Othello is an S-tier Frostbite melee DPS. Equip Karma "The Spear That Fells the Sun", 3-piece Ruinsbreaker + 2-piece Froststorm, and prioritize ATK, Crit Chance, and Crit DMG with Resolve runes. His best team is Cerese + Dana for the full Frost composition. His high innate DEF Ignore (6000+ ATK even without exclusive weapon) makes his damage exceptionally stable.

🎯 Playstyle
Othello is the melee detonator of Frost teams. While Cerese and Dana apply Frost from range, Othello closes in with his spear to shatter Frozen enemies with Frostbite. He has high innate DEF Ignore, meaning his damage is consistent even against armored enemies. He also serves as a frontline bodyguard for ranged teammates, intercepting enemies that break through control spells.

💡 Combat Tips
Wait for Freeze
Don't use Frostbite Burst until Cerese/Dana have Frozen the target — patience maximizes damage.
Use Reach
Othello's spear has long reach — attack from just outside enemy range to stay safe.
Bodyguard Role
When playing ranged teammates, Othello intercepts enemies that break through Frost control.
DEF Ignore is Key
His high innate DEF Ignore means he doesn't need DEF Ignore substats as much as other heroes.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Using Signal Skill before the target is Frozen — the detonation needs Frost
- Treating Othello as a pure tank — he is a DPS who can take some hits, not a tank
- Neglecting Crit stats — his fast spear combos crit frequently
