Frost Ace was the central character in the first part of IMAGINE's seventh anniversary event. Players joined a Jack Frost NPC on a ride up an elevator when he suddenly transformed into Frost Ace. After his transformation he attempts to take on Alice, who easily swats him away. He later attempts to fight another Frost Ace, only for that Frost Ace's true identity to be the Mother Harlot, who easily beats him in her Frost Ace disguise. When she is weakened by the battle with the human players, a second Frost Ace appears, defeating her and avenging his fallen comrade.
His boss theme (燃える！フロストエース lt. Burn! Frost Ace) is reminiscent of tokusatsu sentai show and even received a parody opening movie with lyrics on one of the event's special pages. According to a 4Gamer interview with IMAGINE's composers, Frost Ace's theme was primarily inspired by theme songs used in 1970's tokusatsu and henshin anime, specifically Kamen Rider Stronger, Devilman, and Yatterman.
By defeating him, players were able to acquire his plug-in item to perform a special double-fusion of Tam Lin and Jack Frost to create him.
He was later added as a boss fight in Abyss Tower where he had a chance of dropping his transformation belt, a piece of equipment that boosted expertise gain for players.
