Blizzard Spell Up1

The is a Special weapon introduced in the 16.4.0 Winter Update. It is the first upgrade of the Blizzard Spell. It can be upgraded to the Blizzard Spell Up2.
== Appearance ==
Like other spells, it takes the form of a book with a section open containing information about the spell itself.
The book has an ice blue cover with white stripes, and a storm cloud with a snow flake diagram on the right section of the page.
When held, the user will have a light grey storm cloud orb in their right hand with snowflake particles surrounding it.
When the spell is used, the user will summon a gust of light grey/blue wind in front of them, which will slow down and push back enemies caught within its blast.
== Strategy ==
The spell deals moderate damage, however it has a high DPS, paired with a high ammo capacity, and decent mobility.
When an enemy is caught within its spell radius, the enemy will be pushed back slightly while their movement decreases moderately.
=== Tips ===
*As it is a flamethrower, use it at close range.
*Use this on fast/highly mobile weapons so they can be slowed down, then finish them with another weapon.
*Due to its ability to push back enemies, it is effective at defending attackers from reaching a certain point such as a pathway or a flag.
*If an enemy is near the edge of bridge or building, one can use the spell to push them off, resulting in a kill assist, and a suicide penalty on the enemy.
**This can be helpful when trying to catch up in the leaderboard in Dual.
*This can be useful for taking down invisible players.
*It is recommended to be used in correlation with a high damaging weapon as it will take awhile to kill a player.
*Though it has a high ammo capacity, it can run out quickly if one is not careful. Be on a look out for ammo pick-ups around the map.
*The weapon can be used to prevent players from fleeing, especially when they are retreating with low health.
*Using the spell against charging melee users is an effective means in avoiding them from getting too close.
=== Counters ===
*Pick off its users from long ranges.
*Do not engage its users in close range as this weapon can deal heavy damage on you.
*Have a rocket jump weapon you could use to get away if the user is nearby
* Avoid getting to close to the user, keep your distance while firing to avoid getting caught.
** If caught, try to kill the user with your sniper.
* Avoid using melee weapons (including ones with area damage), as the spell can keep a fair distance away from the user and attacker.
