Notes
- 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
