Glacier (グレイシャー Gureishā?) is a Shield that can be wielded by Vexen in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It can be upgraded to Glacier+.

Design

The Glacier shield is shaped like an elongated diamond with a semi-circle chunk taken out of each side, causing it to resemble a spike on the Nobody logo. There is a long, "V" shaped piece connected to each of the side corners of the main shield. The inner edges of these side pieces are navy blue and the outer edges are blue-white. The main shield is sky blue with blue-white edges, as well as some cyan-colored markings along the edges.

Glacier is the French name for the Blizzard spell. Similarly, the spell's upgrade Blizzara is also known as "Glacier +" in the French versions of the Kingdom Hearts games.

Gameplay

The ground combo begins with a sharp thrust to the left, followed by a jab forward. The shield flies out of Vexen's hands in a sharp thrust forward as a finisher.

The aerial combo begins with a downward thrust, and flies out of Vexen's hands in a 360 degree slash attack as a finisher, coming to rest in front of Vexen.
