Every figure shows its source. Where a source is missing, the number is a placeholder — and it is never written as fact.

Icebox

Vertical · Ziplines and tube

Height wins the fight, so utility has to clear levels rather than corners.

2 sites · 25 published callouts · outside the pool. Rewards Duelist · Sentinel.

Both defaults, and the buy

Attacking
Clear the high angle first; the ground one is a trap.
Defending
Hold the elevation and force them to look up.
First buy
Buy for levels rather than corners; height wins the fight before the aim does.
Utility
Clear the level above before the angle in front.

Say it in three

Way in
A Belt
Plant zone
A Site

All of A: Belt · Nest · Pipes · Rafters · Screen · Site. Callout names are Riot’s own; the reduction to three is ours.

What the library can do here

The library holds no setup on this map yet — a gap, drawn rather than filled.

A tested starting point

No composition is written for this map — the seven in the Competitive pool have one each, and this is not one of them.

Written for Icebox

No agent row names this map yet. That is a gap in our own research, drawn rather than filled.
