Ice Fruit
Ice is an Uncommon Elemental fruit built around crowd control, making it a strong choice for both grinding and PvP. It costs $350000 or R$750 offering excellent value for its price. Its freezing abilities can lock enemies in place, creating reliable openings for follow-up attacks and extended combos.
One of Ice's biggest strengths is its ability to control fights with powerful stuns. Its large-area freezing effects are easy to land and work especially well with swords and fighting styles, allowing players to chain attacks together with little chance for opponents to escape. This makes Ice one of the most effective fruits for combo-based bounty hunting.
Ice also performs well for general progression and farming. As an Elemental fruit, it provides strong grinding potential while its ability to freeze water allows users to travel across the sea without a boat. This gives it useful mobility for exploration, island travel, and various sea-based activities.
Its main weakness appears in PvP. Many of Ice's strengths rely on keeping opponents grounded and within range of its freezing effects. Players who stay airborne can avoid much of its pressure, making skycamping one of the most effective counters. Because of this, Ice users often need to secure a stun before committing to longer combo chains.

Water-walking passive provides convenient sea travel.

Weaknesses
Unawakened Form
Low damage output compared to many other fruits.
Struggles against airborne opponents and skycamping.
Elemental immunity loses value in the Second and Third Sea due to Aura users.
Can still drown if knocked into water.
Several attacks are slow or easy to dodge.
Certain moves create high knockback, reducing grinding efficiency.
Awakened Form
Very weak in aerial combat and heavily dependent on grounded targets.
Vulnerable to skycamping and air movement.
Some projectiles travel slowly and can be avoided by experienced players.
Several attacks leave the user open if missed.

Verdict
Ice offers excellent value in both its normal and awakened forms. The unawakened version is a reliable, low-cost fruit for grinding, progression, and learning PvP fundamentals, while the awakened version greatly improves its combo potential and crowd control, making it a serious threat in PvP. Despite its strengths, both forms struggle against airborne opponents and rely heavily on keeping targets grounded. For players who prefer stuns, utility, and combo-focused gameplay over raw damage, Ice remains one of the best choices in its price range.
