Mighty Glacier

A Mighty Glacier is a character who is very strong and durable, but is very slow. In terms of kart racing, it is a character or vehicle that has good speed, weight, drift, and/or mini-turbo, but has poor acceleration, handling, and/or off-road. Anyone whose element is water is almost guaranteed to be a Mighty Glacier.
As mentioned above, being strong has its downsides; what the user gains in durability, he/she loses in mobility. It is takes forever for the user to reach his/her target due to hi/her armor. As such, the user has to corner his/her target in order to land a hit to begin with, and if he/she does deal a hit, he/she will almost instantly take down his/her target.
Because Mighty Glaciers have low mobility, they rely skills and game plans to gain an advantage over weaker opponents. They tend to attack at a slow rate, but they deal a lot of damage.
This is similar to the Stone Wall, an archetype which sacrifices both offense and speed for defense, contrasting the Glass Cannon (trades defense for offense and speed). Its polar opposite is the Fragile Speedster, which sacrifices offense and defense for speed.
== Examples of Mighty Glaciers ==
* Wrath and Forgiveness are Mach class racers in Seven Deadly Sins Racing, having the best weight and mini-turbo in the game in addition to good speed and drift, but the worst acceleration in the game plus poor handling and off-road.
* Pride and Humility from the same game are Fast class racers, being the fastest characters in the game and having decent weight, but having the worst handling, off-road, and mini-turbo in the game, poor acceleration, and mediocre drift.
* Lorenzo, the water Elemental Ghost, can deal large amounts of damage to his foes and take just about any form of damage, but doesn't cover much ground.
* Barracudas are able to catch fast moving prey and one-shot most of them. However, their bodies don't have much defense, allowing sharks and dolphins to attack them. Barracudas sometimes travel in groups.
