Frost Nova Information
People pick the Lich just for the Frost Nova ability. It is a very powerful ability that is up there with Chain Lightning. Frost Nova can take a chunk out of enemy units and destroy low hit point units such as ranged units and spell casters. The second benefit of Frost Nova is that it slows enemy units so it's great to use when they are trying to run away.
Use Mana Potions to cast Frost Nova more often. Use Dark Ritual so you can get more Mana to cast Frost Nova.
Frost Armor (Auto Cast)
Creates a shield of frost around a target friendly unit. The shield adds armor and slows melee units that attack it. |

Frost Armor
Frost Armor is useful for protecting allied Heroes and the Lich Itself. You can also cast Frost Armor on powerful units such as Abominations, Frost Wyrms, Knights, Tauren, and Bears to allow them to last longer. The slow ability is also useful because enemy units attacking a unit with Frost Armor will be slowed for 5 seconds.
Frost Armor only slows units that attack the unit with a Melee attack.
Frost reduces movement by 50% and attack speed by 25%.
Dark Ritual
Sacrifices a target friendly unit to convert its hit points into mana for the Lich. |

Dark Ritual Information
Dark Ritual is rarely used but very powerful because it can make the Lich have almost unlimited Mana for Frost Nova. It's best to use Dark Ritual on Skeleton Warriors.

Death and Decay Information
Death and Decay is useful for attacking enemy towns when they have packed their buildings very tightly. You can then destroy a lot of buildings and greatly damage the enemy. Death and Decay is also useful against people who build a lot of towers.
Death and Decay can be used to clear away trees.
Death and Decay Counters
