Northern Gale Weapon Review By Pat Willis#224534

This niode Ice weapon was handed out to everyone who logged in, in honor of the Mezwar New Year.

For a freebie this weapon has some pretty nice kick to it. The damage is a point above a level 62 crystal White Knight, the speed is comparable with higher end ice weaponry, such as the Winter's Grasp, and the Wendigo. Crit-Kill isn't usually included in a ice weapons so seeing that as a weapon ability is really cool (no pun intended). The slow ability is featured across many of the ice weapons to varying degrees, so it's good to see an old stand by reappear here.

Now of course your skill point allotment, mecha build stats, and equipment load out will play into the performance you get out of this weapon. Especially with the crit kill, depending on mecha model it will either have a good deal of equipment slots or not so many. Of course with how equipment is made a good deal of the cockpit pieces are able to increase crit kill potential. Granted you could slap this on any mecha for basic performance stats, but the bonuses to ice damage as well as Slow ability pretty much decide this weapons fate on an ice mecha.
