age of wonders 3 frostling dreadnought specializations

Tier 3 support unit with no ranged attack is fairly painful even with guard break and damage boosting for frost weapons.The Ice Witch has to move into a vulnerable melee situation, the White Witches are expensive and squishy, and Mammoths only deal physical damage and have poor defenses Frost is also resisted by many of the same enemies as Blight, which is especially problematic with all the undead running around, and Frostlings only get a few options to deal with this, none of which are particularly great.This means any non-caster Frostling player has to risk losses early at a critical stage in the game, which makes them much harder to snowball with

Fire damage is also probably the most common elemental type to match up against and there is little you can do to mitigate this except by making expensive White Witches, again, which plays into a specific caster-style playstyle.

Magma Forges guarantee a fire damage matchup early and there is no way to mitigate unless one spawns with a White Witch, which isn't guaranteed, especially with Weak starting army.

As the title of my post implies, I'm not particularly fond of the Frostlings.
