Combat

Kristoff fights behind his greatshield and plays defensively. At range he casts the Thunderbolt skill to strike foes with lightning. After using Thunderbolt, his spear adds Lightning damage to its normal Pierce damage. He can break an enemy's guard with a counterattack from behind his shield. His bulk lets him take heavy hits for a long time.
