OHHH ICE BEAM GOOD

Does the intensity ever get affected by the weather/climate that he's in? If he's super hot/it's super hot does it go weaker? Does he ever run out of ice beam/are there times he can't use it? Or times when it's the strongest? Can he use it in mer form? Thank u

OUGH YES ICE BEAM QUASTIONS

Not at all! Talas' inner temperature is insanely controlled, he's got Thicke insulation so he's not generally affected by the temperature outside (which is why he has so much cold tolerance)

YEAH he can run out of ice beam if he's away from the water too long!! He also cant fire it endlessly he runs out of Juice. It's like in httyd how dragons had a specific number of shots they could fire within a short period of time. Since its a hypersaline compound though it just "recharges" passively while hes in the water

He can 100% use it in mer form and he does it every so often, generally if you see him unlock his mask its a bad sign because chances are you're about to get fucking blasted. In mer form he uses it especially to pin people down by shooting their limbs trapping them

#if youre questioning why its a hypersaline specifically. its because brine can actually be so much colder than regular water #so when this lower temp water (usually coming from ice) touches water ice forms around it pretty fast #its how the finger of death works in that one video! #i just extrapolated that idea into a beam attack. while near water or humidity it creates ice #so virtually everywhere in challenger deep #however in dryer places... it might as well act as liquid nitrogen. you know. that liquid that doesnt make ice but megafreezes #to the point where you can shatter anything that gets touched #the more you know!!! #honestly maybe i shouldmake the beam be liquid nitrogen now that i think about it #itd make sense. #hm. #ask #talas #oh btw. he also uses it to shoot things out of the sky should there be any (there is sometimes) #yes i have thought about ice beam attack a stupid amount. what about it
