Passive

Absolute Zero
When Onslaught Sub-Zero receives fatal damage, once per match he encases himself in a Cryoshell. While Cryoshell is active, he becomes invincible and gains up to 50% of max. health and full power over time. The opponent must hit the Cryoshell 15 times to shatter it. For each Combo Ender against it, the opponent receives a stack of Coldgrip.

Each Coldgrip increases Special Attack damage taken by the opponent by 10% and adds a 20% chance to Freeze them on a tag-out attempt. Coldgrip is also applied on any Special Attack, up to total of 5 stacks.

Team Passive

Sub-Zero assists his teammates every 12 seconds with an Ice Ball, which applies a stack of Coldgrip.
Sub-Zero can save any of his Onslaught teammates from death once by encasing them in a Cryoshell.

Role

Onslaught Sub-Zero combines an emergency Cryoshell with Coldgrip setup that makes an enemy more vulnerable to specials.

Strengths

Coldgrip can develop through his specials and off-field assistance, while Cryoshell creates time to recover after otherwise fatal damage.

Weaknesses

His personal shell is limited, and its recovery happens over time while the opponent works to break it; do not assume an immediate full reset.

Best teams

Onslaught allies qualify for his additional rescue, while special-focused attackers can exploit an enemy carrying Coldgrip.

Where to use

Use him in longer exchanges where Coldgrip stacks and a prepared rescue can change the outcome, tracking the enemy's attempted exits.
