For anyone who doesn't know or missed it, Frost got a HUGE indirect buff in Patch 25.7.

Because now you can apply Status Effects to frozen targets, so there's no downside anymore to Freezing enemies with his 1 or 4. His 4 is now just a solid CC ability with the usual (but rather small) bonus armor stripping (unless you build for full Ability Strength) and now with NO NEGATIVES in spamming it.

I can't even begin to explain how big of a change this is for Frost, as it makes him viable again.

Previously, higher level frozen targets were generally a lot harder to kill than compared to if they weren't frozen, especially if the target didn't have armor to begin with, or if you had low Power Strength which didn't strip enough armor to make up for loosing the ability to apply Status Effects on them like Corrosive, Bleed, and Viral (the things that do most of the damage in this game).

This buff certainly puts Frost on a higher power level more comparable to what newer Warframes can do.
