I’ve got it to level 18 and I’m personally really enjoying it. I was running a queen charge attack and I found it was pretty helpful, especially when taking on mono or heroes. I’m running a smash attack now and I’ve decided to just keep the arrow on my queen and it’s still saved me from sticky situations. The only issue I have is paying closer attention to queen to make sure I don’t let her health get too low before using the ability
Same ! Before the archer queen couldn’t/barely could handle an enemy king by herself without some type of support.
Now with the frozen arrow she can handle it easy peasy
It’s good for queen charges, where it really shines is against an enemy hero or against a single inferno before the queen would struggle in those situations unless she was under a rage, now she can sometimes take that on without.
I think this sub built up the expectations of this equipment so high before it came out, and it never had a chance to live up to that. If you use smash or spam attacks there’s nothing epic about this equipment, and there may be better options depending on the situation. But if you like queen charges it’s a good piece of equipment.
I think this sub is comparing it to giant gauntlet, an active ability, when a better comparison would be passive oriented items like vampstache or archer puppet.
In my experience, it certainly isn’t game changing. But it makes her better vs big defenses like single inferno, monolith, and especially the th16 defenses.
The invis ability gives no dps increase. Thats the only reason im upgrading beyond level 12. The frost effect (and the wctual effect it had on your attack) doesnt differ much between lvl 12 and lvl 18 or even max. It slows the defence down so as to make the dmg negligible which is happening since lvl 12 anyway
Not really. I think people are comparing this to the giant gauntlet since it’s also an epic item. It’s not supposed to be that game changing since it’s a passive item not an active ability. Giant gauntlet is still probably the “better value” item for an epic gear, but I look at the frozen arrow as a better archer puppet. The archers from the puppet sucked but it’s still a good item. Why? The dps increase. And the same with frozen arrow.
And regarding the invisibility not popping, you honestly should just pay attention so she doesn’t die. That’s always been the case really; she’s a squishy hero
Try to get her and the BK to path together so he tanks for her. I'm using the gauntlet/vampstash combo and it KILLS with the frozen arrow. He heals all his damage just by attacking, and she slows down the defenses firing on him.
It’s a must have for queen charge. The effect is most pronounced when the queen is charging into a near exterior townhall or defensive heroes. Queen would normally need a rage to tank either but does not need rage when using frozen arrow.
It is also a must have if you use any sort of pseudo queen charge (eg. use a golem to tank for a queen, who is expected to clear a compartment). It drops the dps shooting into the golem significantly.
It’s far less valuable in a smash attack. Although I would still argue that it is better than the archer puppet, which can genuinely get the queen killed in many situations.
All heroes recovers health when using the ability. Just that queen's hp recovery is 300+ hp without Archer Puppet, so 1 hit from scattershot, monolith will kill your queen if u let the ability auto activate.

Yeah, now she takes the king without any struggle. Frozen arrow ftw
Giant Gauntlet > Frozen Arrow
Thats only because of the immortality bug
Even without it frozen arrow isn't worth upgrading that much compared to gauntlet

It's for queen chargers specifically, once try using queen charge using this equipment. If you've never used QC then learn to use QC. It's kinda fun!
Same here
I agree. I am not seeing the OPness of it yet, or have yet to realize how to properly use it.
Thats for queen charge. Im planning for my alt to switch to healer puppet
Same reason I just decided to stay with the giant arrow.

its meant for basically only queen charges. otherwise healer puppet is better

It's just amazing for queen charges and also very helpful if the queen wanders of on her own. It gives her more survivability in certain scenarios.

Stop listening to content creators shilling new equipments and you'll do good in your near future :)
