Overview
The Cold Apprentice is the boss of Stage 3 belonging to the Winter Event 2022. Similarly to the Cold Brute, she first appears at wave 40 and every 20 waves after. When afflicted by ice damage she won't only not be harmed, but she will heal as well. Every 2.5 seconds, the Cold Apprentice summons a Fortified Ice as her only summon, unlike the preceding bosses which have two.
Every 15 seconds, she gives all voids additional health equivalent to 100% of their maximum HP, though this is limited to 20,000. Every 30 seconds, she charges forward and stuns towers in her way for 4 seconds with her naginata. Uniquely, this charge attack harms players as well. As she grows closer to death, she will regenerate 5% of her maximum health instantly health lost along with making all voids 100% faster with every fifth of her maximum health.
Health

| Wave | Health |

| 60 | 3,565,000 |
| 80 | 28,350,000 |
Appearance
The Cold Apprentice brandishes a long naginata which she uses as her main weapon of attack. When not in use, she holds it close to her diagonally. She wears sandals, a blue kimono, fingerless gloves, and a black mask with an esoteric diamond symbol. Behind her, there are multiple rings of ice similar to the Cold Brute, though the general appearance and pattern of these rings differ with them having occasional 'blank-spaces' (outer ring) and rods of ice protruding outwards from the inner rings.
