Yeah, ice doesn’t do much to damage ice. In that sense, Blizzard makes Red and Silver less useful than they were before. Matilda comes out about the same – she can still blow stuff up, but making her ricochet into a second structure is less effective when it’s ice. Bomb can make debris fly farther, but again, it doesn’t hit as hard. And of course Chuck is useless with ice. So 5 out of 7 birds are as useful or less than they otherwise would be.

I get enough Blizzards from treasure chests that I figure I might as well use them. I’ve found that they combo with the Ducky reasonably well, so when all else fails, I just use them on a big room to get them out of the way. I’m never going to use them in the DC or the main game, so I figure I might as well experiment with them in the Arena, at least at the lower end of a streak where I have a lot of leeway for mistakes. It would be nice if a Blizzard could at least sometimes trigger a TNT detonation, like it does when you use the ice bird in AB Space.

I too am frustrated with how easily Terence can get stopped in his tracks, when under similar circumstances elsewhere, we’ve seen him crash right through a building and keep on going. It probably has to do with the angle at which he strikes an object – if he’s going mostly horizontally and hits a horizontal support, it seems to absorb a lot of the impact, whereas if he were one pixel off, he’d hit a vertical support and that in turn would push against the horizontal one, leaving little to no resistance against Terence because apparently that isn’t transferred back through objects to him. Probably something in the physics engine that needs a little tweaking, but this is just a wild guess on my part.
