## Description

Glaciens are a humanoid race with a tragic history in the purity. They are immune to frost and can inflict their cold onto others.

Glaciens typically have light-blue skin, icy hair, and two ice "pauldron" spikes.

## Lore

> "Their bones turned to ice, strong yet brittle; their hair froze over, unchanged; their ears became ice, not needed as the mind is a fickle thing; their skin began to be a pale blue, a lack of warmth; and other, more internal changes occurred to make them fit and 'pure.'"

## How to obtain

1. Obtain a Soul Piece, Pice Shard, Snow Shroom, and a Large Bottle.
2. Combine the 4 Items in a Cauldron to make a **Glacien Rune**.
3. Be a maxed out Super Class. Be Level 10.
4. Stand in any place inside the Despairful Woodlands, and wait until you get Frostbite and start losing health.
5. Use the Glacien Rune.
6. If successful, you will lose all your lives at once and be sent to the Circle of Souls. Walking through the circle will set your race to become a Glacien.

The formula for the chance to become a Glacien is Lives \* Level, so being Level 15 with 3 lives is the best way to

## Racial Abilities

* **Origins of Frost -** Freezing to death is no longer possible (you have Frostbite immunity), you have immunity to ice spells, and the effects of bleeding are reduced.
* **Tempermental -** 0.5x Heat Resist.
* **Purified Body -** Gain **+1** **HP** every level, up to a maximum of **+15 HP**. Passively take 15% less damage from physical attacks.
* **Enemy of the Rot -** Cannot obtain the Rotborn race. Attempting to do so will kill the player but turn their Glacien purple.

## Leveling

* **Level 4 - Frost Shield:** Cover yourself in a thin icy glow, reducing damage taken by 30% and slowing people that hit you. (Lasts 30 seconds, Cooldown is 60 seconds.)
* **Level 5 - Everfrost:** Your body adjusts to the environment around you. Your heat gain returns to neutral.

## **Pros and Cons**

### **Pros**

* Really good for a tanky playstyle, as you get extra HP, damage reduction and you freeze others when they hit you.
* Amazing for fighting or running in tundra, as you will be able to escape anyone other than other Glaciens because of your immunity to the cold.

### **Cons**

* Lacks combat skills outside of Frost Shield.
* Until level 5, farming Magma Trolls is difficult due to your reduced heat resistance.

## Recommended Classes

* Knight, as the increased amount of hp and slow-proccing hits allow for pull in combat with high durability. You can also stack Frost Shield with Fortify allowing for a really good supportive playstyle in team fights, resisting well and slowing enemies.
* Fencer, as the damage resistance and slow-proc on your hits allow you to be aggressive and deal high damage.

## **Notes**

* Glaciens used to get 1.5HP+ with each level, but this was removed after the Recode. The passive was brought back but reduced to 1HP per level.

## **Trivia**

* Glaciens normally have blue~ish eyes, but Pre-Recode Glaciens who haven't wiped yet have completely black eyes.
* Glacien was the first obtainable race.
* Glaciens used to have an icicle as their head and progressed into its current state, but this was removed and Glaciens are always humanoid.
* Glacien has had more than three obtainment methods since its release.
