Winter Lord

Winter Lords are enemies encountered in the Frozen North, in Kingdom Rush: Vengeance. They were introduced in the Frozen Nightmare Mini-Campaign.
==Overview==
Spirits that have served the Queen for milennia, their power can neutralize most damage dealt to them. Their icy touch corrodes metal and flesh.
Ice elemental spirit warriors with the capability to nearly nullify damage from physical or magical attacks while inflicting permanent frostbite on troops. Their resistance (changes every 15 seconds) is signified by the type of debris floating around them, stone means they have physical armor, while ice means they have magic resistance. They always start with armor.
Furthermore, their attacks cause a frostbite status that deals extra 10 True Damage per 0.5 second and lasts until the affected dies, meaning that they can kill even heroes should they hit.
All in all, these two abilities along with relatively high HP makes Winter Lords dangerous foes that should be kept away from Heroes at all costs. Only flying heroes, and the Doom Tank SG-11, sans the expendables, are safe from this fate. Asra, Jack O'Lantern and Tramin can remove the affliction by Teleport or Rocket Jump. Margosa can remove it by triggering Beast Form or by shapeshifting into a bat.
==Strategy==
* Thanks to their ability to alternate armor and magic resistance, it is recommended to use an alternating mix of leveled physical and magic towers. Using artilley is also possible, as it ignores a large portion of enemy armor.
* If using Barracks to block them, level up the barracks as the Winter Lord will inflict a strong HP-draining status on them. The frostbite status will eventually kill them, but it will take a longer time to do so.
* Death is inevitable to any unit once attacked by the Winter Lord. Healing abilities can only slow down their fate. Jigou can survive it thanks to his fast health regeneration. Teleport and Rocket Jump instantly remove the affliction.
* Specters Mausoleum's Possession can be very useful against these. The permanent lasting frost status they inflict makes them very useful against their own allies, and they can even inflict this against The Winter Queen.
