No just adds extra defence.

Fire shield reduces the amount of status. So yeah.

You could also use some Magic Stones of Fogs on your jewellery to become more immune to ice status affects...

That's what I've been doing, but it takes a lot of those stones -_- and sometimes it fails.

Seeing how tablets drain elements and you level fast during low levels.. and assuming you stick to 1 stars... I suggest not worrying about ice resist till 6-8th degree when levels start sticking... Get decent fireshield flower, get uni pills, carry a shield with you... (low lvl, cheap one just in case u drop it)

On a trade run, put on shield, use fire shield, set unipills on autopot.. and voyage... rebuff when runs out/ cross ferries...
