Description
The Elemental is a beast that has two different forms: one being an ice-form, and the other being a fire-form. While in ice-form, your primary ability is to freeze players for a long time, hence making players very vulnerable to zombies, such as the hunter, cavebat, and tank. Ice-form elementals can also be used to effectively to fling players off the map by doing an ice drop. While in fire-form, your primary ability is to deal damage, although not being able to freeze players, you can deal a heck load of damage to unsuspecting survivors by shooting fire spit at them, and better yet, with a well placed fire drop, you can get around 5 kills... that's if the survivors aren't wearing fireproof vests. You can also do devastating combos by freezing a player, then transforming into fire-form to constantly burn the frozen player until death. Overall, this zombie is a beast, do not mess around with one...
