Eridan's... attack is mostly just amusing. It does shield him from the shards of ice at least, but Tiir won't be as lucky without some very impressive evasive maneuvers - which will be made difficult by the ice at their feet beginning to slowly creep up their ankles. Just in case he plays any tricks on her she explodes a few of the larger shards as they get close to him, trying to box him in and get him to sit still for a good spearing.

"This would really be less humiliating for all of you if you laid down and gave up like good little subjects. You'll just be sent home if you die, is that so terrible?"

She'd been hoping that the ice would slow Eridan down since he looks cold blooded, but he seems to be fine for now. She may have to switch tactics shortly.
