I wouldn't weigh the strenght on a card compared to other cards. I'm looking more at what element you are, and what cards that element provides.
Ice characters are mostly defined by their amazing defensive gameplay, but can still dish out a lot of damage whether it be at the cost of your defense, plain attack cards or "DoT" cards like shatter/Frostbite.
What they lack would be actual sustain in the form of healing.
Almost every element has some a trait which they are good at, and another trait which they are less great at.
Many of the combinations you mention, like Corruption with iron hide and neutralize are of course extremely strong. That is mostly assuming a perfect scenario, where the Neutral character in mind will most likely win (70% assured victory) but there is another
huge factor to take into consideration with the game. It's a card game in which you can only have 5 cards on your hand, and you have about 15 cards + 5 Custom cards. You'd have a draw a strong hand like that to begin with, and you'd need 15 Neutral points to even do the combo.
But yeah, you can just neutralise in the same round to then continue your assault. But this is all assuming you'd draw those 3 exact cards and to then be able to use it in 4th round or 3rd round.
If they were to buff Frostbite on a ice character, then you wouldn't really make it more versatile than it already is. You'd just be able to destroy anyone with little counterplay, since every card for the ice character would almost work in perfect harmony.
When you look at card balance, you should try and focus on how the card works with what YOU got. If every card in the entire game had the same value as the other card, it would be a very boring game. Frostbite works because you can hide behind your shields,
while it ticks off + gathering energy or dishing out the damage.
Btw now that you mention earth cards, I would like to admit I feel like the strongest element currently is Earth as it has everything. Sustain, shields, crowd control, damage but it lacks low costs cards in general. Still feel its the strongest element.
I'm starting to believe we're getting off-topic as it has turned more or less into a balance discussion, and an Archknight is probaly gonna jump into this room in less than 3 seconds and tell us not to go off-topic etc.
