Hello! This is a guide to get you through the Cosmic Trial with Iceman. Note: This is NOT the best Iceman. It is NOT end game Iceman. You will not find the BiS items in this build. 

Set Up

I capped myself at 150 Infinity Points for these trial guides. It won't take too long to build up that many. By the time you've leveled up a few characters for synergies and farmed some Heroic (Red) Challenges and terminals for some gear you may even be past 150 IP when you try the trial. Worst thing that can happen when you try the trial is you fail there is no punishment. So give it a shot and see if you're missing damage, survivability or both.

Not all end game builds work equally well with less IP and gear. I tried a couple of the builds that already existed and found one that worked well to get through the Cosmic Trial. 

Synergies

We're focusing on our archetype stats - Durability and Energy - after that we're going for Energy Damage/Ranged Damage. Squirrel Girl and Wolverine as well of course for boss damage and bruts.

Infinities

I put 38 ranks into Temporal Loophole in the Time Stone. Attack Speed and Movement Speed are both incredibly powerful.

Gear 

 - This is the highest damage option at i70 if you choose to go that route.

  and  are my go to beefy artifact options  and are decent damage options that are pretty easy to farm up. As I was doing the Trial my immediate thought was Iceman absolutely does not need these tanky items and to note in there that you can swap to more damage artifacts that you have. Then I killed Madame Hydra and Red Skull with over 1 minute on each timer so he really doesn't need the damage either. 

His own uniques work for slot 1-5.There's better in some slots but we're trying to make gear as easy to get as we can.

For the medkit you want the shield on med kit use. Energy, health on hit.

Inisgnia - I used a Nick Fury insignia for the summon damage boost.

Team Up

Jessica Jones is kind of becoming my default here. The grouping is just too good.

Playstyle

This is not a complex build at all. We summon our golems, hold down our filler and use our other 3 damage skills together.

 

- Used as a combo. Use  >  then . Other two give extra vulnerability before we shatter with this.

- See above combo. Vulnerability source.

- Part of the combo. Also directs your golems where to attack.

- Dash, breaks CC.

- Signature use on CD.

- Here to restore Ice Armor. Pop it off when you need to get some back.

- Use this on CD. Just because you have 3 golems up don't think there's no reason to use this. It makes them throw a snowball at their target and pulse damage around them.

- Filler hold down in between CDs.

Hopefully this helps you clear the Cosmic Trial so that you can start farming your best gear and move on to bigger and better content and bigger and better guides! Have fun out there.

Thanks!
