Notes[edit | edit source]
- Vicious Frost is additive with similar mods. For example, a
Galatine with a max rank Vicious Frost and
Melee Prowess will have a 20% × (1 + 60% + 90%) = 50% status chance.
- Can be stacked with
Melee Prowess,
Volcanic Edge,
Voltaic Strike,
Virulent Scourge, and
Drifting Contact for a 370% increase in Status Chance. On weapons with at least 22% base Status Chance, this allows them to achieve a total Status Chance value of 100%, allowing every strike to deal Status Effect procs.
Weeping Wounds can further increase the Status Chance depending on the Melee Combo Counter
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- All of the dual-stat event mods for melee weapons have names starting with the letter V.
- Vicious Frost was originally named Cold Touch before it was changed in Hotfix 14.5.2 to match the theme of having the Elemental Damage + Status Chance melee mods starting with the letter V.
Patch History[edit | edit source]
- Introduced along with Operation Cryotic Front.
