to minimize the damage taken when the user attacks.
  • Flank around the user and attack from their sides, so he will have a hard time trying to retaliate you.
  • Use the Reflector (Gadget) to make sure that the user will kill himself in an attempt to damage you with this weapon.
  • When playing in Block Crash, use rocket-jumping weapons as the Ice Club cannot rocket jump.
  • If you encounter a user charging you with this weapon, shoot and run away. This weapon does not have unlimited range, the ice spikes only go a certain distance.
