Sorath the Frost Spider cannot be defeated by damage alone. You must keep HP Burn on her when she reaches zero HP or deliver the final hit with Block Revive. The rest of the team should control the spiderlings, survive Freeze, and help the burner land the decisive debuff.
Quick answer
Bring a high-Accuracy HP Burn champion, kill or control the spiderlings, and make sure Sorath is burning before the final hit. HP Burn removes her extra DEF and RES, lowers the chance of her mass Freeze, and prevents her revival if it is active when she dies. Block Revive is a valid alternative, but the correct champion must land the killing blow.
Sorath the Frost Spider mechanics
Sorath starts the boss round with two spiderlings. They do not need to deal direct damage to be dangerous: they cleanse the boss and support her, which can remove the HP Burn needed for the final kill. Sorath also becomes much harder to debuff and damage whenever HP Burn is absent.
| Mechanic | What it does | How to counter it |
|---|---|---|
| Whiteout | Attacks the entire team and places Decrease ACC. | Use Block Debuffs, cleansing, Resistance, or extra Accuracy so your key debuffs still land. |
| Katabatic Winds | Attacks all champions. Frozen targets receive Block Buffs and Heal Reduction; other targets receive Decrease SPD and Decrease ATK. | Cleanse after the attack, bring passive healing, and keep Sorath under Decrease ATK or Decrease SPD. |
| Absolute Zero | Removes your buffs, attacks all champions, and attempts to Freeze them. Its Freeze chance drops while Sorath is under HP Burn. | Maintain HP Burn and avoid relying only on removable defensive buffs. |
| Frozen Lymph | Can Freeze attackers and gives Sorath additional DEF and RES whenever HP Burn is absent. | Apply HP Burn early and refresh it before it expires. |
| Purge by Flame | If Sorath dies without HP Burn, she revives with 50% HP, full Turn Meter, reset cooldowns, and two spiderlings. | Kill her while HP Burn is active or use a Block Revive attack for the final hit. |
| Turn Meter resistance | Turn Meter reduction effects are reduced by 50% against Sorath. | Turn Meter control helps but should support the strategy, not replace HP Burn and sustain. |
How to beat Frost Spider step by step
Clear the waves safely
Reach the boss with your important skills available. Avoid using the HP Burn ability immediately before the final enemy in wave two dies.
Apply HP Burn early
Burn Sorath as soon as possible. This removes her passive DEF and RES increase and makes the Freeze from Absolute Zero less reliable.
Handle the spiderlings
Kill, freeze, stun, or otherwise control the spiderlings before they cleanse Sorath. AoE HP Burn can also turn their turns into extra damage against the boss.
Protect the team
Use healing, revival, Block Debuffs, cleansing, Decrease ATK, and Decrease SPD. Sorath can strip buffs, so passive healing is particularly useful.
Control her turns
Decrease SPD and Turn Meter reduction buy time, although Sorath cuts Turn Meter reduction effects in half. Combine control with sustain instead of attempting a permanent lock.
Prepare the killing blow
At low HP, switch to manual. Refresh HP Burn before the last hit or allow your Block Revive champion to finish the boss.

Stats and gear priorities
HP Burn champion
- Accuracy: the first priority unless the HP Burn cannot be resisted.
- Speed: enough to refresh HP Burn before it expires or is removed.
- HP and DEF: keep the burner alive until the final phase.
- Useful sets: Perception, Accuracy, Speed, Regeneration, or Immortal.
Support champions
- Build Speed so cleansing and healing return quickly.
- Use Resistance where practical, but do not sacrifice essential Speed.
- Give spiderling controllers enough Accuracy for their debuffs.
- Use HP and DEF main stats on fragile healers and revivers.
Do not copy one Accuracy number for every floor
Sorath’s Resistance changes with the stage and rises sharply when HP Burn is absent. Check the statistics for the exact Normal or Hard floor, then give your burner a safe Accuracy margin. An Accuracy aura or Increase Accuracy buff can reduce the gear requirement.
Common mistakes
Finishing without HP Burn
Sorath revives with 50% HP, full Turn Meter, and refreshed skills. Reapply HP Burn before the last attack.
Ignoring the spiderlings
The spiderlings can cleanse the boss and remove your win condition. Kill or control them before committing to the final phase.
Too little Accuracy
Sorath has high Resistance, especially without HP Burn. Damage stats are wasted if the decisive debuff never lands.
Depending only on buffs
Absolute Zero removes buffs before dealing damage. Use strong base durability, passive healing, cleansing, and revival as backup.
Mistiming Block Revive
Owning a Block Revive champion is not enough: that specific attack must deliver the killing blow.
Overvaluing Turn Meter control
Sorath reduces Turn Meter depletion by 50%. Treat it as support, not as the only defensive plan.
Frost Spider rewards
Sorath drops Frost Spine materials used to forge Frostbite artifacts. Frostbite gear helps champions resist Freeze and can place Freeze on attackers, making it useful for selected control and defensive builds. Farm the highest stage your team can complete consistently rather than forcing an unreliable higher floor.
Frequently asked questions
Why does Frost Spider keep reviving?
Sorath revives whenever she dies without HP Burn. Keep HP Burn active for the killing blow or finish her with an attack that blocks revival.
Is HP Burn required for Frost Spider?
HP Burn is the most reliable solution because it weakens Sorath and prevents her passive revival. Block Revive is the alternative if the correct attack lands the final hit.
Who is the best accessible champion for Frost Spider?
Drexthar Bloodtwin is one of the best progression choices because he places HP Burn and provides an Accuracy aura. He can be collected through Tag Team Arena fragments.
Can Armiger stop Sorath from reviving?
Yes, but Armiger’s Block Revive skill must deliver the killing blow. His Turn Meter reduction also helps, although Sorath reduces its effect by 50%.
Should I kill the Frost Spiderlings?
Usually yes. They can remove debuffs from Sorath, including the HP Burn needed to defeat her. Kill or control them before the final phase.
What stats are most important against Frost Spider?
Accuracy and Speed are the priorities for the HP Burn champion. The rest of the team needs Speed, HP, DEF, and enough Accuracy or Resistance for its assigned role.
