Cryo Trooper

Overview
The Cryo Trooper is a unit introduced in the 2.5 Patch, along with the freeze status effect. The Cryo Trooper has a long range weapon for a soldier, but the lengthy cooldown and low damage is offset by the freezing ability with 100% chance. The -type damage and 20% armor piercing are just minor bonuses.

The freezing ability and range makes the Cryo Trooper a great support unit. This unit can freeze critical targets and take them out of commission for a round, and another unit can follow up and do 50% more damage to that frozen target. The Cryo Trooper has no damage reduction defenses, so it has to solely rely on its HP, further relegating it to the 2nd or 3rd row support role.

Strangely, like the other 2.5 Patch unit introduced, the Frostbite, the Cryo Trooper has an unusually lengthy hospital healing time. It is also the most expensive soldier unit, not taking into consideration rare resources.

It is useful for PVP as it can freeze any dangerous unit and leave it vulnerable to other units. A frozen tank can be damaged heavily by a Wimp as the resistances of a frozen unit do not count.

Like the arctic units, the Cryo Trooper is immune to the cold environment.
