Snowshade Frostling is a dual Ice and Cute-type spirit in Roco Kingdom: World. Despite its plush rabbit silhouette and toy-like coloration, it is a fully viable competitive pick built around freezing opponents and stripping their energy economy. Its trait, Got You, applies freeze pressure when it enters battle and forces frozen targets to pay extra energy on their next skill. The combined effect makes Snowshade Frostling a strong opener against opponents that rely on multi-cost setup moves.
Type and Role
Element: Ice / Cute
Combat role: Freeze controller and energy disruptor
Best matchups: Spirits that rely on a high-energy setup turn or that telegraph their opening burst skill
Weaknesses: Fire and Mech threats that race past the freeze setup, and Fighting attackers that punish Cute defensive stats
Snowshade Frostling pairs well with sustained controllers like Water Blue because frozen targets become free Moisture-stack farming for Water Blue's energy economy.
Got You Trait
On entry, Snowshade Frostling applies a freeze pressure check on the active enemy. While the target is frozen, every skill they cast costs additional energy. This compounds the standard Freeze status (which already restricts options) by making any thawed turn an expensive one. Pivoting Snowshade Frostling in repeatedly during a long fight effectively taxes the opponent twice for every freeze.
Design and Lore
Snowshade Frostling resembles a small plush rabbit dressed in winter colors, with oversized ears that it uses to mark territory. According to in-game flavor text, the doll-like body is a deceptive form. When the spirit's owner is in danger, the plush body transforms into a much larger rabbit creature that fiercely guards its territory. The shiny variant keeps the plush silhouette but shifts to brighter accent colors that make it a popular target for Shiny and Variant Spirits hunters.
Tips
Use Snowshade Frostling as a switch-in. The trait fires on entry, so pivoting refreshes the freeze pressure each time it returns to the field.
Stack a Cute power-boosting partner to push the trait's freeze rate up. Cute-typed spirits buff Cute-skill damage indirectly through team synergies.
Avoid leaving Snowshade Frostling out against Fire-heavy opponents. Its Ice typing takes super-effective damage from Fire, and Cute defensive stats are not high enough to absorb a sustained burn rotation.
Hunt the shiny variant through the Nightmare Shackles loop, the same chain that produces other shiny variants in the game.
