Among the most iconic demons in the Shin Megami Tensei series are Jack Frost and its variants, and they all make their triumphant return in Shin Megami Tensei V.
Black Frost, one of these Jack Frost variants, can be obtained, like a few other demons, via Special Fusion. Here’s which demons you need for the fusion and how good Black Frost actually is in combat.
How to Fuse Black Frost in Shin Megami Tensei V
Black Frost can be obtained via Special Fusion, but it is also possible to get one to join your party without having to fuse it. To do so, you will have to complete the Black Frost Strikes Back Again sidequest in Ginza. This quest can be started by siding with the Black Frost and fighting Dyonisus, who can also be found in the area to start the A Sobering Standoff sidequest. After defeating the Greek god, you will complete the quest and Black Frost will join your party.
In case you decide to side with Dyonisus, the only way to get Black Frost is via Special Fusion. You will need to fuse King Frost, Baphomet, and Loa to get it.
Black Frost’s Resistances and Skills
Black Frost, like pretty much every demon obtained via Special Fusion, can be quite useful, thanks to its resistances and skills. In Shin Megami Tensei V, Black Frost can resist Fire, null Ice, and repel Darkness. The demon is weak to Light, so be careful when going against demons that use Hama skills and the like.
Regarding Skills, Black Frost is a little limited, as the demon only has a skill proficiency of +3 in Ice and +4 in Dark. The -4 in Light makes it horrible at using Light skills.
Below, you will find all the skills Black Frost can learn.
