**Arcade is being extra tricky with his Murder Box...**
It appears Arcade has been non-cooperative in his approach to this month's side quest and presented his clues in a nonsensical order. Lucky you, Summoners, we have our best and brightest on the case and those clues should now be a lot more straightforward. While messing around in Arcade's files we came across a phrase, highlighted and bolded, with sparkles and pointy arrows: "the abode for the dead" ... Maybe that will help you along the way!

With a rank 4 5-star champion with class advantage, the coldsnap was enough to almost kill your champion at full HP.
That Coldsnap was impossible back then. Today she would be no problem at all. ☻👍
There were a couple of exceptions, Rogue being the one that comes to mind. If you could either reduce the duration of the coldsnap or shake the debuff off you could survive. But I don’t think anything under 4/55 could just tank the damage fully.
Others have already described the difficult attributes of Ice Phoenix - the initial cold snap and the heal block - but what really made her nasty was the consequences of all that stuff. At the time not many people had experience fighting Iceman so evading Ice Phoenix’s specials was not easy for most. Couple that with the heal block and you get a champion what was very likely to kill you. Couple *that* with the initial coldsnap damage and you get a champ you couldn’t just revive and fight again, so you couldn’t just keep trying until you got her. If you died, you either had to revive *and* use a lot of potions (or else coldsnap would just kill you at the start of the fight) or reset the whole map and try again.
To be honest, at the time there was probably a lot of players dealing with UC content by just reviving their way through the rough spots, and Ice Phoenix was something you couldn’t do that for. That made her especially nasty for many UC players at the time. But even pretty good players could have extreme difficulty with her.
