Ice Princess Noah
Background
Don't let Noah's heavy armor deceive you. She is an Elemental Master in disguise! Noah has mastered the basic elemental skills of fire and can convert them all to ice skills. You will want to watch out for Ice Magic Balls when in battle against her. Noah also has the ability to freeze opponents that are right in front of her. Gather all the adventurers and come challenge her to see her magical powers!
Combo Modifications
Noah has access to all Elemental Master combos. However, every fireball is converted to an iceball, which will cast frostbite upon targets on contact. Noah does not have access to High Magician's xxvxx combo, however.

Like all NPCs, Noah benefits from a heightened mana regeneration rate. | All NPCs will have an extremely fast passive mana regeneration rate, and will also receive bonus MP when either hitting or being hit by players. Because of this passive, NPC skills are bound only by cooldown and not by their MP cost. Furthermore, NPCs can mana break combos at virtually any time. | |||
 |
Noah summons a shield that reduces damage. | Reduces damage by 60%. Unlike Aisha's Mana Shield, this skill is constantly on and cannot be broken. | |||
 |
Noah instantly moves a certain distance to another location. | Noah is invincible for the duration of this skill. | |||
 |
Noah summons three iceballs that rotate around her, casting frostbite when hit. | An enhanced version of Aisha's Flame Circle. Each iceball has a maximum of two hits; unlike Aisha's Flame Circle, the iceballs are fixed in damage and do not increase in damage as they rotate. For this reason, this skill is extremely lethal should Noah have you cornered. | |||
 |
Noah strikes the ground in front of her, transforming her opponent into a frozen statue. | Has a long start-up time, but will auto-target opponents within approximately a 500 range. Freezes upon contact. | |||
 |
Noah summons a glowing missile that automatically targets opponents. | Equivalent to the noted version of High Magician's Magic Missile. Noah's AI tends to use this skill when you are far away from her to prevent you from camping. | |||
 |
Noah summons fifteen ice shards that fall diagonally from the air, freezing any opponents that they come in contact with. | An enhanced version of High Magician's Blizzard Shower. Unlike Aisha's Blizzard Shower, however, Noah's Blizzard do not hit only once per shard; each shard can do a number of hits (typically around three or more) as they pass through a player's body, potentially doing extremely high damage. Freezes upon contact. | |||
 |
Noah spins and casts a spell that causes snowflakes to constantly rise from her feet. | An enhanced version of High Magician's Blaze Step. Unlike Blaze Step, this skill deals significantly more hits upon contact; similar to Blaze Step, Frost Step only causes hit-stun half of the time. Lasts for 17 seconds, and each hit will cast Frostbite upon contact. |
Strategy
Noah's attacks deal very little damage. However, thanks to her Mana Shield passive, she also takes very little damage, which guarantees a very long and drawn out battle unless you have significant Additional Attack, which helps pierce her shield. As a rule of thumb, you should be packing at least 10-20% Additional Attack and Damage Reduction, but that rule applies to all NPCs.
Her strongest damage dealer, which can come as a significant surprise to players, is her Blizzard Shower - since each shard can hit upwards of three times as opposed to the usual once for High Magician's Blizzard, and on average, hits with three shards, sometimes more, Noah's Blizzard Shower can easily wipe out a chunk of your HP if she gets lucky with the hits. In fact, Blizzard Shower can be considered one of the strongest NPC skills due to this property. Fortunately, since this skill has a significant cast time, it's fairly easy to escape by running outside of the range as soon as she casts this skill - unfortunately, since many of Noah's hits land frostbite upon you, you may not have the opportunity to with lowered run/jump speed. For this reason, it's essential to have ice resist, which should be a pre-requisite to entering PvP given how popular the element is amongst player characters anyway.
Generally, Noah's biggest weakness is close-quarter combat. The majority of her special actives are ranged, and her actives generally require some start-up time and range as well. While she does have access to staff attacks, she generally prefers to use fireballs (namely, High Magician's xx<x combo, xxx and her >>xx combo), which pose the biggest threat damage-wise; so your best bet is to lock Noah in a combo and deal damage through that avenue, especially since relying on special actives will mean significantly less damage to her thanks to her Mana Shield passive.
Finally, a notable threat is the combination of her Frost Step and Magic Missile; Frost Step, with its extensive stunning capabilities, can easily ruin combos, and thanks to Noah's ability to teleport all over the map, often counter special actives as well. In team games, Frost Step furthermore permits Noah to escape delays and wreck havoc if a target is inside her Frost Step during a delay. While she often uses Magic Missile as a means of countering people who stay their distance, her Magic Missile deals minimal damage and is easily looped; for this reason, if Noah casts Frost Step, it is advised that the player steer clear of her until the skill runs out. Alternatively, Elswords can use Stoic, and the girls can use ranged attacks to still deal damage to Noah as she has this special active on.
