*Frederick's spells can be brutally powerful. Apart from Bolt of Cold, his spells simply deal extreme untyped damage. If he manages to get a Spellforged Servitor on the field, he essentially becomes twice as deadly. Frederick is an excellent opponent to use those [[scrolls of silence]] against. His melee skills may be decent (particularly if he has a weapon with a dangerous brand), but they're much less likely to deal 100+ damage to you in a single turn. | *Frederick's spells can be brutally powerful.

Tips & Tricks
- Frederick's spells can be brutally powerful. Apart from Bolt of Cold, his spells simply deal extreme untyped damage. If he manages to get a Spellforged Servitor on the field, he essentially becomes twice as deadly. Frederick is an excellent opponent to use those scrolls of silence against. His melee skills may be decent (particularly if he has a weapon with a dangerous brand), but they're much less likely to deal 100+ damage to you in a single turn.
- Alternatively, try to fight him at at extreme long range, popping spells like Freezing Cloud and then backing away. If you can hit him with a curare dart first, this kiting process will be even easier.
- While cold resistance will certainly help protect you from his Bolts of Cold, his Iron Shots and Force Lances are going to be a hazard regardless. A source of Repel Missiles will greatly reduce the threat from his spells if you have it, as will high evasion or a good shield.
- Summons can help block Frederick's Iron Shot, but they won't stop his Bolt of Cold.
History
- Prior to 0.25, Frederick had Iskenderun's Mystic Blast instead of Force Lance.
- Prior to 0.16, Frederick was known as Frederick the Vigilant, was a human instead of a demigod, and knew Invisibility instead of Spellforged Servitor.
- In early versions of DCSS, he was known as Adolf.
