Cerese is an S-tier Frost crowd control mage. Equip Karma "Eternal Blizzard", 3-piece Ruinsbreaker + 2-piece Froststorm, and prioritize ATK, Crit Chance, and Crit DMG. Her best team is Othello + Dana for the strongest Frost composition in the game. Her icy storms group enemies, setting up both Othello's melee Frostbite and Reina's Airborne combos.

🎯 Playstyle
Cerese is a ranged Frost mage who excels at area control. Her skills create icy storms that pull clusters of enemies together and freeze them, grouping them for teammates to unload on. She is one of the safest heroes in the game — she can fight from distance, freeze approaching enemies, and her Frost application is among the most reliable in the roster. She is S-tier because she combines safety, crowd control, and damage in one package.

💡 Combat Tips
Blizzard First
Open fights with Blizzard to group enemies before using other skills.
Freeze Then Detonate
Stack Frost until enemies freeze, then swap to Othello for Frostbite detonation.
Position Safely
Cerese is fragile — stay at max range and use Frost Nova if enemies get close.
Group for Reina
Blizzard's pull sets up Reina's Airborne combos perfectly — coordinate swaps.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Using Glacial Prison before enemies are Frozen — it needs the Frost status
- Playing Cerese in melee range — she is a ranged mage
- Neglecting Crit stats — her multi-hit Blizzard scales heavily with crits
