Killer Instinct Guide › GLACIUS

INTRODUCTION

Glacius is the best long-ranged fighter in Killer Instinct. He possesses long-ranged attacks and unblockables that can hit his opponent from almost anywhere. His long-ranged abilities come at a price, however, as Glacius has no forward or back dash. When he enters Instinct Mode, he switches gears and is able to change up his play style to be offensive, allowing him to change the pace of the match at a moment’s notice.

INSTINCT MODE

Glacius gains one of the most powerful abilities in the game when he enters Instinct Mode: Ice Armor. Glacius absorbs a hit without causing a reaction; however, Glacius does take full damage from the attack he absorbs. After absorbing an attack with Ice Armor, the armor falls away, leaving a cool down for 2 seconds as it regenerates. Glacius can regenerate his Ice Armor as many as 5 times while he is in Instinct Mode.
