Conquering the Cold: Mastering Ice Weaknesses in Prodigy
In the ever-evolving world of Prodigy, understanding elemental strengths and weaknesses is key to becoming a true master wizard. The crucial question on many players’ minds is: what element reigns supreme against the frosty power of ice?
In the 2023 Battle Remake, the elemental synergy in Prodigy underwent a significant change. Ice is now weak to Plant elements. This means if you’re facing off against an Ice-type monster, you’ll want to bring along your Plant-type pets to deal the most damage. Utilizing the Plant element is crucial in securing victory against Ice adversaries.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Ice Weakness in Prodigy
Here are 15 frequently asked questions to help you further navigate the intricacies of elemental combat against Ice in Prodigy:
1. Was Ice always weak to Plant in Prodigy?
No, the weakness of Ice to Plant is a relatively recent change, introduced in the 2023 Battle Remake. Previously, the elemental matchups were different, so it’s important to adapt to the new system.
2. What other elements are important to consider in battles?
While Plant is Ice’s weakness, understanding all elemental interactions is important. Earth is strong against Water but weak to Fire. Water destroys Fire but is weak against Storm and Earth. Storm is strong against Water but weak against Fire. Knowing these interactions is crucial for strategic team building.
3. Are there any specific Plant pets that are particularly effective against Ice?
While any Plant-type pet will have an advantage, some pets have better stats or abilities. Consider pets with high attack power or special abilities that deal extra damage or debuff the enemy. Explore different Plant-type pets and experiment to find the ones that best fit your battling style.
4. Does armor affect elemental weaknesses?
No, armor primarily provides defensive bonuses and doesn’t directly alter elemental strengths or weaknesses. The most powerful armor available as of late 2023 appears to be Platinum Armor. Focus on choosing armor that offers the best overall protection, but always prioritize elemental matchups in battle.
5. How can I quickly identify an Ice-type enemy?
Ice-type enemies are often characterized by their frosty appearance, featuring elements like ice shards, snow, and light blue or white coloration. The Ice Wyrm boss, for instance, is a prime example of a visually distinct Ice-type creature.
6. What strategies can I use to defeat the Ice Wyrm boss?
The Ice Wyrm boss, a challenging foe in Shiverchill Mountains, is vulnerable to Plant-type attacks. Focus on using Plant pets, equip appropriate gear, and consider using strategic spells that enhance your team’s attack or weaken the boss. Note that only new players who haven’t completed Shiverchill Mountains will see this version of the Ice Wyrm, as it was changed into a new form.
7. Where can I find Plant-type pets?
Plant-type pets can be found in various locations throughout the world of Prodigy. Explore different areas, complete quests, and keep an eye out for opportunities to hatch or obtain Plant-type creatures. Checking the Academy is always a good idea, and knowing that the academy merchant is Pippet and Gale is the puppet master can also help you with quests and missions.
8. Are there any items that boost Plant-type damage?
While specific items that directly boost Plant-type damage may be limited, look for items that increase overall attack power or spellcasting ability. These will indirectly enhance the effectiveness of your Plant-type pets against Ice enemies.
9. Is Frostfang a good pet to use in general?
Frostfang, being an Ice Element pet, is useful against certain enemies (like those weak to Ice), but it will be at a disadvantage against Plant-type opponents. Consider Frostfang’s strengths and weaknesses when building your team. Frostfang resembles a big white wolf with a fluffy light blue mane around its neck and head, and shards of ice on its back, legs, head, and cheeks.
10. How does the All-Out Attack work in Prodigy?
The All-Out Attack spell allows all three team members to simultaneously deal damage to the enemy. Using this move with Plant-type pets against an Ice-type enemy can inflict significant damage. It has been rumored to do a maximum of 100,000 damage to Pippet, a boss in the game.

13. What are Ashlet and other high-power, low-heart pets?
Ashlet delivers the maximum power (9) but possesses the minimum hearts (1) of any pet in Prodigy. Only two other pets share the same characteristic.

The Ice Wyrm has an updated sprite that shares the same shape as Makalu. Keep an eye on updates to the game, as pets and bosses appearances may change as Prodigy evolves!
