Glacier

Gain 7 Block. Channel 2 Frost.

Glacier is an uncommon Defect skill costing 2 Energy that gains 7 Block and channels 2 Frost Orbs. This dual benefit provides immediate defense and long-term Frost Orb scaling, making Glacier one of the Defect's best defensive cards. The 2 Frost Orbs generate passive Block every turn and provide substantial Block on Evoke.

Glacier synergizes powerfully with Defragment, which boosts every Frost Orb's passive and Evoke Block. Coolheaded adds more Frost channeling with card draw, and Loop triggers the rightmost Frost passive each turn. Hailstorm adds offensive AoE damage to the Frost board, and Compile's 3-Orb condition is easy to meet with Glacier's 2 channels.

For the Defect, Glacier is a premium defensive card that anchors Frost-based builds. Against sustained-damage bosses like Kin Priest and The Insatiable, the Frost wall from Glacier and Defragment generates enough Block to survive indefinitely. Against Lagavulin Matriarch, the immediate 7 Block plus Frost passives buy time to set up. Pick Glacier in any Defect deck that wants reliable defense.
