Recommended Strategy:

The Glacial Agnaktor has two phases: ground and burrow. On the ground, stay close and attack its front feet or tail, dodging after its attacks. Giving it distance risks an Ice Beam attack. When it burrows, move constantly as it is fast and attacks quickly. The Glacial Agnaktor replenishes its snow armor each time it burrows, making the fight longer. Its breast is unprotected, or you can break the armor with Fire-elemental attacks and skills like Minds Eye.
