Info

• Frost expends 100 Energy to crash an avalanche down around him, striking all surrounding enemies within 8 / 10 / 12 / 15 meters and applying 6  Cold Status Effects. Shortly after, an icy pulse rapidly expands over the area, applying 10  Cold Status Effects to freeze enemies in place for 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 seconds and permanently reducing their total armor by 60%, then inflicts 800 / 1000 / 1200 / 1500  Cold damage. If an enemy dies while frozen, they violently shatter upon death, dealing 100 / 200 / 300 / 400  Cold damage to enemies in a 3 / 3.5 / 4 / 4.5 meter radius.
  • Enemy armor is fully removed at 167%  Ability Strength.
  • Shatter damage diminishes with distance and bypasses obstacles in the environment.
    • The armor reduction is applied after ~1 second of the casting animation has passed, but before the damage is dealt.
• While the avalanche does not affect Storage Containers, the explosion from frozen enemies does.

Augment

Main article: Icy Avalanche

Icy Avalanche is a Warframe Augment Mod for  Frost's  Avalanche that grants allies within the Affinity Range Overguard for each enemy hit. A percentage of Frost's armor is also added to the Overguard once per enemy.

Tips & Tricks

• With one player using  Corrosive Projection, 100% armor strip can be achieved at 137% Ability Strength.
• Avalanche can be used to immobilize large groups of enemies, as even if it does not kill enemies outright it lowers their armor, allowing players to finish off any survivors.
• Avalanche staggers enemies back a small distance when cast, this may result in them being out of range for the freeze and subsequent damage when at the edge of the area of effect, so it is important to make sure you group enemies effectively before casting.
• This ability can damage enemies through walls. Using Avalanche while pressed against a wall can clear a room without even entering.
• Avalanche can hit enemies who are above or below Frost's position.
• Arbitration Shield Drones won't dispel the freeze effect from frozen enemies.
• Avalanche can still serve as crowd control even with low Ability Duration, as the Cold status effects are not affected by mods and will stay on the target even when unfreezing (if the freeze duration is shorter than 6 seconds, that is).
