  • This set has been in the game for Tankers since Issue 0.
  • This set, along with Ice Armor, was briefly considered as a Brute Power Set in the City of Villains Beta. However, the -Recharge from the sets along with the +Defense of Ice Armor made them counteract Fury generation, so the sets were dropped.

IcyOnslaught IceSword.png Ice Sword 1 Melee, Moderate DMG(Cold/Lethal), Foe -Recharge, -SPD
