Frozen Paladin

The Frozen Paladin is one of four Paladins found exclusively in Infinity Blade I. Like all Paladins, it is a large enemy. The Frozen Paladin wields the Incubus and Odin Guard. As his name suggests, his armor appears to be covered in ice. Also, like all Paladins in Infinity Blade I, they always have corresponding elemental defense and attack depending on their corresponding element, in the case of the Frozen Paladin, it's 
==Location== 
The Frozen Paladin can be encountered randomly at The River, The Outer Gate, and on the Central Stairway.
==Combat==
The Frozen Paladin fight's identically to the other Paladins. Paladins are generally more agile than other Large Enemies in Infinity Blade I. They can sometimes attack multiple times in quick succession. This, combined with their high elemental damage can make Paladins some of the most dangerous non boss enemies found in Infinity Blade I. 
===Stepbacks===
The Frozen Paladin has three Stepbacks
Jump Slash
Analysis	Analysis	Analysis
In this Stepback the Frozen Paladin does a faint attack as a distraction, then follows up with an overhead slash, and then leaps into the air to deliver another overhead slash. 
This Stepback can be avoided in multiple ways, the most optimal is dodge both of the overhead swings, then right before the Frozen Paladin recovers, a stab icon will appear on his head, allowing you to deal extra damage and start attacking. Additionally, you can also parry the first strike by swiping up to avoid the Stepback entirely, at the cost of less damage. If you're having trouble with either of these then holding shield will also work, it's just the least efficient sense it will give you the least amount of time to strike back, and Frozen Paladin can still deal damage sense he has attacks, provided you don't have a corresponding elemental defense shield.

Jump back Swing Around
Analysis	Analysis	Analysis
In this Stepback the Frozen Paladin jumps back, before spinning and delivering a slash from the right, and then the left.
This Stepback can be avoided in multiple ways, the most optimal is to dodge to the right, and then, right before the Frozen Paladin follows up with his second attack, a stab Icon will appear on his side, allowing you to interrupt his Stepback, and deal extra damage. Alternatively, you can dodge to the right, and then left, to avoid his two attacks respectively. If you're having trouble with either of these then holding shield will also work, it's just the least efficient sense it will give you the least amount of time to strike back, and Frozen Paladin can still deal damage sense if he has attacks, provided you don't have a corresponding elemental defense shield.

Sheild charge Slash 2
Analysis	Analysis	Analysis
In this stepback Frozen Paladin backs up slightly, before delivering a Sheild bash to the center, following up with a slash from the left, and then another slash from the right.
This Stepback can be avoided in multiple ways, by far the easiest is to simply dodge in any direction to avoid the shield bash, then a Stab Icon will appear on the Frozen Paladins chest, hitting it will end the Stepback early, and let you do extra damage. Alternatively, you can dodge in any direction to avoid the shield bash, then dodge to the left, and then to the right to avoid the follow up slashes. Shielding is not advisable here, as Frozen Paladin's shield bash can go through your guard, so if you are going to shield, make sure that you time it well, and have corresponding elemental defense (if he ha active), so The Frozen Paladin doesn't break your blocks.

===Combat tips Infinity Blade I and II===
The Frozen Paladin, along with all other Paladins, can be quick, and deal Hevey elemental damage, bringing a shield with resistance to , such as the Supreme Shield or Ruby Shield, is advisable, as Frozen Paladin will always have attack and resistance after a few bloodlines. Other than that, Paladins Stepbacks can be avoided pretty easily, and with practice Frozen Paladins shouldn't be much of a problem.
