During the final battle, several attack patterns will become predictable over time. Once you get used to these, finishing the battle will be much easier.

In this article, we will look at how to defeat the Icebound Queen Boss in Ball X Pit and the rewards you will receive at the end.

Icebound Queen Boss Battle Overview in Ball X Pit

During the battle with the Icebound Queen, it is important to keep changing your position. Staying in one area can be risky because of the projectiles she will send your way. You must be patient with the queen, mainly due to the shields surrounding her at all times. Instead of shooting directly at her, consider aiming at the walls and letting the balls slowly make their way toward her.

These are the different stages you will face during the battle with the Icebound Queen.

Defensive Shield

The Icebound Queen, as her first defensive measure and on random occasions during the fight, will have her shield revolve around her. During this time, landing hits can be tough. Aim for the back wall as much as you can and let the balls rebound toward the queen. She will occasionally lower the shields toward her front, and this is when the balls rebounding from behind will deal significant damage.

Mini-Enemies Spawn

Mini-enemies will spawn randomly during the battle. While not very dangerous on their own, they serve as a distraction, blocking your shots and reflecting them. Occasionally, they will also shoot projectiles at you. The tricky part is when they spawn in the middle of another attack stage. The best strategy is to quickly eliminate these enemies before redirecting your focus to the queen.

Shield Dash

This stage can be quite challenging. There is no safe spot from the beginning, and you need to keep moving constantly. The Icebound Queen will shoot all four shields toward you in quick succession. Depending on where you move for cover, the next shield’s path will follow the same direction. If you are not quick enough, you will be stunned. You also need to avoid moving along the same paths, as the shields will return to the queen from those directions.

Lastly, the Icebound Queen will send out mini ice bullets from her shields. These spread out as they travel farther. For this stage, it is best to move to the far end of your side. This will make it easier to dodge the bullets as they spread apart.
