Info

  • Frost expends EnergyOrb25 Energy to launch an icy projectile in the direction of the reticle, traveling until it reaches an enemy or a surface. The projectile deals AbilityStrengthBuff150 / 225 / 275 / 350 DmgColdSmall64 Cold damage to an enemy if hit directly and freezes them in place for AbilityDurationBuff5 / 7 / 12 / 15 seconds. On impact, the projectile explodes in a 3 meters radius to inflict AbilityStrengthBuff50 / 100 / 125 / 150 DmgColdSmall64 Cold damage with 600% status chance to all enemies within range.
    • Area damage affects the initial target, decreases with distance, and does not bypass obstacles in the environment.
  • The freeze duration will end prematurely if the initial target loses 50% of its current health during the time it is frozen.
    • While frozen, enemies are unable to regenerate Shields.
  • Ability Synergy:
    • Casting Freeze onto the exterior of a SnowGlobe130xWhite Snow Globe will destroy it, triggering an icy explosion that damages and ragdolls enemies in an area of effect.
  • Casting Avalanche130xWhite Avalanche on a target frozen by Freeze will override Freeze's effects. The target will remain frozen for Avalanche's duration while temporarily reducing the target's armor and removing Freeze's health threshold.
  • Freeze is a one-handed action. As such, it can be used while performing various maneuvers and actions without interruption.
  • Can be recast on a frozen target multiple times, restarting the freeze timer.

Augment

FreezeForceMod
Main article: Freeze Force

Freeze Force is a Warframe Augment Mod for FrostIcon272 Frost that allows Freeze130xWhite Freeze to be held on cast, creating a wave of energy traveling outward from the user that temporarily grants the caster and nearby allies additional DmgColdSmall64 Cold damage to all attacks.

Freeze Force

Tips & Tricks

  • Its primary strength is that a direct hit causes the target to be frozen in place for a fixed 10 seconds, regardless of rank. This is particularly useful when fighting single enemies such as bosses to buy time for teammates to revive incapacitated Tenno, recharge shields, reload, etc.
  • Targets that are frozen will be freed of their immobility if they take health damage by anything. Freeze's utility can be easily wasted unless proper coordination with teammates is exercised.
  • Freeze can be used to set up an effective kill-combo on an enemy with a burst-damage attack.
  • Arbitration Shield Drones won't dispel the freeze effect from frozen enemies.
  • Placing a DmgSlashSmall64 Slash proc on enemies and then casting freeze can stop an enemy from killing you while slowly killing them via bleed damage.
