Freezing Shredder

''Please note that this item has been removed from Crosscode and is currently unavailable. It may, however, return later.''

The Freezing Shredder is a Monster in CrossCode. They can be encountered in the Autumn's Rise Observatory.

Appearance
The Freezing Shredder is a Cold-elemental variation on the standard Shredder. Like its non-elemental counterpart, it is a metal robot resembling a humanoid upper torso and head. It floats on rings of orange energy. It is made of dark grey metal with spiky blue highlights. It is identical to the Prologue Freezing Shredder, with the two only being distinguished by their stats.

Combat
During combat, the Freezing Shredder will follow the player closely and attempt to attack them. Their attack has three parts. First they dash forward towards the player, stopping just short of them if they are close enough. They then charge their attack, briefly flashing blue. They finish with a powerful Cold-elemental melee slash.

Strategies
The Freezing Shredders encountered in the Enemy Rush are complicated mainly by the fact that two of them attack simultaneously. Their attacks can't be disrupted by melee attacks, so dashing or shielding when they attack is important to avoid excessive damage in this fight; players at lower levels may find it easier to keep their distance and attack with Balls.

Development Notes
The Freezing Shredder was first introduced with the release of the Demo. It has appeared in all subsequent game releases, except the shortened demo.
