Endless Winter (Red)

Oldhim Specialization

Ice Fusion

If this was fused, whenever the defending hero adds a defending card to this chain link, create a Frostbite token under their control.

When this hits a hero, until the end of their next turn, whenever they activate an ability, create a Frostbite token under their control.

Rulings

From the Tales of Aria release notes

You may only play Endless Winter in your deck if your hero is Oldhim, Grandfather of Eternity or Oldhim (Young hero).
If the defending hero defends with 2 cards (while Endless Winter is fused) they would create two Frostbites.
Defense reactions become a defending card when they resolve. You would get a Frostbite token when the defense reaction becomes a defending card.
Endless Winter’s second ability gives a Frostbite token after an ability is activated. This would not affect the cost of the ability.
Playing a card is not the same as activating an ability. Playing a card while under Endless Winter’s effect would not create a Frostbite token.
A Frostbite token is an Elemental Aura with “Cards and activated abilities you control cost an additional . At the beginning of your end phase or when you play a card or activate an ability, destroy Frostbite.“

Keyword notes

Fusion - Fusion is a new keyword that fuses one or more elements with an elemental card to give an additional effect.

You cannot reveal a card you are using to pitch to play the card. You pay resource costs before additional costs.
You may still play the card without paying the additional cost of Fusion.
You cannot reveal multiple cards to Fusion unless the card states you can (i.e a card with dual Fusion).
You cannot reveal a card that does not fit the criteria i.e you cannot reveal an Ice card to a Lightning Fusion card.
An Elemental card with Lightning Fusion is not a Lightning card/Element card. E.g you cannot fuse an Entwine Lightning with Entwine Lightning.
Defending with a card is not the same as playing and therefore you cannot fuse while defending with a card with fusion. Note, defense reactions are played in order to defend, paying their cost to do so. You can fuse a defense reaction card that has Fusion.
