Ice Armor generated f64 on ice. Ice Armor is broken after 40% of damage is taken or is removed immediately upon being parried. Etalus must also be placed in hitstun for armour to break from an attack, meaning moves like Ori's Spirit Flame or Maypul's seed are unable to break armor despite dealing damage. Ice cannot disappear while Etalus is using Neutral Special.

Armoured Up Special travels slightly less distance vertically in comparison to the non-armoured versions at the same level of charge, however you are able to act sooner due to decreased endlag and an earlier cancel window as a result.

65	94f	Hitpause frames extend lifetime, including Clairen's tipper stun. Frozen character's tech direction is locked in when the ice cracks on f65.
