It will break when hit by a projectile instead of the projectile going through like it used to.

Armed with hammers, swords and daggers, Cryomancer is ideal for a fast-paced rushdown style of play.

To counter rushdowns, Sub-Zero possesses the ability to create ice shields that freeze the opponents in their tracks.

He can also create ice armor which help to reduce chip damage.

These clones freeze opponents on contact and can also be used as projectiles.

He also gains the Frost Hammer (Down, Back2) and Air Frost Hammer (Down, Back2 in the air) special moves.

The enhanced Frost Hammer (Crushing Hammer) also has armor, which makes it useful as a wakeup attack.

However, both versions of the normal Frost Hammer are not safe if the opponent blocks.

Its one of the best uppercuts in the game and works very well as an anti-air attack.

While Grandmaster gives Sub-Zero the most useful tools thanks to the Ice Klone, if you need the extra damage and range.

Good for getting under projectiles, getting in on the opponent, doing a low mixup, ending a combo.

Not as good as MK9 X-RAY because he no longer shoulder bashes.

Instead of punching he uses an ice sword which gives better range.

Gains new combos like his 3 hit sword which adds to combos, attack range.

With longer range he can poke and pressure safer.

The forward4, 2, 13 combo does more damage and ends with reset standing opponent.

You can 5050 doing back2FROST HAMMER(overheads), back3 3Slide(lows).

FROST HAMMER is a second overhead.

ENHANCED version also launches the opponent for more combos.

Drawbacks are he has only SLIDE and ICE BURST to defend himself if the opponent overwhelms him.

Wake up SLIDE or ICE BURST gives some quick wake up but if in deep trouble use a bar to enhance.

Stops projectiles.

ENHANCED version starts faster and lasts a little longer.

FROZEN AURA is a temporary power up.

Regular version protects from all chip damage while covered in ice.

Use at the end of a combo or between blocked combo strings it is very hard to punish.

If an opponent constantly attacks, you can freeze them using BARRIER OF ICE and get a free combo.

With protection of FROZEN AURA you can outlast the opponent health wise.

KLONE trapping and strong corner game.

ICE KLONE puts space between him and the enemy.

He can move around while KLONE is on screen.

KLONE can be used to trap opponent in the corner and keep you safe while you attack them with unsafe moves like back2.

But if they walk up and block touch the KLONE it wont freeze them and the KLONE breaks.

KLONE now blocks projectiles(1 hit).
