Ranged snowball artillery of the frost legion

Marching alongside fellow snowman syndicate members during the Frost Legion invasion, the Snow Balla provides ranged bombardments. Armed with 220 health and 22 defense, this frosty pitcher hurls rapid snowballs across long distances, inflicting 55 damage in Classic, 110 in Expert, and 165 in Master mode on direct impacts.

Suppressing siege lines and collecting building snow

In older game versions, the snowballs thrown by Snow Ballas placed physical snow blocks that cluttered player defenses, but in modern versions they act purely as damaging combat projectiles. Dodging their high-arching throws is easily achieved with vertical jumping gear or shields. Each defeated Snow Balla drops Snow Blocks at a 100% rate (yielding 5–10 blocks per kill).

Trivia

  • The Snow Balla's throwing animation mimics a baseball pitcher winding up for a throw.
  • Defeating the Frost Legion unlocks Santa Claus during the holiday season.
