Project Slayers 2 WikiProject Slayers 2 Ice Manipulation Guide
Project Slayers 2 Ice Manipulation is a control-heavy Blood Demon Art built around spacing, sudden repositioning, and follow-up bursts. The showcase shows several attacks that change behavior at close range versus long range, plus one move that can function as a counter if you are struck during activation. In practice, Ice Manipulation rewards players who watch distance carefully and press follow-up inputs at the right moment.
Move list
| Move | Confirmed behavior | Practical use |
|---|---|---|
| Icicle area attack | Sends icicles downward, then a second press makes ice spikes erupt beneath the target. See 0:10. | Use it when you want to hold an area and force movement instead of chasing immediately. |
| Cold White Princesses | Teleports behind an in-range target, leaves an ice clone, restrains the target, and freezes them between two lotus entities. The narration also confirms an alternate counter use if you are hit during activation. See 0:47 and 1:07. | Treat it as a close-control tool that can also punish attacks aimed at you during the startup. |
| Hanging Garden | At long range, the user leaps backward and sends a spiraling ice projectile through a line before it detonates. At close range, the variation uses rapid arm slashes followed by delayed ice slashes. See 1:22 and 1:34. | Pick the version that matches your spacing: line pressure from far away or layered slashes up close. |
| Freezing Cloud | At close range, the user vanishes in icy wind and grabs then slams a nearby opponent. At long range, releasing the key creates an ice clone that stomps out a jagged ice wave. See 1:49 and 2:04. | This move is especially useful when you need either a sudden catch or a forward-moving wave after release. |
| Large ice Buddha summon | The visible summon breaks out of its shell, releases a freezing gust, and slams the ground to send ice spikes forward. See 2:27. | Think of this as a large field-control summon that starts with a dramatic reveal and ends with forward pressure. |
How to practice Ice Manipulation
- Learn the range split first. Several Ice Manipulation attacks behave differently depending on whether you are close or far away, especially Hanging Garden and Freezing Cloud.
- Practice the second input on the icicle area attack. The first cast sets the zone, and the follow-up is what turns that space into a threat under the target.
- Look for the counter timing on Cold White Princesses. The showcase specifically shows that getting struck during activation can lead into a counter use.
- Use the long-range versions to start pressure, then move into close-range variants when the opponent is already under stress.
- Watch the large ice Buddha summon from its first gust through the ground slam so you can recognize each stage.
