Role

Kold War Sub-Zero turns Frostbite setup into stronger critical damage and supports the team's power economy. He works best when Frostbite is maintained before a critical-heavy attack sequence.

Strengths

Kold War teammates can supply Frostbite through specials, sharing the setup burden. More members of that team also strengthen the power-generation advantage described in his synergy.

Weaknesses

His personal damage benefit requires both a frostbitten target and a critical hit. Critical damage support alone does not guarantee either condition will be present.

Best teams

Kold War allies using frequent specials help establish Frostbite. Add critical-hit chance through a compatible source if the intended job is to exploit Sub-Zero's critical damage bonus.

Where to use

He suits coordinated Kold War fights that alternate setup specials and offensive follow-up. Reassess the plan when the enemy prevents Frostbite rather than assuming the conditional bonus remains active.
