The Cryo Trooper is a unit introduced in the 2.5 Patch, along with the freeze status effect. It is equipped with a long-range weapon for an infantry unit, featuring a lengthy cooldown and relatively low base damage. These drawbacks are offset by its weapon’s guaranteed freezing effect and a minor bonus of Explosive type damage with 20% armor penetration.
The Cryo Trooper functions primarily as a support unit. Its freezing ability allows it to immobilize key enemy targets for one round, enabling allied units to focus fire effectively. When a target is frozen, its base defense and armor defense modifiers for Crushing, Explosive, Fire, and Piercing damage types are increased to 150%, meaning these attacks deal 1.5× damage to frozen units. Due to the lack of inherent defensive bonuses or damage reduction, the Cryo Trooper relies mainly on its base HP for survivability. As a result, it is best positioned in the second or third row, where it can provide ranged and crowd-control support rather than acting as a frontline combatant.
The Cryo Trooper shares a similar trait with the other Patch 2.5 unit, the Frostbite, having an unusually long hospital recovery time. It is also the most expensive standard soldier unit in Gold and costs Laurels to train.
Strangely, like the other 2.5 Patch unit introduced, the Cryo Trooper has an unusually lengthy hospital healing time. It is also the most expensive soldier unit, not taking into consideration rare resources.
Like the arctic units, the Cryo Trooper is immune to the cold environment.
